The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 370

Chloe answered with complete sincerity.

"It feels more respectful."

Even though Jocelyn was technically just a developer and not a formal executive, Chloe knew better than to treat her like a normal coworker.

Her skills surpassed absolutely everyone else in the company.

More importantly, Julian treated her with a level of reverence he gave no one else.

Jocelyn didn't push the issue.

If calling her that made Chloe comfortable, so be it.

As her taxi drove down a familiar street, she suddenly realized Northwood University was just around the corner.

She hadn't been back to her alma mater since the day she graduated.

Since she was already in the neighborhood.

She figured she might as well drop in for a quick visit.

However, the security guard stopped her at the main gate.

Jocelyn tried explaining multiple times that she was an alumna.

But the guard adamantly refused to let her through without a faculty pass.

Just as she was about to give up and turn around.

A familiar voice called out to her.

"Jocelyn?"

She turned around, her eyes lighting up instantly.

"Professor Thorne."

A woman in her fifties with salt-and-pepper hair hurried over with a warm, welcoming smile.

"It really is you! I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. It's been years, and you look more radiant than ever."

Professor Thorne had been her most influential mentor during college. She wasn't just a brilliant educator; she was a highly respected expert in the global tech industry.

Whenever Jocelyn hit a massive programming roadblock, she would always consult her in private.

They had kept in touch over the years, though they rarely managed to see each other in person.

The physical distance had never diminished the deep respect and bond they shared.

Jocelyn never failed to send her a thoughtful message on every major holiday.

She had often wanted to buy her expensive gifts to show her gratitude, but always stopped herself.
