Chapter 954
Ever since Sienna Stanford and her group visited the campus, Liora Bennett and Reece had hit it off.
They were officially dating now.
“Liora is joining our meeting? Great, I’ll try to wrap things up quickly p>
With that, Mira turned to leave.
That was the best thing about Liora-she was easygoing. If it were Celine Ward, she wouldn’t have shown up, worried people would think she was crashing the party.
“Wait, when are the transit passes getting here?” Reece called after her.
“What’s the rush? The meeting hasn’t even started yet, and you’re not playing games right away p>
“Just make sure you don’t forget, Mira. I already told everyone there’d be prizes. If I come up empty-handed, I’ll look like a total idiot.” Reece still seemed uneasy.
“Hey, you looking like an idiot is your problem, not mine,” Mira teased.
“Mira, hold on. Just come to the meeting with me right now.” Reece panicked, reaching out to stop her.
Mira quickened her pace and disappeared from sight, leaving Reece standing there in a daze.
Wait, what did she mean by that? Was she seriously going to bail on the prizes?
Mira rushed to her meeting spot with Quentin Reed. Quentin, however, was perfectly relaxed. “What’s the fire?” he drawled the moment he saw her. “It’s still early. Half the faculty probably isn’t even here yet p>
Quentin was dragging his feet, casually mentioning he wanted to swing by the club room to grab something.
“Move it. Reece is already hounding me about the class meeting p>
“It’s totally normal for a few people to miss a class meeting. You don’t have to go,” Quentin said carelessly.
“My friend Liora is on her way. She’s joining us for it p>
“Then you can hang out with her after the meeting,” Quentin replied, still slacking.
“Seriously Quentin, when did you get so whiny? I ask you for one favor and you won’t stop complaining. Let’s go. Reece is waiting on those transit passes p>
“What transit passes?” Quentin asked.
“None of your business.” Mira’s guard went up. The guy had absolutely no shame.
“Come on, spit it out. What passes p>
“Drop it. It has nothing to do with you p>
“I’m not moving until you tell me.” His stubborn streak was flaring up again.
Seeing no way out, Mira sighed. “Fine, I’ll tell you. We’re playing games at the class meeting, and I’m giving out transit passes as prizes p>
“Give me one p>
“You want a hundred-dollar transit pass? Since when are you that broke, Quentin p>
“I’m destitute. Forget a hundred bucks, I’d scramble for a single dollar. I even collect empty water bottles to sell in my spare time p>
“Bullshit. I don’t believe a word of that p>
“I swear! I bustle for big money and small change. If it pays, I’m doing it. You’re
a boss you don’t underst
the struggles of us ordinary folks
“Give me a break. Everyone knows I’ve had my share of hard times,” Mira retorted.
“I don’t buy it p>
“Believe what you want p>
“If you’re so broke, hurry up and finish this so you can intern at my company. The pay is decent. A two month summer gig will easily Cover your tuition for next semester p>
“Deal. I’ll take a shot at grad school first. If I bomb the exams, I’ll come work for you p>
Chatting away, the two of them arrived at the door of the Finance Department Dean’s office.
