Chapter 883
The joy on the young man’s face was evident. He scratched his head shyly and said, “It is you, Corinne! I was walking past the
window when I saw you, so I thought I’d say hi. I haven’t seen you since you graduated...”
‘Oh, it’s him! Chester Mansfield, my university junior.”
Corinne nodded at him politely. “Yeah, it’s been a while. Are you doing some shopping?”
Chester shook his head. “Nope. I just started offering part-time tutoring services, so I came to the schools nearby to pass out
some flyers. I got hungry though, so I came to see if there’s any fast-food restaurant to grab a bite before I resume.”
Corinne smiled lightly. “Sounds like hard work.”
She was not close with Chester, and the only reason she remembered him was that he was quite handsome, good at both his
studies and basketball, and would make his presence known to her whenever he could. He even gave her a button on her
graduation day to remember him by, which she still had no idea what it was for.
Corinne had no intention to ask Chester to join them for lunch, the reason being he was a guy and it was not like they knew each
other well-so what was the point? However, when she saw Francine blushing madly and was flustered, Corinne remembered
something.
‘Oh, that’s right. Francine has a crush on Chester. She even wrote him that love letter... But he turned her down in the end.’
Corinne grinned mischievously and changed her mind. “Chester, do you want to join us for lunch? It’ll be my treat.”
Chester worshiped Corinne like a goddess, so he was elated and surprised to receive the invitation. “R... Really?”
Corinne smiled and jerked her chin to point to the seat beside Francine. “Yeah, sure. Why don’t you sit over there?”
Chester nodded happily and went over to the empty seat. He was about to sit and greet Francine when he realized who she was.
“Francine?”
The red-faced Francine looked at him shyly and greeted, “Hi, Chester...”
Corinne smiled. “Wow, so you two know each other?”
Francine nodded shyly. Gone was her usual shrewish behavior and was replaced by a picture-perfect demure lady.
Seeing this, Corinne smiled and thought, ‘So it’s true what they said. A girl will become more ladylike in front of her crush. After
that, she called the waiter over to order more food.
Both Francine and Chester were blushing madly by then. Francine because of Chester and Chester because of Corinne.
Corinne was the only one who did not let the situation affect her appetite. She kept eating while talking.
“So how’s the work going so far? You must be making a lot of money as a tutor.”
Chester rubbed the back of his head shyly. “I haven’t really gotten anyone to hire me yet, hence the flyers.”
Corinne narrowed her eyes and looked at Francine, who was eating very daintily. Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind. “How
much do you charge for tutoring?”
“I’m still a newbie, so I charge ten dollars an hour.”
“Oh, that’s not expensive at all.”
When Jeremy arrived at the restaurant, he immediately recognized Chester to be the young man who gave Corinne the second
button she was wearing, causing his expression to darken.
