The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 431

Professor Dustin was also in the finance department office, serving as a mentor in the investment field. That also meant he was Harold's mentor.

After greeting Professor Dustin, Cordelia spent half a day discussing the content of the project with Sally and Sean and assigning tasks.

"Ms. Haselwood, in a few days, it's the finals of the basketball game, and tickets are hard to come by." Sally winked playfully at Cordelia.

Probably because Cordelia was around the same age as the students, and they looked similar, they didn’t see her as a teacher.

"Really?" Cordelia knew what Sally meant, implying something about her and Harold.

"If you want to go, I can help you with tickets," Sally offered again.

"I’m not going, and you should be focusing on the project, shouldn't you?" Cordelia tapped the table to draw Sally's attention.

Sally lowered her head, looking a bit sheepish.

Once the two had left, Cordelia began to pack up her things to leave.

"Cordelia, I heard my grad student Harold is pursuing you." Dustin said.

Now in his sixties, Dustin reminded Cordelia of her grandfather, invoking a sense of familiarity.

"Oh, it’s nothing like that." Cordelia was a bit embarrassed.

"Actually, I quite approve of him doing this, but I fear it might trouble you, so I apologize on his behalf," Dustin said with a smile.

Cordelia didn’t know how to respond.

"If he does anything inappropriate, let me know, and I'll correct him," Dustin continued.

Cordelia felt that Dustin seemed quite proud to have a student like Harold. Indeed, the more knowledgeable the person had, the more unique the thoughts they shared.
