Chapter 712
We were just normal young people who were eager to study and work hard. We wished to become great people and protect each other.
The professor always managed to bring us back on track when our thoughts and actions strayed. And being appointed specifically to lead a project was a great honor.
With so many famous artists out there, why would the partners choose inexperienced people like us?
It might be a coincidence for me, but for Colin, it was clear that they trusted his capabilities. So, it would be a little ungrateful not to accept the offer.
Furthermore, this might be a rare opportunity that shouldn't be missed. Opportunities waited for no one, so a precious opportunity like this could significantly shorten one's struggle on the journey to success.
I understood the professor's desire to see his students succeed, but I never thought my future husband was one of the chosen ones.
We could live a normal life of dating, get married, and have a family of our own. We could live peacefully for the rest of our lives with our current capabilities.
Fame and status were just superficial things. Having them might give us some excitement, but we wouldn't feel too disappointed without them.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"Professor, I think you should reconsider this. There are many outstanding lecturers and talented individuals in Jesselton College. Others might have objections if Colin is chosen each time."
"I don't care. They can object however they want. But if anyone dares to challenge me, I'll show them who's the boss here. Luna, it seems like you don't want Colin to take on this project. I didn't expect that. "You usually seem quite sensible, but now you're only thinking about your own love story. You've become a stumbling block to Colin. This surprises me."
I blushed with embarrassment.
My dear professor, I was just asking if there was any work around. I never wanted to block Colin in his career. He was my boyfriend and my future husband, the person I would spend the rest of my life with. Wouldn't I want the best for him?
Just what was this old man talking about? He was depressing his students. What good would that do for him?
Seeing me distressed, Colin was about to defend me, but he was cut off by the professor.
"And you, Colin, I've always boasted
to everyone about you being the role model and my best student with unlimited potential. But you seem completely oblivious to this. Instead, you indulge yourself in matters of love. You've disappointed me."
Colin and I exchanged a nervous glance and didn't dare to speak.
We hardly had any proper dates since we started dating. Could that even be considered as indulging in matters of love? Did the professor have some misunderstanding of the words he said?
"What's with all the flirting in front of me? Are you trying to show off your love? Fine, I'm not your father anyway. There's no need for me to talk so much about that.
"Colin, just tell me if you're taking on
the project or not. Give me a direct answer. If you refuse, I'll
immediately request a replacement. Even if the partners don't agree, I'll try my best to keep the project and won't leave you in a difficult position.
"It's just that this is such a good opportunity you do well and satisfy the organizers, you could receive millions in rewards. Are you so wealthy that these rewards don't matter to you? Don't say anything else. Just tell me whether you're taking up the project or not, yes or no!"
