For instance, Tiana Williams not only teaches specialized courses in quantum mechanics, astrophysics, and atomic physics, but she also has to teach physical chemistry, though the times are staggered, such as her courses in the spring term being different from those in the autumn term.
These two classes are Quantum Mechanics for juniors.
...
The weather in May and June was scorching hot, and when the last streak of light at the edge of the sky was swallowed by darkness, the entire G University campus fell into a calm silence.
After two back-to-back classes, Tiana Williams was both tired and hungry, just about to go to the faculty cafeteria to order a bowl of boiled yì noodles to eat, when before she made it to the cafeteria, her phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
Tiana Williams furrowed her brows and reached out to take out her phone and answer it.
Soon, a rapid and panicked voice came through—
"Hello... Professor Williams? It's me, Linda Cooper. Elisse seems to be in some trouble! Can you come over? We're at the Orange Night right now. Elisse was supposed to meet up with some friends here tonight, but unexpectedly ran into Berlina Holmes and Ascend's General Manager Carter, along with a group of acquaintances. They took Elisse straight inside... saying it was to discuss the new movie lead actress issue, but I think something's not right, so..."
Linda Cooper's voice was full of panic.
Linda Cooper was Elisse Gonzales' agent, but also a relative newcomer, and at this time, she lacked the experience to handle the situation and thought of Tiana Williams...
Every time Elisse Gonzales encountered trouble, Tiana Williams was able to rush over immediately, so at this time, the only person she could think to call was Tiana Williams.
"Send me the location."
Tiana Williams' brows knotted tightly, she said in a cold voice.
"Okay, okay... I'll send it to you right now!"
...
After receiving the location from Linda Cooper, Tiana Williams turned around, got back into her car, and drove directly to the Orange Night.
The Orange Night was a well-known den of luxury in S City, a famous high-end consumption area where ordinary people couldn't get in. The clientele that frequented this place were generally wealthy top movers, and the confidentiality here was very strong. However, everything operated on the principle that money talks—the more the customers spent, the better the service they received!
It was said that the Orange Night had deep connections; nobody dared to cause trouble recklessly, which was also why Linda Cooper couldn't just barge in.
Twenty minutes later, Tiana Williams' car was parked in the parking lot outside the Orange Night.
Sleekly exiting her vehicle, she walked straight inside.
Linda Cooper was waiting outside!
Young, in her thirties, with a round face, dressed in a black business suit that made her look very capable!
"Professor Williams!"
As soon as Linda Cooper saw Tiana Williams, she immediately came up to her, her face full of anxiety and concern.
"Where is she?"
Tiana Williams directly asked.
"They're inside, in booth number 8, Maxwell Perry and Berlina Holmes are there, along with Henry Carter from Ascend, CEO Gray from Ring City, and top star Killian Perez. Elisse is currently planning to vie for the lead female role in the movie 'The Youth of That Year,' which is invested in by Ring City... Maxwell Perry wants to secure it for Berlina, which is why there is a gathering tonight. Just now, Henry Carter's people arrived with aggressive momentum, and I'm worried about Elisse..."
Linda Cooper followed inside, speaking as she walked.
All these people were admirers of Berlina Holmes; Tiana nearly didn't need to think to know that the target was a ruse, and the real aim was her! This wasn't the first time!
The last time, there was a campus short play, and the designated lead actress was supposed to be Elisse Gonzales, but Maxwell Perry directly snatched it for Berlina!
At that time, Elisse Gonzales, that fool, didn't tell her. Later, she accidentally learned about it from one of Berlina's friends, and it was a warning from Maxwell Perry meant to weaken Elisse's prestige!
This time, it seems to be because of the auction, or maybe it's because she returned to the Tower Clan. Anyway, the fuse was definitely her!
The place was ablaze with excitement, the interwoven lights, the deafening heavy metal music, countless men and women immersed in dance inside the club, going wild with the lead dancer on stage, and the booths around were packed to capacity!
Tiana Williams made her way through the crowd, heading straight for the booth area.
...
Meanwhile, inside the booth.
Under the dim lighting, seated on the long sofa was Ring City's CEO, Conan Gray, tall and upright, handsome in appearance, with deep and seemingly laughing eyes that made it difficult to gauge his thoughts.
By his side were two young and beautiful girls brought by Henry Carter, who were artists from Carter's company.
But this Henry Carter had a good relationship with Maxwell Perry, and previously, he was also intricately connected with Berlina Holmes. The three of them were sitting on an adjacent sofa right now.
There was no need to speak of top star Killian Perez. With strong online fan following, both looks and acting skills on point, he was the true Film Emperor. With an extraordinary handsome appearance and an elegant demeanor, he was sitting on a short sofa nearby, a young and pretty uniformed waitress pouring him a drink.
At this moment, Elisse Gonzales was sitting next to one of the girls beside Conan Gray, looking somewhat pale.
"What's so difficult about dancing? This role includes a dance performance; what's wrong with you dancing a segment? With that attitude of yours, how are you going to compete for the role? Aren't you even going to give CEO Gray face?"
These words came from Henry Carter, spoken in an insidious tone full of malice.
Elisse's eyes darkened, staring at Carter with disdain, "The role was already mine from the audition. Since when do you, General Manager Carter, have such a huge influence that you can make decisions for CEO Gray? I said, I won't dance this pole dance. Berlina is capable of it; if you want to watch, let her dance for you! Or, if it's inconvenient, you can also go back and close the door to dance, enjoy by yourself, or even better, enjoy with Boss Perry."
Sure enough, as soon as Elisse finished speaking, the expression on Maxwell Perry's face instantly darkened, a cold look flashing towards her as he turned to Conan Gray, speaking in a chilly voice, "I hope CEO Gray will consider my proposal. This role fits Berlina best, both in terms of temperament and acting skills, she's the superior choice. If we can agree on this point, then about the cooperation..."
Listening, Conan Gray also laughed out loud, turning to Elisse Gonzales, "What do you think? Heard what Boss Perry said? Do you want to give it a try? Make me happy, and I might not replace you."
Maxwell, Henry… you don't have to do this... the role was confirmed already, it's not right for us to do this... moreover, Miss Gonzales is Tiana's good friend, and if Tiana finds out it's because of me... she will definitely be unhappy again... I'm still not over the previous ordeal, can we not make this difficult, please?"
At this moment, Berlina Holmes' pure and touching face was also filled with distress, a hint of helplessness solidifying in her eyes as she softly spoke, pulling at Maxwell Perry.
