    Chapter 48 Samuel Swanson of Weston


    When Emelie attended Cloudex Corporation’s annual dinnerst year, she identally bumped into a man. Though she’d reacted instantly, she still i


    Emelie offered to pay the man for staining his shirt, but he refused. Still, after Emelie’s insistence, he


    finally agreed to take the money.


    Because of that, Emelie thought she owed nothing to the man anymore. But now that Samuel brought it up, she’d immediately remembered.


    Emelie carefully observed Samuel. He was a handsome young man with gold–


    rimmed spectacles and clear eyes. His gaze was cool but not ufortable. Overall, he gave off a harmless but wise air.


    Emelie even noticed something glinting by his ears. She squinted and realized they were spectacle


    chains. They added a seductive air to him, making him look both demure and attractive.


    Emelie took all but five seconds to make all such observations. She extended a hand. “Hi there, Mr.


    Swanson.”


    He didn’t shake her hand but cocked an eyebrow instead. “You call me Mr. Swanson just like my students do, but I’m sure you have no idea who I am. L


    Emelie was surprised. She didn’t expect him to be from the Swanson family from Weston.


    The Swanson family was just as powerful in Weston as the Middleton family in Capebatt City.


    Emelieposed herself. “I didn’t expect one of the Swansons to be a college professor. My apologies.”


    Only then did Samuel shake her hand. “One benefit of having so many siblings is that my brothers can handle the business while those who aren’t skille


    “If college professors ‘aren’t skilled,‘ then I’m sure there are no other professional careers in existence anymore, Mr. Swanson.” Emelie thought Samuel w


    Samuel smiled and asked again, “So, do you not need me to show you around, Ms. Hoven?”


    Emelie said frankly, “I’m honestly not here for much besides taking a look around. I’ve had my fill already.”


    Samuel cocked an eyebrow and nced at his watch. “It’s midday now. The best way to get to know a college is to see what its cafeteria offers. Let me t


    quite serendipitous for us to be able to meet, after all!


    Emelie didn’t want to refuse such an offer. She figured that since Samuel was a professor here, he probably didn’t need to spend that much when paying


    The cafeteria at Capebatt University served their dishes in bowls, which the patrons would ce on their trays before paying for everything at the counte


    Emelie got food from each food group. She nced at how much Samuel paid at the counter and saw

    that it was only about 17 dors. Sho instantly felt relieved


    Samuel would be able to afford that little amount of money.


    “The cafeteria sorven really good fish pie. Try some Samuel pinced his slice of fish pie in front of Emelie. which Emelie gratefully epted.


    Emelle had expected someone born from an upper–


    ss family like Samual to be more peculier when it came to dining etiquette. For example, to not talk while outing.


    But he did the opposite.


    “Are you a local, Ms. Hoven? Which college did you study of?” Samuel naked.


    Emelie ate her food and answered, “Yes, I’m a local, but I graduated from Glenfield College.”


    “I’ve taught there before as well. They have rown of magnolia trees that go in full bloom in spring. It always makes the campus smell amazing.”


    Emelie nodded. “Yeah, I just so happened to graduate when the magnolias went into full bloom. It felt like the trees were sending us off. It’s also because


    “Capebatt University has sweet olive trees,”


    “I like them. They smell nice, too.”

    Samuel then got out his phone. “Why don’t we exchange contacts? I’ll tell you when the flowers bloom here so that you cane and see them.”


    Emelie exchanged contacts with him without hesitation. She shot Samuel a quizzical nce when he


    chuckled.
