Hera suddenly remembered what Bernard said earlier and quickly pushed him away.
"Yes. It's not right to start dating at my age! Professor Killian, you should be a role model."
After saying that, Hera opened the car door and quickly got out. She knew she couldn't win this game. If she continued, she would only get herself burned.
Bernard could only watch her retreating figure in the car, a smile playing on his lips.
As soon as Hera entered the classroom, Katie pulled her aside to complain, "Boss, you're finally in school! I thought you wouldn't come anymore. Since you got that admission, you've changed. You don't even attend school anymore.
"You're just like those scumbags who show their true colors after winning over their target."
Hera was speechless.
"I still need to take the final exam, graduate, and complete the paperwork for next year's enrollment," Hera said as she sat down at the desk.
The New Year's holiday was approaching. The school curriculum had been completed, so it was also time for the final exams.
In shock, Katie followed her and asked, "You're doing that now? Are you not returning to school after the New Year?"
Hera hummed in confirmation.
"No! Does this mean that this is the last time I'll see you? I'll never see you again after this?" Katie cried as she realized the implications.
"I'm going to miss you so much. What will I do without you?"
Hera pushed Katie's face away with one hand.
"If you choose either Bradbury or Quantford for your college entrance exams, we might still have a chance to attend the same university."
Katie immediately stopped crying.
"I guess I better start getting used to not having you around."
Then, she turned around and sat properly at her own desk.
Hera could only look at her silently.
