He nodded and whispered, “Don’t worry about that. Focus on your coming examinations.”
Indeed. Why bother? That was none of my business anyway.
Independence Day holiday.
Thanks to Emery, I got to sit in on classes at K University. That would really help with my revision for the examinations.
I met Emery’s fiancé, Hunter Zane, as I got out of class. He was a tall, soft-spoken, bespectacled man, every inch of him was gentlemanly.
He was the one who wrote the recommendation for me to attend classes at K University. “Prof Zane!” Waving my arms, I called out to him from afar.
He saw me, smiled and stopped in his track.
I went up to him and saw he was holding some law books. He must have just finished his class. “Anymore classes later?” I asked.
He shook his head. “I am done for the day. What about you? How was the English class?”
“I have learned a lot!” I replied as we walked out of campus together. “Are you going to Clermont later in the day?”
“I may not be able to make it. I have guests coming, so I have to pick them up. Please help me get a message to Emery—ask her to join us for dinner tonight.” Hunter replied.
“Sure! Your parents are coming?” I probed. He smiled and nodded.
Hunter’s from J City. Since it was nearing their wedding date, I supposed the family came for the wedding.
We parted at the car park as he had to rush off for his next appointment.
I walked to and from class most of the time as K University was not far from Clermont. The weather was refreshing, perfect for a nice and relaxing stroll.
I did not notice the black Bentley that stopped by the side of the road until someone blocked my path.
It was Marcus.
“What’s up?” I grunted.
“Where are you heading? Let me give you a lift.” He stood there leisurely with a hand in his pocket and a cigarette between his long fingers.
