With this many directors in my office, has something happened?
With her eyebrows raised, Ashlyn focused on Principal Potter.
“Well, it’s about the lecture I’ve mentioned to you last time. Now that the National Day Gala Night is over, I was wondering if you would have the time to give a lecture at our university. After all, you’ve saved countless lives with your expertise.” Principal Potter was finding it hard to look directly at Ashlyn because of how beautiful she was.
She’s that genius from many years ago!
She made it!
There was so much going on inside of Principal Potter that, for a while, he did not know what else to say.
Dr. Berry specializes in surgery, but she’s well-versed in Chinese medicine too. She can definitely give a great lecture.
Principal Potter looked at Ashlyn with inexplicable enthusiasm but also with mixed emotions.
Puzzled by his gaze, Ashlyn asked, “I have no problem with giving a lecture, but why are you looking at me like that?”
“Oh, I didn’t mean to.” Principal Potter did not expect Ashlyn to agree to his proposal without hesitation.
He froze for a while before continuing, “Thank you, Dr. Berry. Can you do Monday and Friday afternoon?”
“Sure, I’ll be there on time.” Ashlyn nodded in agreement.
“My assistant will contact you to sort out the details for the lecture,” responded Principal Potter immediately.
“Sure, it’d be my pleasure to help out the students.” Ashlyn smiled.
After standing up happily, Principal Potter glanced at his watch. “Why don’t I treat you to dinner at the Imperial Hotel tonight, Dr. Berry?”
“I think you should save it,” Lucas sneered before he caught Ashlyn’s glare. Suddenly, his tone changed, “Because dinner’s on me. You can have whatever you want.”
He sure changed his tone fast enough.
What a manic psycho!
