Sean was momentarily stunned before he chuckled at Charles. "What's this? You actually seem concerned about my education?"Charles shot him a look of disdain, then lowered his gaze, idly tapping his long fingers against his phone. "Didn't you already finish all your coursework? Why are you still hanging around?""Unlike you, I didn't find skipping grades amusing. I'm a model student!"Charles scoffed at that but did not bother arguing. "Since you've already bought the hospital, stay there and focus on it. Stop running around.""I came to talk to you about medical equipment, and here you are nagging like an old lady. You're starting to sound just like my grandmother!" Sean muttered, though, in the end, he still nodded."Relax, it's just for now. After these next two years, I won't have to go back to the university anymore. You think I enjoy staying there? It's those professors who won't let me go."Now, about the equipment—are you selling it to me or not? I'm offering way above ma

Hence, when Tania brought Liliana home, Christian was welcoming and hospitable, but Yasmin's temper flared immediately. The moment she saw Tania walk in with Liliana, she did not hold back and threw insults not just at Tania but at Liliana as well.Liliana, however, did not take them to heart. She had heard far worse before, so Yasmin's words barely registered.Tania, on the other hand, was not as tolerant. Seeing her best friend being insulted, she stormed into the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and charged toward Yasmin, ready to fight.Liliana was alarmed and quickly dragged Tania out of the house, running as fast as they could.It was not that Liliana was afraid of Yasmin; she was afraid that Tania might actually stab Yasmin.Why would she think that? It was because back in school, she had already witnessed Tania's fearless temperament firsthand.After running a good distance from the Fischer residence, both girls stopped and started gasping for breath. Liliana, who was still hold

Tania noticed that although Liliana's expression darkened slightly, she did not show any extreme reaction. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief."Liliana, let's go buy some clothes. We're about to start university, and honestly, our outfits still make us look like high school kids!"Liliana chuckled and nodded. "You're right. We still look like underage kids!"She reached out and playfully poked Tania.Tania gasped and immediately retaliated, reaching out to grab Liliana. Seeing this, Liliana spun around and bolted, laughing as she ran."Liliana! Don't run! Just wait until I catch you!" Tania yelled, chasing after her."Come on, then! Try and catch me!" Liliana stuck out her tongue, making a playful face at Tania, which only made Tania stomp her foot in frustration."Liliana! Just wait until I get you! How dare you mess with me? You're dead!"On the second floor of the World Trade Plaza, two young girls were dashing through the shopping area, laughing and teasing each oth

Joanna gazed at Sean with near obsession. No one knew just how much she adored this man.She was well aware that many students at the university admired Sean, all hoping to get close to him. Yet to this day, not a single person had truly established a connection with him. The only one consistently by his side was her. That was enough for her."Pick a model kit you like."Sean gestured toward the two model kits in front of them, but after waiting a while without receiving a response, he frowned slightly. When his gaze landed on Joanna's infatuated expression, an inexplicable sense of impatience surged within him. His tone turned sharp with irritation.Joanna was startled by his sudden change in demeanor. She looked at Sean with a hint of grievance.She was already petite, and in her delicate, ladylike dress, she appeared even more fragile next to him. Now, with her lips slightly pursed in a pitiful manner, she looked as if she could melt anyone's heart.Meanwhile, Liliana and Tani

Was it because Sean had sensed the admiration in her eyes? Did he dislike her so much that he left without a word?"Sean, wait for me!"Joanna set down the model kit and ran after him, but in such a massive shopping mall, there was no trace of Sean anywhere.Sean had followed Liliana and Tania downstairs. He did not know Tania, but he would recognize Liliana anywhere.His strides were long and determined. Liliana, as if sensing something, quickly grabbed Tania's hand and pulled her toward the exit. As soon as they stepped outside, she hastily flagged down a cab. The moment the car door shut, they disappeared from Sean's sight.Tania was bewildered by Liliana's sudden urgency. She noticed Liliana's face had turned pale and looked at her with concern. "Liliana, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"After all, just earlier, they had taken the bus because Liliana had insisted on saving money and avoiding unnecessary expenses.Yet now, Liliana had not only hailed a cab but ha

By the time Sean rushed outside, Liliana and Tania were already gone. He scanned his surroundings with sharp, brooding eyes, but there was no trace of her anywhere.Joanna had also run out after him. Seeing Sean standing in the plaza, seemingly searching for something, she hurried over. "Sean, are you looking for someone? Do you need my help?"She maintained her usual graceful demeanor, and despite the urgency with which she had come down, she still carried herself with the poise of a refined lady.Sean glanced at Joanna, and there was a flicker of impatience flashing across his face, though he quickly concealed it. Turning to her, he said, "Ms. Jacquet, I just remembered that I have some matters to attend to. I won't be able to continue shopping with you.""But Sean…" Joanna bit her lip, looking at him hesitantly. "Is it something important? What about Darek…"Sean frowned slightly but, recalling the sick little boy, he eventually nodded. "I'll be there tonight as promised."Hea

Given Sean's status and influence, he had no real reason to attend the freshman orientation. However, Joanna, who was the vice president of the student council, had taken charge of organizing the entire event.She had extended an invitation to Sean, though without much expectation. Based on his usual attitude, it seemed highly unlikely that he would agree.However, because she was so close to him—and since most students at Vista University assumed she was his girlfriend—no one questioned her connection to him.When the student council president suggested that having Sean participate in the orientation would be the most exciting event at Vista University, Joanna felt both honored and eager. She immediately went to ask Sean, fully expecting him to decline. Yet to her surprise, he agreed without hesitation.Under the scorching sun, Joanna held a stack of pamphlets, casting a glance at the distant figure standing with his usual aloofness. A rush of joy filled her chest.She had not ex

Sean's words remained vividly clear in Liliana's mind, yet the distance between them had only grown wider.She pressed her lips together. "Let's go."Tania still felt that something was off about Liliana, but she could not quite put her finger on it. Deciding to set aside her doubts for now, she simply nodded."Are you both freshmen checking in today?"Just as Liliana and Tania were making their way forward, Joanna stopped them with a welcoming smile. "Here's an informational pamphlet about Vista University. I hope it helps!"Tania, unfamiliar with the university, took one without hesitation and began flipping through it.The moment Liliana saw Joanna, she instinctively wanted to avoid her. However, she reminded herself that Joanna did not know her. Letting go of her tension, she took a pamphlet as well. "Thank you!""You're welcome!" Joanna maintained her graceful demeanor, exuding warmth and approachability.Having spent years in the student council, she had mastered the skil

"This is my best friend and roommate, Liliana. Liliana, meet Sean," Tania introduced, not missing a beat to bring Liliana into the spotlight. Liliana, who had tried to make herself invisible when Sean walked over, was suddenly the center of attention.Feeling two pairs of eyes on her made Liliana squirm. She mustered all her courage and said, "Hello, Sean, Joanna," in a voice barely above a whisper. She quickly looked down, wishing for nothing more than for Sean and Joanna to go away. Tense all over, Liliana missed the shadow that crossed Sean's face.Tania watched Liliana's stiff behavior with a frown. She knew Liliana was not usually this shy—no, it was caution, not shyness.Tania knew her friend well after so many years. Liliana was never this guarded, even with strangers. However, she was all nerves and tension now.Tania snuck a peek at Sean and saw he was still watching Liliana. She giggled and teased, "Are you looking at Liliana?" Liliana looked up at Tania's words, and so

Joanna did not think much of it. She just found it a bit unfortunate. Still, she knew this was not the time to reveal any reaction. Instead, she simply turned her head and smiled, poised and gracious. "Sean, do you still remember those two juniors?"Sean only seemed to notice Tania and Liliana then. "Who are they?"He spoke in an unemotional tone. They were not very close, but they were not too far away either.Liliana's face went white when she heard Sean's voice, but she took a deep breath. Her heart fluttered when she saw Sean and his friends approaching, but she managed to keep her face calm."Hey, do you remember me?" Joanna asked, looking at Tania and Liliana with poise. In her mind, she saw Tania as a serious competitor and hardly gave a second glance to the girl at Tania's side, missing Liliana's anxious look.Tania was not someone to underestimate. She did not have any issues with Joanna, but Joanna's challenging look made it clear. Was she trying to start something?Eve

Liliana felt Tania's eyes on her and bit her lip. "I guess!" She tried to act normal and quickly looked away from where Sean was.Liliana could try to hide all she wanted, but Sean had already seen her. He did not just see Liliana but also noticed Tania next to her. When his eyes landed on Tania, a subtle spark flashed through them, but he quickly looked away."Sean, I really didn’t think you would come." Joanna was genuinely surprised to see Sean. She had mentioned the talk to him before, but he had not made any promises.Joanna had her own ambitions too. She had been studying medicine for five years, and this was her final year. With graduation just around the corner, she really wanted to land a great job. It just so happened that Sean was the dean of his own hospital, and thanks to some school gossip, everyone thought she was Sean's girlfriend. They all expected her to work at Sean's hospital after graduation.Joanna was quite proud of her skills in her field.However, she was

On Wednesday, Liliana and Tania got a message from their mentor. The school wanted to make sure their graduating class had some guidance as they started their new lives in the real world. Thus, they had planned a special talk in the school auditorium with some super successful Vista University grads sharing their tips.Liliana and Tania had jobs lined up, but they knew some advice from the pros could still be a big help. They showed up at school bright and early."Wow! I thought our class was pretty sharp, but look at all these people here to learn more," Tania said, surprised by the crowd.Liliana chuckled. "Being smart doesn't mean you can't learn something new," she teased.Tania gave her a playful look. "Oh, come on. Don't call me out like that!" she said, giving Liliana's arm a gentle tug. "Hey, look over there! Isn't that Joanna from the med department?"Tania did not really remember Joanna all that well, but she knew her as one of the girls who had won the title of pretties

Charles's face took on a more serious look. "Alright. You should head back first."Liliana let out a relieved smile and nodded. "Okay, I will.""Liliana," Charles called out to her again. She stopped and turned to face him. "Yes? Is there something else?"Charles narrowed his eyes and said, "Make sure you come home when you have the chance."Liliana tensed up when she heard that. She bit her lip, looking a bit troubled, but Charles did not wait for her to respond. "Go ahead!"She let out a sigh of relief and quickly left.Charles watched Liliana walk away for a long time before he turned around. Suddenly, he heard a clear, beautiful voice nearby, "Xavier, I've already told you I'm busy today. I can't hang out with you!"Charles paused because of the voice. A cute girl walked by him, sounding slightly annoyed but happy, "Yeah, I've already made plans with Rowena and Teresa. Let's leave it at that!"After the girl ended her call, she felt someone watching her, making her uneasy.

Liliana froze for a moment, then turned to see Sean and Joanna sitting not too far away.Joanna was facing away, unaware of Liliana's gaze, but Sean was at an angle where Liliana could easily see the look on his face.He always seemed so annoyed when he was with her, but with Joanna, he was all smiles and warmth. Even though Liliana knew where she stood with Sean, her heart still skipped a beat every time she saw him with Joanna.They had to be a couple, right? After all, they were together at Faris, sharing a couple's meal.Liliana was unsure how to feel, but then she remembered she and Sean were nothing to each other, and she chided herself for being foolish.Charles's eyes narrowed thoughtfully, and he tapped his long fingers on the table, pulling Liliana back from her thoughts. She turned to see his deep, mysterious gaze and quickly gathered her wits. "Charles!" she called out.Charles glanced in the same direction everyone else was looking and saw Sean with a woman. He notic

"Um… Sir, ma’am, our restaurant has a special couple's meal deal that's quite affordable. Would you like to try it?""Ah, no thanks. We're not a couple, we're siblings!" Liliana said quickly. "The couple's meal wouldn't be right for us.""Oops, I’m sorry about that. In that case, what would you like to order, Miss?"Liliana looked over at Charles, who gave her a quick glance and frowned slightly. "Pick whatever you feel like eating!""Alright!" Liliana nodded, chose a few things from the menu that looked good and were not too pricey, and handed the menu back to Charles.Charles added one more item to the order, then paused and turned to Liliana. "You're graduating next year, right?""Yep!" Liliana responded, almost childlike in front of Charles. "I am.”"Not much time left, huh? How's all the graduation stuff coming along?"Charles's tone was casual, like a relative catching up with a younger family member.However, perhaps because Charles sounded a bit too stern and formal, L

Sean's eyes twinkled as he casually pulled his hand back and glanced at Joanna. "What's up with Darek?" He did not seem too interested in school matters, but he was more patient when it came to Darek. Sean really liked Darek. Even though he was young, he was smart and had already won many awards. Sean was sure that Darek would achieve great things in the future as long as he stayed healthy. Sean did not have romantic feelings for Joanna, but he stayed close to her because of Darek. Joanna's eyes lit up when she heard that. She did not understand what made Darek so special to Sean, but she was happy to let them be close. It meant she had a chance to spend time with Sean too."Darek recently won a big prize in a physics contest and wanted to share his excitement with you! But he's been under the weather lately, and my parents can't decide if they should take him to the hospital. You know how much Darek dislikes hospitals, and the bills there can be really high!

Sean could not take his eyes off Liliana. When she turned and left, something inside him cracked. He shoved his hand into his coat pocket and squeezed it into a fist.Joanna's voice, clear and pretty, broke through his thoughts. Sean looked at her. "Yeah?""Sean, what are you looking at?" Joanna tried to see what had caught Sean's attention but found nothing. "Did you recognize someone?""No." Sean did not look back at Liliana. Instead, he faced Joanna. "You wanted to see me for...?""Oh, it's just..." Joanna's cheeks were pink, and she fidgeted with her hands. "Gavin from school told you, right? The school wants to invite some famous alumni to talk to the younger students about jobs. You're so great. They really want you to come back."Joanna had come to convince him today. It had been ages since they had last met, especially since Sean opened his own hospital.Feelings were not Sean's thing—work was. He had not been back to school in three years, making it harder for Joanna to
