NovelApexChapter 436 Are You Serious Hayley's POV: Finished Noticing my confused expression, Professor Cain began to explain. "Here's the situation. My team and I have been working on a significant research project for the past couple of years, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining us." Before I could respond, the administrator standing nearby gasped in disbelief. "Professor Cain, are you serious? "From what I understand, your research topics are national priorities. Even teaching assistants don't typically get a chance to participate in them. Hayley's just a freshman-how could she possibly handle something like this?" But Professor Cain simply smiled and replied, "That's exactly why I'm confident in her potential. She's young, and that's what we need-fresh energy and new ideas. We can't keep relying on us older folks. Don't you agree, Hayley?" I snapped out of my shock.
I knew how important these research projects were and how rare an opportunity this was.
But my life was already packed to the brim-between my responsibilities as the Alpha of the Shadow Pack, a race car driver, a multinational business owner, and a leader of an underground organization. I didn't have the tto commit to something so demanding.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtResearch required total focus and dedication, body and soul. And frankly, I didn't have the energy to spare.
After a moment of thought, I politely turned him down. "I'm sorry, Professor Cain, but I don't think I can join your team." The office fell silent, and I could see even Professor Cain's smile slowly fade.
He persisted, "If you have any concerns, feel free to share them. Or, if you need more tto think, I understand. Take a couple of days to consider, and letknow your decision." I opened my mouth to respond, but he quickly interrupted. "Let's leave it for today. No rush. Take your time. When you're ready, cand find me." I understood what he meant. After a brief hesitation, I nodded.
"Alright, I'll give it serious thought." Seeing my response, Professor Cain's expression brightened considerably. "That's great! Now go ahead and get to work. You've got a speech to prepare for the opening ceremony tomorrow, so get back to it." I nodded, said my goodbyes, and left the office.
Back in my dorm, I sat down and began working on my speech.
Before long, my phone buzzed in my pocket.
1/2 Sat, Jan 18 D 95%1 Chapter 436 Are You Serious I glanced at the time. I was almost done with my speech, so I decided to take a break and head out.
At the east gate, I spotted Christine waving from outside a restaurant. "Hayley, over here!" I hurried over, and we walked inside and sat down.
As we talked about the latest events in our departments a tall guyo m approached our table. He turned to Christine and asked, "Hey, can I get your Instagram handle?"
Christine, looking uninterested, replied coolly, "Sorry I'm not really into social media." Undeterred, the guy asked, "How about your phone number?" "I don't have a phone," she responded, still calm.
But the guy wasn't giving up, pressing further.
I was just about to step in and help Christine get rid of him when a male Loile voice suddenly interrupted. Looking O for my selected mate's phone number? How about I give it to you instead?" Finished 2.2K
