Chapter 892: Chapter 892: Chance Encounter
The text message was simple, containing only two sentences—
"I’m going to have barbecue with Holly. Don’t come!"
Does this mean... he’s been abandoned by Summer?
Damian Knight stared at the message for a good ten seconds, finally looking up with a cold gaze sweeping across the executives seated at the table.
"Everyone, if this matter isn’t resolved properly, don’t even think about leaving after work." Damian Knight said, looking at the shocked Assistant Shelton, "Especially you, your year-end bonus is fully deducted."
With a "click", Assistant Shelton was dumbfounded.
...
Elsewhere.
After leaving the classroom, Willow Grant immediately went to find Mio Osborne to explain the situation.
"Looking at the test paper secretly?" Mio Osborne frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "That’s impossible."
Willow Grant was taken aback, and asked in astonishment, "Why is it impossible?"
Mio Osborne looked at Willow Grant and said, "Because this exam concerns the early admissions quota for Britton University, after we teachers completed the test papers, we locked them in the grade department’s safe. There’s a teacher on duty twenty-four hours there, and I’m the only one who knows the password."
"Could it be that, Summer took advantage while the teacher on duty went to eat or use the restroom, and secretly found someone to decipher the password?"
"That’s impossible." Mio Osborne firmly said, "Before the test papers were put in, they were all sealed with tape. Once someone opened them, there would definitely be traces left. But when we took the papers out, the seals were completely intact. So it’s absolutely impossible for anyone to have tampered with the test papers."
Although Mio Osborne felt great dislike and annoyance toward Summer, he was sure that the well-preserved papers were never seen by her.
This concerns his competence, and he can’t allow personal desires to interfere.
Willow never expected that Summer really hadn’t looked at the test papers in advance.
Thus, the only possibility for Summer knowing questions on quantum mechanics is that Summer’s guesses are remarkably accurate.
To know, guessing questions accurately is usually something only a teacher could do.
Who exactly is Summer? Why is her ability so strong?
Willow recalled Summer casually saying, "Because I’m excellent."
Her expression instantly turned extremely sour.
"Alright." Mio Osborne observed the expressions on Willow Grant’s face and started consoling, "It’s been hard to finish the exam, don’t think too much. Don’t idle over the weekend, I’ll send you two sets of papers Britton University used in the previous admissions. Complete them earnestly, and prep calmly for Britton University."
Willow Grant bit her lower lip and nodded.
As she couldn’t humiliate Summer using the test papers, now she could only try hard to get into Britton University, to spite Summer.
After all, Summer, who missed one subject exam, couldn’t possibly score higher than her.
Willow lowered her head and walked out of Mio Osborne’s office, deeply regretting her forthrightness.
Fall for so many of Summer’s traps, she should’ve held back a bit more.
...
At the Japanese barbecue restaurant.
Even though Holly managed to make a reservation at this difficult-to-book barbecue restaurant, she couldn’t get a private room; they could only sit in the crowded main hall.
"I’m sorry..." Holly held her peach oolong tea, feeling dejected, "I seem to do nothing well, always making things difficult for you."
Summer smiled lightly and said, "Nothing about making things difficult. Can white turn into black? Willow is never going to succeed in slandering me with this dirty water. Maybe she’s regretting saying such things to me in the classroom now. Besides, having barbecue lively like this is the best."
Holly forced a smile, silently resolving that such things must not drag Summer down in the future.
At this moment, a somewhat uncertain voice sounded behind Summer—
"Miss Monroe?"
