Chapter 225 A Sense of Unease
The butler was very polite. "Ms. Vanderbilt, Mr. Livingston is currently in a meeting. But he said you can call him on his private line when you wake up. He will answer."
"No need, let him focus on his meeting." Adeline smiled. "I'm off to my exam. Thank you for the coffee; it was delicious."
The butler smiled. "It's my honor to serve you, Ms. Vanderbilt."
To be taken care of by Charles and still remain so composed, Adeline was indeed extraordinary.
Adeline entered the exam room five minutes early.
Usually, afternoon exams were tough because people are less energetic.
But today, Adeline was well-rested.
She answered the questions even faster than in the morning.
By 4 PM, Adeline had finished and submitted her exams.
The grading teachers were waiting for her to finish.
After collecting the papers, Aaron announced over the PA system that Adeline's scores would be made public the next morning, and interested students could check them then.
On the other side, Nicholas, who received a message from Matteo, was initially unsure how to turn down the persistent suitors.
He was both surprised and delighted!
Looking at his phone, he calmly said, "It's not that I don't agree with you, but he already has a girlfriend."
"Mr. Livingston has a girlfriend?"
At the party in Zelphoria, the attendees suddenly broke into animated discussions.
"When did Mr. Livingston get a girlfriend?"
"That can't be true. He even broke off the engagement with the Vanderbilt Family."
"Nicholas said it himself! It must be true!"
The socialites were all discussing.
The gossip eventually reached Holly's ears.
She had come with Tessa, both dressed in evening gowns, but in completely different styles, chatting and laughing arm in arm.
At this moment, Holly didn't have her usual superior demeanor. Standing next to Tessa, her bright eyes dimmed upon hearing about this rumor.
"It's Holly, stop talking."
In Zelphoria, no woman wasn't interested in Charles.
They were intrigued but intimidated, feeling that Charles was unfathomable and unattainable despite being the same age.
Holly was almost unique in this regard.
She was like an innocent girl, with her crush known to everyone.
Tessa, not wanting to see her sad, patted her shoulder. "Don't overthink it. I know Charles; he wouldn't let any girl get close to him."
Let alone date someone, that was impossible.
Holly felt a strong sense of unease but couldn't rush things, biting her lip. "It's okay if he's dating. It's okay as long as I can watch him from afar."
"I don't expect him to notice me." The more Holly said, the more it tugged at people's hearts.
Other women expressed their support for her. Compared to some unknown girl, they would naturally side with Holly.
At least she was from the Vanderbilt Family.
Tessa, however, frowned, not voicing her thoughts.
If Charles really had a girlfriend, it must be someone he chose himself.
No one could influence Charles' choice.
She had supported Holly before because Charles was single.
If Charles really had a girlfriend, it would be inappropriate if Holly continued like this.
A crush was one thing, but you couldn't covet someone else's boyfriend.
But seeing everyone's reaction, it seemed they didn't realize anything was wrong. They even supported Holly and belittled an unseen girl.
How strange.
