Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth
Chapter 31: She’s Taken the Bait

Gwenda paused, watching as Olivier said something to Mr. Smith, causing him to leave.

When the dean had left, Olivier went over to Gwenda with a grin. Before he could speak, however, Gwenda cut him off flatly. "Mr. Petit, my lecture is about to begin." Without giving him a chance to speak, she turned around and led Hattie towards the classrooms.

Abandoned, Olivier watched the grumpy figure of Gwenda stalking away in stunned disbelief before he burst out laughing.

His eyes twinkling with amusement, Olivier lazily made his way to the classrooms as well.

"Goodness, is she mad at me because I left without saying goodbye?"

He thought with glee.

Well, it was time to reel in his catch.

At the lifts, Gwenda was sullen. She was clearly in a bad mood.

Hattie, who was next to her, watched her warily before asking worriedly, "What's wrong, Gwenda?"

This was the first time she had seen Gwenda so angry since she started work.

"Nothing."

Gwenda replied coldly.

"You know the man from earlier?"

"I don't!"

"But there was something off about the way he looked at you."

Hearing Gwenda's answer, Hattie had an inkling of the truth. Dropping the concern, she asked inquisitively, "You really don't know him?"

Gwenda gritted her teeth. "What's with all the questions?"

"Well, doesn't matter if you know him or not, we'll be seeing him again soon."

Hattie said slowly with a grin.

Gwenda frowned. "What?"

"There, look."

Hattie pointed at the posters stuck on the lift doors.

Gwenda looked to where she was pointing, and when she saw the content of said posters, she inhaled sharply. "He's the keynote speaker of today's lecture?" "Yeah, didn't you read the information sent from before?"

Gwenda was speechless.

How on earth did she even have the time to read them when she was busy every day?

"I'm so f*cked.

How can I possibly sit through this lecture now?" Gwenda thought in despair.

After a moment of struggle, Gwenda said tentatively, "Why not we leave now?"

Right after she said that, the doors of the lift opened.

Hattie sighed and pulled her in. "Gwenda, this lecture has credits that you need to take. You can't bail on it or it will affect your graduation process."

"But..."

"There's no 'but'!"

Hattie became assertive all of a sudden. She did not want a university dropout for a boss. So, she forcibly pulled Gwenda into the lift before she could run off.

In the lift, Gwenda lifelessly stared at the flashing floor numbers as they changed. When they reached the appropriate floor, she glumly trudged after Hattie and entered her classroom. When they got in, there was little to no empty seats left. Perhaps it was due to Olivier's popularity that the classroom was so packed.

As a result, Gwenda and Hattie could only sit in the corner of the classroom.

The good thing was that the podium was a million miles away from their current position.

Gwenda felt a little relieved as there was no way in hell that Olivier would see her sitting here. "I'll just replace a time to slip away after taking my attendance."

As Gwenda was thinking that, the noisy classroom suddenly quieted down.

Under the gaze of all students, a tall figure slowly walked into the classroom. He strode confidently over to the podium and stopped before the blackboard. Gwenda heard all the girls around her gasp in unison...

"No way he's that handsome!"

"Thank the stars I came half an hour early! Olivier Petit is so my type!"

"He's definitely my type too! I wonder if we can get his contact information after class?"

Hearing their excited whispers, Gwenda frowned and grumbled. "Are they for real?"
