Chapter 35


    I had never imagined that the person I was looking at was Dous.


    Normally, he wore iron rimmed sses and dressed like someone''s hipster husband. To be blunt, he usually dressed like an old man.


    It waspletely at odds with how he looked like now. He looked both ravishing and charming, and the difference was astonishing.


    "Are you disappointed now that you know it''s me, Nancy?”


    I waved my hand and exined. "That''s not what I meant. I just felt that your current image looks very simr to one of the main characters in our


    game. That''s why I was staring.”


    I had been rather rude.


    Dous was a little surprised. He sighed and said, "I thought you liked this kind of style."


    I raised my eyebrows slightly and couldn''t think of what to answer.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    At that moment, Lilian and Kayson appeared from the left. They greeted me enthusiastically. "Nancy, you have no idea how manydies came over to


    hit on Professor Irvin before you arrived!" Lilian looked proud. Then, she lowered her voice. "They even bought him coffee.”


    Kayson put on a high-pitched voice as he imitated them. "What vor do you like, Dous?”


    I said amusedly, "Dous'' current look is very attractive to women."


    Kayson wanted to say more, but Dous stopped him. "If you keep making fun of me, don''t ask me toe again next time."


    Only then did Lilian and Kayson subside tactfully.


    I had only just realized that Dous. the university professor, was often called by Lilian and Kayson to go to variousic conventions as a


    cosyer.


    No wonder I had bumped into him.


    After that. Dous brought me to different areas so that I could admire the differences in how theics were being promoted. I learned many things


    in the process.


    I couldn''t just let them help me for nothing, so after theic convention, I suggested buying them all a meal


    We all went to Rico Restaurant together.


    When we passed by a private room on the second floor, we bumped into Kate. She was having dinner with a bunch of richdies.


    Kate''s gaze swept over Dous. who was standing beside me. She asked, "He looks familiar. Is this your new boyfriend, Nance?”


    I was about to exin when Dous said, "Hello, Mrs. Harold. My name is Dous."


    Kate was startled. Then, she stuck out her hand and said, “You look like an aplished young man. Where do you work?"


    She was being pretty nosy, so I couldn''t help frowning.


    "I teach at Nicox University." Dous was very polite. "I was Nancy''s ssmate.”


    Upon hearing this, there was a calcting look in Kate''s eyes.


    I quietly changed the subject and told Dous to go and order the food first. I stayed behind to deal with Kate.


    In the corridor, she sighed and said, "Nance, I''m really happy that you''ve found a good partner, unlike Bruce. He just worries me so much.”


    Close to, I could see that Kate''splexion didn''t look too good. There were traces of foundation caked in the corners of her eyes.

    I could onlyfort her. "Since it''s Mr. Harold''s choice, just humor him. There''s nothing that can''t be resolved between a mother and her son."


    "I''m worried about the Harold family..."


    When Kate heard the richdies calling for her. she stopped talking and returned to the private room.


    Before she left, she invited me out to afternoon tea with her.


    She was bing more and more ustomed to the life of a richdy.


    Unlike me. I still had to work just to make ends meet.


    However, I still had a good dinner that night. We were all friends from university, and weughed as we reminisced about our times at university.


    I found it pretty surprising


    When I returned home, Iid calmly in bed and suddenly felt that life was pretty interesting after all.


    Then my phone rang. It was Kate


    It was already 9:00 pm, and it was rather unexpected.


    I was worried that something had happened, so I answered the call.


    "Nance, you''re not asleep, are you? I''ve got to tell you, I suddenly remembered where I''ve seen your boyfriend before.”


    I pinched my brow, trying to suppress the impulse to hang up.

    I was too shocked to speak.


    I finally understood why someone as influential as Richard only spoke courteously to Dous.


    But Dous kept a very low profile and had a gentle personality. No one would have connected him with the Irvins. who were famous in Joddensdon


    and Saza.
