Chapter 1198
On the stage, Mr. Zims, Jean's uncle and one of the heads of department in Riverton University, smiling as he announced, "This year's convocation ceremony will be a little different. A VIP has invited many important guests to award the certificates. Now, let's give a warm round of applause to Dan Zimmer, chief of Flora Hall!"
A smiling Dan stepped out from the back door at Mr. Zims' invitation, waving at the students in greeting.
"Eh?" Dan's smile left Bill's smile stiffening.
In his mind, Dan was always stoic and solemn, persistently prim and proper.
So why was he flashing that ridiculous smile?!
However, every other student was unaware of that and were applauding Dan so enthusiastically their hands had turned reddened.
After all, in Riverton, the man was an authority in medicine! It was a great honor to have him award their certificates, and others might not necessarily believe them even if they broke the news! Moreover, they must have come because of one person.
After staring at Dan for a while, the students were soon glancing at Bill, who still appeared surprised.
Almost everyone knew that Bill was Dan's student, which was why it went without saying who invited Dan to come.
"Shit, Bill Jackson's amazing... I mean, the chief of Flora Hall?"
"Hah! Do you know what's even more amazing? The man's smiling!"
"Do you think he'd be that pleased if he didn't care about Bill?"
"Honestly, I would have missed it if you didn't tell me."
"Bill's so awesome..."
Hearing the students' whispers, Bill quickly composed himself, putting on a look of confidence as if Dan's presence was his accomplishment.
In reality, when Bill asked his father to invite Dan, Dan's response was an uninterested 'busy'.
In other words, it depended on his mood.
And now, he was this pleased?
Bill was certainly left bemused about what could have pleased Dan that much. Still, after boasting so much
in front of Winter all proven
himself, he was quite gleeful about it. swñovel.net
"See, Winter? Bill's not bad, isn't he?"
Jean giggled into Winter's ear. "He could actually invite Dan Zimmer over, and you still think he doesn't compare to your brother?" "Yeah." Winter sniffed, still keeping her head lowered.
She almost did not seem surprised about Dan's presence.
"Urgh..." Jean sighed in disappointment.
Bill smiled just then, his facade so perfectly executed that even Jean could not discern his true nature. "Hehe... Having Mr. Zimmer handing you your certificate would make you a more desirable recruit." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"Yeah," Winter replied distractedly.
Bill narrowed his eyes-she was still missing her brother now? He would make her understand the pleasures of a woman tonight!
While he quickly hid the look on face, Mr. Zims then announced, "Calm down, everyone. Let's invite our second VIP now... Mr. Gerald Simmons, Senator of Riverton!"
"What?!"
The announcement left every student dumbstruck.
