Chapter 431 An Opportunity

Prof. Melaurant, who was also Caleb’s supervisor, was also in the office at the moment. As a lecturer,

he specialized in investments in the field of finance.

After greeting Prof. Mclaurant, Clarissa turned to her mentees and discussed their respective topics

while assigning tasks to them.

now,

“Miss Johnson, the final of the basketball tournament’s being held in a few days. As of it’s difficult to get

tickets to the event.” Lisa looked at Clarissa with a smile.

Since Clarissa was almost the same age as her students, they didn’t treat her the way they treated the

other lecturers. There was less formality.

“Oh, really?” Clarissa knew exactly what Lisa was hinting at. Lisa was trying to hook her with Caleb.

up

“If you want to go, I can get tickets for you,” Lisa said.

“That’s none of your business, is it? Aren’t you supposed to focus on your studies?” Clarissa knocked

the knuckles of her fingers on the table, warning Lisa to know her place.

Lisa immediately lowered her head, remorseful.

After her students left, Clarissa organized her table and prepared to leave. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Clarissa, I heard my mentee’s interested in you.”

Prof. Mclaurant was already over 60 years old. Every time Clarissa saw him, he would remind her of

Grandpa.

“The rumors aren’t true. You don’t have to believe them,” Clarissa said, embarrassed.

“To be honest with you, I’m not against the idea of teachers dating their students. If what he did upsets

you, I’ll apologize in his stead,” Prof. Mclaurant said with a cheeky smile.

Clarissa was completely speechless at that.

“If he did anything that’s too out of line, please tell me. I’ll make sure he knows his place,” Prof.

Mclaurant added.

Being Caleb’s supervisor, Prof. Mclaurant seemed proud of Caleb’s actions.

In a sreabfe way, Clarissa felt relieved. As expected, someone as educated as Prof. Mclaurant was

more open–minded and less judgmental when it came to relationship issues that were a taboo to many.

The moment Clarissa thought about the identical plushie she shared with Neil, she didn’t hate Caleb as

much anymore.

Caleb hadn’t been too out of line. After all, he decided to pursue Clarissa only after he made sure that

she was single. Clarissa knew Caleb was a bright student who had a bright future ahead of him. So,

she wouldn’t want to ruin his future just because of something as trivial as this. Thinking of this, she

regretted her rash decision of reporting Caleb to the disciplinary department for confessing his love to

her. Fortunately, he didn’t suffer any grave consequences.

“Thank you for your advice, Prof. Mclaurant,” Clarissa said. “Does that mean you‘re okay with Caleb

pursuing your love interest?” Prof. Mclaurant prodded.

“That‘s not what I mean...” Clarissa muttered, red. She didn‘t know what to say.

Prof. Mclaurant laughed out loud. “You‘re already a PhD holder, and you‘re still worried about trivial

issues like age difference and hierarchy. It‘s time you see things with a different perspective!”

Clarissa was rendered speechless yet again.

She could sense that Prof. Mclaurant had misunderstood her intentions.

To solve this problem, she had decided to scare Caleb away by telling him her past.

“Prof. Mclaurant, did you call for me just now?” While Clarissa was chatting with the professor, a

handsome young man entered the room.

After he entered the office, he even glanced at Clarissa. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Clarissa left

immediately after organizing her desk.

“I‘ve been waiting for you since morning! Which topic are you interested in working on? Why don‘t you

choose some parts of it and give it a try for now?” Prof. Mclaurant asked.

He waited until Clarissa exited the office before changing into another topic. “I‘ve already asked Miss

Johnson about it. She‘s not as irked by your confession as I imagined her to be! Good luck!”

“Thank you, Prof.” Caleb smiled.

His smile was as charming as ever.

“Oh, right! I almost forgot. You‘re interested in going for internships in related fields, right? I‘ve asked

around for you. My old friend is the president of Eden Investment, and he‘s interested in taking you into

his company. However, you‘re only qualified to be an assistant since you‘re only in the first year of your

postgraduate study,” Prof. Mclaurant said, patting Caleb‘s shoulders.

“Alright. Thank you for the opportunity, sir.” “By the way, Clarissa’s working as their independent

director. That‘ll make your job easier,” Prof. Mclaurant added with a cheeky smile. “Wow. Prof, you

really did think it through before offering the internship opportunity to me!” At Caleb‘s gleeful response,

Prof. Mclaurant burst out laughing.
