Female Novel
Chapter 68
Douglas arrived at the driving school half an hour later in a taxi.
When he got closer, I could see the flush on his fair skin.
Lilian and I also smelled the faint scent of alcohol on him.
He whispered while looking at us caringly, “I had a sudden appointment. Did you guys wait for long?”
I'd already explained to him why I wouldn't be attending the party on the phone—it was the same excuse I used on Lilian. But Douglas was still worried and wanted to come over anyway.
I didn’t know that he had come over from a drinking session and felt embarrassed. “I should be the one to apologize. Did I ruin your gathering?”
But Douglas didn’t answer me and Lilian replied instead, “You’re too kind. Have you forgotten who he is? It’s our kindest and sweetest class representative. I bet he’s dying for you to find him.”
“Stop fooling around.”
Lilian shrugged. “Oops. My dad’s calling me home for dinner. Since you’re here, please help teach Nancy how to drive.”
Lilian left as she spoke, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared from our line of vision.
Douglas explained, “Her father is the best driving instructor here.”
I understood immediately.
After all, there was no way normal citizens like us could get access to such a big training area.
Douglas then redirected the conversation back to me. “Let’s talk about you, Nancy. Stack will also be attending tomorrow’s party.
“Their company has set their sights on the domestic market. So, he’s specially coming with his company’s person in charge to look around. It’s a rare opportunity.”
My hope that had been extinguished suddenly flickered back to life by Douglas’ words.
Observing my silence, Douglas asked again, “Didn’t you always idolize him? Don’t you want to meet him?”
I was a bit shocked. “How did you know that?”
Douglas smiled. “I know a lot more than that.”
I suddenly didn’t know what to say. Then, I heard him say, “Everyone knows how talented you are. Go and meet him. You can’t just stay down and feel defeated because he rejected you, right?”novelbin
“He rejected me?” I was confused.
Douglas glanced at me. “I’m sorry. I happened to see your application to study abroad at the counselor’s office.
“How should I put it? The competition at Jadara University’s software engineering program is always fierce. Not to mention, Stack is one of the top engineers in the world. It’s just normal that you failed.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
When I heard Douglas talking about traveling abroad, my mind seemed to have exploded, and I stood there stunned.
I thought not many people knew about this.
Then, memories from the past flooded my mind, and I couldn’t help but think of the Jadara University acceptance letter that I had secretly torn up. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
At that time, Stack was the lecturer in charge.
I guessed Douglas thought that I had been rejected.
When I recalled this memory, I also felt the anger and unwillingness behind it.
I whispered, “Do you still have slots?”
I had to admit, I was wavering.
Upon hearing this, Douglas grinned. “Of course. I’m happy you made this choice.”
He was so emotional that he reached out for a hug. In fact, he seemed to be more passionate than his usual gentle demeanor.
I thought he wanted to motivate me, so I reached out my hand. “Douglas, thank you.”
After chatting for a while, I suggested sending him back.
After glancing at the BMW identical to his, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“It’s a company benefit. Ms. Whittaker chose it.” I felt a bit awkward.
Douglas raised his eyebrows and grinned. “She has good taste.”
An hour later, I sent Douglas back to a hostel near the university town.
Then, Douglas stood before the car and pointed at the building. “You know where I live now, so come over when you have time.”
“Okay.”
“Kayson and Lilian also come back occasionally to have a meal. I’m pretty good at cooking, you know,” Douglas patiently explained. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
