They had never seen that type of mineral composition before. Even the most active student in class,Kaya, didn’t have an answer to this one. She lowered her head to avoid the vice dean’s eyes.

After a whole minute, there was still no response. The vice dean sighed and shook his head indisappointment.

“How is it possible that no one among what seems to be the best students in the Jewellery Departmentof Preagend University can answer this question?” he inquired, bewildered.

This was the vice dean’s first class with them, and they were all so eager to make an impression at thebeginning of the class.

“This mineral can form white quartzite.”

Millie’s audible voice rang out from her seat.

The white quartzite had a few rare impurities, but its texture was smooth, and it could be used to makejewellery. Millie had learned a lot about its mineral composition before.

Just as soon, the vice dean’s laughter echoed in the classroom.

“I knew it! I knew that at least one person would know the answer. Millie, great work. You are anexcellent student.”

Kaya bit her lower lip discreetly as she watched Millie steal the spotlight that was hers. She could seehow the vice dean stared at Millie, clearly impressed.

After class, Millie went to the bathroom. When she was about to go out, Kaya stood in her path andblocked her.

“Millie, you should be ashamed and pack your bags. Leave this school immediately!” Kaya tried tosound intimidating. Millie tilted her head slightly and squinted her eyes at the other woman. “If Iremember correctly, you’re not the department dean, nor the school president to tell me to leave. Youhave no authority here. You’re just upset and jealous that I could answer a question you couldn’t. Iguess losing to me this time will be detrimental for you, huh?”

Kaya blushed, embarrassed for being called out. Indeed, she was ashamed that Millie who didn’t havethe same level of education as her could answer a question she couldn’t.

It made her feel insecure for some reason.

Kaya had no idea that Millie put in ten times more effort than her when they both enrolled at PreagendUniversity. While Kaya played, Millie studied diligently, and while Kaya slept, Millie read using aflashlight. She never stopped studying. ere Are We Going To Have Dinner

“You must be naive if you think that learning only takes place within the four walls of a school. Thereare opportunities to learn everywhere. You just need to have the desire to learn. You need to work hardand be open to learn from others. That’s how you gain knowledge and skills. It’s important to recognizethat there are many people outside of school who may be more knowledgeable than you.”

“Who are you to try and teach me how things are supposedly done when I’ll be joining the ThomasGroup as the top-ranked candidate in two weeks? Don’t brag because you’re only fortunate todaythanks to your connections,” Kaya retorted.

Millie walked past her and left. She had no time to waste on Kaya.

In the evening, Marcus’ car pulled up in the hotel parking lot.

In the driver’s seat, Derek was answering a phone call that sounded serious.

In the back seat, Marcus squinted his eyes, his expression and mood instantly changing.

“So? What’s the outcome?” he asked about the investigation.
