NovelStartChapter 222 Sebastian was surrounded too. Most of the conversations people started with him were about potential collaborations.
Evelyn slipped away for speace and quiet. She was a little hungry, so she picked up a plate of desserts to nibble on.
Feeling thirsty, she scanned the drinks available. She could not tell which ones were low in alcohol, so she reached for a drink that looked more like juice.
A slender hand pressed lightly over the rim of the glass.
Evelyn looked up, and her eyes met Lucas' deep gaze. Her expression went cold immediately out of instinct. Lucas did not seem to mind her expression and moved the drink aside. "Aren't you alcohol intolerant?" Evelyn frowned slightly, not knowing how to respond for a second.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was not wrong. She was alcohol intolerant, though not severely.
What surprised Evelyn was that he was aware of it, though Lucas had always been observant. Even if he had always been distant during their three years of marriage, it was not hard to believe he would remember such a detail.
She let go of the drink without another word.
Lucas was probably here to grab a drink himself. Seeing that she did not speak up, he glanced at the drinks and passed her a different glass.
"Have this instead," he said and walked off with a glass of wine as if he had only helped her while he was at it. Evelyn looked down at her glass of juice with a slight frown. No more emotions stirred within her.
At that moment, Graham entered the venue.
The evening's key guest had arrived.
Sebastian broke free from the crowd and cto find Evelyn. "Con, let's go talk to him. Tell him what you've been reading lately." Graham believed that as long as Evelyn reviewed the material, she would have no problems with it.
Graham had refused to take in any new students for three straight years, just because Evelyn had given up on her studies.
This year, she decided to try again, and Graham immediately freed up a spot in his program, prepared just for her.
Evelyn responded flatly, "Lucas and the others are already there." Sebastian turned around.
Sure enough, Lucas had brought Tiffany straight to Graham.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith him leading the way, the others naturally gave them space.
Lucas was polite and reserved, but he did not hesitate to engage in small talk with Graham for Tiffany.
Sebastian let out a slight sneer. "He donated 200 million to the Aerospace Research Institute just so Tiffany could meet Dad, and now he's here in person with her to talk to him. He's really giving his all." He tugged Evelyn forward. "They can talk about whatever they want. Let's join in the fun." They had just approached when they heard Tiffany's voice.
"Professor Hill, I heard from Lucas that you're planning to accept a student this year. Althought've m already completed my master's degree in Erana, the journey of learning never ends. I would like to apply for the spot and continue my studies under you." Evelyn's expression turned cold instantly.
Lucas already knew about it and was here to secure the spot for Tiffany!
There was no need for a standardized exam with direct m Kam applications. An interview would suffice. But Graham only opened up one spot this year.
Evelyn looked at Tiffany, shocked, before shifting her gaze to the calm Lucas.
He did not bother anyone else around him and simply turned to Graham "Professor Hill, Tiffany has real talent. I hope you'll consider her for the position."
