Chapter 3

Estelle spaced out for a moment.

The man spoke in a cold tone, “What are you following me for? Are you a student at the University of J City?”

He had noticed the girl following him all the way, stopping whenever he stopped and even followed him to the elevator

Estelle’s face flushed, but quickly returned to a calm expression, “Is this the way to your home? It’s a public place, why do you think I am following you?”

A hint of coldness flashed in the man’s eyes. He leaned back a step to make way for Estelle to get on the elevator.

Estelle scoffed, “Never mind, I don’t want any misunderstandings.”

She then turned and headed for the stairs.

The elevator doors closed behind her, blocking out the sight of the man’s narrowing eyes.

Afraid of bumping into Jonathan again, Estelle decided to take the stairs up to the ninth floor.

When she arrived at the conference room, her advisor and the dean of the economics department were

discussing something. They gave her a look, signaling her to wait a bit.

A few other students were also there to hand in their documents, among which a pair of gloomy eyes stared at Estelle maliciously.

Pretending not to see, Estelle took out her phone and played Sudoku for a while.

In less than five minutes, she solved a round and heard footsteps approaching.
