Who is calling me at this hour?
Donovan massaged his temples to soothe his headache. Refused to see Arielle's arrogance on the stage, he left the hall and answered the phone.
Immediately, a lecturer said over the phone excitedly, “Don, I've sent your mathematical solutions to a few directors of Maxwell University, and they are impressed! So, please work hard on your thesis. I heard that they might lower the standards of obtaining the certificate for you. Instead of sending three students to Maxwell University, they might lower it down to one student. So, your thesis will be of utmost importance!”
Delighted, Donovan replied, “All right, sir. I'll work hard on it!”
“Okay. Also, do you remember that I mentioned a senior who's good at advanced math? Get her help as soon as possible, and you'll complete your thesis smoothly.”
“Understood!”
Donovan's hand shook visibly after the call ended.
I was supposed to send three students to Maxwell University to get the certificate. Once I pass my thesis, I only need to send one student. That's good news! However...
Donovan's countenance fell again, for he knew that he had the opportunity only because of Arielle.
Instead of feeling delighted about the news, he was inexplicably upset and even disgusted for some reason.
He had the same feelings in the hall earlier on. It was as if he had stolen from Arielle for his selfinterest.
Donovan shut his eyes and took a deep breath. After regaining his composure, he slowly opened his eyes.
Arielle won't know about it anyway. Besides, who knows if she only happened to come up with the mathematical solutions?Since I'm Arielle's lecturer, why can't I use her work? After all, my students' work is the same as mine because I've taught them.
