Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1643

After a night had passed, Skyler had carefully tucked away the hurt in her heart.

Come afternoon, she arrived punctually at the location designated by her college advisor. Some students were practicing their lines, while others were rehearsing their acts; everyone was busy with their own tasks.

Only Skyler found herself waiting far longer than anticipated, as her partner was nowhere to be seen. She pinged her speech partner in their three-person WhatsApp group. [Hey, are you here yet?]

No response came.

Skyler glanced at the clock; they had agreed to meet at 2 PM, and it was now 2:30 PM, a full half-hour late. In life, there was little she detested more than those who didn't respect time. Even so, true to her nature, Skyler refrained from harsh words. [Hey, if you get this, please respond. We're half an hour past our meeting time. Do you know how much longer you'll be?]

She sent the message and waited some more, but still, there was silence from the other end.d2

The councelor, perhaps feeling the awkwardness of the situation, stepped in and said, [Skyler, why don't you just focus on memorizing your speech for tomorrow? Don't worry about the rest.]

Skyler replied with a simple "OK," but she harbored a tiny grudge inside.

She could handle her own tasks perfectly fine. But a two-person job, with the other failing to cooperate, meant not only their embarrassment but hers as well. She had no desire to embarrass herself in front of her peers.

If her partner was so reluctant to speak onstage, they shouldn't have agreed to the advisor in the first place. Agreeing and then showing this kind of attitude was downright infuriating.

Unable to manage the situation, Skyler simply focused on her own speech, determined to do her part impeccably, regardless of anyone else's attitude.

...

September 8th arrived.

The Capital College opening ceremony was held in the grand Capital Stadium.

Before the ceremony, the warm-up acts, "Visions of the Future" and "Seeds of Hope," not only lifted the spirits of the attendees but also gave many students like Skyler a glimpse of what could be.
