“sure, Mr.
Campbell,” Avalynn replied with a smile.
Then she turned to Ferdinand and asked, “Will you join us tonight?”
This time, Ferdinand agreed, “Sure, I’ll be there.
”
Saul, overhearing their chat, nodded happily.
“Great, that’s sorted then.
Get ready after my ss, and we’ll all go out for dinner.
”
Once Saul left, Avalynn immediately turned to Ferdinand.
“Who’s this favorite student Mr.
Campbell mentioned? I’m really curious.
”
“She works on project research in theb.
She’s not often around, but she’s pretty sharp with her work.
” Ferdinand looked at her and added, “You’ll meet her at dinner.
”
Avalynn wanted to ask more, but Ferdinand was already heading into theb.
She just shrugged and went back to her studies.
Later that evening, after ss, Saul called Hannah.
“Where are you, Hannah?”
“I’m at a friend’s ce near campus.
She hurt her leg, and I’m helping out for a few days.
”
Saul perked up.
“Perfect.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
We’re having a dinner gathering tonight.
I told them my best student would join.
Why don’t youe along?”
“Really, old man? Using me to impress again?”
Saul yfully let out a deep sigh on the other end of the phone and joked, “What am I supposed to do? Without using your name, who would even consider learning from me?”
“You already have a solid reputation, yet you keep using my name.
Are you nning something against me again?”
“How can you think that? Before you head overseas,e have dinner with me!”
Hannah chuckled and agreed, “Alright, I’ll be there soon.
”
That evening, Saul, Avalynn, and Ferdinand headed to a restaurant near the school.
They parked the car and walked into the restaurant together.
Avalynn scanned the ce with curiosity, her first time in such an affordable restaurant.
Saul was excited about picking up the tab, which was why they were all there.
Saul introduced Avalynn to everyone, and she greeted them warmly with a smile.
“Hi, I’m Avalynn Bailey.
It’s a pleasure to meet you all.
