I wasn’t entirely shocked. I knew that Alex was powerful, after all, I just didn’t expect Alex to be so… charismatic.
Mr. Augustine finally summoned up the courage to step forward. “Here’s what we’ll do, Mr. Hastings. We’ll take full responsibility for the university’s lack of oversight in this matter. Mr. Herbs lacked judgment and almost unfairly punished Ms. Ashford, so he’ll be demoted ”
He contwood, “As
y the rumors, the undersity will release the original video on our official website to clear Ms. Ashford’s name. Do you think that’s acceptable?” Alex nodded slightly before turning to look at me. “What do you think
“I think this is a
spreat,” I said and nodded fervently.
All wanted was to dispel the rumors and free myself from all the public attention. I didn’t want Alex to basically go to war on my behalf.
I was worried that Alex would end up being involved with these absurd rumors as well. Someone like him shouldn’t be stained by baseless gossip.
“Alright then. We’ll take our leave” Alex stood up and politely nodded at Mr. Augustine and Mr. Herbs.
As he walked past Julian, Alex stopped briefly. “I’m targeting the Blakes purely because I’m not happy with how you guys are acting. If you’ve still got any dignity left, stop malding things hard for Serena”
Ian’s face turned incredibly red with embarrassment.
Once we left the attice, Julian took the car keys from his assistant. “Get in.”
I watched as the assistant said goodbye to Alex and headed toward the university gate. I couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy. “Where is he going?”
Alex looked at tw. “He’s going home, of course. Am I supposed to drive him home personally?‘
So, this was the privilege of the wealthy. But there was nothing I could do outside of complaining about it silently. After all, Alex had just helped me solve a massive problem, and I was going to join Hastings Group soon.
there
we going? I couldn’t help but ask as I approached the passenger seat.
Alex got in the car. “Dinner ”

Alex brought me to a high–end restart that was owned by Hastings Group Hence, all of the staff members that we met looked at me curiously while they greeted Alex.
I wished I could just crawl into a hole. Then, I wouldn’t be stared at so much.
“What’s your take on this matter?” Alex looked at me.
I was slightly taken aback.
He continued, “This situation is clearly not as simple as it seems. There’s someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.”
Thad thought about that too. it was just that I had no idea who could be behind all this.
You should be more careful at the university.” Alex placed a piece of bref on my plate.
Inodded, and the atmosphere became quiet.
“How are your interview preparations going? Alex looked at me.
I nodded. “I’m ready, but I have a small request, Can I not join the company directly? I want to attend Hastings Group’s recruitment fair.
Mårs looked at me and said, “With your qualifications, are you sure you can even pass the recruitment process?”
I was actually not that confident, but i didn’t want to show any weakness in front of Alex. I think so. I might be a fresh graduate, but I have a very good recurd in the university.”
Alex nodded. “Alright. When you’re going through the applications, only apply for the office assistant position.”
Tasked, “Why is it some sort of errand–runner position?”
“There’ll be less competition for the rode because it’s not that popular” Alex said with a straight face.
I frowned slightly, “but I didn’t see that position listed on the company Job site
Aler sød, “You must be missed in check again once you get home.”
