A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 649
The girl’s confident words finally managed to calm her friend.
Yet, the student still felt her skin prickling with unease as she felt a sense of foreboding.
Right then, Professor Sleight entered the classroom.
“Dear students, I apologize for my tardiness. I had a few matters to resolve,” Professor Sleight explained as he set his materials on the desk.
Here, he paused before continuing, “Also, I have an announcement to make. Tomorrow, a professor from Maxwell University will be visiting our campus. He is going to host a talk and teach you some useful study tips. Make sure you pay attention during his talk.”
His announcement sent the class into a flurry of excitement.
“A lecturer from Maxwell University? I’m sure his study tips will come in handy. I’m going to bring a voice recorder so I won’t miss out on any details!”
“I’m going to bring a notebook and jot everything down!”
Amidst the loud chatting, Professor Sleight cleared his throat to silence the class.
When the class finally settled down, Professor Sleight began again, “Mr. Baxter was a graduate from Maxwell University. Unfortunately, he will not be here tomorrow
and chose Wendy to help with the translation. Wendy, make sure you make the appropriate preparations. Once the class is over, come over to my office to take some notes about the school’s history. You’ll need to translate those materials beforehand.”
Everyone looked at Wendy with admiration.
After all, they all yearned to get into Maxwell University. Being able to act as a translator for the professor from their dream university was a viable method to increase their chances of getting in.
Unfortunately, the translator position had already been filled.
Wendy’s chest puffed with pride as she preened under their admiring stares.
Unable to resist, she turned around to look at Arielle. She wanted to see if Arielle felt jealous about her position as the professor’s translator.
To her utter disappointment, Arielle had her head bent as she was deeply engrossed in something else. Arielle hadn’t even looked up when Professor Sleight made the announcement.
Wendy pursed her lips and looked away,
When Arielle first heard Professor Sleight’s announcement, she was afraid that he would group her and Wendy together. After all, Professor Sleight had high expectations for her.
It would be fine if it were a professor from another university. However, a professor from Maxwell University might recognize me. Southhall Group is on the brink of collapse. I can’t expose my identity right now.
Though Arielle tried to hide at the last row, Professor Sleight still called out her name.
Her back stiffened as she raised her head to look at Professor Sleight.
Professor Sleight beamed. “Arielle, not only is the professor going for a tour, he plans to translate some of the lesson plans from the advanced math class too. Once Wendy is done with the tour, why don’t you join Professor Jones and help him with the translation?”
Immediately, Wendy clenched her jaw in anger. Why did he ask me to lead the tour but assigned Arielle to help with the teaching materials? Compared to Arielle, Professor Sleight must think that I’m utterly insignificant
Although Wendy’s heart was burning with hatred, Arielle was so frustrated that she was close to bursting into tears.
Hesitantly, she raised her hand. “Professor Sleight, I don’t think I’m qualified to handle this task. Since Wendy already holds the role as the translator, you should let her work with Professor Jones instead.”
Wendy’s scowl deepened. Does she think that I’m a
charity case?
Before Wendy could offer a reply, she was interjected by Professor Sleight, who shook his head. “Based on Wendy’s fluency, I’m afraid that she isn’t up to the task. Arielle, you’ll have to fill in this position.”
In a haze of rage, Wenndy’s hand shot into the air “Professor Sleight, please leave this to me,” she blurted.
