Alle Kapitel von Goodbye, Saintess.: Kapitel 371 – Kapitel 380

I smiled calmly. Since we had only just met, I didn't expect Elliot to start treating me like a friend or subordinate right away. The only reason I was even standing here was that Metis' virility formula worked that well.There was nothing personal between us, just a simple quid pro quo."Well, if you may, please leave us alone. I can feel it kicking in already," Elliot said. His face flushed a deeper red, and his breathing grew heavier.Then, clearly overtaken by something far more urgent, he grabbed my loan request, scrawled his signature across it, and even wrote in the lowest possible interest rate."Here you go, Grimwald. I'm not gonna bother looking at your project. As for how much money you need, fill it in yourself. I'm really not gonna be bothered with it. Thanks for choosing Regan International, and I hope your business takes off," he rattled off at high speed.He pulled his secretary close. She blushed, her cheeks the same shade as his. She avoided my gaze. It was clear

I had to find out who that mole was. Their presence felt like a ticking time bomb strapped to Sleeping Giant's neck.-By afternoon, the finance and logistics teams stayed behind while the rest of us headed to Astergrad University.Jeanine had already notified the dean of our visit. Sleeping Giant would hold a hiring call at three o'clock. The top students from every department had been invited to attend.Our company had become a household name in Astergrad's business circle, though I hadn't realized how much until we arrived. The sight that greeted us was overwhelming."I didn't expect this many people!" I remarked. "This is beyond my wildest expectations!"Jeanine rolled her eyes."Oh, please. You don't think they're all here for the company, do you? Most of them are here for you." Her tone carried a hint of jealousy. "You're young, rich, and good-looking—the perfect poster boy CEO."She pulled out her phone and showed me a post from the university's student forum.The top t

"How am I supposed to go to my interview looking like this?" Astrid moaned.I was taken aback. Well, if that was the case, she really had no reason to rush.I smiled. "Oh, I'm not going anywhere. You can just change into another pair of shoes before the interview."Astrid rolled her eyes. "Why does it matter to you? A CEO of a company this big and elite must have a packed schedule. He might leave before I even change my shoes!""It's fine. You can always find me later. Here's my number. I'll even pay for your new shoes," I said, jotting my number on a note and handing it to her.…Astrid frowned as she watched Sebastian walk away. "Who does he think he is? God, I wanted to interview the CEO, not some random guy with delusions of grandeur. I should probably report him to security after this."She tossed the note into the trash. Just as she turned to head back to her room in the staff hostel, two of her students came running out of the lecture hall."Hey, where are you two going?

Kyle sneered, "That woman thinks she's better than me just because she studied abroad once? So what? I always get the woman I want!"Do you really think you're good enough for the CEO of Sleeping Giant? Pfft. Wait until I get you drunk and have my way with you. I bet that man won't want a woman who isn't even a virgin anymore. I know men, after all."If Astrid had been there to hear Kyle's muttering, she would have understood the truth—he was lying. He didn't know Sebastian at all. Every word was a fabrication for his own twisted purpose.-The afternoon slipped away as I combed through every corner of the Nursing faculty.I had already asked plenty of people, yet no one had heard of "Julia Cruz," much less knew where she might be."Strange. Did Jackie give me the wrong name?" I doubted it. How could anyone forget his own sister's name?Puzzled, I took out my phone to call him, but Jeanine's number flashed on the screen first."Mr. Grimwald? The recruitment drive has wrapped up

Kyle's face darkened, but Tom raised a hand to silence him."I know you, Professor Langley. You're one of our lecturers, right? Don't worry, you're in good hands," he said, his voice steady and reassuring as he turned to Astrid."So you're actually one of our students! Good! I'm one of the lecturers as well. I'm Kyle Vought, Sport Studies. Do you know me?" Kyle asked eagerly with a confident grin. "We're practically part of one big Astergrad U family!""Family, my ass!" Tom snapped.Kyle froze, dumbfounded."I know you, Vought. How could I not? You're infamous for harassing Professor Langley. You really think people don't talk? Everyone on campus knows what you've done. Plenty of female lecturers have already complained about you."Tom pointed sharply at the door. "Now get the hell out of my place. Don't make me repeat myself."Kyle was mortified and glanced at his friends. The humiliation burned like a slap across the face."You may not think much of me, kid, and that's fine.
