The morning atmosphere at the UAL campus looked a little different this morning, lots of luxury cars filled the parking area. Anne, who woke up late, seemed to have trouble finding a parking space. Fortunately, her car was a sedan that did not take up much space. She could still find a place at the very end of the parking area, it was rarely used by students because it was far from the exit. After parking the car safely, Anne got out of her car and walked to her classroom, carrying two heavy bags in both hands.
"Why the campus is so crowded today? Is there any special occasion I was not aware of?" muttered Anne softly as she stared at the field full of people.
Anne had stopped her footsteps for a few moments. But she finally continued her steps towards the classroom because the first lesson was about to start. Anne then ran off the field to her classroom.
Unbeknownst to Anne, there was a Roll-Royce Phantom Drophead parking nicely not far from the field, Aaron slowly lowered his sunglasses from his sharp nose with a smile on his face. He did not want to get off the car because he wanted to wait for Anne's arrival. He decided to come to UAL earlier than the previous schedule after receiving news from Daniel who sent Anne's personal data to him last night. He made a quick decision the seconds he had confirmed that Anne was a student at UAL who majored in Fashion designer. He decided to come to the art campus alone without being escorted by bodyguards or Daniel who had not even woken up.
"Finally, I've found you, Anne," Aaron muttered softly, his chest which previously felt very tight was now a bit relieved when he saw with his own eyes the figure of the woman he had been looking for in the last three months.
Tring
Aaron's smartphone which he placed on the dashboard of his expensive car received a message, he quickly grabbed his cellphone and read the incoming message. After reading the message sent by Daniel, shortly afterward Aaron drove his favorite car leaving the campus area. He had achieved his goal to see Anne at the campus so he decided to go to the office first to finish some important things before returning to UAL in the afternoon. He was planning to give a talk related to his company's cooperation program with UAL especially for the graphic design department in which he asked them to design a new logo for his company.
When Anne arrived in her classroom, almost all of her classmates had taken a seat in the classroom, including Linda who was already sitting in her chair next to an empty chair. She already saved a seat for Anne just like she usually did when Anne was late to come to the class.
"Anne! Hurry up!! I've saved you a seat," Linda shrieked loudly as she waved her hand at Anne, who was still standing at the entrance.
"Yes," said Anne loudly as she walked over to her chair.
When Anne was about to sit on the chair, a fierce lecturer named Mrs. Martha entered the class. She was a lecturer who did not hesitate to give bad grades to her students when the students did not submit assignments. That was why Anne decided to go home instead of getting yelled at by the fiercest lecturer in the Fashion designer department at UAL since her assignments were ruined by Edward's men who purposely hit her so all of her work fell into the water. The students submitted their assignments one by one by immediately walking in front of the class including Anne. Mrs. Marta could have asked one of the students to submit her colleagues' assignments before handing them over to her, but Mrs. Martha would prefer that her students walked forward by themselves and submitted their assignments. This was because Mrs. Martha wanted to know each face of her students.
"Before starting the lesson, I want to apologize for not being able to come in yesterday, there were some important things I have to take care of. That's why I reschedule the class and ask all of you to study on your own and now we will continue with our last meeting lesson. Open your manuals and prepare your tools," said Mrs. Martha quietly while opening the lesson.
"Yes ma'am," said all the students in unison.
Shortly thereafter, the class was quiet again when Mrs. Martha started the lesson. No one knew that the real reason for Mrs. Martha's absence yesterday was because of Edward. He asked his housekeeper to contact Mrs. Martha, who was a famous designer in London, to come to her house to meet Edward's mother named Lisa Cole. He asked his housekeeper to tell her that Lisa was having trouble finding the latest clothes for the winter season. As a socialite who was very busy with her various social activities, Mrs. Lisa needed lots of nice up-to-date clothes, she did not want to waste the opportunity when she found out that one of her favorite designers had come to her house. She asked for lots of clothes from Mrs. Martha and the request was immediately approved by Mrs. Martha. She got super busy that she finally canceled her teaching schedule at the UAL campus. Edward did this for a very specific reason. He felt guilty for Anne after seeing the sad expression on Anne's face when one of his subordinates ruined her task. That was why he made such a plan so that Mrs. Martha would not come to campus and the plan was successfully executed.
Two hours later, Mrs. Martha's class finally ended, the tense and cold atmospheres in the classroom during the lesson were gone immediately. All students including Anne and Linda seemed happy after Mrs. Marta left the room as they can free themselves from the intense teaching session. The entire students tried so hard to not make any single sounds since the beginning of the lesson. It was forbidden for students to speak in Mrs. Martha's class unless she asked them to. That was why the title of the most Killer lecturer was well suited for Mrs. Martha.
"I almost forgot," shrieked Anne loudly.
"What? What's up?" Linda asked in surprise, she was tidying her textbook when she was surprised to hear Anne's scream. Anne suddenly got up from her chair.
"Bank ... I have to go to the bank now, Linda," said Anne quickly.
"Do you want to go, now?" Linda asked back to Anne who seemed to be tidying her books in a hurry.
"Yes," replied Anne briefly, carrying her bag quickly.
"If you go now, that means you won't attend the Connary Corp seminar," Linda said confusedly.
"I don't really like meeting people like them, Linda, you can just go. I have more important business. See you tomorrow, Linda ... Goodbye," said Anne loudly as she ran to the exit leaving Linda alone, she kept running towards the parking area which was getting fuller.
Edward, who had just come out of his classroom, seemed to squint his eyes when he saw Anne running in a hurry, but his girlfriend named Sarah suddenly clung to his arm when he was about to ask his men about Anne.
"I'm hungry, Edward," whispered the spoiled Sarah.
"Ok, let's go to the canteen," said Edward quickly as he continued to stare at Anne's car slowly leaving the campus.
