“I won’t study economics,” Amelia Cobb stated with a bland expression.
Even though everyone already knew about her engagement to Christopher Robinson, she was still not hiding her dislike for him.
“I forgot, I’m sorry,” Abner Rodriguez said with an apologetic tone.
But Amelia didn’t want to understand his apology.
She stopped and looked at Abner, “We’ve been the subject of rumors, haven’t we?”
Abner was stunned, “Yes.”
“Then you better stay away from me!
I don’t want to be hurt by rumors anymore.” Amelia didn’t care for any advice about not minding other people’s opinions.
Even if she could truly not care, the troubles brought by those rumors were unavoidable.
After saying that, Amelia turned to leave, but Abner grabbed her arm to stop her.
“I said those things before because I wanted to protect you,” the boy said urgently, his face filled with a hint of tension, as if he were afraid of affecting their relationship.
Such a lovely scene with a young handsome boy and a beautiful girl!
However, Juliet Walker felt that the scene was too beautiful – he dare not even look.
President Robinson was supposed to deliver a lecture at Capital University tomorrow, and he was supposed to check the venue in advance, but because he did not have time, the task fell on Juliet.
Coincidentally, the main characters did not change, and they were still caught up in their tug of war.
Amelia watched car number 03456 flash and pass by, took a deep sigh, and then looked at Abner, “Let go of me first.”
“If we’re seen pulling and tugging like this, we’ll have to spend a lot of time explaining again.”
“I’m sorry,” Abner quickly pulled back his hand.
As the two walked side by side, there were always people pointing and whispering.
Some even took out their phones to take pictures and posted them in the school forum.
Amelia knew without looking that the comments would not be nice.
“What’s your major?”
“What?” Abner was taken aback by Amelia’s question.
What major?
Didn’t she know?
“What’s your major,” Amelia repeated the question.
“I…Law.”
“Oh……,” Amelia responded and said nothing more.
“Amelia,” As Amelia and Abner walked down the Tree-lined Avenue, someone suddenly called out to stop them.
She turned her head to look.
It was Jason Wood, standing there as if he had been waiting for her.
“You called me?” Amelia looked puzzled.
“Yes,” Jason responded in a relaxed tone and nodded.
“I left my textbook in the office, could you fetch it for me?”
“Of course,” Amelia agreed happily.
She was just worrying about not having an opportunity to see Jason, and this request was just like a gift.
Jason nodded slowly, his tone mild, “Thank you then.
Room 2013, in Building 2, just ask when you get there.”
Without a second thought, Amelia turned around and left.
Jason had always been living in the university’s Residential Building for many years, and the office was just a place where he occasionally worked.
He mentioned a few years ago that he didn’t need an office, but the school leaders thought that he had trained and produced many outstanding students and should at least have a place to receive guests, so they allocated an office to him.
Amelia was very familiar with this route.
As a matter of fact, she was thoroughly acquainted with it.
But today when she went in, she happened to meet someone coming out of the neighboring Principal’s office.
The two bumped into each other.
As Juliet opened his mouth to say something, Amelia glanced at him with an air of superiority before turning around and leaving.
She behaved as if she had just seen something disgusting.
This left Juliet sinking into deep self-doubt.
Amelia ran into the office quickly and also ran out just as fast.
Her hurried pace left Juliet dumbfounded.
In the large classroom, Jason had already begun his class, casually chatting with his students.
When he saw that Amelia had brought the textbook, he extended his hand to take it and thanked her.
During this class, Amelia wasn’t paying attention.
Her thoughts were not on the lecture.
At that moment, she was thinking of how to have a casual encounter with Jason.
Or rather, how she could visit him and walk the path she hadn’t finished in her previous life.
“Amelia, please come up and help answer some questions for the class.”
“What?” Amelia, who was suddenly called upon, stood up abruptly and looked at the podium.
Jason was very mild, he didn’t criticize her for not paying attention in class.
On the contrary, he looked at the blackboard, smiled and repeated the question, “What is the highest virtue of a statesman?”
Amelia looked at Jason and said slowly, “Prudence.”
“Where did this quote come from?”
“It’s from ‘Peace and War: International Relations Theory’.”
The Q&A between the two was nearly iconic.
“Has Amelia read this book?”
Amelia nodded, “I have.”
“After the last class, I did some research on you and found out that your main major is Art.
You came to university by taking an art examination.
Why did you suddenly become interested in international relations?”
It seemed that Jason had a lot of questions about Amelia.
And these questions could only be answered by her.
Perhaps fearing that Amelia wouldn’t answer in private, he decided to ask her directly in front of the whole class.
“Because I want to be a real realist, not an ant lost in the fog.
I want to see the clearest sun, not a moon veiled in beautiful gauze.
I want to understand how strong a storm can be, not just to see the rainbow after the storm.”
International Negotiator, is someone who faces all these things head on.
They are the ones who see the world through the bloody reality.
The aura Amelia projected left the classroom silent.
Her calm voice, even with punctuation, gave people a strong sense of conviction.
However, upon hearing Amelia’s answer, there was a moment of disappointment in Jason’s eyes.
But after his disappointment, was a raft of complications.
The silence lasted too long.
It was so long that Jason just nodded his head, asked her to sit down.
And nothing else.
Amelia could only feel a sense of unease.
In her past life, she was already taken under Jason’s wing after the first task.
But today, the second task was over.
It was not yet.
And the class was over.
Amelia started packing her things to leave.
She was stopped by Sophia Cobb, who had rushed over after hearing the news.
In the large classroom, seeing that most of the students had already left, Sophia stood in the first row looking at Amelia in the last row.
“When did you become interested in international relations?
Are you really Amelia?”
Sophia’s words made some people who were ready to leave stop to watch the drama.
Amelia did not pause her packing, she had a slight smile, “If I’m not Amelia, then I must be your mother?”
“You——————.”
“I’m talking to you in a proper manner, there’s no need to take it so seriously?”
Amelia finished packing her things, stood up with her bag in hand, and stared at Sophia, “It’s really pitiful.
You’ve lived for twenty-something years and still don’t know what decent conversation means.
Should your mother send you back to kindergarten to start your education all over again?”
