Chapter 11


    Chapter 11


    Even though she seemed to be cool as a cucumber on the surface, she couldn’t hide the anger that


    bubbled within. Julie strutted out of Kieran’s hotel room with her head held high, but her steps were as


    shaky as a newborn deer.


    If it wasn’t for Kieran reminding her, she would’ve forgotten that she was a topw school graduate,


    who had top grades of the ss. Actually Julie wasn’t particrly brainy. From kindergarten to high


    school, she had always followed Kieran, attending the same school and ss. They were the kind of


    buddies who grew up together. Deep down, Julie knew that she had to study hard to get a chance to


    see Kieran every day.


    Later on, before going to college, Julie heard that Kieran was heading tow school. Without any clear


    life goals, she had always taken Kieran as her guiding star. So, she chosew as her major faster than


    a hot knife through butter.


    While waiting for the eptance letter, Julie asked Kieran about his college choices by herself. Only


    when the eptance letters arrived did she find out that he had chosen business school for corporate


    management studies.


    Julie was shocked. She wanted to retake the exams, saying, “If I go tow school, how many years


    would it take before I see him again? And even after I start working, I won’t be able to help him in his


    field. If I retake the exams, I’ll miss him for one year at most, and then I’ll be his college mate. How


    sweet would that be!”


    Even though Julie was as stubborn as a mule, she couldn’t fulfill her wish to retake the exams. Her


    family was well–off and her sister Sansa was awyer. Her parents nned to find her an easy job


    through Sansa after graduation.


    In the end, Julie had to eat humble pie, all because Kieran told her, “Joyce, if you don’t retake the


    exams, I promise I’lle to see you every Saturday. If you retake, I’ll study abroad.”


    Was Kieran threatening her? Of course, he was. But she was as soft as putty in his hands and gave in


    without a fight. So, to see him every week, Julie ended up going tow school.

    Back then, Julie’s ultimate goal in life was to be Kieran’s wife. For her, studying was harder than


    rocket science. The only reason she got intow school was that she thought Kieran had applied there.


    Later, when she lost sight of her goal, Julie went from being top of her ss to nearly flunking out,


    making many professors question whether she had cheated on her entrance exam. Just when Julie


    was about to throw in the towel and switch majors, she heard that Kieran, the business school guy, had


    passed the bar exam. The fact was that the man who seemed to be good at everything had passed.


    Julie’s fighting spirit was rekindled instantly. She stuck to Kieran like glue, begging him to tutor her.


    Eventually, under her relentless pursuit, Kieran gave in and agreed to help her.


    Under Kieran’s help, Julie performed like she had superpowers, shocking those who thought she


    wouldn’t even graduate. In the end, not only did she enterw school with top scores, but she also


    graduated as the valedictorian, bing a distinguishedw school graduate.


    If Kieran hadn’t reminded her today, she would’vepletely forgotten that she was once the top


    student inw school. Ironically, she now adamantly refused to work in anything rted tow, all


    because of him, the man who taught her everything aboutw.


    Julie took a deep breath with a smirking smile on her face. Her phone buzzed in her pocket for a while


    before she finally pulled it out.
