When Charlotte slowly came to the place where she had agreed to meet Terry, Terry was already waiting there.
Charlotte was so late. Terry was afraid that something would happen because of the post, so he smoked in frustration.
“Charlotte, you’re finally here.” The moment he saw Charlotte, Terry was relieved.
“You stink,” Charlotte pinched her nose and said.
“I won’t smoke anymore. I was worried that you would be angry and not come,” Terry stuttered as he explained.
“Why wouldn’t I come?” Charlotte tilted her head and pretended not to understand.
“Have you seen the post on the campus website?” Terry said in a low voice.
“What’s going on between you and Lisa?” Charlotte secretly turned on the recorder on her phone.
“It had nothing to do with me. It was Lisa’s fault. She shamelessly seduced me. She drugged me, and I thought of her as you.” Terry freed himself completely from the responsibility.
“Do you like her?” Charlotte asked.
“Of course not. I only like you.” Terry looked at Charlotte affectionately.
“But you two slept together. You have to be responsible for that,” Charlotte sighed.
“It was not her first time. She isn’t pure enough for me.” Terry’s words were extremely vicious, and his eyes were filled with disgust.
“Tero, I trust you. You should be the clearest about my feelings for you. I can’t immediately say that I am okay with what happened. I need some time.” Charlotte tenderly looked at Terry and gently stroked his arm.
“I understand, Charlotte. As long as you trust me, I will wait for you.” Terry excitedly grabbed Charlotte’s hand.
“I still have something to do. I have to go.” After comforting Terry, Charlotte found an excuse to leave.
“Charlotte, call me if you need anything. I will wait for you to forgive me.” Terry still looked affectionate.
Anyway, as long as Charlotte believed him, he would have a chance..
After walking out of Terry’s sight, Charlotte quickly took out a wet towel and wiped the place where it was touched by Terry as if there were bacteria.
“Marcus, I’m very happy that you came back to give a speech today.” The principal of Oldburn University was once Marcus‘
teacher.
“I’m just doing a favor for our school.” In front of his teacher, Marcus was respectful.
“Mariah knows about the process. I’ll let her tell you later,” the principal said, telling Marcus about the speech stuff. “Okay.” Marcus‘ answer was still concise.
“I know that you like being alone. I’ll go prepare. You and Mariah can take your time,” the principal said with a smile. “Alright.”
“Marcus, I miss the time when we were in school.” Mariah’s voice was tender.
Marcus didn’t respond. Mariah raised her head and found that Marcus was looking in a direction thoughtfully.
Mariah followed his gaze, seeing the back of a girl, who threw a wet towel into the trash can from afar.

For a moment, Mariah found the girl familiar.
But she didn’t notice anything special.
Jalen looked at his boss and guessed it was Charlotte.
“Marcus?” Mariah called out again.
“Let’s go.” Marcus never cared much about other people. After Charlotte left, he turned around and walked slowly to the venue.
Returning to the dormitory, Charlotte went to tell Natalia that she was okay.
However, Natalia didn’t care much about that. Instead of asking Charlotte about the situation, Natalia said secretly.
“Charlotte, are you going to listen to the speech today?”
“I’m not going. It’s so mysterious. We don’t even know who the guest is.”
“According to reliable internal news, it is Marcus Gallegos, the person in charge of the Gallegos Group!”
J’So what? Why are you so excited?” Before finishing her words, Charlotte jumped up from her chair.
“Who is the guest?”
“Marcus.” Seeing how excited Charlotte was, Natalia calmed down instead.
“Go. We must go. Hurry up!” Charlotte did not give Natalia a chance to speak. She pulled Natalia and ran to the venue.
“Charlotte, didn’t you say you weren’t going?”
“No one can stop me from going there. Hurry up. The seats will be taken,” Charlotte urged as she ran.
“I know. I know.” Natalia followed Charlotte, breathing heavily.
As expected, the entrance to the venue was completely blocked.
Charlotte was anxious at the door and didn’t know how to get in.
Marcus showed up.
It caused a stir among the crowd.
Marcus‘ black hair was shiny in the sunlight. His tall figure naturally exuded the pressure of a superior, and his steps were leisurely.
The students pushed each other and tried to get closer to Marcus, but they did not dare to get too close.
“Mr. Gallegos, you’re so handsome!”
“Mr. Gallegos, you’re my idol!”
“Mr. Gallegos, I like you!”
Shouts broke out in the crowd.
Charlotte called Marcus‘ name, but it was completely covered by the crowd’s shouts.
Someone found that Marcus stopped and was looking for something in the crowd. But it was only a few seconds. Marcus said something to Jalen and entered the door of the speech hall.

Jalen received Marcus‘ order and squeezed his way among the crowd to Charlotte. “Ms. Dennis, come with me.”
Charlotte looked at Jalen in front of her and opened her eyes wide. “How did you find me among so many people?”
“I couldn’t find you. It wasn’t me. It was Mr. Gallegos,” Jalen shrugged and explained.

Charlotte was happy and thought, “Does it mean that he found me among all these people at a glance? It was so romantic.
When will Marcus fall in love with me?” Charlotte was more and more looking forward to it.
“Who is this?” Natalia grabbed Charlotte’s sleeve, a little nervous.
“Let’s talk about it later. Let’s go. It will start soon.” Charlotte pulled Natalia along.
Charlotte and Natalia followed Jalen into the hall. Except for the first row, all the seats in the hall were occupied. Charlotte and Natalia were arranged there, and Mariah happened to be next to them.
“Hi, Ms. Gallegos. You came.” Mariah had a friendly smile on her face.
In her previous life, Charlotte was deceived by Mariah’s appearance. In fact, Mariah was the most ruthless person.
“Hi, Ms. Todd. You’re here too.” Charlotte’s tone wasn’t very friendly.
“I came with Marcus,” Mariah said in a superior manner.
“I see. Marcus let Jalen take me in.” Charlotte wouldn’t yield..
Mariah’s smile froze.
