Novel 543
Chapter 81
Carlisle tucked his phone away and continued to munch on his bread roll filled with chorizo. His meal filled the classroom with the pungent smell of the sausage.
Despite the smell, many classmates were also having breakfast, so no one spoke up.
Carlisle wasn’t usually a fan of such strong–smelling breakfast foods, but today, he found his chorizo-
stuffed bread roll surprisingly delicious.
Wanda moved her chair closer to Carlisle and whispered, “Carlisle, why did you ask about the chairman of Islo Clothing?”
“How did you know?” Carlisle turned his head abruptly, almost bumping into Wanda.
“Ew, that stinks…” Wanda quickly backed away from Carlisle. She even waved her hand to clear the air. “I
shouldn’t have bought you that bread roll.”
Carlisle leaned in and blew a gust of air at Wanda. “Does it smell?”
“Stay away, it’s gross!” Wanda covered Carlisle’s mouth with her hands.
Several classmates glared at them as they were being loud,
“Remember, we’re in a public place, so keep it down!” Phoebe interrupted from behind, covering her mouth to stifle a giggle.
With her face flushed, Wanda buried her head in her arms on the desk.
Christine, however, wasn’t distracted by the commotion and remained engrossed in her book.
Her desk mate, Lorraine, leaned over cautiously and whispered, “Christine, do you have a crush on
Carlisle, too?”
Christine shook her head firmly. “Not at all!”
“I saw your chat history on MSN with Carlisle!”
Christine’s face turned red.
“I’m so sorry, Christine. I didn’t mean to pry!” Lorraine said awkwardly.
Tears welled up in Christine’s eyes, She looked down and muttered, “Then you must have seen that he
likes Wandal
“Don’t be upset. There are a lot of great guys in college. You’re sure to find the right one. Besides, we’re still young! There’s no rush to start dating!”
Christine pursed her lips and nodded silently in agreement.
Christine had completely given up hope after receiving a message from Carlisle in the morning. She could tell that Wanda had feelings for Carlisle as well.
Chapter 81.
Wanda had probably fallen in love with him since high school. She had even waited for Carlisle to give up
on Sarah.
When Christine thought about it, it was possible that Wanda intentionally got lower grades on her exams just to get into Riverland University with Carlisle.
Since the two of them were clearly in love, she decided it was hopeless to go after him.
Around 8:00 pm, Susan entered the classroom.
She immediately frowned. “It smells! Did no one bother to open the windows?
“Please try to have breakfast outside next time. Even if there are special circumstances where you can’t have breakfast, don’t bring strong–smelling food like chorizo into the classroom!”
As Susan finished her words, those sitting near Carlisle turned to look at him.
Susan glanced at Carlisle as well but didn’t press the issue. After all, these students had just started college. A gentle reminder was more than enough.
Carlisle felt his face burn.
Just when he had finally established a good image with the guidance counselor, a chorizo bread roll had
ruined it.
Wanda apologized weakly, “Carlisle, I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have gotten you that bread roll!”
“It’s…” Carlisle started, but when he turned to look at Wanda, she was stifling a laugh. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Carlisle gritted his teeth and finished his sentence. “…fine.”
Wapda bit down on her lips and began mentally reviewing every heartbreaking moment in her life.
It was only after she remembered the death of her golden retriever, who had accompanied her through high school, that she managed to keep a straight face.
Carlisle only had Susan’s class in the morning. The rest of the day was for self–study.
As the class was about to end, Wanda asked, “Carlisle, you still haven’t answered my question. What do you want with the chairman of Islo Clothing?”
“Uh…” Carlisle was at a loss for words as he tried to come up with an excuse.
“I can help you!”
“Uh…”
He knew Wanda’s family was wealthy, but he hadn’t thought they were influential enough to have connections with the chairman of Riverland’s leading fashion company.
“Do you want to meet him, or do you just need his phone number?”
“Meeting him would be ideal!”
“Alright, I’ll arrange it for you. But how will you thank me?”
Carlisle chuckled mischievously. “How about a kiss?”
“What…” Wanda glanced around to make sure no one was watching before saying with a flushed face, Can’t you be serious for once?”
