Chapter 41 George's Business Card; Layla Receives a Recommendation to Taragon University "Hey, hey, remember me? I lost 450 thousand to you last tin Norward City, Danny shouted, pointing at his own face, which he believed to be highly recognisable, through the partially closed passenger side window of the car. Dylan's eyes widened involuntarily upon hearing Danny's words. 450 thousand? Unable to control himself, he turned his head to look at Isabelle, who was acting as if she did not know Danny at all. Isabelle won 450 thousand from Danny Holmes? Did he mistake her for someone else? Dylan, who usually was not nosey, felt a strong urge to pry for the first time. Danny becanxious and reversed his car, ignoring the honking from the car behind. Just as he was about to knock on Isabelle's car window, the traffic light turned green and the black Maybach sped off. "Hey! Hey! D'mn it!" Danny cursed, not noticing the man in the black Maybach. He muttered in confusion, "I know it's her, but why is she ignoring me? Didn't she recognise me?" Although Isabelle had lost a lot of weight and becmuch prettier, Danny was sure that the girl in the car was the sone who had raced him in Norward City with a lousy Honda and won. Danny clicked his tongue in annoyance. Hearing the continuous honking from the car behind, he turned around and cursed, "Shut up or I'll smash your stupid car!" The black Maybach stopped in front of the Horton Hotel. Before Isabelle could get out of the car, the man next to her said, "If you don't mind, my assistant can go up with you to get your luggage, and I can take you to the airport later.” Isabelle forced a smile, “Mr. Harris, you're too kind.” George said, “It's my pleasure.” “No need. I'm staying here tonight and leaving tomorrow." Isabelle stopped pretending. Unexpectedly, George did not seem surprised at all. Instead, he took the opportunity to ask, "Can I ask you! for a casual meal then?" Tm on a diet George smiled and gave up. Isabelle got out of the car and took the large bag of medicinal herbs from Dylan's hand. Then, she saw George also getting out of the car and approaching her. 11:20 Sat, 1 Jun ETO Chapter 41 George's Business Card; Layla Receives a Recommendation to Taragon University The man, who was at least 1.9 meters tall and much taller than Isabelle, handed her a black gold business card with his slender fingers. "Miss Jenkins, if you need any help, you can contact me." George's business card was hard to cby. Isabelle stared at the card for a while and looked up at George, "Since you're offering, I won't refuse." She took the card and walked into the hotel. On the way back, Dylan said, "Mr. George, the young man in that sports car just now was Danny Holmes.” The man in the back seat had his fingers interlocked and his eyes closed. After a while, Dylan heard the man reply slowly, "Hmm." Dylan wanted to say something else, but seeing the man's closed eyes in the rearview mirror, he had to suppress his curiosity and questions. The next morning. Isabelle boarded a plane back to Norward City. Meanwhile, at Taragon University. “Hey, have you heard? The math genius on the forum who's even more amazing than James showed up at our university yesterday." "Really? Where did you hear that? I didn't hear anything about it. Is it reliable?" "It's absolutely true! The vice-principal personally welcomed her, and the principal cover not long after. He was so excited!" "I heard that the person who answered the questions on the forum has been found, and she's stunning! The key point is, she's only in her third year of high schooll" Third year of high school? That's incredible!" "And I heard she solved the problem that had been bothering James for half a year in just two months." "Do you think the TV station will send someone over?" "| heard the school news has gone to interview her!" "Outstanding people excel in all aspects indeed." "She's still in high school and she's so pretty. Oh my, do you think she'll steal James away from me? No!" At this moment, James, who rarely left the lab, was leisurely drinking coffee in a quiet and elegant coffee shop on campus. Sitting across from James was a girl with a small face, a small upturned nose, and long black hair. She was dressed in a ladylike white dress that concealed her sharp eyes The girl was Layla Are you sure you can't find the draft?" James asked Layla again, unwilling to give up layla shook her head. "I'm sorry hit I had no mang drafts: They were taking un tan much tracy au 11:20 Sat, 1 Jun TO. Chapter 41 George's Business Card; Layla Receives a Recommendation to Taragon University so I threw them all away." || 74% "I have a favor to ask. Since you've already been accepted to Taragon University and don't need to take the college entrance exam, could you stay here and rewrite a detailed process of how you get the solution using your problem-solving approach? The school needs it for teaching, and I need it too." Layla looked troubled, and indeed she was. "I'll think about it. This is a big task. It tooktwo whole months to solve this problem, and it was so exhausting. To be honest, Senior, I still have a physical reaction when I see that problem." Having secured her place at Taragon University the day before, Layla, as a future student of the university, had started to call James her senior. James said. "I understand. I'll wait for your reply. Layla breathed a sigh of relief and started a conversation with James. “Do you have any hobbies, James?" "I'm only interested in mathematics. Apart from eating and sleeping, I spend most of my tin the lab." "Doesn't that get dull and boring?" Not at all, I love mathematics." James immediately asked, "Do you find mathematics dull and boring?" Layla quickly replied. "Of course not! I love mathematics just like you." "Um, James, do you have a girl...?" Layla looked at James's handsface. Her heart was pounding and her face was flushed. Just as she was about to voice her thoughts. James quickly finished his coffee and said, "I have a problem for which I haven't found a better solution. Can you help me?" "Me?" Layla was taken aback. "Yes, you're more capable than me, so you must have a better solution, is it all right?" I.Layla, feeling guilty, was at a loss for words. How could she possibly be more capable than James? Knowing how she got into Taragon University, how she gained her reputation as a math genius, and how she was able to sit and have coffee with her idol. James, Layla nervously swallowed, feeling a bit flustered. She anxiously tried to think of a suitable excuse, "Is that a no?" James asked. “No, but...' Before Layla could cup with an excuse, a waiter carrying a tray accidentally tripped and spilled orange juice all over her. Lavla screamed and stood un. She was furious as she yoked at her ruined white dress. “You...” She was 3/4 1820 Chapter 41 George's Business Card, Layla Receives a Recommendation to Taragon University about to curse. "Are you okay?" James asked. The sound of James's voice stopped Layla just in time. Regaining her composure, she quickly put on her gentle and considerate face again. After that, she said to the waiter who was apologising and handing her tissues, T'm fine, how about you? Did you hurt yourself?" "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to do that. How much is your dress? Letcompensate you." The waiter kept apologising. Compensate? Can y you, a lowly waiter, afford it? Layla shouted in her mind, but on the surface, she said understandingly and gracefully. "It's fine, you don't have to. I'll just wash it when I get home." After this incident. James could not ask Layla for help anymore. Meanwhile, Layla, who was upset about her dress, secretly felt relieved that she had avoided a difficult situation. Ass soon as she returned to the hotel, Layla started frantically washing her dress, but no matter how much she washed, she still could not remove the stain. She was so angry that she threw the dress into the trash can. Eleanor's heart ached. As soon as they had gotten off the train yesterday, the two of them went shopping. In order for her daughter to look presentable, Eleanor had spent a fortune on this dress, a total of 270 dollars. However, she had only worn it for one day. Eleanor picked up the dress and cursed. "Where's my notebook?" Ethan was searching for his notebook, but he could not find it anywhere. Never would he imagine that Layla had stolen his notebook and taken it to Taragon City. At that moment, the door to the room opened, and in walked Isabelle, who had been in Taragon City for two days. "Isabelle!" Ethan exclaimed in surprise, "You're back." Send Gifts 138
