Disapprovingly, Summer insisted, "I'll give you guys a ride then."
The trio was silent on the way there. Summer was focused on the wheel while Mark was resting his eyes. The girl just wore a small smile on her face, and Summer could not tell what was on her mind.
The director of the university was standing by the gates, waiting for their arrival. When he saw the noble Mr. Valentine getting off a Volkswagen Golf, he choked and coughed.
Mark had not asked for her to come along, but Summer had already taken it upon herself and followed behind him. She decided that she would act more shamelessly, as she thought, 'The more thick-skinned I am, the better.'
The university they arrived at was the most prestigious one in Santabaca. The director was giving them a tour while introducing the school to them.
The girl had stayed back in the school to start her classes, and at last, the two of them were alone again. Summer turned her head slightly and glanced
towards the man who was in the passenger's seat. She asked, "Are you going into the office today?"
He looked tired as he leaned into his seat. He gave a faint response.
When they arrived at his office, he unbuckled his seatbelt. He threw her a glance and ordered, "Get me some breakfast."
The way he ordered her was as though he was talking t o a servant, but she did not feel upset with it. 'Maybe I am becoming more shameless,' she thought.
Harry had been living on edge these days. He thought,' Mr. Valentine has been in a bad mood these days. When he loses his temper, it's almost deadly like a hurricane. Documents and contracts are piling up for him to review and sign, though...'
'Hmm, he looks different today. Judging from his expressions, one could say that he's glowing.'
He furrowed his brows and shook his head. Then, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Summer panted as she rushed over. After briefly greeting Harry, she went into the office.
She grumbled to herself as she wondered why Mark was such a picky eater. He does not like juice and does not fancy baguettes nor croissants. She got him a lot of food, but there was none that fit his appetite
'But I've got no choice. He's the king now, after all.'
