His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 497

The light in the hall was dim. There was only a spotlight on the presenter on the stage.

Marcus was creeping away stealthily when a person suddenly came out from one of the rows and collided with him.

“Ouch,” cried Marcus, putting his hand to his aching head.

The other person fared no better, and he breathed in sharply in agony.

Just as Marcus was turning to go, the man tugged at his sleeves and said sternly, “Why are you leaving before the show is over?”

“I...” Marcus raised his eyes and looked straight into the eyes of Donovan!

With help from the stage light, Donovan managed to make out who it was and spoke in surprise, “Mr. Brown, are you okay? I thought it was a student who was trying to slip away...”

Marcus made a shushing gesture and whispered, “I'm okay. Please carry on. I'm making a move first.”

“Going off?” asked Donovan as he blocked his way again. “Mr. Parker and his friends are here. I was hoping that you could make the introductions so that I can get to know them.”

Steven was also a graduate of Maxwell University though it was a long time ago since he graduated from their Arts department.

“Oh, forget it. It's too embarrassing,” sighed an upset Marcus. “Let me advise you not to approach him. I'm taking the chance to slip away.

The principal's unusual behavior confused Donovan. He pulled at his sleeves again and asked seriously, “What happened, Mr. Brown?”

Seeing that he could not get rid of Donovan, Marcus said, “Come with me. We'll talk outside.”
