Chapter 561 The Esports Club
Catherine calmly rejected Marshallâs proposal without any hesitation or indication of interest. She just didnât feel like going. She was tired from getting up early in the morning.
âSchoolâs over now. Why am I going to the lab?â she thought.
Marshall felt slightly down since he didnât expect Catherine to reject him. He could tell that Catherine was not someone who could be forced to do something.
Although he really wanted to test Catherineâs ability urgently, he didnât dare to rush it.
âThatâs cool. Just drop by whenever you have time. My labâs doors are always wide open for you!â
Catherine politely replied, âThanks a lot, Professor Hartley!â
As soon as the words were spoken, Catherine didnât waste any time and left directly.
Amelia was following behind, completely absent-minded, and almost bumped into Catherine.
Catherine stopped in her tracks and looked at Amelia. With a casual tone, she asked, âCan you please pay a bit more attention while walking?â
The cold tone snapped Amelia back to reality.
She looked up with excited and admiring eyes at Catherine.
âOh my god! Super Catherine, you actually turned down Professor Hartleyâs invitation!â
After finishing speaking, she couldnât believe what she had just personally experienced. Instinctively, she tightly covered her mouth.
Catherine watched her exaggerated movements. Ameliaâs eyes were wide open like a little hamster, and she was actually kind of cute.
âCan you stop being foolish? Didnât I say to go back to the dormitory? So why let these things interrupt us?â
âJust because she wanted to go back to her dorm and rest early. Thatâs the only reason.
âCatherine is incredibly stylish and exudes an overwhelming aura of authority. Itâs truly impressive!
âWhy is an opportunity that others canât even beg for so insignificant for her?â thought Amelia.
It suddenly became quite lively after they came out of the botanical garden.
As they were still in the welcoming period, many clubs took advantage of the free time to onboard freshers.
Little stalls were set up with desks lining both sides of the road, and senior students were constantly trying to persuade people to join them.
When Catherine and Amelia passed by, they immediately caught many peopleâs attention.
Although Catherine wore a hat, her tall and straight figure, graceful physique, and excellent temperament were still the main attention-grabbers.
Amelia wasnât bad-looking either. She was a fair and clean little girl with pretty big eyes, about the same height as Catherine, the type that stood out in a crowd.
If it werenât for the powerful aura emanating from Catherine, people would have probably already started fighting for her along the way.
Amelia was attracted by a poster halfway through and stopped in her tracks. At the same time, she called out to Catherine.
âHey, Super Catherine, come here quick!â
Catherine thought something big had happened, but when she looked back, she realized Amelia was drooling over the poster with a lovesick expression.
Amelia couldnât take her eyes off the character on the poster, excitedly sharing her happiness with Catherine.
âSuper Catherine, check it out. Itâs Hero, my idol, like a big shot in the gaming world!â
Catherine was totally not surprised by Ameliaâs idol revelations.
âThis girl is a top-level flirt.
âHer idolâs expiration date is probably calculated by months. Maybe she even forgot who her idol was three months ago,â said Catherine inwardly.
Seeing that a girl finally showed up and actually stopped by their booth, the recruitment senior students of the esports club hurriedly went up to her.
The esports club had plenty of new members, but they were seriously lacking in female freshmen.
It was even rare to have two girls, and they were so beautiful and elegant. Such promising talents must not be missed.
âHey girls, you interested in joining our esports club? Besides having top-level senior players who can help you rank up, the best part is that our club spokesperson is Hero! Thereâs even a chance for you to meet Hero in person!â
That senior student was pushing it really hard. She practically wanted to sign up for them herself.
Catherine couldnât care less, but Amelia was enthusiastically discussing with the senior.
Seeing that Amelia was so engrossed in the conversation, Catherine was about to leave first, but then Amelia stopped her right there.
Amelia was looking at her with a hopeful expression. âCatherine, arenât you also playing this game? Letâs join the esports club together. It would be great to have someone to play with!â
Catherine had zero interest written all over her face. She was not interested in joining any club.
âNot interested!â
However, Amelia had already been brainwashed. Recently, she had been deeply infatuated with Hero, and just now, the senior student tempted her with the promise of seeing Hero next time. It was really a blow to her heart.
There was no need for this senior student to take action as Amelia had already used all her means to persuade Catherine.
âSuper Catherine, just join in. The senior student just mentioned earlier that the esports club doesnât have many errands going on. Itâs really easy. I know you donât like getting involved in too much trouble. Otherwise, I wouldnât have bothered inviting you to any other clubs.
âSuper Catherine, being a college student without joining a club is not complete. Come on!â
Catherine couldnât dissuade Amelia, mainly because Amelia was too good at acting cute.
She just tossed the registration form that someone shoved into her hands to Amelia and said, âYou fill it out!â
Amelia eagerly reached out and grabbed it, practically jumping with excitement.
âSuper Catherine, I always knew you were the best!â
So Catherine was forced to join the esports club and became a new member. The senior student was holding two registration forms, totally thrilled.
âHey, you two, remember to attend the orientation meeting tomorrow night at 8 PM! Donât be late, okay?â
Amelia nodded and contentedly pulled Catherine away.
Throughout the journey, she was yakking away with Catherine, talking about how handsome her idol was.
Catherine had absolutely no reaction, not even a word in response.
Amelia secretly thought that Catherine was not just a bit cold but also didnât understand what was a hot guy.
âCatherine doesnât really care about the well-educated professor.
âEven a handsome guy doesnât catch her attention. What exactly is she thinking?â said Amelia inwardly.
The two of them walked to the dormitory building, getting ready to go upstairs. Amelia suddenly spotted a handsome figure ahead, which instantly caught her attention.
She stared at it carefully momentarily, and her emotions were instantly stirred up. She excitedly grabbed Catherineâs sleeve and shook it continuously.
âCatherine, look! Thereâs a super handsome guy!â
Catherine looked nonchalant but couldnât resist the enthusiasm of Amelia, so she turned her head to look.
At the moment she caught sight of the person, Catherineâs expression changed.
âCatherine, can you believe that hottie is walking toward us? What does he mean? Oh my god, my heart canât handle this. Heâs soooo hot!â
Amelia was so excited that she started stomping her feet unconsciously.
The tall man walked straight up to the two of them and paused for a moment.
But his gaze wasnât on Amelia but was tightly fixated on Catherine standing beside Amelia. His gaze was beyond gentle.
âKathy, why did you come back so late? Didnât you finish class at forty?â
