The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 433

Two days later, at Birchwood College.

Two big events were shaking up the campus today. First, the city-wide basketball tournament was gearing up for its final, the most intense match – Birchwood College versus the Polytechnic University. Second, the popular TV series In Love With My Professor was being shot on location at Birchwood College. The campus was known for its picturesque beauty, making it a popular filming spot.

However, the students weren't as interested in the filming as they were in the basketball game. After all, the outcome of the match was a matter of school pride, a showdown between the two peak teams.

Ever since Harold mentioned the basketball game to Callum, the kid had been pestering to see it. Kids were always drawn to excitement.

This interfered with Ronan's initial plan to return to Millstone. He'd left his vice president to take care of things there and instructed Emerson to consult with Wyatt in case of any issues.

Ronan decided to stay put until the contract with Empower Operations was signed. He sent Harold a message via Facebook Messenger. [Any tickets left for the basketball game? Callum keeps asking to go.]

Harold's reply was laced with amusement. [Looks like the mighty CEO is going out of his way for the kid, huh?]

[Just wait till you have kids of your own.] Ronan shot back.

Harold's next message took Ronan by surprise. [Good thing you're coming. I've decided to confess my feelings to her during the game. My professor told me she's not as indifferent towards me as I thought.]

[All right.] was all Ronan replied.

[Should I drop off the tickets at your place? Do you prefer front or back seats?]

Considering he was bringing a child, Ronan replied, [Back.] The back seats were less conspicuous.
