Hesper opened her eyes when she heard what Jessie said and sat up straight as Xavier walked in.
Michelle sat smack in the middle, so it was impossible for Xavier not to see her. He wouldn’t be nice to
Michelle, as she wasn’t very talented but would always find trouble with others.
“Oh, someone is sitting in for free.” He placed his thermos cup on the table and didn’t say more, as if
Michelle didn’t used to be his student and was just a stranger he didn’t know. He turned around and
switched the laptop on.
Michelle felt humiliated, but when no one noticed it because they were afraid of Xavier, she relaxed.
“I’ve looked at the work from the previous lecture,” While waiting for the laptop to boot, Xavier waved
his hand to ask Jessie to give the work back to everyone. “You seem to be very talented when it comes Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
to creating trash.”
Jessie stifled a laugh as Hesper slapped her forehead. She thought that Xavier wouldn’t humiliate the
students because Michelle was there, but he was still sharp-tongued and didn’t give them a chance.
The first half of the class was analyzing the work. Hesper took notes intently. There was a problem with
her previous work too, but since she was sick and had to work, she didn’t have time to redo it and just
submitted it. She was glad she wasn’t yelled at.
Xavier focused on his lecture, and even though Michelle was there, he pretended that she was
invisible. and managed to finish the lecture he prepared.
Everyone was redoing their work. Hesper looked up at Michelle and realized that she was touching up
her makeup while using her phone as a mirror. Her already red lips were even redder. She was
obviously not listening to the lecture.
Hesper sighed and couldn’t figure out the reason Michelle was there. She sat there for half an hour
among the students rather than going home to rest.
“The person applying makeup in the front row. Please leave if you’re not interested in the lecture.”
Xavier’s voice came from the stage and everyone looked up. Michelle’s hand that was still holding the
lipstick hadn’t lowered in time, so everyone’s eyes were on her.
“…It’s me, Professor Jenkins.” Michelle awkwardly put her lipstick away. “I’m Michelle Sullivan.”
“I don’t care if you’re Michelle or Michaela. Get out if you’re not interested.”
Everyone burst out laughing and Michelle’s face immediately turned red. Ever since she joined the
Duval competition, everything worked for her and no one would dare shame her that way.
‘Xavier Jenkins, you never change!’
Michelle turned and wanted to leave, but since she was in the middle of the row, she needed people to
move before she could get out.
She lowered her head shamefully and didn’t dare look at the way the others were looking at her. All she
could do was unlock her phone and check it, feeling ashamed and angry.
Juniper sent her a message. There was a spare of the bag she wanted, so Juniper got it for her.
She hadn’t known Juniper for long, yet she treated her so nicely. Michelle was feeling humiliated, so
when she saw the message, she replied with a sad emoji.
Juniper: What’s wrong? Who made our famous designer sad?
Michelle: I came back to my old university to visit my lecturer but he turned me into a joke. Michelle: He
was always biassed, but now even though I’ve proved myself, he still hates me.
