Chapter 1824
Heather stepped through the crowd and began to approach Caprice. She asked while wearing a bright smile on her face, “Caprice, why are you here? Are you graduating this year?”
Before Caprice could form a reply, people began to whisper among themselves, “Caprice? Isn’t she the girl from the 21st intake in the faculty of business?”
“It is her. She’s only a sophomore this year. What is she doing here anyway?”
“I don’t think this job fair is open to students from her faculty”
“Definitely not, nor will it ever be. Everyone knows that her faculty is the worst in our university.”
“She’s not here to job hunt, I can tell you that much.”
“But it looks like she knows Miss Manson. That’s pretty impressive.”
Based on her looks alone, Caprice attracted a lot of albeit unwanted attention from her peers from the very first day she entered Sparkrow University as a freshman. Being the quiet and reserved person she had always been, she preferred keeping her social circle restricted to her roommates only and barely acknowledged the boys who tried to flirt with her
As time went on, many of them began to get bitter about their rejection and started to defame her. They said that Caprice was very arrogant and pretentious. Some even claimed that she was very dull and had no personality to speak of
All this was to say that although people largely left her alone, she was quite popular
The people who began to murmur amongst the crowd were the same ones who badmouthed her and mocked her for having a dull personality.
Caprice ignored them and turned her attention to Heather
As Heather heard the chatter, the smile on her face seemed to grow ever wider.
Caprice was feeling rather upset but did not let it show. I’m not here to job hunt. I just noticed a lot of people gathered here, so I wondered if there was anything interesting going on.”
Heather found an opening. She pointed out bluntly. “There’s a huge sign outside that says that it’s a job fair. Did you happen to not notice it by any chance?”
Someone in the crowd cried out sharply, “Yeah, the signboard is right there. Anyone who can read can tell that this is a job fair, Seriously, how can anyone be dense enough to not realize that?”
A shrill laughter emerged from the crowd.
If I had to guess, she’s here to look for attention from the boys. What an attention-seeker.”
“She’s always acting so arrogant and acts as if everyone around her is invisible, so it was an act all along”
“Haha… she sure likes the attention, doesn’t she?”
Caprice was struck speechless. Normally, she would not bother entertaining such trivial conversations However, it was hard to maintain her usual aloofness when all of them were insulting her right in her face!
What got on her nerves most was seeing Heather’s unruly smile.
She was seething with rage at this point.
Although it was only a short, stoic reply, she was relieved nonetheless.
He had replied This must mean that he was not upset at her about what happened with her friends and
Heather last night.
She smiled softly.
She could deal with Liam not having feelings for her, but she would fall apart if she knew he felt even the slightest tinge of hatred against her.
Caprice was a sophomore at Sparkrow University which was ranked among the top three universities in Westchester Despite that, it was an entire tier below Aleph University
Caprice barely managed to make the cut for Sparkrow University during her entrance examination. This meant that the course she was assigned to at the university was one of the easiest and least prestigious
ones
In other words, her coursework and curriculum were quite easy and manageable.
With the summer approaching, she was about to graduate soon.
There was going to be a job fair going on today. Recruiters from all sorts of companies were going to show up to screen the students to look for suitable candidates. They wanted to look for potential hires to induct into their companies to help them kickstart their professional careers.
Since Caprice had no classes scheduled today, her friends made her go with them.
Frankly, they were not interested in this job fair. They were only here to gawk at the handsome seniors if there were any
However, they were no good targets to speak of at the job fair. They did chance on Heather who was immediately surrounded on all sides. She wore a high ponytail and was dressed in a business suit, exuding a mix of professionalism and good taste.
She had always been beautiful, and the fact that she was a top student at Aleph University further boosted her reputation. Now that she was one of the leading figures in the infamous Carter Tech City, her reputation continued to skyrocket to unprecedented levels.
