Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 878

It was ten o'clock at night when Raeleigh and Jepherson came out of the principal's office. There was barely anyone left in the school.

Stuart was waiting for Jepherson downstairs. When Raeleigh exited the room, Stuart hastily stepped outside the compound.

At such an hour, they would attract people's attention by driving the car inside the compound. Raeleigh walked Jepherson out.

As they were walking, Jepherson asked Raeleigh, "How are you going to deal with the design?"

Raeleigh was not worried about that, so she answered casually, "I haven't thought about it. Since it has already caused a great disturbance, it's inappropriate for me to take it out again. If I get it, I'll consider it a stroke of good luck. If not, then that's just the way things are. If it was meant to be mine, it will be. If it's not, then I can’t force it to be. I never wanted to participate in the car design competition anyway."

"The Richards Group is extremely prominent in the automotive field. If you can demonstrate your talents as a student and have such an achievement recorded in your resume, you may have a chance to go abroad for a doctorate," Jepherson was looking at the bigger picture. He was not being partial as it was a fact that Raeleigh was skilled.

"I don't want to go abroad. Tamberland is fine. Yes, the Richards Group is excellent, but that's irrelevant. I still have a long way to go till I have to consider matters after graduation. I haven't graduated yet, so my mission now is to study well. I can search for jobs after I've graduated."

That night, Raeleigh acted more talkative than usual, carrying on the conversation with Jepherson. He was satisfied from that alone, so he did not press the issue further.

The two left the school compound. At the door, Raeleigh commented that she had to sign her name at the dormitory records to indicate that she had left the campus. However, Jepherson just took her hand and urged, "Let's go."

Thus, Raeleigh left the school compound and got into the car with Jepherson. She asked him calmly, "Where are you taking me?"

He replied, "I haven't eaten yet. Let's have dinner. I'll send you back after that." Raeleigh had no more questions to ask after hearing his reply. After all, Jepherson had already reassured her that she would be sent back to her dormitory after dinner.

The car stopped at the door of a restaurant. Raeleigh followed Jepherson to a private room. He stepped in first, whereas she followed suit with Stuart.

The menu was nothing special and both of them did not have much of an appetite either. They ate their own dishes in almost absolute silence.

"Have some meat. You're too skinny," Jepherson put some food onto Raeleigh's plate, and she ate it. She would not reject others' good intentions.

After dinner, noticing the time, Jepherson sent Raeleigh back to Elkton University.

Just as Raeleigh got out of the car, Jepherson took a letter out and gave it to her. "Deanna took this two days ago and read it. Keep it. Don't show it to her."

Raeleigh stared the letter in her hands, not knowing what to say. As she was hesitating, Stuart took it on her behalf and passed it to her. He told her, "No one has ever been the recipient of Mr. Jepherson's kindness."

Raising her head, Raeleigh looked at Stuart, who had put the letter into her hands, and turned back to the car. Jepherson instructed the driver to leave and he slowly made his departure.

Looking down again, Raeleigh gazed at the letter. Then, she turned around, took a look at the empty school compound and entered.

Upon returning to her bedroom, Raeleigh was met with a sleeping Scarlette. Amidst her snoring, Scarlette heard Raeleigh pushing the door open. She moved slightly, turned around, and continued to sleep.

Raeleigh looked at the time. She had been out for dinner until midnight, yet she still managed to enter the university.

After putting the letter away, Raeleigh went to sleep.

The next morning, Raeleigh heard that the results of the car design competition had been changed. Since the previous placings had caused such a dispute, their qualifications had been temporarily revoked. The remaining positions did not change. Due to the fact that the first place belonged to no one, the competition that year gained far more infamy than their past ones.

Raeleigh froze for a moment upon seeing the notice. Thinking back to what Jepherson had said the night before, she realized that he had asked for her opinion on whether to maintain the first place or vacate it.
