Chapter 360

The corridor outside the private room was very quiet, with no one around.

Calvin walked quickly.

Gideon chased after him, jogging to catch up. “Calvin, are you feeling bad from the alcohol? Do you want to see a doctor?”

No need.”

le paused for a moment, and Gideon almost bumped into him.

alvin turned and looked at him. “Don’t follow me.”

But…” Gideon was clearly worried.

I know what you’re worried about. Recently, I don’t have that thought.” Calvin said clearly.

efore Gideon could ask why, Calvin continued on his own.

Eliza’s going to give seven lectures at Washington University. I’ll be going to listen to them.”

Don’t bother me.”

ideon, “.

e immediately nodded, “Okay! But you just drank, don’t drive. I’ll get the driver to take you.”

e happened to know where Calvin lived.

ut Calvin coldly turned him down.

11 call a car to go back myself.”

fter saying this, Calvin turned and walked away, leaving Gideon with a somewhat cold back.

ut this time, he wasn’t so nervous.

e could relax for a while!

Vith her qualifications and reputation, the seats were filled up quickly.

When others came in and saw that the first person to arrive had taken the most cornered seat, they were all very confused.

Eliza arrived on time at the lecture hall, and she didn’t expect so many people to come to her class, which made her a little nervous.

But she quickly adjusted.

After all, she’d been through big events before and quickly found her rhythm.

uckily, she had prepared her lesson plan in advance, and her teaching style was pretty laid back.

ven a boring finance course, she could make it lively and fun, keeping the students entertained.

uring the class, there was constant laughter.

liza also left ten minutes for the students to ask questions.

t first, everyone was asking serious questions related to the material, and Eliza answered them carefully.

ut then, the questions started to stray.

tall, handsome young male student suddenly asked, “Professor Grant, do you have a boyfriend? Can I pursue you?”

s soon as he finished, the whole classroom erupted in laughter.

it the guy still looked at Eliza directly, waiting for her answer.

iza raised her hand to signal for quiet, then lifted her right hand and proudly showed her engagement ring.

le smiled warmly at the student who confessed, “You might not have the chance. I’m already engaged.”

le room was filled with regretful sighs, and the bell for the end of class rang right on time.

iza packed up her lesson plan, smiling and saying goodbye to everyone.

le walked out of the door, and only then did Calvin reluctantly look away from her.

aly in situations like this could he look at her without restraint.

e had always known Eliza was popular,

at he didn’t expect her to be confessed to by a student in class.

ley, you’re not here to attend the class, are you?”

ae boy sitting next to Calvin asked him in confusion, “You didn’t take a single note the entire class. It’s kind of weird.”

alvin swallowed hard and after a long pause, he dryly explained, “I lost my hackpack,”

e had been so focused on watching Fiza that he forgot to go through the motions.

uckily, he was sitting in the back corner, so he wasn’t noticed.

ut people are greedy,

t first, he just wanted to see her from afar.

hen he wanted to hear her voice.

And later… he couldn’t be satisfied with just that distance,

He wanted to get closer, a little closer.

So, in the second class, Calvin sat five rows closer.

Of course, he still sat at the edge so he wouldn’t attract Eliza’s attention.

This time, he was better prepared–he not only “disguised himself but also brought a notebook.

But after one class, his notebook was filled with Eliza’s name,

And not a single note related to the lecture.

uckily, the students beside him weren’t curious and didn’t catch on to his little scheme.

ince he hadn’t been discovered the first two times, Calvin moved up five rows again for the third class.

he lecture hall had only twenty rows, and now he was sitting in the middle.

Ithough his position wasn’t too noticeable, his outfit was a bit eye–catching.

uring class, Eliza glanced toward him several times.

alvin had never been this nervous.

really felt like being caught by the teacher.

e was on edge the entire class, and just as it was about to end,

liza suddenly started asking questions and randomly called on students to answer.

t first, she was calling names normally, but when she reached the seventh question, Eliza paused for a moment, then pointed to the tenth row, at the very ige, the guy wearing a hat, “Please stand up and answer my question.”

alvin seemed to freeze, not standing up right away.

was his classmate next to him who tapped him and reminded him to stand up and answer the question.

alvin stood up, but he had no memory of the question Eliza had asked.

e had been too busy watching her.

Why? Can’t answer? This question is easy. Didn’t you listen to the class?” Eliza tapped her fingers rhythmically on the podium, her voice steady but full of

ressure.

student nearby kindly whispered the key answer to him.

ut Calvin didn’t dare to speak.

nce he opened his mouth, Eliza would definitely recognize him, and everything would be exposed.

the critical moment, the bell for the end of class rang

liza withdrew her gaze and switched to a more relaxed tone, “That’s all for today’s class. Class over.”

alvin had narrowly escaped.

But he knew, he couldn’t come to her classes anymore.

When Calvin had dinner with Gideon, his mood was clearly off.

After Gideon kept asking, he finally explained the reason.

When Gideon found out, he felt frustrated.

Chapter 360

He had just relaxed for a week, and now he had to start living in anxiety again.

Calvin, why don’t you just be upfront about it? Even if you can’t be lovers, at least you could be friends, right? It’s normal to meet up as friends!”

Tom Gideon’s point of view, he couldn’t quite understand.

alvin remained silent for a while before finally speaking. “We can’t be friends.”

she personally told me she hates me.”

She also said that if I were locked in a room with a Japanese man, and she had two bullets, she’d shoot me with both.”

ideon. That’s a pretty strong dislike.”

hen he heard Eliza say that back then, his heart had also been heavy.

at at the same time, he was relieved she hated him.

ecause that meant she would give up on him,

ad completely cut ties.

ate is always easier to let go of than love.
