Chapter 194Suddenly, Berry appeared and shifted the topic back to Shakira. The group was silent for a moment before Berry sent another line. [Yvette effortlessly got second place in the grade, so the Lopez Group internship slot is pretty much guaranteed.] [Wow! Yvette got second in the grade? She never placed this high before!] [During finals week, I often saw Yvette and Joe studying early in the library. They are the most inspiring couple on campus!][I also heard that Joe is the top student in his department. It seems like being with outstanding people makes you outstanding too!] [Wow, I’m so jealous. That’s the power of love!] [Congratulations, Yvette!][Since Yvette is second in her grade, who’s first? Why hasn’t anyone shared the news yet?] [Probably someone who got lucky this time and jumped up from the middle.] The class chat was buzzing for a while before Yvette finally showed up. Yvette continued her humble and polite act. [Thank you, everyone. My progress is all thanks to Joe’s tutoring. All my classmates are excellent, and I guess luck played a big part this time.]Yvette’s little fan group chimed in excitedly. [Oh, it’s so sweet! Joe put in so much effort to help you prepare for exams. That’s pure love!][Joe has always doted on Yvette. That’s what real love is.][Some people tried to hit on Yvette’s boyfriend before. Now karma’s caught up with her, and she can’t even hold onto her top spot in the grade. That’s hilarious!][Haha, Joe and Yvette have been together for years. She can’t break them up just like that!] Everyone knew they were hinting at Shakira.After all, the whole school was buzzing back then about Joe and Mitchell getting into a fight over Shakira.Later, Yvette appeared again and tried to be the peacemaker claiming everything was just a misunderstanding, and asking others to stop talking about it. Shakira couldn’t help but find it funny. Xanthe: [Finished reading? If they find out you’re at the top of the class again, won’t they go crazy? Hahaha!] Shakira thought about the scene, feeling a bit embarrassed for them. [Probably.][Oh, I can’t wait!] Xanthe sent an emoji and then a voice message. Her laughter was unrestrained, full of anticipation for drama.”This afternoon at the assembly, Patrick will personally draw lots to announce the internship list. I just can’t wait to see their twisted, furious faces!” She said.Shakira raised an eyebrow and said, “I didn’t expect you to keep your cool this time. You’re just waiting for this?””What else? If I wasn’t waiting to embarrass them this afternoon, I’d have already posted your grades everywhere!” said Xanthe.Shakira couldn’t help but praise Xanthe. “Not bad, you’ve matured.” Xanthe chuckled, “Of course! I mean, with a bestie like you, I had to level up.” Shakira’s smile widened. Honestly, Xanthe was becoming more charming by the day. Taking the chance to announce the final exam results and the internship drawing list, the school was hosting a big parent-teacher meeting in the auditorium.

Enrique drove over with Xanthe, and the two leaned out from the car to wave at Shakira. “Ms. Nelson!” “Shakira!”1/307:28 Mon, Nov 4 Chapter 194Shakira got into the car and said, “Hello, Mr. Sullivan.” Enrique responded cheerfully, looking at Shakira through the rearview mirror. He seemed kind and gentle. “Ms. Nelson, why don’t you join us later?”86%+5″Sure, thank you, Mr. Sullivan,” said Shakira. “No need to thank me. It’s my pleasure to help out Ms. Nelson,” said Enrique.Xanthe waved her hand and said, “Alright, hurry up and drive, or we’ll end up in the back later.” Enrique chuckled and started the car.On the way, Xanthe was chatting constantly, already picturing how many people would be astonished when Shakira, the top student in their grade, took the stage! Shakira sat next to her, listening and occasionally replying. Walter also sent a message. [Are you going to school? Why not have Levi go with you?] Shakira replied. [No need. It’s just a lucky draw.]Walter: [Judging by your tone, you’re not looking forward to your internship company?] Shakira: [No matter where I go, I’m just a hardworking employee.]But after considering it, she preferred to join Yonder Digital. After all, Sean had managed Yonder Digital the whole time, and as one of the founders, she felt a bit guilty for not contributing as much as the diligent Sean. Shakira assured that there was no hidden meaning in her words. It was simply a lighthearted joke. Unexpectedly, after a moment, Walter replied. [Then come to the Lopez Group. It’ll make you a happy employee.] Shakira was puzzled. [Why?] Just after she sent the message, Walter’s voice reply popped up.Shakira held her phone to her ear, and Walter’s low, raspy chuckle came through. “A job where you can see me all the time. Doesn’t that make you happy?”Shakira immediately put her phone down, her face turning bright red with heat. She was too flustered to even glance at Xanthe. Luckily, Xanthe was busy on her phone and didn’t notice Shakira’s reaction. Walter was so shameless! Shakira criticized him harshly.wever, the relentless beating of her heart conveyed a silent yet genuine sense of delight, a joy her body instinctively ponded to. She placed her hand on her chest and smiled slightly.In the school auditorium, students and parents were seated by their department. By the time Enrique led Shakira and Xanthe inside, most of the front seats were taken, leaving just one row of empty seats. Xanthe led them over, but just as they were about to sit, a woman’s voice came from behind. “Sorry, I asked a friend to save these seats for me.”Shakira turned around and saw Rebecca, elegantly dressed, standing there with Yvette holding her arm. Xanthe gave a mocking smile. “Is this a train or a plane? Did you pay for these seats? Don’t you know it’s first come, first served?” Yvette’s face changed slightly at Xanthe’s comeback. She bit her lip and hid beside Rebecca, looking pitiful.Rebecca’s disdainful gaze passed over Xanthe and rested on Shakira’s blank face. “I heard you flunked this test. Well, you can’t be lucky every time, right?”She gave orders like she was commanding a group of strays. “Yvette ranked second in her grade. Soon, the top ten will go on stage, each drawing lots with Patrick overseeing it. Those who didn’t perform well, head to the back.”2/3
