Chapter 21
Many boys gathered around immediately, and even Nathaniel was looking in that direction.
Richard also looked in that direction with a curious expression on his face.
The girl who had just stepped out of the car was indeed very beautiful, and Richard also knew who she was. In fact, they had just met not too long ago.
Who else would it have been if it was not Mila?
“Ahh. She is so beautiful! It would be perfect if she could become my girlfriend.” The boy who was standing next to Nathaniel said, his eyes filled with affection.
He looked like a fool at this time.
“D*mn you! Who said that you could dream about her ever becoming your girlfriend?! Let me tell you, this is the girl our Brother Victor is interested in! You can just treat her as eye candy, but you should not hope for her to ever become your girlfriend!” Nathaniel said in a disgusted tone.
“Ahh! Brother Victor. No wonder. Brother Victor is so handsome, and it’s no wonder why the girl that he likes is also so extraordinary!”
When the other boy heard the name ‘Victor’, he naturally took a step back and drooped a little.
Brother Victor was none other than Victor Wright, the vice president of the student union in the Department of Language and Literature. Everyone knew that he came from a very well-to-do family and that he drove an Audi A6. There was not a single person in university who did not know who he was.
How could anyone possibly afford to offend him?
“Who dares to ask this beauty for her phone number? If anyone can give me her phone number, I am willing to pay you fifteen dollars for it!”
“It’s useless. Someone tried to ask for her number earlier, but she refused to give it!”
“Furthermore, didn’t you hear what that kid said just now? That beautiful girl is the girl that Victor is currently pursuing...”
“Victor is the one who drives the Audi A6 in our school. He specially arranged for someone to come here to keep an eye on his girl today!”
Some of the girls were very dissatisfied at this time. After all, Mila’s appearance and her beauty far eclipsed the rest of them.
Everyone was gazing intensely at Mila.
Richard was also no exception and was also staring at Mila.
Smack!
At this time, a small pebble hit his face out of the blue.
What? Who did it?!
Richard turned around and saw Quinn glaring at him.
“Richard, you pauper! Who gave you the right to look at that beautiful girl?! Do you have to look just because the other guys are also looking at her? Don’t you know your own place at all?”
Quinn was a little unhappy because she would have to have dinner with Nathaniel after losing her bet with him because of Richard. Besides, she was also jealous and envious of Mila.
Was she not good enough to attract the attention of a pauper?
“Quinn, you’re crazy! What do you think you’re doing?!” Richard cursed out loud as he was extremely annoyed.
He really wanted to straighten things out with Nathaniel and Quinn.
“Richard!” Just then, Mila, who had just stepped out of the car, quickly greeted and called out to Richard as soon as she saw him.
Mila had been in a hurry earlier because she had had to come here for her driving lessons.
Unexpectedly, she was closely watched and stared at by the group of boys as soon as she had arrived.
Most girls enjoyed the feeling of being watched and stared at by boys. However, Mila could not help but feel very awkward and embarrassed because they had been staring at her from the very beginning to the end. They were even intensely looking on as she was practicing her driving.
Fortunately, Mila had seen Richard as soon as she stopped the car.
Mila did not know anyone in the entire training ground, and the only person that she knew was Richard.
At this time, Richard also smiled as he nodded slightly at Mila.
“Oh my God! Why does it seem as though sister-in-law knows this pauper?” Nathaniel was very confused.
Even the other boys were staring at Richard with a curious and appalled look on their faces.
“Why does it seem as though this poorly dressed person actually knows the goddess?!”
“Moreover, it seems as though he has a very good relationship with the goddess! Both of them are talking and laughing together!
Everyone’s jealous and suspicious gazes were all projected and fixed on Richard at this time. They really could not understand why the goddess could become friends with someone like him when she was not even interested in looking at any of them.
Truth be told, Richard was also very surprised.
“Unexpectedly, you are also learning how to drive here...” Richard smiled slightly.
“Yes! I came and registered for the class yesterday! I think both of us are really fated! By the way, thank you so much for paying for my milk tea earlier this afternoon...”
Richard’s conversation with Mila was very simple.
Aside from Xavia and Naomi, Richard hardly had any other female friends at all. Thus, he did not have much experience when it came to speaking to girls, and he did not know how to start a conversation at all.
He could only ask a question when he thought about it or answer a question when someone asked him one.
Even though the speaker did not intend for anything, mindless listeners could take their words seriously.
Nathaniel frowned as soon as he heard that Richard had paid for Mila’s milk tea.
He could tell that both of them obviously knew each other. Moreover, Richard had paid for Mila’s milk tea? Was there something more than this between them?
As he thought about it, Nathaniel immediately sent a text message to Victor.
Then, Nathaniel looked at Richard who was about to continue chatting with Mila before he said, “Richard, are you here to practice how to drive, or did you come here to chat with girls? It must have already been hard enough for you to save enough money to pay for your driving lessons. Aren’t you going to pay more attention to the driving lessons instead?”
Several girls who were standing at the side also looked at Richard with contempt in their hearts. They had initially thought that this person was quite honest, but it seemed as though he had completely lost his train of thoughts as soon as he saw a beautiful girl.
Mila could tell clearly that Nathaniel was attacking Richard, so she quickly defended him. “Nathaniel, what are you trying to say? Why are you attacking Richard? You have failed Subject Two twice but you are still attacking others in vain. If you have that much time, you should focus on studying by yourself instead.”
“I...” Nathaniel’s face turned black immediately.
Vroom!
At this time, the sound of a car roaring suddenly sounded near the playground.
Everyone turned to look in that direction in an instant.
After that, a few of the girls pointed outside as they shouted, “Wow! That Audi A6 is so beautiful!”
“Oh my! Does that car belong to the Brother Victor that he was talking about earlier? I heard that he’s the vice president of the student union for the Department of Language and Literature!”
“So cool!”
The group of girls could not help but look at the direction of the car enthusiastically.
Meanwhile, the car finally stopped in front of Mila, and the tall Victor stepped out of the car immediately, Whitney following suit.
As soon as Victor got out of the car, his eyes naturally fell on Mila and Richard.
He could not believe it when he received the text message from Nathaniel earlier. However, he realized that Mila was indeed standing next to Richard at this time.
“Mila, do you know Richard personally?” Victor asked curiously.
He was afraid that Mila might have fallen for Richard’s petty tricks and lies.
“We met and got to know each other today. What’s the matter?” Mila was very displeased with Victor’s questioning tone.
