Mika offered an awkward smile, about to brush off the compliment.
A second later, a haughty female voice cut through their conversation from the row ahead.
"What hope does the Restoration Society have? You're a brand-new, attention-seeking club. You really think you deserve an elite university grant?"
The conference room was built like a theater, with tiered seating that could hold about three hundred people.
Mika had chosen a seat dead center in the third row, while the girl had claimed the very front, practically radiating arrogance.
The club presidents were still trickling in, mostly keeping to their own conversations.
But the girl's loud, condescending tone instantly drew several sets of eyes.
"Who is that? Why is she being so loud?"
"That's Sloane Sterling, president of The Dance Society. They're one of the oldest clubs on campus and have solid corporate sponsorships.
"They also get paid for gigs. They're easily one of the richest societies here, which explains the attitude."
"Ah, The Dance Society. That makes sense. We really can't compete with them.
"They exclusively recruit gorgeous girls with stunning curves. Getting sponsors is a breeze for them."
Listening to the whispers, Mika leveled her gaze at the arrogant back of the girl's head, a hint of amusement sparking in her eyes.
Sloane Sterling. She remembered her perfectly.
In her past life, once Seraphina Sutton was recognized by the Jace family, countless classmates who used to despise her suddenly flocked to kiss her feet.
After all, with the Jace family's connections, everyone wanted a piece of the pie.
