Indeed, today Cherise was dressed in a chic and elegant business outfit.
Her upper body was covered with a matte satin cream blouse with mid–length sleeves and a V–neck design that flowed with a silky grace.
She wore a knee–length, coffee–colored skirt with pleats that highlighted her slim waist. Her slightly wavy, long hair flowed naturally like seaweed.

[Is such a young woman really a professor? And in traditional medicine? I’m a bit doubtful.]
[I agree with the person above; although she’s beautiful, I can’t believe she’s a professor.]
Wow, do people still judge others by looks these days? Isn’t this openly doubting the judgment of these top–notch experts?]
[Everyone, stop arguing, and let’s listen to what this amazing woman has to say next.]
Betrico University’s audiorium. Jacob, Mandy, Shirley, and Jeffrey felt like they had been struck by lightning when Cherise stepped onto the stage.
Their minds went blank, and they just stared at the stage, speechless.
In the third row, Melissa watched Cherise on stage with envy burning in her heart. From the moment she first saw didn’t like this stunning woman who made her jealous.
She felt a strange sense of familiarity, like that side profile from a photo, but a thousand times more beautiful.
