Chapter 136 Hall
Isla thought for a long time only to find she was unable to say anything.
Even so, she still followed Arthur into the restaurant.
The latter sat in a corner and immediately ordered via a tablet attached to the table where he was seated. This restaurant is more advanced than others because it relies on technology for the way it orders.
Isla sat across from Arthur, looking at the menu before choosing boiled potatoes and green tea, no meat at all.
"By the way, where do you plan to go to college after graduation?" she asked. Since she wasn't sure what to say in the previous topic, she ended up bringing up a new one.
Before Arthur could reply, she continued "if you are interested in Harvard, I can help you."
Arthur who wasn't even sure whether he would continue with college or not couldn't help but laugh at the woman's words.
Maybe if he chooses college, he's just doing it for added activity because at the end of the day, he still has time that needs to be filled with leisure activities, like in the morning hours after a night of meditation.
But, of course, he wouldn't be going as far as to America, only in this city or the capital at most. The two are not far from each other, each located in two contiguous states.
"Why are you laughing?" Isla was confused so she knitted her brows.
"There isn't any!" Arthur chose not to answer because he didn't want to disturb her mentality.
Students in their third year of university who are about to enter their fourth year may appear mature to the younger ones, but to the experienced ones, they are still very young. Even if Isla is good at politics, that doesn't change that fact. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m
The restaurant waiter came not long after. She had a confused expression because the dishes she brought were too many, enough for seven to ten people, but apparently only two people had ordered.
Saying they're waiting for friends might not be appropriate since they're sitting at a small table.
As she placed the dishes on the table, she kept glancing back and forth between Arthur and Isla, wondering who would eat so much.
Unfortunately, she was unable to conclude to the end.
Isla picked up the dish she ordered, then glanced back and forth between the other dishes and Arthur. Even spontaneously she tried to stare at his stomach.
Despite wanting to ask, she chose not to for fear that Arthur would say something strange again.
The latter started to eat, shoving one piece of meat after another into his mouth.
As she continued to observe, Isla found Arthur could eat up to four pieces of meat when she ate just one piece of potato.
Of course, someone who eats fast doesn't mean much, he may be full after only half a plate.
Unfortunately, Arthur didn't stop even after finishing one plate. And in less than ten minutes, he managed to finish five plates of meat.
Because she was too focused on watching him, Isla was only able to finish less than half of her potatoes by the time Arthur was done.
Arthur after drinking the water in his cup immediately stood up while placing a few Euros on the table.
Seeing him stand up, Isla stopped eating and stood up too while taking out a Euro note from her small bag.
"You don't have to keep following me," Arthur told her.
Isla looked embarrassed by his words, and at the same time looked at Arthur with eyes wondering why he would mind being followed by her.
She is a smart and quite beautiful woman. While her beauty was not excessive, her aura of intelligence covered it up so that wherever she was, she tended to attract the attention of men.
A high school student should be attracted and amazed by her.
After clearing her throat softly, she replied, "I still have to go back to school, give some advice to the students who will be taking the exams."
Arthur couldn't stop her from doing so, so he didn't speak again as he continued on his way.
The students at the school couldn't help but be amazed when they saw Arthur arriving with Isla. They still vividly remembered how he had come with Rose and then left with Amanda. Perhaps he already knew them on the outside, so it could still be considered natural.
However, Isla is a different case. Even though her home wasn't far from this school, she lived in America and Arthur certainly didn't know her or have spoken to her before except on that stage.
Carla and Bella who were on the highest floor of the school building looked at each other when they saw Arthur.
"Or could he use some kind of enchantment magic to attract women?" Bella said with a suspicious face.
She realized she was smitten with Arthur and she thought several other women would feel the same if they continued to interact with him. However, with so many women arriving, she began to feel that something was hidden.
Carla rolled her eyes at Bella's words. She shook her head as she replied, "impossible, he's not that type. Look at him, he doesn't really care for that woman."
"Not necessarily," Bella replied. "Some guys might not want a girl that much, but they like the feeling when a few girls are chasing them. What if he was that type?"
"I'm sure our Wilson Family doesn't have that kind of hypocrisy." Carla still denied so Bella looked her face up and down.
"Hmm..." She laughed coldly as she said, "there's no point in arguing considering you're his cousin who has a crush on him."
Carla was slightly embarrassed to hear that but unlike before, she didn't try to argue back. Her hand moved, swinging her ponytail. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢
Right after that, an announcement came from the speakers in the school building, telling the Class 3 students to head to the hall.
It was a large venue, enough to accommodate more than 500 people with a podium at the front and behind the podium was a large screen.
When the students gathered in the hall, Isla came and climbed onto the podium.
She stared at the students for a moment before saying, "Most of you probably haven't experienced it yet, but after high school, it will start to appear, (Quarter-Life Crisis). This is a serious matter for every young generation, even those from wealthy families with a guaranteed future."
She paused, took a deep breath before continuing, "Today we will be discussing that, and I happen to have prepared some good materials, something I gathered from my friends who come from various tribes and nations."
Hearing what she said, Arthur who was sitting beside Harry chose to take out his cell phone. This is indeed very important material for the younger generation, but it has been too long for him.
