Meanwhile, Lauren had finally gotten into Solana City Arts Academy after Landon pulled sstrings, thus granting her a spot as an associate student.
Lauren quickly began her first week of classes.
Though she sat in the last row of each classroom every tand even hid herself behind the large easel, she still caught the attention of the male students in class.
None of them were in the mood to pay attention anymore. They kept on arching their necks to get a peek at Lauren.
But Lauren was so focused on listening in class and drawing that she never once noticed the other boys. She had to pay attention as she wanted to absorb everything the art teacher was saying. After all, Landon had helped her secure this spot, so she didn't want to waste it.

Sof the male students urged one of their friends forward in Lauren's direction. The male student then took a deep breath and walked over to the last row.
"Apologies for coming late, madam. | was taking a call just now." Angelina walked over to Lauren and helped her carry her art tools while resting a hand on her waist.
Angelina then glanced coldly at the male students. That single glance was enough to stun them all.
She was both beautiful and terrifying at the stime! "What are all of you trying to do here? Mess with a young, married woman?" Angeline quipped.
Married woman? The male students were stunned. Many of them cried internally at losing their new prospect.
"Ms. Lauren is already married. If any of you ogle her again, I'll sue you all for harassment," Angelina said. She was originally going to say "pluck your eyeballs out" but decided not to go the violent route, given these were Lauren's classmates.
Lauren looked down shyly as she walked out of the classroom. She was blushing furiously.
"| clate today as | had to deal with sthings over at the company. From now on, I'll wait for you outside class here," Angelina said. At the thought of those male students, she couldn't help but still feel concerned for Lauren's safety.
No wonder Landon looked at Lauren the way he did all the tand even wanted to hide her away from the world. Lauren would be put at the mercy of the wolves if she was left outside just like this.
Angie, Landon and | aren't married yet..." Lauren blinked rapidly.
Lauren had felt really happy inside when Angelina called her a married woman earlier, but there was still shyness.

She continued, "Mr. Harper is already planning the wedding in secret. He's going to Yoarkley next month to attend a royal auction. There is a rare diamond he wants to acquire, and the queen of Yoarkley has supposedly worn it before. Mr. Harper wants to make it into a wedding ring for you." "Landon doesn't need to spend that much money for me. All that matters is that he loves me." Lauren shook her head lightly, grabbing onto Angelina's shirt.
"But Mr. Harper would do anything to give you the best in the world. Heck! He'd even pluck the stars from the sky and craft a ring for you with them if he could. You're worth it, madam," Angelina said.
Angelina then snorted, "Plus, you don't need to worry about helping him save money. Besides you, money is the one thing he'll never lack. Spending it is one of his greatest pleasures. Just let him do as he pleases, alright?" Just then, Angelina received a letter from Landon. She sighed to herself after reading it.
"Is... Landon not coming hfor dinner tonight?" Lauren immediately knew why Angelina reacted the way she did.
"I'm sorry, madam. Mr. Harper has been really busy as the board meeting is just around the corner." "It's okay, | understand. CEOs are always really busy." Lauren hugged her teddy bear tight.
She smiled even as disappointment glinted in her eyes. "I'll just wait for Landon to chome. Jasper also rarely chin the past because he was always busy. Alyssa would always wait for him to chome, not even going to sleep first. Sometimes, when Jasper had too much to drink, she'd still look after him no matter how late it was. She never once looked tired."
