Chapter 326 - Rich People Are Weird
Sienna knew that the male lead and the female lead were destined to be together but… she didn't know that they would actually meet just minutes after they arrived at the university!
Isn't this amazing?
Fate is really mysterious!
"Are you going to apologize?" Grant asked the woman.
"I—? You didn't tell me you were the guest."
"You didn't ask."
"I did but you didn't say anything."
Before Grant could argue, the woman already apologized. "Sorry," she said. "In the past, someone had been sabotaging the wires. I thought it was you."
"Sabotaging?"
"I have evidence but I lost it."
"So you saw the person at the back stage?" he asked and she nodded in response. "Then… you knew who it was?"
"You have the same frame. He was wearing a mask."
Grant furrowed his brows. "I can design something to— "
"I already did. But it's not working."
Now this is interesting, Sienna thought inwardly. Still, she continued to listen.
"You created a software? Aren't you someone who— "
"Oh… Sorry Mr. Rouse, I failed to introduce the two of you." Luckily, the director of the university finally decided to say something. "This is our stop student. Miss Amanda Bane. She is already taking her master's degree and would finish it this year. She is… well… working for the university. She does various jobs."
"Jobs?"
"Fixing." Amanda answered proudly. "From cars to air-conditioner to phones and sound system. I can fix anything."
"You fix cars too?" Grant asked, surprise apparent in his face. It seems that he had forgotten that his elder sister was standing next to him. "So you create softwares too?"
"I am studying computer science." Amanda answered. "Anyway… I have already wasted everyone's time. Headmaster, I still needed to make sure that everything is good for later. Miss Rouse, I apologize for what happened earlier." Amanda smiled at Sienna. "I really hope this won't affect the software that I will present later."
Straightforward, honest and proud.
This Amanda was also beautiful and smart!
Isn't she just the perfect female lead? Sienna nodded and watch as Amanda left the room.
"Ah… why are you following me?" Amanda asked when she saw Grant walking behind her.
"I wanna see …"
"See what?"
"Your job."
She snorted. "Is this some hobby of the rich? Watching other people do their job?"
"You are odd."
Amanda stopped walking. She turned towards him. "What?"
"You are small and fragile and yet you fix… cars."
"Are you looking down on women?"
Grant didn't say anything. He already knew that he said the wrong thing.
"Are you?"
"Don't misunderstand." Grant sighed. To be honest, Amanda's straightforward attitude was a little weird even for him. However, he also found it… refreshing.
Grant grew up in an environment where people get punished if they say or do the wrong thing.? He always knew that his family was odd, bizarre— scary even. It was scary enough to give him nightmares when he was younger.
Because of this peculiar environment, he grew up a little cold. Just like his sister. They talked but not really talk to each other. Did that sound weird?
It was.
And it was because they grew up that way.
His sister grew up doing everything to make their father proud. She was smart, beautiful, and ruthless. She was exactly just like their father. At that time, Grant found it weird.? Why would someone act like Sienna— like a perfect doll?
Slowly, he understood her reasoning.
Still, this isn't the time to talk about his sister. It was the time to talk to this weird woman in front of him. "I have never seen a woman fix a car," he added. While Sienna was brilliant, he never saw her fix anything that did not involve their family business. A broken phone means, she needed to buy a new one. A broken car, means she isn't buying the same brand ever again.
Grant knew that her sister was just too busy to deal with these things. After all, she was carrying the livelihood of thousands of people. Sitting around, worrying about a broken phone is already considered a luxury in her busy schedule.
Amanda lifted an eyebrow. "You are weird."
"So are you."
"Leave me alone." Amanda turned towards the hall. "Stop following me!"
"I just want to talk about the program that you created. The one that could detect the person ruining the wires?"
"You wanted to buy it?" she asked.
"No."
"Then leave me alone."
"I'm buying it." Grant said without batting an eyelid. Even he didn't understand why he said those words.
"You are buying it?"
"Yes. Name a price. I can give you a blank check and— "
"Whoa— Whoa— "Amanda raised her palm in front of his face. "I just told you it didn't work. Why buy it?"
"You didn't want to show it to me. So I am buying it."
"…" Amanda looked at him in disbelief. "Rich people are really weird."
"So, are you showing it to me?" he asked. She reluctantly nodded her head and murmured something he didn't hear.
"Follow me."
"Alright."
Meanwhile, Sienna was talking to the director when her secretary informed her that Scarlette was spotted at the cafe outside of C University. She was alone and it looked like she was waiting for someone.
"Don't let her inside." Sienna instructed. "Do whatever it takes to keep her out."
"Yes, miss." Jane nodded.
Seeing Jane leave, Sienna turned her smiling face towards the director. "Anyway, Mr. Suico, I am really interested in Miss Bane's softwares. However, I didn't hear anything about her in the industry. May I know why the C University didn't do anything to support her projects?"
"Ah?"
"I mean… she is a genius. She could fix things and create softwares for the school. Yet, I have never heard of her." Sienna said. Of course, she already knew the answer to this question. It was because, the director had some sort of special relationship with Scarlette.
Right now, she wasn't able to gather anything about the two but she was certain that this man had something to do with the things that Miss Bane had to endure in this school.
