“Allison, Elliot has many secrets. Do not act rashly or let yourself get hurt.”

    Allisonughed it off. “All right, I understand. You are younger than me, bso /bthere is no need to act like an adult in front of me.

    “Rest assured, I know my limits and will not behave inappropriately.

    I am simplyed about him. I worry th

    “Since you are close to the Reedshaw family, I thought you might be able to, in a roundabout way, get everyone to show some concern for him.

    “In any case, whether I can stay at Reedshaw Group and remain in Aloville through my internship still depends entirely on him.”

    Her statement sounded perfectly reasonable, but could not withstand scrutiny. Josie felt somewhat frustrated and did not know how to advise her.

    Emotional matters were, after all, the mostplex in this world.

    Although Elliot was over forty, he took good care of himself band /bhad worked out for many years.

    If he imed to be just over thirty, people would believe it.

    Given the strong gics of the Reedshaw family, there bwere /bno unattractive members. Furthermore, Elliot held a prominent position and managed the entire Reedshaw Group.

    He was the domineering CEO–type, so it was unsurprising that Allison would be drawn to him.

    However, for more than twenty years, Elliot had kept bhis /bdistance from women and refused to marry. Allison was likely to encounter resistance if she pursued him.

    Josie watched Allison walking ahead, feeling anxious yet powerless. She thought, ‘Allison seems determined to face the harship bof /blove.

    Upon returning to the dormitory, Zoey and Adeline were both

    bpresent/b.

    Zoey was packing her belongings, saying that she wanted to move out for the sake of work.

    This semester was about to end. Next academic year, everyone would have almost no sses, so they just needed toe back when the graduation exam took ce.

    Zoey bwould /bnot pursue graduate studies and had already decided to start a business with Colby.

    Allison had also chosen not to pursue graduate studies band /bnow probably only wanted to stay at Reedshaw Group.

    It was confirmed that bboth /bbJosie /band Adeline would take the postgraduate entrance examination.

    However, this matter was not urgent. After all, there was still a year left.

    Adeline, who had been staring at herputer while writing documents, suddenly shouted, “Come on,

    everyone,e bover/bb. /b

    “The school forum just released this year’stest list of campus male and female idols, Josie, your name bis /bbon /bit. This list is so satisfying!”

    Everyone approached out of curiosity to take a blook/b.

    The names of the campus heartthrob and campus beauty had remained unchanged for years. They were Colby and Zoey. The only thing different was their photos.

    The images were evidently taken by a passerby, featuring both individuals together.

    There were a lot ofments below.

    A person wrote: [Their physical attractiveness is remarkably well–matched. I can only imagine how attractive their children would be.]

    Everyone else just cheered for the two of them to be together.

    In addition, a photo of Josie was also included among the voting options.

    Adeline said, “Josie is this year’s department beauty. Natalie got bumped bout/b, all because of that photo of you two atst semester’s campuspetition award ceremony.

    “Those who voted for herst year are now leavingments saying they must have been blind.

    “I’ve been so busytely that I didn’t have time to vote, but it’s clear that Josie is truly beautiful. Everyone can see that.”

    Then Josie’s three dormmates scrambled to rub her face.

    They said the more they rubbed her face, the prettier and cuter it would be.

    Josie, unconvinced, pointed at Zoey and shouted, “Why don’t you rub Zoey’s face? After all, she’s the campus. belle.”

    Adeline said, “Exactly, she’s already the campus beauty. Why bother tweaking her to make her even prettier? You, on the other hand, still have room to improve.”

    bJosie /bthought, That makes so much sense!”

    She ran and hid, convinced that she would ultimately be unable to escape their grasp and would inevitably be subjected to their torment.

    Then, a phone call saved her life.

    The call was from Sean. He asked whether she had returned to school and said that Delh wanted bto /bsee her.

    Josie did not dare to dy. She took her bag and ran out of the dormitory.

    As she left the dormitory and had yet to reach the teaching building, she unexpectedly ran into Keh.
