Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 956

Mira's request caught both Quentin and Dean Henderson off guard.

Was she... bossing the dean around? Was she throwing her weight around?

"Are you familiar with Professor Gwen Quinn in the Finance Department?" Mira asked, cutting straight to the point.

"Yes," they replied simultaneously.

"She's my aunt, Gwen. Due to family issues, we don't get along, and I'm worried she'll try to badmouth me."

A professor's word carried a lot of weight.

"You don't need to worry about that. Our admissions are based strictly on grades. Plus, as long as your academic record is clean, no one's opinion can sway the decision," Dean Henderson said.

"A student as brilliant as you will have professors fighting over you."

"To be honest, I'm not worried about getting rejected or barred from enrolling.

I'm mainly concerned she'll spread rumors, creating friction between me and the other students or faculty. It would make things awkward," Mira explained frankly.

As a public figure, giving a fake, diplomatic answer only to be exposed later would just cost her respect.

"If that's the case, rest easy. I've got this handled," Dean Henderson declared, patting his chest. "I will personally speak to your professors."

Quentin took the opportunity to butter him up. "Look at Arthur, being such a loyal buddy!"

*Smack.* Dean Henderson slapped the back of Quentin's head. "Loyal buddy? We aren't some street gang. What does loyalty have to do with this?"

"Okay, okay, not loyalty! Professional ethics!"

*Smack.* Dean Henderson hit him again. "You brat. If I didn't help Mira out, would that mean I have no professional ethics?"

"Arthur, if you keep hitting me, I'm going to get brain damage, and then I definitely won't be able to come up with the right words!" Quentin whined, clutching his head.

He quickly corrected himself for Mira's benefit. "Arthur doesn't rely on professional ethics. He's just a stand-up guy."

Seeing Dean Henderson raise his hand again, Mira quickly intervened. "Thank you, Arthur. I owe you a favor.
