Dr. South?
Keira thought, “Why didn’t I know that I was to recruit Isla?”
Professor Miller also exclaimed, “You know Dr. South?”
Isla gave a slight smile, “It’s such a coincidence. My mom helped Dr. South get through school back in the day, so after Dr. South succeeded, he found my family and said that my mom was his lifesaver. For the past few years, he has been providing technical support to our company. He wouldn’t refuse any of my requests.”
Keira raised her eyebrows slightly.
When she was young in the Olsen family, she relied on Mrs. Olsen’s care to grow up.
Therefore, after she had her own career, she contacted Mrs. Olsen under the name “Dr. South” and invented that story so that she could have a reason to repay Mrs. Olsen’s kindness.
For the past few years, she had been helping Mrs. Olsen’s companies with any technical issues for free.
But when did she become so compliant with Isla’s requests?
That was such an exaggeration.
However, Professor Miller believed Isla. “Where is Dr. South teaching now?”
Isla replied, “I promised the dean that I would invite Dr. South to teach at our university.”
“That’s great!” Professor Miller was overjoyed and looked at Keira. “Keira, your research direction is the same as Dr. South’s. When the time comes, I’ll introduce you to him. If Dr. South is willing to speak for you, there might still be hope for your postgraduate recommendation!”
Isla pretended to be worried. “Professor Miller, are you sure? The Horton family is the richest family in Oceanion, and they allocate a lot of research funds to our university every year…”
Professor Miller didn’t take this seriously. “Dr. South is in high demand now. I heard that foreign universities like Heddon University and Oxford have all sent him invitations, and many businesses want to invest in him. If Dr. South is willing to step up, the university will definitely choose Dr. South!”
Isla feigned a sigh. “But Dr. South is doing this for my mother’s sake. If it were for me, he would definitely help us, but Keira is my father’s illegitimate daughter and stands in opposition to my mom… Keira, should I ask Dr. South for you?”
Keira said, “Don’t bother.”
She found Isla like a clown.
Keira smiled slightly and said to Professor Miller, “Professor Miller, don’t bother. As you know, I never wanted to do postgraduate studies.”
Professor Miller was surprised, and he felt sorry for Keira.
He was the one who discovered Keira’s talent in the major, and with that, he insisted that she got a postgraduate recommendation. He didn’t expect things to reach this point.
Tears welled up in his eyes. “Then I’ll write you a job reference.”
Poppy sneered. “Don’t waste your efforts. She offended Mr. Horton, and she still wants to find a job in Oceanion? She must be dreaming.”
Professor Miller was indignant. “I don’t believe that anyone can really do whatever they want in Oceanion! If you really can’t find a job, come and be my teaching assistant! I’ll hire you!”
A warm feeling surged in Keira’s chest. She explained, “Professor, there’s just a misunderstanding between me and Mr. Horton. Everything will be fine after we clear that up. You don’t need to worry.”
Professor Miller sighed. “If you can clear up the misunderstanding, come back and be my student again.”
Keira looked at the ardent expectation on her teacher’s eyes and spoke softly, “Sure. I’ll come back.”
It would be nice to be a tutor at the University of Oceanion.
However, Isla clenched her fists.
She didn’t understand. She was an excellent student, but why did Professor Miller only value Keira, who was just an average student?!
Was this old man also mesmerized by Keira’s pretty face?
Isla was furious, but she glanced at Poppy, then suddenly said, “Keira, are you going to bother Mr. Horton again? He’s already married. It’s not right for you to do this…”
Poppy was indeed consumed by anger.
Smack!
The sound of a slap echoed in the office.
