CHAPTER 20
Today was the day of Debra’s entrance exam. In his office, Juan glanced at the time on his computer and asked, “Has Debra gone to the exam?”
“Mrs. Nichols left early this morning. By now, she should have already entered the exam room,” Joe replied.
Juan nodded. “Did you inform the principal?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“I did, but…”
“But what?”
“The principal said since Mrs. Nichols is taking the graduate entrance exam, there’s no need for interference. He believes she won’t pass.”
“Graduate exam?”
Juan had thought Debra was taking the college entrance exam.
He believed that Debra must be out of her mind.
“Let her be,” Juan said indifferently.
Debra could embarrass herself as she liked.
Debra arrived at the exam room. She was the youngest one there, catching the examiners‘ attention.
Most of the examinees were finance professionals nearing their thirties, some of whom Debra had seen on TV. It showed the college’s reputation in finance education.
Shelia lingered in the hallway of the teaching building.
Freshmen exams should be in this building, but she couldn’t find Debra in any of those rooms.
She wondered if Debra had given up.
Shelia breathed a sigh of relief. If so, it would save her a lot of trouble.
“Shelia, what are you doing here?” Carrie entered the building and spotted Shella.
“I was about to go to Building Two for class, Let’s go together,” Shelia said.
“Building Two is also an exam venue today. Let’s go to Building Three for class, Carrie said.
“Really?”
Shelia checked her phone and, indeed, Building Two was for graduate exams today.
However, very few were admitted for postgraduate studies each year. Shelia was the only one in their Junior year preparing for it, and she would have to wait until next year to take the exam.
Carrie suggested, “Shall we go take a look? They say this year’s questions are difficult. It might be good for you to get some insights.”
“Sounds good.”
There wasn’t much to do in today’s classes anyway. They could ask Wendy to help with attendance.
“Let’s hurry then!”
Carrie grabbed Shelia’s hand, and they ran to Building Two.
Shelia knew what Carrie was thinking. Carrie didn’t really want to check out the graduate exam questions, She wanted to hook up with rich people.
Most students at this school came from wealthy families, and many who came to take the graduate exam were successful professionals in the industry.
Sure enough, halfway there, Carrie excitedly said, “I heard Mr. Jordan Potter is here too. There must be a lot of people going to watch. If we’re late, we might miss it.”
Shelia couldn’t help but be curious.
The Potter family owned the largest bank in Seamar City. Although they kept a low profile, there were rumors that their wealth was enough to build a new city.
Carrie looked around and suddenly exclaimed, “It seems to be here.”
Shelia looked over and saw a crowd outside the exam room. They were all eagerly watching what was happening inside.
“Excuse me!”
Carrie got through the crowd with Shelia, and as soon as they reached the door, Shelia saw Debra sitting at the front table.
