"Wow! This building looks like it came out of a Harry Potter movie!”
Toto's incessant chatter pulled Nicole out of her sentimental mood.
Nicole lost the mood to appreciate her familiar surroundings and quickened her footsteps.
'Ugh! Why did Dad agree to let Toto follow me?!’
Nicole walked to the back of the campus and stopped i n front of an exquisite small building.
She turned to the side to look at Toto.
"You and Luca can wait outside. I'll come out after I see my professor."
Toto scrunched up his features and gritted his teeth.
"But... Ms. Stanton, is your professor a man or a woman? I’ll buy a souvenir for you. It's not good to meet someone empty-handed after all. We ought to show our Medianian hospitality, right?"
Nicole rolled her eyes. "I already brought a perfume. It's in my bag. Give it to me."
Toto thought, 'Perfume? It must be a woman!'
He handed her the bag and said joyfully, "It's such a rare chance to see your professor. Don't worry about u s and chat a little longer!"
'Why would I worry about them?' Nicole cast a sidelong glance at Toto. She did not want to lose her temper in such a noble and peaceful place.
Thus, Nicole just reached out to take her bag and went inside.
Toto sighed in relief. He turned around and sent a message to Eric.
"Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Stanton came here to visit her female professor. She only has eyes for you and ignores everyone's good gestures. She sighed seven times along the way. I guess she misses you too much, so you have to get well soon!"
After sending the message, Toto ran over to Luca.
"Luca, do you want some ice cream? My treat!"
Luca said, "Get lost."
Inside the library.
At the innermost corner of the library, Nicole saw a skinny man crouching over his laptop, tapping away a t the keyboard with a full screen of unintelligible code.
She thought back to her times here. It seemed like her professor had not changed much these few years.
