As Gerald nodded at her, he guessed that his new female colleague must have just graduated from the university fairly recently.
Quinlan, on the other hand, caught on quickly that Marjorie seemed to admire Gerald a lot. Seeing that, he couldn’t help but feel slightly jealous.
After all, both of them were newcomers who had the same post and same specializations. They even came at the same time! With so many similarities between them, Quinlan couldn’t help but feel slightly competitive with him.
However, Marjorie wasn’t even giving him a chance to shine. Seeing her being nice to only Gerald only added to his gloominess and annoyance.
Despite that, Quinlan wasn’t an idiot who didn’t know how to read the mood. Because of that, he simply followed behind the two, silently watching as Marjorie continued chatting with Gerald.
“Oh? Are those the two new lecturers who’ll be joining our team, Miss Swift? Both of them look quite handsome!” said a few young lecturers as they walked over and greeted Marjorie.
All of them were women and they looked to be around Marjorie’s age.
“Indeed! This here is Mr. Gerald Crawford, while his name is… Um… I apologize, but what was your name again…?” asked Marjorie rather awkwardly as she turned to face Quinlan.
Since Marjorie had placed most of her attention on the handsome Gerald, she now realized that she didn’t even remember Quinlan’s name!
Smiling wryly, Quinlan then said, “I’m Quinlan Yoxon!”
In the end, however, the same thing happened when all the female lecturers began surrounding and talking with Gerald instead of him.
As Quinlan’s jealousy intensified, a few luxury cars could suddenly be seen driving toward the group. Screeching to a halt right in front of them, Marjorie and the other women were stunned when they saw a few bodyguards donning black coats getting out of the cars.
