Chapter 310 The Guest Lecturer
Scott explained the purpose of his call on the other end of the line.
Tessa felt rather surprised and asked, “Mr. Brooks, what are you doing at the school?”
“This is my alma mater. I promised to be a guest lecturer for a class today,” Scott chuckled and explained, then asked again, “How about it? Do you want to go with me?”
Tessa figured that she had nowhere to go anyway, so she agreed.
Scott sent the address to Tessa via text message, and they hung up after agreeing to meet at the school.
…
In the bright and spacious classroom, Tessa sat quietly at the end of the desk with her chin propped up.
Directly ahead, Scott stood at the podium in a black suit, giving a lecture humorously. The students present were attracted and responded eagerly, laughter spreading in the classroom from time to time.
Listening to all kinds of naive questions from the students, Tessa couldn’t help but recall her schooldays. At that time, like the students present, she was full of dreams and aspirations for the future.
Tessa’s thoughts began to wander as she listened to the lecture. Occasionally, she could hear discussions of the starstruck female students.
“Mr. Brooks is so handsome. I’m going to try my luck and ask for his number after class.”
“If Mr. Brooks becomes my boyfriend, that would be such a dream come true.”
“In your dreams. Mr. Brooks is mine.”
“Stop arguing. Mr. Brooks will belong to whoever wins him over.”
When the bell rang after class, Scott sorted out his coursework materials and announced, “Class dismissed.”
Almost as soon as he spoke, several attractive female students surrounded him.
“Mr. Brooks, can you leave your contact number? I’d like to ask you questions on some of the topics I don’t quite understand.”
“Mr. Brooks, can you give me your autograph? I really like your violin performance.”
“Mr. Brooks, do you have a girlfriend?”
The classroom was in chaos for a moment, and some students even confessed their feelings to him on the spot.
Sitting at the desk, Tessa sighed as she watched Scott, surrounded by students. It’s so good to be young and carefree. Not to mention, she was envious that so many people liked Scott.
It wasn’t until the bell rang for the next class that he escaped the enthusiastic students. He tidied his messy suit and walked to Tessa with a smile. “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Tessa shook her head, unbothered. Then, from the corners of her eyes, she noticed the students nearby who kept turning back, so she said with a faint smile, “They’re very friendly.”
“So friendly that it was a little bit more than a handful.” Scott patted his chest in fear.
As she noticed his expression, she recalled that many female students had used rather vulgar words with Scott just now. She teased, “This just shows that you’re very charming.”
“Sometimes, I really wish I’m not this charming.”
Scott looked distressed, so much so that she couldn’t help but laugh. Seeing the girl’s bright smile, he let out a relieved smile. “You’re finally smiling.”
When Tessa heard this, the smile on her face froze. She looked at Scott in surprise. “How did you know I was in a bad mood?”
“Because I have good observational skills.” Scott looked proudly at Tessa. “Do you want to talk about it? Why are you upset? I’ve been told that I’m an excellent listener.”
She fixed him with a somewhat complicated look at his inquiries. She thought she was hiding it well, so she didn’t expect him to see through her so easily.
“Actually, it’s nothing. It’s just some personal affairs.”
She didn’t want to tell him. After all, both of them weren’t close enough to share such personal matters.
Scott peered at Tessa for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, “Well, I won’t force you if you don’t want to tell me, but…” He deliberately dragged his response.
She immediately cooperated and asked, “But…?”
