Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot - Chapter 781

Chapter 781: 246: Two Bosses Competing in Acting Skills_6
 

From this, one can see his ambition.

She believed that Terrence Lentz would definitely reach the peak he had during his youth in the near future.

Perhaps, even more than that.

Upon receiving Viola’s compliments, Terrence felt content and said, “Viola, wait a moment. My boss might have something to ask me, I’ll be right back.”

“Alright.” Viola nodded slightly.

Terrence walked to his assistant and whispered a few words.

The voice was so low only the two of them could hear it.

Upon hearing it, the assistant was dumbfounded.

Before the assistant could react, Terrence had already walked back towards Viola.

The two of them began to get busy.

Their figures weaving through the crowd.

The assistant swallowed hard.

If he hadn’t seen it himself, he wouldn’t have believed it even if someone else told him it was true.

Soon, the cocktail party was over.

Terrence walked to his assistant’s side.

“Boss, let’s go.”

Boss?

The assistant felt like he was going to die.

But Viola happened to be nearby, so he couldn’t let her see through their act.

The assistant nodded and stepped forward.

At times like this, silence is the best answer.

After all, some big shots are naturally aloof and unwilling to engage in small talk.

Even if the assistant had never eaten pork, he had at least seen pigs run.

Terrence turned to look at Viola, “Viola, I’m going home first.”

“Alright,” Viola instructed, “Be careful on the road, Terrence.”

“Don’t worry.”

A play has to be acted out to completion.

Soon they arrived at the underground parking garage.

Terrence opened the car door, “Boss, please.”

The moment the assistant stepped into the car, his feet trembled.

How terrifying!

Could this be his last time appearing before his boss?

Shortly after.

Terrence closed the car door.

Bang.

With the sound of the car door closing, the assistant took a deep breath, cold sweat dripping down his back, “Sir, I’m sorry, I – shall I drive instead?”

“Remember, now you’re my boss, play your part well.” Terrence carefully enunciated each word.

“Alright… alright…” The assistant licked his dry lips.

During the whole ride, it felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Finally, they arrived at Terrence’s residence.

At the moment he stepped out of the car, the assistant’s clothes started to drip with sweat.

Terrence locked the car and turned to leave.

Only when Terrence’s figure disappeared in the distance did the assistant collapse to the ground, gasping for air, feeling an ecstatic sense of having escaped death.

Exciting.

It was just too thrilling!

It felt like he had a close encounter with death.

As soon as Terrence arrived home, he sent a text message to Viola.

[I’m home.]

It just so happened that Viola had just arrived home too. She sent Terrence a picture of herself holding a milk tea. [Finally got to drink milk tea!]

If she had known that not only was there no blue moon grass at the party, but also no milk tea, she would have refused even if Terrence had invited her.

[Drinking now, aren’t you afraid of not being able to sleep?]

[It’s fine, I’m used to it.]

[By the way, is your leg better now?]

[Much better, don’t worry about it.]

Although Terrence said he was much better, Viola could tell.

His recovery wasn’t very good.

There was always the possibility that he might not be able to stand up at any moment.

Thinking about this, Viola frowned slightly.

It seemed that finding blue moon grass was now more urgent than ever.

Only by finding blue moon grass can there be a chance of curing Terrence’s leg injury.

…

Soon, it was the day Viola started school.

Samuel Thompson, Mandel Thompson, and their cousin Harry Thompson personally sent Viola to Capital University to register for classes.

After more than five hours on the plane, they finally arrived on Nine Continent Island.

Upon getting off the plane.

Worried that Viola wouldn’t be used to the food at school, Mary Perryne prepared five large boxes of food for her.

At this moment, Samuel, Mandel, and Harry, the three brothers, were each holding two large boxes in their hands and had backpacks on their shoulders, looking very much like porters.

Viola walked ahead, holding a milk tea in her left hand and another milk tea in her right hand. Because the climate on Nine Continent Island was hot, she wore a straw hat and sunglasses. Her chin was raised slightly, her back straight, and she looked like a queen.

They soon arrived at the dormitory.

A standard four-person room.

Viola was the first to arrive.

Viola opened the box containing her clothes and prepared to take out her sheets to make the bed.

This time was different from the preliminary exam period.

For the preliminary exams, there was no need to bring anything, while for the official start of the semester, students needed to prepare their own sheets and pillowcases.

Samuel took out the sheets before Viola could, “Little sister, sit down for a moment. I’ll make the bed.”

Meanwhile, Mandel took out a water bottle, “Viola, I’ll go find where the hot water room is and get a bottle of hot water.”

Harry took out a mop, “I’ll mop the floor.”

The dormitory had been empty for the whole summer vacation, and a layer of dust had accumulated on the floor. The air smelled unpleasant.

“Then I’ll wipe the table.” Viola was about to grab a cloth when Samuel, who had made the bed, stopped her, “Viola, sit down and rest for a bit. I’ll do it.”

“What should I do then?” Viola asked.

Harry, who had just finished washing the mop in the bathroom, said with a smile, “You don’t have to do anything, just focus on looking pretty.”

Samuel laughed, “Your brother is right, Viola. All you need to do now is focus on being pretty and leave the rest to us.”

After all, Viola would be living in the dormitory for a long time, and she would have many more days to clean it.

On the other hand, they could only help Viola clean for one day.

Moreover, a little sister is more suitable for being pampered.

Meanwhile, in Vice Principal Denton’s office.

“Vice Principal Denton, have the dormitory arrangements been made?”

In front of Vice Principal Denton sat a girl exuding an air of nobility.

Blonde hair, blue eyes.

She wore a modified version of traditional Western clothing created by a famous designer, clearly indicating her extraordinary background.

Upon hearing this, Vice Principal Denton replied with a smile, “Miss Nako, rest assured, we have prepared your dormitory long ago. A luxury single room, guaranteed to ensure no one disturbs you during your rest time.”

Nako Garcia, a born aristocrat.

As an aristocrat, she naturally couldn’t share a dormitory with commoners.

How could Nako Garcia compare to those rough-skinned commoners?

Upon hearing this, Nako Garcia frowned slightly, “Didn’t Vinnie tell you? I don’t need special treatment.”

Vice Principal Denton replied with a smile, “But your status is different from theirs, after all. If they offend you, how am I to explain to Mr. Garcia?”

Nako Garcia looked at Vice Principal Denton, her tone gentle yet firm, “From now on, Vice Principal Denton, you can treat me as an ordinary person. Not only do I want to stay in a four-person dormitory, but I also want to share it with that Sinian person who scored full marks.”
