“I see.Did Mr.Goldstein really get better after moving here?”
The staff member continue to smile and said, “He died from an illness not long after moving here.Later, his son took over the villa and turned it into a university that focuses solely on the training of professionals.”
Averie was taken aback and at a loss for words.
The car arrived at Villa de Sierra about fifteen minutes later.She opened the door and stepped out of the car.
“Welcome to Villa de Sierra, Miss Tate.”
The staff member handed over an entry pass to Averie, then said, “You may only enter and exit the villa with this pass.Please keep it on you at all times.”
Averie took the pass.
Dragging her suitcase, she entered the modern villa that thrummed with the grandeur of modern technology.
When she stepped into the foyer, she suddenly noticed that the villa was much more spacious than it looked from the outside.She felt like she had walked into a majestic maze.She pulled out her phone and found the course schedule that the vice president had sent her.She dragged her suitcase and began to search for the multipurpose training hall.
Soon, she arrived at the hall’s entrance, knocked on the door, then walked in.
There were about twenty to thirty men and women seated in the hall.
After Averie entered the hall, everyone’s eyes turned toward her at the same time.
Her cheeks suddenly flushed.
Just as she was about to apologi for being late, she heard a familiar voice from the podium say, “Are you not coming in?”
Averie felt shocked, and she felt numb.
“Am I hearing things? Why am I hearing Elyette’s voice?” thought Averie.
There was no way she would not recogni his voice! It was Elyette! She turned and looked at the podium.She saw a well-dressed Elyette staring at her with amusement.
“How can this happen? “Why did the vice president not tell me beforehand that Elyette would be here, too?” thought Averie.
If she had known that Elyette would be here to give a lecture, she definitely would not have come…as a student!
“How humiliating!” she thought.
“I’m sorry.I walked into the wrong room.”
Averie remembered from the course schedule that tonight’s lecturer was a man named Justin Meyers.
“You’re at the right place, Averie Tate.”
Elyette strode over to her, grabbed her suitcase from her, and said, “Justin Meyers isn’t feeling well, so I’m substituting for him.
Averie was at a loss for words.
“Find a spot and take a seat.We can talk about the rest after class, ” Elyette said, then dragged her suitcase up to the podium.
Averie watched with red eyes as he took her suitcase away.
She had almost gone up to him and snatched her suitcase out of his hand.She took a deep breath, then headed toward the back row.
She took a seat, then immediately pulled out her phone and planned to text the vice president to ask if he knew that Elyette was going to be here as a substitute lecturer.
“Phones away, please.”
Elyette clearly saw Averie’s actions from the podium.
After he sternly reprimanded her, everyone’s eyes fell on Averie once again.
Averie was utterly humiliated!
“What the hell is he doing? Does he really think he is my teacher or something? Even Professor Hough didn’t use to be this hard on me.How dare he treat me this way?” thought Averie.
“I’m turning on the voice memo on my phone to record your lecture so I can study it when I get back!” Averie boldly stared right at Elyette.
“Is this your first time attending this training course, Miss Tate? Were you not aware that the lecture materials are top secret?” One of the female students seated next to her said to her disdainfully.
“Also, you’re not wearing your uniform, and you even showed up with such a huge suitcase.Do you think this is some kind of marketplace?”
“That’s right.It’s my first time here.Have you been here many times?”
Averie gazed at the student with an innocent expression on her face.
“Are you proud to have been here this much? Didn’t they say that this place turns everyone into successful individuals? Have you not found success even after attending the course this many times?”
Some people instantly began to snicker.
“Averie Tate! What are you doing here if you think you’re so successful!” snapped the student.
“Do you want to know the truth?”
Averie fixed her eyes on the student next to her, then eloquently dragged Elyette into the conversation by saying, “I’m definitely not here to listen to the lecture.I’m here to see the man up on the podium!”
The entire hall broke into pandemonium! Up on the podium, Elyette’s ears turned red.He knew that Averie was speaking out of rage, but he still had a strange feeling in his heart.
However, this was a public setting, and he could not turn her into the target for scrutiny.
“Come up here, Averie Tate,” Elyette said, then stepped off the podium and asked the students at the front row to move back a row.
He had Averie sitting in the front row all by herself.
Without anyone next to her, there would not be any more arguments.
After Averie took a seat in the front row, she shot a glare at Elyette.
Then, she pulled out her phone and texted the vice president right in front of him.
[Elyette Foster is here too.Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?]
The vice president: [You wouldn’t have gone if I told you about it.I spent forty-five thousand on that course.I couldn’t just let that money go to waste.]
