Post-speech, hunger drove the attendees toward the cafeteria. In contrast, the masked girl approached the stage, her design in hand, with an apologetic tone.
“Professor, I apologize for the intrusion. Could you assess the necklace I’ve crafted?”
At the time, Louis’ stomach growled audibly, and he sighed in response. She was truly a dedicated student.
The necklace’s design, indicative of her talent in jewelry craftsmanship, had captured his attention.

His stay at Preagend University extended to three days, and for the entirety of that period, Millie persistently sought his guidance on her work. At the outset, Louis found himself somewhat irritated. He disliked disturbances during his downtime.
Additionally, he’d heard rumors that Millie was unattractive, and his own preference leaned toward beauty.
He presented a condition: he would guide her in exchange for seeing her face.
People were perpetually intrigued by the enigmatic, even if she was indeed unattractive. Louis yearned to ascertain the truth firsthand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMillie acquiesced, though stipulating that she would only unveil her face before his departure. His reaction was one of intense frustration, punctuated by an angry foot stomp. This girl was smart.
Soon enough, regret gnawed at him. He should not have agreed to her terms. The reality he encountered when she removed her mask was far from the anticipated ugliness.
She was anything but unattractive.
In fact, she eclipsed the renowned and talented Nancy in both design prowess and physical allure.
Guided by the president, Louis ambled across the campus with Millie trailing behind. This was followed by a communal dinner.
Around the grand round table, university leaders convened. Millie sat rigidly, feeling the weight of the occasion.
A vacant chair caught Millie’s attention, leaving her to ponder who was yet to arrive. The president was present, yet this individual remained conspicuously absent. Arrogance seemed to underlie this delay.
A few moments later, dishes were served, and the table was set for dinner.
Apologizing, the president addressed Louis, saying, “A guest is en route. Kindly bear with us momentarily.”
