Roxy knew he was telling the truth but laughter and the gazes of others undoubtedly trembled her avoiding her eyes landing on anybody's face trying to hide her discomfort.
Rian continued, "Roxy Stephen is my girlfriend."
Many gasped hearing her and Roxy instinctively turned around to look at him. She had thought he wanted to hide it. Rian continued, "My girlfriend is one of the top young artists in country A and she had her private gallery before joining here."
Whoever thought she knew nothing and followed Rian like a crazy one-sided lover quietened down. That didn't stop there because Rian continued, "The painting at the administration block wall is by my girlfriend which most of you admired in the morning before entering inside."
As soon as those words left, Roxy was surprised because other than the staff of the university nobody knew she was the one who painted the ten feet tall, 16 feet wide wall.
