The Moment I Met You (Chapter 326)

By Nightengale Ben-Onyeukwu

At the same moment at Baze University, Audrey sat on her desk reading the latest entertainment news with her tablet.                                  

‘Chioma can’t be compared to Jessica. She is not even half pretty as her. I wonder why Michael loves that ugly girl so much.’                          

It seemed all the students in the class were discussing the same thing. Four boys in the class walked over to Audrey, and began talking to her.                                                                                                                             

Audrey couldn’t help but force a smile even though her mood didn’t need the smile. The boys were all looking handsome. Any girl would be happy to have them talking to her, but no, she only wanted Andrew even though she was angry with him.                                                           

Kimberly walked over and chuckled. ‘Audrey, whom do you want to choose?’                                                                                                    

One after the other, they eagerly said to Audrey, ‘Audrey, give me the chance to proof myself to you.’                                                                        

‘I promise not to hurt you. Your poor boyfriend will give you nothing but wrinkles.’                                                                                                                

‘Audrey, I can be your slave at your beck and call.’                                       

Audrey found their words funny, but then, she was not moved. She only wanted Daniel. Then she pondered and asked, ‘Why do you love me, for my beauty or fame?’                                                                           

They glanced at each other. Audrey couldn’t careless what their expression was. She knew that they had come from rich and powerful family, and could get anything that they want to have.                                    

‘Well, love doesn’t require beauty or fame. It only requires heart. I know that you all are very handsome but I don’t think that any of you will match up to my boyfriend, ‘Audrey said.                                              

Just then, a female lecturer, wearing a black blazer with floral pink sweater underneath, paired with matching necklace, walked inside and everyone went to their seat. However, it seemed that no one was in the mood to listen to the Advertising lesson going on. Some of the boys kept on stealing glances at her; some of the girls kept whispering the entertainment gossip, making up comparison between Jessica and Chioma, totally unaware that the lecturer was getting angrier and angrier as she taught.        

Their textbooks were all placed before them, but no one concentrated on it.                                                                                                        

  ‘Hey, you come out and explain everything I just said to the class,’the lecturer pointed at Kimberly who was dressed in a navy and white patterned dress with navy pumps.                                                                        

  Kimberly wasn’t aware that she was being called as she chatted away with her head down until the boy in navy suit seating beside her gave her a light push.                                                                                     

  ‘Kimberly, the lecturer is talking to you.’                                         

‘Oh, really,’Kimberly responded, raising her head, and staring at the lecturer who was obviously angry. ‘Ma’am, what do you want me to do?’                                                                                                         

‘I said you should explain everything I had just said.’                                   Kimberly shrugged innocently. ‘I will but I am a little bit under the weather.                                                                                                

‘Just say whatever,’a girl in ponytails whispered to Kimberly.                      Kimberly took her textbook and left to the platform. Standing before the class, she made faces, causing the students to laugh.                                                                                                                                   

‘Kimberly!’ The lecturer yelled at Kimberly.                                               

Kimberly pouted, lifting the textbook and flipping to a specified chapter, she began explaining the nonsense in her head, causing the students to even laugh more. Though fluent American English sputtered from her mouth as she spoke, the teacher was very furious for the out-of-point she was saying.                                                                  

The lecturer looked at her and said, ‘You couldn’t explain a word and you’re still disturbing… Go back to your seat and pay attention.’ The lecturer could not do anything to her because of her rich and powerful family. Who would dare go against money? People respected money, the lecturer was no exception.                                                              

Kimberly pouted her lips and grumbled, ‘Your class is so boring…’ she thought that the lecturer didn’t hear her; she did but couldn’t do anything to her. The lecturer simply didn’t want to be fired.                          

  Audrey was feeling bored before and after class, so she decided to look for Daniel.                                                                                            

  Boarding her Porsche, she drove straight to his shop. Reaching his shop, she found a spot and parked her car. But as she was about stepping down of her car, she saw Daniel hugging a girl. Audrey felt jealousy inside of her. She only saw the back of the girl, which made her wonder whom the girl was.
