Chapter 1677

The man asked: “Do you someone you like?”

“No way.” Skyler shot back with a dismissive laugh.

The man visibly relaxed at her response. As long as Skyler wasn’t into any other guy, he figured he still had a shot. All he had to do was keep being the good guy, showing her kindness, and eventually, she’d see his worth, maybe even fall for him.

Out of the blue, Amanda gave Skyler a little pinch. “Skyler…”

With a puzzled expression, Skyler turned to Amanda. “What’s up?”

The man’s gaze followed, a silent plea flickering in his eyes.

Amanda’s cheeks flushed under the man’s intense stare, and she felt a certainty about her own thoughts. “Skyler, maybe you shouldn’t reject him so quickly. Let’s think it over back at the dorm.”e2

The man’s eyes lit up with hope. “Skyler, I’m Logan, a senior in the archaeology department.”

Skyler nodded politely. “Hi, Logan.”

Logan continued, “People say archaeology doesn’t have much of a future, but I love it, and it’s stable work. I’m a local from the Capital. An only child. My folks run a small business, we’re not rich, but we’re comfortable. We own three houses: one I live in with my parents, one they’re setting up for me, and another one…”

He seemed ready to spill his entire family’s financial status. Skyler had to cut him off. “Logan, you don’t need to tell me all this because I’ve already made it clear. My focus right now is on my studies, not on romance.”

“But Skyler, I really like you. Ever since I saw you speak at the opening ceremony, it was love at first sight. I’ve been too busy with studies to date, but I really want to try with you. If you’d marry me, I’d always treat you well, and whether you work or not would be entirely up to you.”

Amanda and the others were dazzled. A tall, handsome guy with property in the Capital, a secure job lined up after graduation, and no romantic baggage. Such a catch would be a hot commodity on the dating scene.

No, how could such a catch even make it to the dating scene? He’d be snapped up by matchmakers long before that.

Rejecting him was like saying no to a lottery jackpot. Amanda and the others could barely stomach the thought of letting a billion slip through their fingers.

Skyler stood up, “I’m sorry.” Without leaving any room for fantasy, she walked away.

Amanda and Emma couldn’t bear to see the golden bachelor just tossed aside by Skyler. “Logan, don’t be discouraged. Skyler’s just shy with all these people around. We’ll talk to her back at the dorm and get back to you.”

Facing rejection in front of their peers didn’t faze Logan. “I’d appreciate that.”

They exchanged contact details quickly.

“And, Logan, you can’t go accepting any other girls in the meantime. Wait for our good news,” Amanda added.

“There won’t be any other girls,” Logan assured her.

“Great.”

Meanwhile, Desiree caught up to Zavier, who had left the stadium. “Zavier, Zavier… Wait up for me.”
