The dormitory manager’s eyes popped out when she saw Rosemary. She instantly remembered the principal’s instructions. He’d said a stunningly beautiful girl would be reporting today; one look at her would leave her gobsmacked. No doubt, this was her!
Rosemary was slowly approaching, not even in the dormitory building yet, and the manager was already rushing out to meet her.
"Are you President Barton’s granddaughter?" The manager blurted out, then quickly covered her mouth, "Oops, my bad, I wasn’t supposed to spill. Barton wanted it kept hush-hush. Uh, you’re Rosemary Collins, right?"
"Hi."
"Hi, please come in. Are these two your parents? Come in too! And you brought bodyguards? Are they helping with the luggage?"
Rosemary knew men weren’t allowed in the girls’ dormitory, so she told her driver, "Leave the luggage here."
"No, no, let them help you with it. You’re so petite, how could you lug these heavy things around?"
The dorm manager was all smiles. She put her arm around Rosemary’s shoulder and said warmly, "Don’t worry about a thing; I’ve got your back during your college life! But there’s one thing, mate. The guys’ dorm manager gets a pay raise every three years. I’ve been here for six."
Rosemary got the hint and nodded, saying, "I’ll mention it to my grandfather."
"Great, that’s fantastic. You’re such a good kid. Now go on up and show your parents around the dorm!" The dorm manager was positively beaming now.
Overhearing their conversation, Kenneth and Louisa were completely bamboozled. What the heck was going on??
Rosemary was President Barton’s granddaughter?
Since when?
Could it be that Barton had also taken Rosemary as his granddaughter, just like Alberto?
Although they knew Barton, they didn’t have much interaction with him. Their fathers had been the ones who were close.
If they wanted Barton to take extra care of Rosemary at school, they would have to request it in their fathers’ names.
But they hadn’t even made the call yet when they heard the news.
"Rosemary, do you know President Barton?" Louisa asked as soon as they got in the elevator.
"Yeah, I do. He’s good friends with Grandpa Alberto. He’s also given me some guidance in medicine."
So that was it!
"My daughter is really popular!" Louisa was thrilled. She had no idea their daughter was this amazing.
When they reached the top floor, Rosemary pushed open the dorm door to find two girls already inside.
The two girls were chatting. They looked over at the sound of the door opening and were instantly captivated by Rosemary’s aura.
She was stunning, and her demeanor was just as impressive!
They looked at Rosemary; her eyes were beautiful, her skin fair, her figure perfect, and she radiated a powerful aura.
"Are you Rosemary or Kelly?"
Earlier, they had seen the dormitory list and knew there were two more girls; one was the perfect scorer, Rosemary, and the other was Kelly.
Rosemary’s eyes softened. "I’m Rosemary."
"You’re Rosemary? The one who always scores full marks?" Joyce Alcott was incredulous and excited.
"Are we really sharing a room with the top scorer?" The other girl, Mya Dempsey, was also extremely excited. "You’re so awesome! Hats off to you!"
How did she manage to be both beautiful and academically excellent?
Then Joyce noticed, "You didn’t bring any luggage?"
"I did."
Rosemary made her way, and the drivers outside immediately came in carrying her luggage.
Seeing the first bodyguard, Joyce mistook him for Rosemary’s dad and was about to greet him when more bodyguards filed in.
The two were flabbergasted by the show of muscle and forgot to bite into their apples.
Then a glamorous couple made their appearance.
"Hey guys, I’m Rose’s dad!"
