chapter 3

Inside the seminar hall, Molly Mae waved her hand. "Lucy here! Gosh, you are finally here!"Lucy breathlessly sat on the chair next to her.Molly smacked on her head. "Seriously, you just barely made it in time."But Lucy seemed to be thinking something else. Her eyes were starry and sparkly."I am talking to you, dummy head!""Yaya, I think I am in love…" she mumbled."What? Did you hit your head somewhere?""No, but my heart seems to have hit somewhere. Molly, is this what first love feels like? I can hear my heartbeat so clearly."Molly  pinched her cheeks."Ow! Ow! It hurts!" Lucy cried."It should. What are you thinking of love when you are about to give such an important presentation now?"Lucy said, "What should I do if I met a Godly handsome man right outside who saved my job today? From the moment I saw him, only his face is flashing in my mind like a sweet siren."Molly  sobbed. "Who are you? Who has taken over my friend's body?""It's still me, Lucy Hale."The door opened and the professor entered. He had that strict and stern gaze as always.Lucy whispered. "I will tell you everything later."Molly's mouth twitched. "Just don't mess up this presentation.""The Godly handsome man saved my job so I won't mess up and let his help go to waste.""..."The professor stood at the center of the podium and said, "Students. I hope you are ready with your presentations. There is a judging panel seated on the other side who will watch your presentations. The panelists are a mix of executives from different companies. If they like your thesis and performance, they would offer you a job contract. If any student receives more than one offer, he or she is free to choose the company they would want to work with. Results will be announced after lunch."Everybody nodded."Any questions?""No, Sir.""We are going to start. As of this moment, no late students are allowed into the hall."Lucy gulped.I really could have been that late student today.The lights dimmed and the projector started."Lucy Hale.""Yes sir!"She hastily stood up but her knee hit the desk and she yelped in pain. "Ow…""Pfft…" the other students whispered and laughed at her clumsiness.Molly's face turned pale.
