I remember your one–month deadline is coming up soon, right?”
“Yeah, it is.”
Rebecca nodded, a happy smile on her face that she herself
hadn’t even noticed.
“Sounds like you two are getting along well.”
“It’s really good. How should I put it… being with him makes me
feel like I’ve become a different person.”
Madeleine grew curious and pulled her closer, asking how she’d
changed.
Rebecca thought for a moment.
“For example, I’m someone who values money a lot. If I had to
choose between money and other things, I’d most likely give up
everything else.”
Madeleine pressed her lips together. “But Professor Shaw is the
exception, right?”

“Yeah.”
Rebecca didn’t hide her true feelings from Madeleine at all.
The two of them sat together on a wooden bench on the
veranda. The bench was high, and they swung their legs
together, watching the goldfish in the pond below.
“If Adrian ever needed money, I’d give it to him without a
second thought. Sigh, Madeleine, do you think that makes me a
bit of a hopeless romantic?”
After saying that, Rebecca laughed at herself.
“I used to look down on people like that. I always thought
material things were the foundation of life, and that without
money, any of those vague feelings were just smoke.”
“Anyone who would give up tangible things for the sake of
feelings is an idiot.”
Madeleine turned her head to look at her.
Sunlight filtered through the sparse leaves along the corridor,
casting dappled light and shadows on Rebecca’s delicate
profile.

Those eyes, always sharp and shrewd in the business world,
looked especially soft now as she gazed at the ripples in the
pond.
“But…”
Rebecca continued, a hint of confusion in her voice that even
she couldn’t quite grasp, “When I think of him, I just feel… that
being an idiot for once isn’t that big of a deal.”
She turned her head to look at Madeleine.
“To put it a bit dramatically, it was Adrian who taught me how to
love someone.”
If that day ever really came, she thought, she’d just consider it
paying tuition.
Madeleine’s thoughts turned to Roderick, to his unconditional
favoritism for her, his impulses that defied logic.
Love… it really does change a person.
“So, did Professor Shaw pass your trial period?”
Rebecca chuckled softly.
“Of course.”

Rebecca chatted for a bit and then hurried to the front hall.
Guests were arriving one after another, and she had to greet
them.
Madeleine sat alone by the pond, lost in thought.
That business with the photo…
She decided not to tell Rebecca for now. If she saw Adrian,
maybe she could have Roderick ask him about it.
She could tell Adrian’s feelings for Rebecca were real. If it was
just a misunderstanding, it would be best to clear it up.
Thinking this, Madeleine’s mood improved considerably. She
took out her phone and hurried over to take pictures of the little
one.
Although Rebecca didn’t have many friends, her business
networking skills were more than enough.
Mr. Whitman was naturally very pleased with Rebecca. When he
talked about his daughter with his business partners, his face
was filled with pride.

“By the way, Mr. Whitman, Rebecca isn’t getting any younger, is
she? Isn’t it time to think about her settling down?
Want me to have my wife help out with that?”
Mr. Whitman smiled. “I’ll let her handle her own affairs.”
“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Cooper.”
Rebecca walked over with a smile and clinked glasses with Mr.
