NovelEnglishWasn't it all thanks to Madeleine's connections and networking?
At that moment, she felt as if she had been slapped across the face. Not directly, but as if a slap had whizzed by
her side, leaving her cheeks burning.

As the meeting ended, everyone filed out of the auditorium in a steady stream.
Slater and his crew scurried out faster than rabbits, hunching their backs and sticking to the sides as much as
possible.
It was a matter of pride.
And not just a small embarrassment, but one that happened in front of leaders and the entire student body.
"Roseanne, you were so cool!" Mamie stared at Roseanne with eyes that were more than just admiring-they were
absolutely glowing with adoration.
Scales couldn't help but lift his chin in pride, "Now let's see who dares to look down on our group."
"Exactly! Next t| see Slater and Sybil, those pests, I'm going to strut past them with my nose in the air,
chuckling to myself..."
Just the thought of it had Mamie bubbling with joy.
This feeling was even better than helping her family collect rent until her hands went limp!
"Roseanne, can we have more moments like this?"

"lI want to hit you!"
Missing the joke, old man!
Hertha left the auditorium and was still in a daze by the tshe got home.
"Hey-"
Beverley was walking into the living room with a bowl of bird's nest soup when Hertha bumped right into her,
nearly spilling it.
Spilling the soup was the least of their concerns; it almost scalded her.
"Hertha, what's going on with you? You look totally out of it... Oh right, I've arranged a lunch for you tomorrow at
the Westgate Diner with Hurley. Make sure you talk to him, get to know each other better."
"I've already checked him out for you. Hurley is a Stanford scholar, not one of those rich kids with a fake degree,
but a genuine researcher! | heard he's published loads, been in all the top journals, just missing 'Nature' and
'Science' or something..." Suddenly, Hertha spoke up, "Roseanne got published in 'Science'."
Beverley was puzzled, "Sci...what?" She dismissed it nonchalantly, "Why bring her up all of a sudden?"
"Science'," Hertha articulated, "the one you said Hurley hasn't managed to get into."
Beverley was stunned.
Another morning dawned, and
was getting ready to
rsity cafeteria f
Just as she opened her door, the door across from hers swung open too.
There stood Owen.
Their eyes locked, and both of them paused for a second.
Roseanne was the first to break the silence with a smile, "Good morning, Mr. Reynolds."
"Morning. Headed to campus?"
"Yes," Roseanne nodded, "Going to grab sbreakfast at the cafeteria first."
"How about we go together?"
"Sounds good."
As they walked downstairs, Owen suddenly turned to her, "Kingswell University has officially announced the good
news. Congratulations on your 'Science' publication."
"Thank you, Mr. Reynolds. Without the use of your lab and having you
6 co-author, it might not have
been so smooth."
Owen was no stranger to 'Science'.
His influence had certainly played a part.
"I only provided the opportunity; your own abilities were what truly made the difference."
Walking towards the rising sun, they continued their conversation, bathed in the gentle morning light. Ever since
they had cleared the air last time, he hadn't been avoiding Roseanne anymore. As for whether those dreams
continued...
Perhaps only Owen himself and the rows of sheets and duvet covers hanging on the balcony knew...
