Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Training Begins (2)
Nathaniel Nathan quite liked the sound of that, so he said slowly, "If I’m so great, why won’t you let me sleep with you?"
Vera Xavier really felt like crying. ’This guy is unbelievable!’
At her wit’s end, she retorted with something a little provocative, "There are plenty of amazing people in this world. It’s not like I can sleep with every single one of them!"
The moment the words left her mouth, she wanted to slap herself. ’It must be from spending so much time with Nathaniel Nathan. After hearing him go on and on about sleeping together, I’ve started talking without a filter, too!’
’It’s true what they say: bad company corrupts.’
Nathaniel Nathan’s voice instantly turned cold. "Vera Xavier!"
"I was wrong!" Vera Xavier immediately backpedaled. "You’re the most outstanding, absolute best man in the entire world, which is why I’ll only sleep with you! I was just talking nonsense without thinking. You’re a magnanimous person; please forgive my slip of the tongue this once!"
Nathaniel Nathan snorted coldly. "I’m adding this to your tab."
Vera Xavier suddenly felt a headache coming on. ’In my past life, I never realized this guy was the type to hold a grudge!’
After hanging up, Vera Xavier felt utterly drained, mentally and physically. ’I’d better lie low and avoid him for a while,’ she thought. ’Otherwise, he’ll drive me insane when he decides to act up.’
Vera Xavier glanced at the time. It was already getting late. With military training officially starting tomorrow, she needed to move into her school dormitory tonight.
For the next month of military training, the school would be completely locked down. This gave her a perfect, legitimate excuse to avoid Nathaniel Nathan. She rejoiced internally. ’It’s like the heavens are on my side!’
It was six in the evening when Vera Xavier reached her dorm. She went straight to her room, and when she pushed the door open this time, she saw it was already occupied. The two girls inside looked over at her curiously.
She smiled, said hello, and introduced herself. "I’m Vera Xavier. It’s great to be roommates with you all."
Her philosophy was simple. ’I’ll probably be living with these girls for four years. It never hurts to be on good terms with people.’
The girl sitting by the windowsill eating a piece of fruit looked at Vera Xavier with curiosity. "You’re Vera Xavier?"
She had fair skin, a round face, and big eyes, giving her a very cute appearance. She wasn’t tall, standing at about 1.6 meters.
Vera Xavier smiled and nodded. Thanks to her perfect scores in every subject on the entrance exam, she had become a campus celebrity before the semester even officially began.
"Wow, so this is what you look like!" the girl said with a wide grin. "I’m so lucky! I can’t believe I’m your roommate!"
The girl reading on the bed also looked up, giving Vera Xavier a friendly smile. "I’m Fiona Wright, from Sylas. She’s Shirley Ewing, from Hundale. There’s one more in the washroom doing laundry; you’ll meet her in a bit. She’s a girl from the Northeast named Laura White. We’re all thrilled to be your roommates. During future exams, don’t forget to let us copy your answers—I want to see what a perfect score feels like, too!"
This girl was a little shorter than the previous one, 1.58 meters at most. She had a delicate, oval-shaped face with long, narrow "phoenix eyes" and bangs that covered her forehead. With her long hair resting on her shoulders, she looked very refined.
Vera Xavier replied earnestly, "Sure. I’m just afraid you’ll regret it. You’ll soon find that having a reputation for perfect scores makes you stick out like a sore thumb on campus. It can attract a lot of trouble."
