Iris was excelling in nearly every aspect of the BBPS program, impressing everyone around her.
After finishing a communication training workshop, Daniel struck up a conversation with Iris.
"Iris, I was really impressed with your presentation today. It's great to see you doing so well."
Iris blushed at Daniel's compliment but quickly expressed her gratitude.
"It's all thanks to your excellent guidance, Professor. I want to learn even more moving forward."
However, Daniel's attention and gaze began to feel like pressure to Iris. She was also puzzled when he occasionally called her Adele.
"Professor, you called me Adele again today. Is there a reason for that?"
Daniel looked startled and met her gaze.
"Oh! I did it again... I'm sorry, Iris."
"Adele was a very special person to me. Every time I see you, I'm reminded of her, and I must have unconsciously called you by her name."
Iris smiled lightly in response.
"I see. Do I really resemble this Adele that much?"
"Yes, you look very much alike. That's why I must have made the mistake. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Knowing you had a reason makes it understandable."
"Thank you, Iris. I'll be more careful from now on."
"Not at all! I'm curious about what kind of person this Adele was."
After their conversation ended, Iris suddenly recalled Daniel's words when they first met in the café.
It seemed he had confused her with someone named Adele from the start. A curiosity about Adele began to blossom within Iris.
Meanwhile, as Daniel's fascination with Iris grew, so did his longing for Adele, leaving him feeling guilty about his feelings for Iris.
