The whole room was in an uproar.

“Oh, of course, no problem! The principal understood immediately. He turned to Maybelle and said, “Maybelle, this gentleman is an important quest of star whosol. Please give him a tour of the our school.”
The crowd was sturned–dad the principal really agree to such an unreasonabile request!
Maybelle narrowed her eyes slightly as the man opposite her raised an eyebrow
“Alright, sir, please follow me.”
Oscar gave a slight smile. “Appreciate it, my guide”
Standing together, they did seem like a perfect march.
The principal knew he shouldn’t follow them any further. Hesitating for a moment, he couldn’t resist asking in a low voice. “Mr. Bishop, about the Investment you promised earlier..”
Oscar glanced at Vincent, who immediately understood and said, “Regarding the investiment, I’ll handle everything from here.”
“Well, that’s good, tut’s good-“The principal’s nerves finally settled, and he beamed. “I won’t take up any more of your time. Maybelle, make sure to give this gentleman a good introduction to our school”

Everyone watched as the two of them walked away, their figures so striking together. The crowd leaned of getting to interact with such a handsome guy up close
“Wow, I’m almost crying with envy? What kind of luck does Maybelle have! I want to show a handsome guy around too!”
“Why not me? I know every corner of this school.”
“Can she r
really introduce everything clearly! Maybe I should do it instead.”
“Do you think that handsome guy might be interested in our school beauty?”
“Wouldn’t be surprised. With Mabel’s looks, what guy could resist?
“But that guy is gorgeous. I’ve never seen anyone look so good with the prom queen. They make such a perfect pair!”
“Oh no, now that you mention it, I’m totally starting to ship them.”
Some were curious about who the handsome guy was
“Am I the on
only one wondering who that guy is? The way the principal and Mr. Wilson are acting, he must be someone really important”
“Exactly! I’ve never seen the principal smile so widely, he looked like a blooming flower”
“Just look at how the principal and the others are bowing to him–he’s not an onlinary person, of course”
“Could he be a government official? Didn’t we hear that the school is getting evaluated this fall? Maybe he’s here for that”
Someone shook their head, dismissing the idea, “I don’t think so. What official would make such a big show! That suit he’s wearing is obviously custom–made, and it must cost a fortune.
“And his watch I saw that brand in a magazine before. The model he’s wearing is worth at least three million! And it looks like it’s diamond-

studded, probably a rare limited edition”
“Three million! Are you sure? So he’s a really rich guy, huh?”
“Yeah, with that aura, there’s no doubt.“
“No wonder the principal and Mr. Wilson are practically bowing down to him, sucking up like that”
“He doesn’t even look that much older than us–probably just another rich second–gen.”
Once it was confirmed that the man was a tycoon, the tone of the conversation shifted.
After all, one was the prom queen from an average family, and the other a powerful heir. It was hard not to speculate.
“Do you think he’s interested in Maybelle, like, trying to pursue her!
“Does a guy wearing a million–dollar watch need to chase after a girl? There are probably tons of women throwing themselves at him!”
“When he asked Maybelle to show him around, she seemed pretty into it–maybe she’s hoping for it inside?
“Yeah, she’s usually so cold, acting like she thinks the boys at school are beneath her. Turns out she’s just too good for us poor guys.
“Ugh. I’ve heard rich people have some wild lifestyles. Who knows what weird fetishes this guy might have? What’s gonna happen to Maybelle if she gets caught up with someone like him?”
“Are these rich folks picking their brides from schools now? That really blows my mind.”
“Wow, hearing you all talk like this, I’m glad he didn’t pick me!”
“The five bucks that guy will definitely ask Maybelle for her contact today.”
“I’ll bet ten–Maybelle will probably just give it to him voluntarily
“You guys are way too cautious. I’ll bet fifty that Maybelle will straight–up leave with him today?”
There were also those who couldn’t stand it and spoke up for Maybelle
“People with dirty minds see filth everywhere. Didn’t the inspection team visit the school before and have students show them around! completely normal thing!”
“Exactly. It was just a school tour, when a

It’s a
“Honestly. Maybelle was totally wronged today. She didn’t do anything wrong. That guy probably thought she was unfairly treated, so he made up an excuse to take her away so she wouldn’t get in trouble.”
“Some of the guys who pursued Maybelle before were rich and handsome. She didn’t agree to date them just because they had money. Your speculations are baseless?”

The chatter continued, and the two main people at the center of it
The area of Austin School wasn’t very big. There wasn’t really much to look at. Maybelle knew very well that the only reason Oscar came today was
to see her
Wearing her school uniform. Maybelle looked every bit the student, with her pretty face. She squinted slightly, tilted her head to look at Oscar, and Teasingly said. “Handsome, you actually dared to lie to me? Didn’t we agree that Assistant Vincent would handle the investment discussion?”
The sunlight filtering through the teaching building cast a soft glow on Oscar’s delicate features. Whenever he looked at Maybelle, his heart softened inexplicably.
“Too many people are eyeing my wife; I had to come check out the competition!”
Maybelle shot him a playful look, “We haven’t even tied the knot yet–who’s your wife?”
Oscar’s eyes curved, and his usually cold gaze couldn’t be any softer at this moment,
and most importantly, I kind of missed you”
