Susan quirked her lips in thought. She supposed there were no issues with Wanda’s transfer of sses. Since Wanda and Carlisle were going steady, she would likely be more than happy to be in the same ss as him.
Susan was the youngest lecturer on campus, and having studied abroad, she was more progressive than her colleagues.
She believed anyone who was a legal adult should have the right to love and date. whoever they wanted. After all, one could only get to know a person’s true colors
over time.
Besides, going into marriage only after dating somebody for a while might lower the
chances of divorce.
She was secretly rooting for Carlisle and Wanda, but she made a mental note to
advise them as necessary–as a responsible teacher would.
She wouldn’t want them to abandon their studiespletely in favor of love.
Peter said sternly, “While there are no rules against dating on campus, Wanda and
Carlisle are far too young to navigate a romantic rtionship on their own.
“As their homeroom teacher, I would expect you to provide them with the necessary guidance<i>, </i>Ms. Lowe.”
It was rare for someone below the age of 30 to be appointed as a form teacher at
Rivend University. Susan had her father’s friendship with Peter to thank for her
career on campus.
Nheless, Peter was rather displeased by Susan’s flippant remark on Wanda’s
and Carlisle’s rtionship. He only let it go on ount of his friendship with Susan’s
father.
“That’s where you’re wrong, Mr. Smith,” Susan said with a grin. “Putting Wanda in the
same ss as Carlisle while she’s at her most vulnerable will only intensify the
sparks of their rtionship!”
Peter’s lips curled in annoyance as he stared at Susan incredulously. “What other
option is there? Can you think of anyone else who could help Wanda cope with her
trauma aside from Carlisle?”
Susan shook her head. “No. Carlisle’s the only one who can do that.”
“Enough of this,” Peter said, waving his hand. “You’re both dismissed.”
Susan nodded politely and turned to leave Peter’s office. Timothy followed suit.
Outside the ssroom, Carlisle let go of Wanda’s hand and said with a gentle smile,”
Go in, Wanda. I’ll see you after ss.”
Wanda pursed her lips as tears sprang to her eyes.
Carlisle was reluctant to leave her as well, especially after seeing her eyes turn red
with tears. But there was only so much he could do when they weren’t in the same
ss.
At that moment, Susan and Timothy came up to them. “Ms. Lowe,” Carlisle greeted
nervously, his stomach turning leaden.
He had gotten caught holding hands with Wanda by not one, but two teachers. He
might have been reborn, but his heart was still racing as if he was facing death.
Susan said calmly, “We’ve heard about Wanda’s situation, and the dean has decided
that it would be in her best interests to transfer to ss 2.”
Carlisle froze at first. A secondter, he nearly burst out cheering. He and Wanda
could be seatmates again, which meant there was no need for them to hide their
rtionship on campus anymore.
Timothy walked up to the entrance of ss 1 where Daniel was leaning against the
doorframe and said, “Daniel, help Wanda pack up her textbooks and drop them off at
ss 2, please.”
Daniel had already seen Carlisle holding hands with Wanda. His jaw nearly hit the floor as words failed to escape him.
He felt like his mind had just imploded. Was the university endorsing love affairs as
extra credit?
“Daniel, did you hear me?” Timothy asked, rapping his knuckles against the door.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.
Daniel finally snapped out of his daze. “What did you say?”
Timothy repeated his instruction sullenly, and Daniel hurried to help Wanda pack up her things.
Ruby’s seat was behind Wanda’s, and she was perplexed when she saw Daniel packing up Wanda’s textbooks. “Daniel, what are you doing?”
