Soon, a petite figure in a pink tracksuit jogged up and playfully said something to Clement and George before sticking out her tongue.

Clement tapped the brim of the baseball cap on her head with a fond smile, then turned and spotted Anneliese not far away. He quickly raised his hand and waved at her.

“Prof. Clocke, Anne is over there.”

Clement took a step forward, bent slightly, and pointed toward Anneliese as he spoke to Alexander. Everyone turned to look.

“Wow! Clement, you only said a talented senior was joining us. You didn’t say she was this pretty. She looks more like a celebrity.”

The girl in the baseball cap, who was walking at the back, made a surprised remark as she looked at Anneliese.

“Pretty, right? Our junior… well, no, now you’re our junior. Back then, Anne was the campus beauty at our school. Of course she’s pretty. But Gianna, you’re not bad either. You’re both pretty,” Clement said with a grin.

Gianna lifted her chin. “Who cares about that? If we’re comparing, let’s compare profe skills.”

“Then you probably won’t win.”

Quinton stood to the side, heard her words, and cut in. That instantly made Gianna raise her fist at him in annoyance.

Quinton wanted to say more, but stopped when he saw Anneliese walking toward them. He made a gesture of zipping his mouth and looked at her with bright eyes.

Gianna started to speak, but stayed quiet when she saw everyone watching Anneliese approach.

Alexander was nearly seventy, with half of his hair white. He was of medium height, but his back was straight. He wore black–rimmed glasses, and the deep lines on his face made him look strict when he wasn’t smiling.

Being stared at by him, Anneliese felt like a kid who had gotten in trouble and was sent to stand before the principal.

Her steps were stiff, and when she finally stopped in front of them, she seemed nervous and

unsure.

It was Quinton who stepped forward and broke the awkward silence. “Anneliese, those flowers look nice. Are they for me? Then I’ll gladly take them.”

As he spoke, he reached for the flowers, but his elbow lightly nudged Anneliese’s back, pushing her closer to Alexander.

Holding the bouquet tightly, Anneliese stumbled a little and stopped right in front of him.

Even though she had been emailing with him these past weeks, she still felt nervous and short of breath.

“Prof. Clocke…”

“What? These flowers aren’t for me?”

“They are! I picked them one by one. They’re tulips, which are Mrs. Clocke’s favorite.” Anneliese quickly held out the bouquet.

“Hey, you give me flowers, but choose what Angela likes? Who are you really giving them to?” Alexander pretended to be upset and didn’t take them.

Anneliese laughed nervously and was about to explain, but a pale hand reached out and took the bouquet.

“Prof. Clocke, I can answer that. Since you and Mrs. Clocke have such a good relationship, if these flowers make her happy, then you’ll be happy too. If you’re happy, then Anneliese won’t be scared of you being mad. So don’t keep that stern face. You’re scaring her.”

It was Gianna. She pushed the bouquet into Alexander’s hands as she spoke.

Alexander instinctively took it and glared at her.

“You always think you know everything.”

Gianna giggled, turned to Anneliese, and winked. “See? Prof. Clocke took your flowers. That means he won’t be angry anymore.”

She held out her hand. “Hello, Anneliese. I’m Gianna Malone.”

Anneliese looked at the hand in front of her, reached out to shake it, and smiled.
