Chapter 56 Choosing Courses

Spencer hadn’t been in M City for three weeks. Fiona’s everyday life was starting to get back on track. The only thing she constantly worried about was her internship under Celine.

After an entire day of work, she left the office building exhausted. Sophia hadn’t come today, so Fiona had to deal with all the chores. Now, she also had to go back by herself. As she dragged her exhausted body out, she ran into a familiar face.

A sharply-dressed Terence had just parked his luxury car in front of the building. He then leaned against it and put his hand in his pocket, as if waiting for someone. He raised his head, immediately noticing the girl walking out of the company building. Looking surprised, he said, "Fiona? What brings you here?"

"Hello Terence, it’s nice to see you again. I’m an intern here. Are you waiting for someone?" Fiona asked.

"Yeah." Terence stood up straight and nodded, composing himself from a momentary show of embarrassment. He wondered why Celine and Fiona worked in the same company, and if the latter knew the relationship between Spencer and Celine.

"Well, have a good day. I’m going back home." Fiona bowed slightly and turned to walk away.

"Wait!" Terence raised his hand and hurried to her. "Spencer’s been quite busy recently. Are you doing okay? You know you can call me if you need anything."

"Thank you, I’m doing fine." Fiona smiled gratefully. Suddenly, something he had said came to mind. "You once told me something has been troubling Spencer. Were you referring to his relationship with Celine?"

Terrence’s jaw dropped. "You know about everything?"

"I do."

"Aren’t you shocked?" He had always been a steady and composed person, but right now, it seemed that Fiona had him completely beat.

"I was when I found out about it. But it’s been a long time since. I’ve gotten over it now."

"When did you find out?"

"Terence!" Celine’s voice rang in their ears. As Fiona turned around to the entrance, she saw her trotting towards them.

Fiona was shocked, and then flashed a mocking smile. 'So, Terence is waiting for Celine. Turns out they are friends. How stupid I was to talk about Celine with him.'

"I’m leaving now." Fiona clutched her bag and started to walk away.

"Wait, Fiona," said Terence in a hurried voice. "About what I just asked you..."

"I found out on the wedding night." She looked at him one last time with a cold expression before rushing off.

'What? She found out on her wedding night?' Terence stared while she ran off, leaving him speechless.

"Hey, Terence! Why did you invite me to dinner today?" Celine followed his gaze and saw Fiona. "What did you two talk about?"

"What did you do on their wedding night?" He was now looking at her coldly.

"Fiona snitched on me?" Celine said indignantly, all trace of cheerfulness gone. She stared back at him with sudden annoyance. "I just got here. Why are you suddenly questioning me

s were filled within one minute..."

"What’s left?" Fiona asked, scanning the screen.

"Hmm... advanced mathematics..." Ella put her hands on her hips and groaned. "We’re doomed. What should we do now?"

"Pick it." Fiona smiled and narrowed her eyes, staring at the page as if she was accepting a challenge. "Research suggests math problems help develop the brain and prevent atrophy. It mustn’t be that bad!"

"I say this with utmost respect, but do you think everyone’s like you, Fiona? I would fail advanced mathematics, no question!" Ella stared at her with a grieving expression, which was suddenly replaced with a look of realization.

"Wait, if we choose that, will you be able to help me on the final exam? It’s going to be much easier for us!" Sophia’s eyes lit up and darted towards her friend. "Will you be okay with that?"

Fiona shrugged. "I don’t know if I can, but I’ll try."

"So, what are we going to do now?" Ella asked.

"I’m fine with choosing advanced mathematics. It has higher credits, which could be nice. Anyway, we have no other choice," Fiona replied.

"Then I’ll also go with that," Ella said, "I’ll be fine if you’re there."

"I’ll go with that too, then!" Sophia turned around and typed her name. "No turning back now."

"I'm with you!" Ella said.

"List me down too, please." Fiona smiled. "If I knew that we had no choice but to choose advanced mathematics in the end, I wouldn’t have rushed here with you two. I really don’t like running."

"I’d still rather run twenty laps than choose mathematics. Anyway, it’s done. We should go."

"The classes will start tomorrow, I’m nervous..."

Laughing, the three of them finally left the room. Two boys who sat at the table beside them looked on. One of them whispered, "All the good classes are filled. Why don’t we go with advanced mathematics? Those three beautiful girls did."

"Ha! I was just thinking the same thing. Go, list us down for it." "Okay."
