Chapter 68
Dous arrived at the driving school half an hourter in a taxi.
When he got closer, I could see the flush on his fair skin.
Lilian and I also smelled the faint scent of alcohol on him.
He whispered while looking at us caringly, "I had a sudden appointment. Did you guys wait for long?"
I''d already exined to him why I wouldn''t be attending the party on the phone—it was the same excuse I used on Lilian. But Dous was still
worried and wanted toe over anyway.
I didn''t know that he hade over from a drinking session and felt embarrassed. "I should be the one to apologize. Did I ruin your gathering?"
But Dous didn''t answer me and Lilian replied instead, "You''re too kind. Have you forgotten who he is? It''s our kindest and sweetest ss
representative. I bet he’s dying for you to find him."
"Stop fooling around."
Lilian shrugged. "Cops. My dad''s calling me home for dinner. Since you''re here, please help teach Nancy how to drive."
Lilian left as she spoke, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared from our line of vision.
Dous exined, "Her father is the best driving instructor here.”
I understood immediately.
After all, there was no way normal citizens like us could get ess to such a big training area.
Dous then redirected the conversation back to me. "Let''s talk about you. Nancy, Stack will also be attending tomorrow''s party.
"Theirpany has set their sights on the domestic market. So, he’s speciallying with hispany’s person in charge to look around. It''s a rare
opportunity.”
My hope that had been extinguished suddenly flickered back to life by Dous’ words.
Observing my silence, Dous asked again, "Didn''t you always idolize him? Don''t you want to meet him?”
I was a bit shocked. "How did you know that?”All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
Dous smiled. "I know a lot more than that."
I suddenly didn''t know what to say. Then, I heard him say, "Everyone knows how talented you are. Go and meet him. You can''t just stay down and
feel defeated because he rejected you, right?”
"He rejected me?" I was confused.
Dous nced at me. "I''m sorry. I happened to see your application to study abroad at the counselor''s office.
"How should put it? The

When I heard Dous talking about traveling abroad, my mind seemed to have exploded, and I stood there stunned.
I thought not many people knew about this.
Then, merfories from the past

but think of the Jadara University

At that time, Stack was the lecturer in charge.
I guessed Dous thought that I had been rejected.
When I recalled this memory, I also felt the anger and unwillingness behind it.
I whispered, "Do you still have slots?"
I had to admit, I was wavering.
Upon hearing this, Dous grinned. "Of course. I''m happy you made this choice.”
He was so emotional that he reached out for a hug. In fact, he seemed to be more passionate than his usual gentle demeanor.
I thought he wanted to motivate me, so I reached out my hand. "Dous, thank you."
After chatting for a while, I suggested sending him back.
After ncing at the BMW identical to his, a hint of surprise shed in his eyes.
"It''s apany benefit. Ms. Whittaker chose it." I felt a bit awkward
Dous raised his eyebrows and grinned. “She has good taste."
An hourter, I sent Dous back to a hostel near the university town
Then, Dous stood before the car and pointed at the building. "You know where I live now, soe over when you have time."
"Okay."
