A Rose 262


    1/2


    Today was another one of Charlie’s sses. With a face glowing with confidence, he strode up to


    the podium.


    He hade prepared, certain he could attract Yvette’s attention to his lecture!


    But Yvette merely lifted her eyes to nce at him once. Then sheid her head down on the desk to


    sleep.


    Charlie’s fragile, tender heart shattered instantly. Was his lecture that unengaging? Why did Yvette


    always fall asleep in his ss?


    Yvette waspletely unaware of Charlie’s thoughts. She had spent the previous day


    administering two acupuncture treatments to Yara. The sessions drained most of her energy. She


    needed a good amount of


    rest to recover.


    When Yvette woke up, the ss had already ended. She stretchedzily, only to meet Charlie’s


    resentful gaze. She wondered what was wrong with him.


    “Liam is here again…”


    Suddenly, the ssroom was abuzz with chatter.


    “Of course, he’s here for Yvie again! I heard Ashton and Sean already warned him, but he still dares


    toe looking for Yvie. He’s so romantic, I can’t handle it! I’m going to cry.”


    “Yes, exactly. Every day, hees from Vista University to Jubilife University. I heard the


    chancellor of Vista University is terrified. He’s worried that Liam might transfer to Jubilife University


    for Yvie’s sake!”


    Yvette’s indifferent gaze swept across the room. The chatter ceased immediately as everyone


    behaved


    well.

    As Yvette walked out of the ssroom, Liam approached her with a faint smile on his face. Once


    again, he made everyone swoon.


    “Oh my gosh, look at that… Liam’s eyes light up as soon as he sees Yvie. I ship them so hard!”


    With a hint of resignation, Yvette said coldly, “From now on, wait for me at theb.”


    “Alright.” Liam’s eyes dimmed slightly. He only wanted to see her a bit earlier every day, which was


    why he waited outside her ssroom.


    Yvette didn’t linger, striding toward theb. Liam obediently followed. Seeing the fatigue on her face,


    he couldn’t help but say, “You look very tired today. Why don’t we go to theb tomorrow instead?”


    Yvette pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement. “Okay.”


    She still had to go to the hospitalter to check on Martha. Her energy was indeed running low.


    “Watch out!”


    In that moment of distraction, a car sped past her from the side of the road. Liam quickly pulled her


    into his arms.


    From a distance, they appeared like an intimate couple, embracing. The man in the car a few feet


    away took it all–in.


    Can he drive away now?


    Sitting in the driver’s seat, Samuel shivered, sensing the chilling air radiating from the man.


    “Mr. Quinn, I’m sure there’s been some mistake. There’s no way Ms. Yvette would be interested in a


    kid


    like Liam! He’s just a young, good–looking guy who’s around her age. That’s all he is, nothing but a


    pretty boy. I’m sure Ms. Yvette prefers someone like you–mature, dependable, and older…”


    Older?


    Samuel’s words hit a sore spot, and Wilson’s anger was palpable.


    Wilson’s eyes narrowed, his face growing grim. A cold fury radiated from him. “Wakara is short–


    staffed. You can start work there as soon as you can.”


    Samuel was on the verge of tears.
