Adaline was about to follow a senior student from the reception counter to complete the admission procedures when Adrian took her to the university’s main office building instead.
Curious, Adaline asked, “Why are we heading to the office when the dorms are over there? I can handle the rest from here, so I think it’s about time for you to leave.”
“I’m going to introduce you to someone. I’ll leave once I’ve helped you settle down.”
Adaline remained silent, not knowing to whom Adrian was going to introduce her.
When they arrived at the office building, Adrian brought Adaline upstairs and headed straight for the chancellor’s office. However, there was no one inside the office when they entered.
“Let’s sit here for a while.”
“Adrian, what are we doing in the chancellor’s office?” Adaline seemed tense.
‘The chancellor is the one with the highest authority in a university!’ she thought.
“Let’s just sit and wait for a while.” Adrian then sat on the sofa and picked up a magazine to flip through.
Shortly after some nervous waiting on Adaline’s part, a middle-aged man in a suit pushed open the door and entered in a hurry.
“M-Mr. Magnus,” Adaline anxiously greeted and got to her feet the moment she saw the man.
The middle-aged man’s name was Magnus Sewell, the chancellor of Swallowston University.
Magnus threw a swift glance at Adaline before standing before Adrian and saying in a respectful manner. “I’m really sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Adrian.”
Adaline’s mouth hung wide open with shock. ‘Did the chancellor just greet my brother respectfully?’
