Lilia was watching the basketball match from a distance. Seeing the youths playing so passionately made her feel a little jealous. When she was a student, she spent most of her time as a model, so she did not have the time to enjoy her youth.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Lilia?"
Lilia heard someone ask from behind her. Inside, she regretted forgetting to wear her sunglasses. Harold had repeatedly emphasized that Lilia should not attract attention in the public, but it seemed she was still being careless. The woman sighed and turned around.
"Yes, right. You…" Lilia started to speak, but her words stopped when she saw the other person.
The person who summoned her was a tall man, even taller than Daniel. He was wearing a lecturer's uniform and black pants, with a stack of thick folders that covered his arms. The black-edged glasses he wore made the young man look smart and highly educated.
"Sorry, who are you?" Lilia hurriedly corrected her words.
The man smiled kindly, "My name is Alfred Ricardo, Daniel's trustee lecturer."
"Ah, nice to meet you, Mr. Alfred. I am Daniel's older sister, Lilia Pangestu." Lilia bowed as she introduced herself to the young lecturer.
To Lilia's surprise, Alfred laughed, "There is no one in Daniel's class or even in the entire Multimedia Engineering Faculty who doesn't know about you. Daniel always prides himself on his sister as a famous model."
Hearing that, Lilia became even more embarrassed, "My younger brother has always been a bit arrogant, maybe because he is spoiled too often. Please forgive his behavior."
Alfred shook his head and told Lilia that Daniel was a good student. The man then glanced at the pile of folders he was carrying, "Miss Lilia, did you come today because of the trouble Daniel caused?"
Lilia suddenly had a bad feeling about this. She remembered Daniel's strange attitude and suspected that it was related to what she just heard, "What problem do you mean?" She asked.
The young lecturer sighed and showed one of the folders in his hand. The writing "The Daniel Pangestu Case" on the folder left Lilia at a loss for words.
"Looks like Daniel hasn't told his family about this. Is Miss Lilia willing to help him with this problem? It's okay if you object, I can ask your parents to come." Alfred asked.
"Ah… at this time, our parents…" Lilia started to explain.
When the two of them were talking with a serious face, Daniel stole glances at them during his play. As a result, the ball in his hand was easily captured by the opposing team.
"Captain, what are you doing?! Do you want our opponent to win?!" One of Daniel's team members protested.
"I have other business, so I have to go now!"
Daniel tried to escape from his basketball practice, but all of his team members blocked him and thwarted the young man's efforts. He could only see his sister leaving with Alfred.
*****
When Lilia finished reading the contents of the folder in Alfred's office, her expression was as cold as ice. She wondered if her brother had spent his time wisely getting into this prestigious university. No wonder Daniel was acting so suspicious. If Lilia didn't meet Alfred today, maybe her little brother wouldn't tell anyone.
Lilia sighed and closed the folder.
Alfred started talking, "Miss Lilia, it happened exactly as you have read. This case greatly affected the reputation of our university. While the university does not prohibit students from forming relationships, this case has crossed the line. The student's parents came to campus and claimed that Daniel impregnated their daughter while the student was drunk."
Hearing that, Lilia regretted the parenting style of her parents who spoiled Daniel too much. Especially her mother, who never scolded her younger sibling even once. See what it did to him now.
Alfred continued, "If this case is not handled properly, the worst possibility is that the police would also be involved. If the name of the university is tarnished by this incident, the university will not hesitate to expel Daniel. As his guardian lecturer, I don't want that to happen."
"Excuse me!" Daniel opened the door to Alfred's room without knocking first. He was breathless and drenched in sweat, as if he had run here without resting after his basketball practice was over.
Daniel walked over to Lilia and jumped backwards when he saw the cold expression on his sister's face. He knew it meant he was in very deep trouble.
"Sis, please listen to me first ..." Daniel tried to persuade her.
Alfred took this opportunity to get up from his chair, "I'll get Daniel a drink. You can first talk about this matter as a family." He said before leaving.
