Eilies glanced over, curiosity piqued.
Mr. Richard explained with a grin, "The school has decided to award Flora her diploma and degree, and we've
invited her to be an honorary professor at the University of Maple Grove to give lectures." He paused, chuckling,
"But if Flora wants to join the end-of-term competition, she's more than welcome."
It would be like sending a pro player into a gwith beginners-the poor kids wouldn't stand a chance.
"No, thanks," Flora said, sipping her milk leisurely.
As the milk touched her lips, she paused briefly, then a knowing smile danced in her eyes. Only Connor could
nail her taste like this.
Eilies and Cynthia were left speechless with shock. Flora, who started school with them, was now an honorary
professor while they were still sweating over finals. Talk about a reality check!

"Guess we'll have to start calling her Professor Shen now!" Darcy sighed, "Professor Shen, I've written two papers
recently. Could you spare stto look them over?"
Their Flora was in a league of her own when it cto academic papers.
Hearing 'Professor Shen’, Flora shot a cool glance at Darcy, then said, "Depends on my mood."
After dinner, they all headed out together.
Outside the Golden Hotel, eight sleek Rolls-Royces were lined up neatly. Connor stood by the lead car, his eyes
steady as he watched the entrance.
The Golden Hotel was no stranger to wealthy guests, but this display even turned heads among the usual crowd.
Connor was quite the sight to behold, drawing the gaze of many passing women. Jules and Mr. Richard were
equally taken aback, "Wow, that's sserious wealth..."
"Flora," Jules sidled up to her, rubbing his hands together, "Your fiancé is loaded!"
Flora looked at him blankly, "Short on cash, are we?"
Jules chuckled, the embodiment of a cheeky old-timer. "Running a little low on research funds."
"I'll wire you ten billion. Just doa favor and stay out of my sight for a bit."
As they talked, Connor approached Flora, noticing her chilly hands and gently slipping gloves onto them.
"Let's head out." Flora waved to Jules and the gang, then climbed into the car with Connor.
Jules and the others followed into the remaining Rolls-Royces. Riding in such luxury was indeed a treat. "Connor,
was that milk your doing?" Flora asked, resting her head on Connor's shoulder in the car.
"Mhm," Connor nodded, then handed
her his phone to show their chat with Ray. He hoped she'd notice. Ray's "your wife" comment, but Flora zeroed in
on the "six million extravagant meal" part.
She snorted, "Complaining over six million? What a tightwad."

Connor saw she missed the point and quietly took back his phone. Flora, oblivious, pulled out her tablet to help
Darcy with his papers.
Two days later at the University of Maple Grove.
Blake sat at her desk, distracted. Today was the big announcement day-after today, she could finally drop the
‘associate’ from her title and officially beca full O professor.
She kept refreshing the website, but no news yet. She figured the results would be in by afternoon.
"What's up with Flora? The
competition's done, so why hasn't
she checked back in at the
university?" Blake frowned at the student attendance report in her. hands. She was an associate
professor in the medical school and occasionally handled student attendance.
"Oh, that's because Flora-"
