Not My Husband Anymore novel Chapter 41

chapter41

Claudine, who could have remained Mrs. Barrette, was now working as a maid for a professor?

No matter how Audrey thought about it, it just didn’t seem possible.

Adriana explained.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense. That’s my former student, Claudine.

Don’t be fooled by her youth; her academic research is no less impressive than yours.

“I won’t sugarcoat it–this year’s PhD spot, you won’t be able to compete with her.”

Adriana had always been straightforward, never one for beating around the bush.

She did appreciate Audrey, but compared to Claudine’s talent, there was still a significant gap.

Upon hearing this, Audrey didn’t seem discouraged at all; instead, she still smiled sweetly.

“Then Ms. Hogan must be truly outstanding in her academic research. I should learn from her.”

Adriana hadn’t expected this young woman to be so magnanimous, and her gaze grew even more appreciative.

“Claudine is the most talented person I’ve ever met. Even if you can’t study under me, if you have the chance to be around Claudine, you will benefit greatly.”

Raymon, standing by, urged them on.

“Let’s go eat. If the coconut chicken is overcooked, it won’t taste good.”

Audrey, being perceptive, noticed that they had no intention of asking her to stay, so she spoke up.

“Prof. Nixon, I know you already have a suitable candidate in mind for your PhD student, but getting into your pro- gram is my greatest wish. May I give it a try?”

Adriana replied, “Of course! I recruit students from all backgrounds. As long as you have the ability, feel free to ap- ply!”

Audrey said, “Thank you, Prof. Nixon. Then I won’t disturb you any longer. Goodbye!”

She smiled and bid farewell to everyone, but as she turned to leave, the smile on her face had completely vanished.

At that moment, only the strap of her bag knew how much she was holding back!

She truly hadn’t expected Claudine to be Adriana’s prized student.

Judging by Adriana’s tone, this PhD spot was clearly reserved for Claudine.

She had seen Claudine host auctions and knew she was indeed capable.

But artifact restoration and auctioneering were two completely different things!

She simply couldn’t believe that Claudine was as brilliant as Adriana claimed.

If she were truly that talented, how could she have been willing to stay with the Barrette family for five years!

Besides, didn’t Prof. Palmer just call her a “little housekeeper“?

It was probably just that she was good at serving people and winning them over.

But in academic research, being good at serving people was hardly enough!

Audrey was confident she could surpass Claudine professionally.

However, she still needed to let Damian know about this.

His wife, just to get into a PhD program, was actually willing to work as a housekeeper for a professor. If Damian knew about her lowering herself like this, he would never agree!

Audrey went straight to Damian’s company.

“Dami, I’m at your company now.”

She sent a voice message on her phone.

Not long after, the receptionist’s phone rang.

“Alright, Ms. Powell!”

The receptionist put down the phone and walked over to Audrey.

“Ms. Lavigne, the president is not in the office right now. Please take the president’s private elevator and wait for him in his office.”

“Thank you!”

Audrey spoke politely, but her demeanor already made it clear she saw herself as the president’s wife of the Barrette Group.

She walked ahead, waiting for the receptionist to press the elevator button for her.

Claudine had thought her mother would be waiting at the airport, but on the way she received a call from Lindsay, saying her mother was now downstairs at the Barrette Group.

She immediately turned her car around and headed to the Barrette Group.

As soon as she entered the lobby, she saw that familiar figure.

Damian’s matchmaking candidate.
