“All right, you guys should go. We're heading back too.” There was no point in time staying back.
“Mr. Tristan, you treat Sophie really well!”
After that afternoon, Greta finally understood how much Tristan spoiled Sophie.
“That's why you had better not offend her. Even I don't dare to do so.” Since Greta was now his girl, he found it prudent to warn her.
Otherwise, even he would get into trouble.
“Mmm-hmm.”
Greta had no choice but to nod despite the resentment she felt.
We're all women, so how did Sophie end up being so lucky as to meet someone who's not only amazing but patient with her?
On her way home, Greta gave the matter a lot of thought.
The next day, she went to see Simon upon arriving at school.
He happened to be having breakfast with Sandra. At the sight of Greta, Sandra informed him, “Your pursuer is here.”
She couldn't believe how persistent Greta was. I don't care who you are. As long as you try to get close to Simon, you'll be my enemy.
Without even looking up, Simon knew who it was and let out a sigh.
I've already said everything that needs to be said, so why doesn't she understand?
“Simon, I know that you have always disliked me, but you don't have to fret anymore. I have a boyfriend now and will stop clinging to you. Going forward, just don't bring up my naive actions in the past.”
Truth be told, she really liked Simon but had decided to give up on him due to his unchanging attitude toward her.
Her words finally caused Simon to look up.
“Ms. Soros, you have finally seen the light. Congratulations on this wonderful news!”
He was elated that she would stop bugging him and couldn't care less about who her boyfriend was.
Why is he so happy?
Greta couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Simon is nothing compared to Charles, but why am I feeling this way?
“Anyway, I wish that you find happiness too!”
Since he likes Sophie, he should be focused on pursuing her. In fact, I hope Mr. Tristan hears about it. That would certainly be perfect.
With that, Greta went off to have breakfast by herself.
As for Simon, he was in a particularly good mood and ate another bun.
“You seem to be very happy.”
“Of course! I can't believe there's someone so tasteless as to fall for Greta. He's such a fool.”
Greta doesn't have any sincerity at all. All that matters to her is her boyfriend's status and other pursuits of vanity.
Meanwhile, Charles sneezed loudly in his office.
“What's wrong? Do you have a cold from overindulging in your desires?” Felix asked candidly.
Charles gave him the side-eye.
“Felix, is that who you think I am?”
“Charles, I'm telling you the truth. Greta isn't your type!” Felix couldn't help but said it out loud.
Even though it was rare for Charles to finally be in a serious relationship, his choice of a partner was utterly shocking.
“I knew it. You guys don't approve of her. Why? What's wrong with Greta?” She seems fine to me.
“I can sense that she has insincere motives.”
“Felix, what are you saying? Don't I deserve happiness too?” Charles wasn't angry. He was just disappointed that everyone was pessimistic about his relationship.
“Fine. Do whatever you want!” Felix couldn't be bothered to continue the topic.
After all, it was too early to tell who would be hurt at the end since Charles was a playboy.
Meanwhile, Simon and Sandra approached Sophie the moment she entered the classroom. He told her what happened on a happy note.
“Tell me, who is the idiot who fell for Greta?”
“Charles Quigley!” Sophie answered since it wasn't a secret.
“Who?” Simon obviously knew who he was, just like everyone in Jipsdale. He just couldn't believe his ears.
“Exactly who I said it was. You didn't hear me wrong.”
“I know I shouldn't say this, but Charles? Are you sure? He actually fancies a woman that I'm not even interested in? Where are his standards?”
Simon didn't want to sound mean but just couldn't help it.
Sandra patted him on the back.
“Simon, Greta is still a girl at the end of the day. Even if you don't like her, you shouldn't disparage her.”
“Fine, I'm sorry.”
Nonetheless, he couldn't care less about the matter.
Who knows, Charles might really be into girls like that.
Meanwhile, it was anatomy class that day. The professor, in a particularly good mood, was smiling broadly at everyone.
“Professor, you seem happy today. Did something wonderful happen?” This professor's mood is really unpredictable.
“Mmm-hmm. There's major news today, haven't you heard? The headquarters of International Medical Association is moving to Chanaea!”
“What? Really?”
Every medical student naturally knew about International Medical Association, as it was everyone's dream to join it one day.
“Oh, my God! I would die without regrets if I was able to meet Dr. Smith.”
The students in the classroom got all excited over the news.
Simon, too, added happily, “My dad is a big fan of his. If he were to hear of this, he would definitely jump for joy!”
“Your dad?”
“That's right. Dr. Smith is my dad's only idol.” As someone born into a prestigious family within the medical fraternity, Simon had heard plenty of stories about Barney.
“Me too. I decided to take up medicine after reading one of Dr. Smith's books,” Sandra mumbled. “I want to meet Dr. Smith and Professor Gullifer too!”
Sandra was truly stupefied upon hearing the news.
“Oh!”
However, Sophie barely reacted at all.
“Sophie, with your talent, you'll definitely be able to join International Medical Association. Now that you're our only hope, you have to work hard, all right?” Sandra was cognizant that she wasn't good enough, but Sophie was certainly cut out for it. “Once you're accepted, remember to let me meet Dr. Smith and Professor Gullifer, okay?”
“Sure!”
Upon hearing her words, one of their classmates snorted in laughter.
“What sort of place do you think International Medical Association is? Do you think they'll accept just about anybody? You guys are being ridiculous!”
“That's right. Even the professor might not get in!” And yet, Sophie can? What sort of joke is that?
