The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271 Brenna’s Irresistible Charm-

Shirie University had mapped out Brenna’s teaching schedule for Tuesday afternoons–four consecutive weekly sessions stretching over two months.

On that particular Tuesday, Brenna finished her lunch early and arrived at her temporary campus office by one in the afternoon. The university had assigned her a spot in the Mechanical Engineering Department’s graduate

faculty area.

The office was mostly deserted since professors were often tied up with graduate supervision. Only Brenna, the academic advisor, and a handful of lecturers typically frequented the space.

For the lecture this time, Brenna had brought along Tommy, who was busy arranging automotive models at a

table.

As Brenna prepared her teaching materials, an unexpected knock broke the tranquil atmosphere in the office. Tommy opened the door to find several sharply dressed male students waiting outside. They looked to be in their mid–twenties, likely graduate students from Shirie University.

The young men stood nervously, hands hidden behind their backs. When they saw Tommy instead of Brenna, they peered past him into the office. “Excuse me, is Professor Harper available?” one asked, his voice tinged with anticipation.

Tommy glanced back at Brenna, who remained focused on her work, not bothering to look up.

Understanding Brenna didn’t wish to be disturbed, Tommy politely replied, “Professor Harper is preparing for class. She doesn’t have time to see you all right now.”

The students wore expressions of disappointment but maintained their respect. One of them stepped forward, revealing the bouquet he had been concealing behind his body. “Would you mind passing this to Professor Harper?”

The other three students followed suit, presenting their own floral arrangements and placing them in Tommy’s arms. “Please deliver these to her as well.”

The first student added, “You must be Professor Harper’s assistant! It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Tommy nodded politely. “I’m Professor Harper’s assistant and the head of her mechanical design studio. Are you all graduate students in the Mechanical Engineering Department? If you’re interested in joining our team,

feel free to reach out to me.”

The students‘ faces lit up with unbridled enthusiasm. “Yes, we’re mechanical engineering grad students,” a third–year student responded eagerly. “I’ll be graduating next year! I’ll prepare my resume right away!”

He exchanged looks with his companions, their excitement palpable.

After the students had left, Tommy shut the door and placed the floral bouquets beside Brenna’s workspace

“From your admirers,” he said, returning to his model cars with a teasing smirk. “Your popularity never fades. Should you worry about Mr. Mitchell getting a little jealous?”

Brenna shot him a frosty look. “He’s got an entire office full of beautiful female secretaries. I didn’t even say anything about that.”

Though the sight of those secretaries hadn’t initially bothered her, the memory of it now stirred an unfamiliar

discomfort within her.

Tommy’s eyebrows shot up in surprise–this was the first time he had seen Brenna getting upset over something like that.

A quiet chuckle escaped him. Was the usually cold and reserved Brenna finally developing feelings for someone?

Their conversation was soon interrupted by another series of knocks.

“Is Professor Harper available?” called out a male voice.

Tommy opened the door to find a larger group this time–about eight students, clutching flowers and gift boxes. Their eager faces leaned in, hoping for a glimpse of Brenna.

A particularly striking girl stood on her toes, catching sight of Brenna’s profile with palpable excitement. “Does Professor Harper have a moment?” she asked.
