If Wendy did not stumble upon their conversation, she would have thought that they were a loving couple.
However, she did not expect that Donovan would attempt to drug Arielle.
I wonder if he succeeded in doing so?
Wendy calmed her thoughts and concealed her anxiousness.
She kept her cool and observed Queenie leaving with admiration-filled eyes.
“Is there anything wrong?” Donovan's voice was slightly hoarse as a result of the quarrel with Queenie.
Wendy pretended to be oblivious to the fight. She placed the scripts on his table and said, “Mr. Baxter, I'm done collecting the scripts. However, I note that Arielle was not here for class, and Henry submitted an empty script. Hence, the collection is not complete.”
When Donovan heard Arielle's name, his expression quickly turned sour and indecipherable.
He nodded and instructed, “Next time, it doesn't matter if everyone submitted their scripts. Pass the available ones to me first. This will give me enough time to grade them.”
“All right, Mr. Baxter. I'll return to class now.” Wendy turned and walked away.
“Hold on for a second,” Donovan called out to her. Without any expression, he asked, “When did you arrive here?”
Wendy felt her heart racing. She pinched her arm in an attempt to calm herself down. “Just a short while ago. Mr. Baxter, is there anything that I can help you with?”
Donovan gazed warily at Wendy again.
As Wendy appeared unbothered, he brushed away his suspicion and nodded. “Don't worry about it. You may leave now. By the way, the test is held
tomorrow. At the end of the month, I will bring the ones ranked in the top three to Maxwell University for the first round of written tests. I don't think you will have a problem achieving top three, but I'm just telling you beforehand for your own mental preparation.”
