I’ll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 138 – An Invitation To Cooperate

While returning from Professor Gilbert's office, all of the other students seemed to be looking at Anne suspiciously. Only Linda and Vince looked relaxed when they saw Anne come in and sat down. Professor Simon also had to tap the whiteboard to catch the attention of the students who were looking at Anne, who was walking in. Realizing that the Professor was angry, the other students immediately returned to focus to the front. 

"Focus." Anne spoke silently to Linda, who was sitting next to her.

Linda cleared her throat softly in response to Anne. After returning to her chair, Anne then focused on the lessons given by Professor Simon. During the lesson, Anne was still not very focused, as she kept remembering her meeting with Leon and Steffi.

"Looks like we will definitely meet often after this," said Anne to herself as she continued to stare at the whiteboard, where Professor Simon was explaining the material.

Anne smiled to herself when she remembered what Jack had said last night. She was now sure of her goal to make the two traitors feel what she had felt before. When Anne was thinking about Leon and Steffi, Professor Simon suddenly walked closer to her. Apparently Professor Simon had been watching her from the front. He felt a little annoyed when he saw Anne was smiling even though he was giving a lesson seriously.

"Marianne, try to explain again about what I explained earlier," said Professor Simon coldly.

"Which part, Professor?" asked Anne quietly.

"Fashion from the VICTORIAN era," replied professor Simon curtly.

Hearing Professor Simon's words made the other students shut their mouths at once. Professor Simon was a lecturer who taught about the history of fashion in Europe. So it was not surprising that Professor Simon's lesson felt boring because what was discussed was about the history of fashion from time to time, starting from the clothes of the aristocrats, the armors, and the under garments. 

"Come on, Anne, time is running out," said Professor Simon again. 

Linda, who was sitting next to Anne, seemed to close her lips tightly, because she, who had attended Professor Simon's lesson from the start, had forgotten about the question Professor Simon asked Anne, even though it was only explained twenty minutes ago. 

"The fashion in the Victorian era in the history of Great Britain was the reign of Queen Victoria from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901. This era was marked by a long period of peace, prosperity, British glory on the international scene, and the national confidence of the British people. A charming style of clothing that is characterized by lace and lace accessories, as well as blooming cuts. This Victorian dress style emphasizes the concept of a beautiful appearance that looks charming. The shape of the fluffy sleeves is also part of the characteristics of clothing back then. Lace is a very attractive accessory and was popular in this era. Not only in clothing, but also in hair ornaments and brooches. Women's hairstyles in the Victorian era were known to often use updos that made the style looked elegant and charming to let the hair loose by adding beautiful ornaments, such as hair pins," answered Anne smoothly without pause. 

Hearing Anne's words made the whole class immediately silent. Even Professor Simon himself looked shocked. Because he thought that Anne had not paid attention to the lesson he was giving because she kept smiling to herself. 

"Good, I like your short explanation. Then we will continue the lesson. Everyone must stay focus. Remember after this, there will be a quiz. This quiz will affect your final semester grades," said Professor Simon loudly as he walked forward. back leaving Anne.

After Professor Simon returned to the front, Linda appeared to be gently elbowing Anne's arm while giving her two thumbs up. She was amazed by Anne's answer, which was very smooth without any mistakes. Even though she clearly knew that Anne was late in class and Professor Simon had explained other parts. 

"Focus, Linda, you don't want to be asked to explain like I was before," said Anne softly in a half whisper.

"I know, Anne," Linda replied, focusing on the front where Professor Simon was giving lessons again.

Anne just smiled at Linda's behavior. She then refocused on Professor Simon's explanation and tried to get Leon and Steffi out of her mind.

Gabriella, who had been stealing glances at Anne, was annoyed, because she already thought that Professor Simon would get angry at Anne. 

"Your luck is good, Anne, but you can't continue to do well. You have no right to be the center of attention on this campus." Gabriella thought in annoyance. She really hated Anne, who not only managed to steal the attention from her fans, but also to steal the attention of her lecturer.

After two hours, Professor Simon's lesson finally ended. The course on the history of fashion really bore the students. 

When one by one the students left the class, Anne was still busy tidying up the contract letters she had brought from Professor Gilbert's office. Anne carefully put them in her bag. 

"What's that you brought, Anne?" Linda asked curiously.

"The document from Professor Gilbert, I have to read it at home," answered Anne curtly.

"What documents?" Linda asked again.

"Just a …"

Anne could not finish her words when she saw Aaron's figure standing at the door of her classroom. Behind her, there were a lot of female students calling out Aaron's name loudly. Gabriella, who happened to be leaving the classroom, instantly stunned when she saw Aaron's figure in front of her eyes. Aaron's was really able to bewitch all the girls on the art campus. Among the girls who surrounded Aaron was Isabel. She was even in the front row and stared at Aaron without blinking.

Linda, who had been talking to Anne, immediately turned to the door quickly because she was shocked when she heard a commotion in front of the classroom. She immediately touched Anne's arm when she saw Aaron. 

"Anne …"

"I know, Linda," said Anne quietly as she continued to stare at Aaron who was slowly walking towards her.

Gabriella, who was very confident that Aaron would approach her, seemed to tidy up her slightly messy hair, but when she realized that Aaron's steps turned towards the row of chairs occupied by Anne, she immediately lowered her hand from her hair and continued to stare at Aaron without blinking as he continued to walk towards Anne. .

"Let's go home," Aaron said softly as he stretched out his hand towards Anne.

"Why did you come?" asked Anne quietly.

"Picking you up, I haven't had lunch, Anne. I'm hungry," Aaron replied curtly.

Anne's expression immediately changed when she heard Aaron's words saying that he had not eaten. Anne recalled what Doctor Robin said, who said that Aaron had chronic stomach ulcers.

Without speaking, Anne then grabbed Aaron's hand and pulled him away from her classroom. She walked quickly leaving Linda. When Anne walked out of the classroom with Aaron, the girls who had been following Aaron seemed very surprised that the man they were following was very close to Anne. They could only be silent when they saw Anne was dragging Aaron away to his car like a child. They could not believe that Anne was very familiar with the CEO of the Connery Corporation. 

Isabel, who really adored Aaron, looked very angry. Her eyes reddened as she stared at Anne getting into Aaron's luxury car.

"Are you jealous to see Anne being picked up by that handsome CEO?" Gabriella whispered softly right behind Isabel.
