"Casey! What are you doing? Come down here. The professor will be here in a minute. Don’t come here and cause trouble just because you are angry for the moment?"
Elodie looked at the Casey standing on the platform and her first reaction was that this guy was coming to make trouble.
Everyone in the classroom paid their attention to Casey because of Elodie's shout. They were all staring at him curiously, not knowing what was going on.
"Girl, I ‘m the teacher today, anything wrong with it?" Casey glanced at Elodie and said.
His words caused uproar in the classroom and the students all looked at Casey disbelievingly. Casey was only several years older than them, and how could the school invite such a young man to be the visiting professor.
However, Andrews and several other teachers were quite calm. They all met Casey in advance and knew that this young man was really the visiting professor invited by the dean.
"Oh, my God, is this the visiting professor invited by the dean? He is too young. Are you sure he's not joking on the platform on purpose?"
"Is it true that he spent money to gild himself? But isn't this professor invited by the dean in person? Hasn't our dean always looked down on such kind of thing?"
"Damn, it is estimated that this man has only graduated for a few years. Judging from his age, I deem that he is younger than Mr. Andrews. Mr. Andrews has been promoted at an amazing speed, and he has not been able to reach the level of professor. This is ridiculous."
……
"Casey, would you please have some sense of shame? You think all of us here are fools or something? How old are you? How could you be a visiting professor in our school?" Elodie looked worried and felt that the joke of Casey had gone too far.
"Girl, please sit down now. Class is going to begin. Don't disturb the class order." Casey said to Elodie again.
Elodie got angry and thought that Casey was addicted to playing and she planned to tell the true face of Casey directly so that he would be embarrassed in front of all.
Just then, Annie walked into the classroom, and she frowned at Elodie and said, "What are you waiting for? Professor Davies asked you to sit down. Do you still want to make trouble?"
When Elodie saw Annie coming in, she opened her eyes wide immediately and murmured, "Annie, he …"
"Stop talking and sit down quickly. Don't interfere with Professor Davies’s class." Annie said toElodie.
Elodie only felt as if there was a crash of thunder coming to her ear, and she became frozen immediately. She sat down in her seat subconsciously, staring blankly at Casey on the platform and thinking about the word "Professor Davies" that Annie had said.
Seeing that there were still many people in the classroom doubting the identity of Casey, Annie cleared her throat and said, "Dear teachers and students, this is Mr. Davies, it is our great honor to have him here as the visiting professor of our school. Mr. Davies will give you a lecture today. I hope everyone can listen to Mr. Davies 's lecture with great enthusiasm and earnest attitudes."
