Chapter 66 - The Arrival
After the towel drama ended, Aaron laid down on the sofa, and soon he fell asleep, lulled byf the song Anne played. Meanwhile, Anne, who was still busy in the pantry, smiled when she saw him sleeping. She worked carefully in the pantry so as not to make a sound and wake Aaron up. Anne then sat on a fur rug not far from the sofa near the large window which was the only window in Anne's room. She opened her cell phone to read the message sent by Professor Gilbert.
Anne smiled as she read the messages on her cellphone. She didn't become part of the costume and wardrobe. Anne was moved to the front as a greeter to welcome guests. This was because Professor Gilbert received a report from Linda that Anne was sick. However, because her position was very easy, she couldn't get perfect scores like her other friends. And Anne didn't mind that. The important thing was that she could still participate in the event, which would be held in two days.
And as a receptionist, Anne didn't need to practice like the other friends. She only needed to prepare a guest book and pens for the guests who would come. Because the classical music in the background was very soothing, Aaron's soft snoring sounds could be heard. Apparently, he was really sound asleep. Seeing him sleeping, Anne finally grabbed a pillow that was on the other sofa, she then leaned against the wall near where she was currently sitting. Not long after that, Anne also fell asleep. Both had just received treatments at the hospital last night, so they still needed a lot of time to rest.
UAL
Today Jack was seen coming to the UAL campus. He was invited by Professor Gilbert to see the students' practice in preparation for the performance.
"Yes sir, so the list of players is all in the starter kit that you are holding," replied Professor Gilbert quickly answering Jack's question.
"In total, how many students are involved in this event, Prof.?" Jack asked again, reading the starter kit he was holding.
"About seventy or eighty students, sir, this event consists of a combination of three classes, sir. From music classes, free design, and fashion designer," replied Professor Gilbert briefly.
Jack nodded his head slowly at Professor Gilbert's words. He then put the starter kit he was holding on to the table again. From the stage, the students could see Jack sitting in a chair with Professor Gilbert. They seemed fascinated by the figure of Jack who was no less handsome than the CEO of Connery Corporation that they had seen before.
"I'm sure he must have been rich," said one of Isabel's men, not taking her eyes off Jack.
"Looks like he's one of the big bosses of the company who will come tomorrow for the summit," answered Isabel with a smile.
"Maybe. It means that our campus will be visited by very rich handsome CEOs," said several of Isabel's other men excitedly.
Hearing the words of her subordinates made Isabel smile. She tried to find out who was the handsome man sitting not far from where she was today. As one of the most popular girls on campus, Isabel had special criteria for her potential lover, so it's no wonder she had another ability to detect whether the man who was approaching her was a rich man or not. She could tell from the man's appearance with just one look, both from the clothes, shoes, accessories, or from his gesture.
"Looks like that guy is really a rich man, mmmmppp I have a new potential prey, Aaron Sean Connery is indeed very handsome and rich, but this man is equally handsome. Right now all I need to do is find out who he really is. After that, then I can decide who I should focus more on," Isabel said to herself, as she continued to stare at Jack with a smile.
The view was not much different from the other side, where Gabriella and some friends were also staring at Jack. She was apparently also very curious about the figure of a handsome man who sat with her lecturer. The three-layer suit worn by Jack was really capable of hypnotizing all the girls on campus. The reason was that only businessmen who were truly in the upper class would wear Jack-like clothes, because when Aaron came one week ago he also wore a three-layer suit like Jack and it was very common for high-class businessmen to wear it.
"It's not in vain that I paid dearly to be able to study at this campus, only here are so many successful handsome men who are ready to be the ideal husbands," Gabriella said softly.
"Yes, you are right, Gabriella, that man is really handsome. Look at his very strong jawbone, very masculine," added Violet, one of Gabriella's best friends.
"At this point Edward Cole is nothing compared to those handsome businessmen," said Rin, Violet's twin sister, chuckling.
When Gabriela and her friends were talking, Edward overheard her. He, who was holding a bottle of cola, squeezed it with emotion. Edward felt humiliated by the girls. As the campus prince, Edward felt totally losing face at this point. This was because the other students seemed to be more focused on the men who had just visited their campus.
"What a bitch! They can only see their physical appearance, even though the man there is not necessarily richer than me," said Edward full of emotion, as he drank the drink he had just bought.
"Be patient, Boss. There will be times when they will regret what they have done to you," said one of Edward's men, quietly trying to calm Edward who was mad.
"I'm so very angry right now, Bob. They really looked down on me," Edward replied fiercely, while glaring at Jack, who he thought was no more handsome than he was.
"Calm down, Boss, calm down. Don't get carried away with your emotions. Just let these female foxes laugh with satisfaction. After this event is over, I will make them cry blood and ask for your mercy, Boss," promised Bobby earnestly. As Edward's man for a long time, Bobby also felt annoyed at the students who dared to compare Edward with the figure of the newly arrived guest.
"Okay, I'll wait for that time to come, Bob. Make sure you remember all the girls' faces, I don't want any girls to be missed," Edward hissed angrily. After speaking like that, Edward then stepped off the stage. His practice hours were up, and as a professional pianist, it was very easy for him to play the role. Moreover, this event was not the first for him.
Edward left campus in his luxury car, he was very upset today because he felt humiliated by the girls on campus.
