The raise of Maureen Smith and her Good Luck System-Chapter 39 - Subconscious glance
Chapter 39: Subconscious glance
Chapter 39: Subconscious glance
Other than the time when Maureen applied medicine on him, he had never held a girl’s hand before.
And not just one hand, but both!
His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, doing anything to avoid thinking about their intertwined hands.
Although he felt that he and Maureen should have reached this stage by now, wasn’t she being a bit too casual about it?!
Suddenly holding hands before the exam!
A familiar figure suddenly walked outside.
Liam took a subconscious glance and recognized the face.
He had seen him in the library before, named…
Laurel something.
Just as he noticed this person, the exam bell rang.
The person hurried towards the top-tier class.
Maureen dropped his hand and said,
“Hurry up and take the exam, hope you do well.”
They held hands for 15 minutes and suddenly it felt like ten sprouts had grown!
Maureen felt a bit more confident about the exam!
—Is that it?
Liam looked incredulous at Maureen.
Wasn’t the first time holding hands something to write in one’s diary?
Why was she so casual about it?
It felt just as casual as the time she confessed her feelings in the library.
She didn’t even say the proper words of confession!
How could he possibly accept her?
Liam stared at Maureen for a while until the proctoring teacher on the podium couldn’t help but cough, and came in front of him to block his sight:
“Focus on your exam.” Liam then took his eyes back.
After a while, the proctoring teacher walked away, and Liam’s gaze inevitably returned.
But this time, his attention fell on Maureen’s speed of answering the exam.
What the hell?
Was she just writing gibberish?
Why was she writing so fast?
Wasn’t she transferred from a regular class?
=========
Ignoring his mother’s astonishment and resistance, Oliver fired Daniel’s mother and planned to look for Maureen once again.
This time, he would have a proper talk.
There was only one week left before the birthday banquet, and his urge to take her back was getting urgent.
I heard that their school was having exams, so Oliver waited patiently for two days.
After the exams were over that afternoon, he had his assistant drive, carrying the clothes that were brought back untouched by the nanny, and went straight to A Middle School.
This time, Oliver did not go to the International section to look for Maureen as he did last time.
Coming to terms with reality, he knew that if he went to find her as he did before, Maureen would probably walk away before he could say a few sentences, and there would be no progress.
He planned to first find Maureen’s head teacher and class teacher, have them bring Maureen over, and give him and Maureen a space for conversation.
Oliver was also at his wit’s end dealing with the task of reining in a rebellious girl, a task that he, a 25-year-old man, had never done before.
Moreover, he had only attended parent-teacher meetings for the junior year of Bianca before, never for Maureen.
Thus when he had the car parked outside the school and entered, he was at a loss, unsure where to find Maureen’s head teacher and class teacher.
They should not be in their office right after invigilating an exam, right?
Oliver was about to throw his car keys to his assistant for him to park when he suddenly spotted a familiar figure coming out of a convenience store.
The girl had a bag of snacks in her hands and recognized him first, calling out cheerfully,
“Uncle Oliver!” Oliver: “Who might you be?” The girl approached, saying, “I’m Noella, really close with Bianca.
I’ve been to your house before, but you had just returned from the office and went straight to your study, so you probably didn’t notice me.”
Oliver nodded: “Ah, hello.” Oliver is quite handsome and young.
Dressed in a crisp white shirt and black suit, he stood out on the campus, and anyone passing by would give him a second look.
Consequently, everyone also took a second look at Noella.
Noella’s face instantly grew hot.
She asked: “Did you come looking for Bianca?”
“No,” Oliver shook his head, then thought of how Noella was in the same class as Bianca, and the Regular and International sections were in the same building.
They should share the same head teacher, so he asked: “I’m looking for your headteacher, do you happen to know where he might be at the moment?”
Oliver was handsome, which made Noella unable to help herself but said a few more words: “What do you need from our head teacher?”
However, Oliver replied, “Just tell me where he is, if you don’t know, I’ll ask around.”
Noella passed behind him, noticing his assistant standing in front of the car, holding bags of all shapes and sizes.
It seemed like those bags contained gifts.
Was it because of Bianca’s birthday banquet, and he wanted to present gifts to the head teacher and their Classroom teacher, and invite them?
So he found it inconvenient to explain?
With realization, Noella felt an even stronger twinge of envy towards Bianca.
Her brother was so good-looking, so doting, and even thoughtful enough to bring gifts for the head teacher because of her.
No wonder both the head teacher and the Classroom teacher were extremely supportive of Bianca.
Noella cheerfully said: “Let me take you there.”
Oliver then entered the head teacher’s office.
Noella turned and left.
As she exited the head teacher’s office, she bumped into Bianca, who had just left the piano classroom.
Running up to her, Noella grabbed her arm: “Guess who I just saw visiting our school?”
Bianca: “Who?”
“Your big brother,” Noella chuckled, whispering in Bianca’s ear: “His assistant was carrying loads of bags.
They were searching for our head teacher and our Classroom teacher.
I think he’s here because of your birthday banquet.
After all, we’re third-year students now, and he hopes the teachers will take extra care of you, so he secretly brings gifts.”
Bianca glanced toward the head teacher’s office, a shy blush creeping onto her face.

Her whole family pampered her immensely.
While her second brother, Oliver, defended her the most, for some reason, her eldest brother, Oliver, held a special appeal for her.
Perhaps it was because he was exceptionally gentle in his actions and words.
Since she was a child, she adored sticking to her older brother.
As she grew up into a young girl and found out that she was not the biological daughter of the Smith family, her initial reaction was sadness and panic, but when she looked at Oliver, there was an expectation and joy that surged from the bottom of her heart.
A faint flutter of emotions began to conjure in Bianca’s heart, but she couldn’t quite define what it was yet.
But there was no doubt that her big brother was very good to her.
Her slight unhappiness from the last time in the living room when her brother didn’t come to comfort her, immediately swept away.
She guessed that day; her elder brother must have been tied up with some issues at his company, and was not in a good mood.
“I will treat you to a hotpot,” Bianca said happily, “Then after we finish, we can call brother to pick us up.”
Noella couldn’t help but show a bit of envy, “It feels like you’re a princess, you’re really so fortunate.”
While the two of them were talking and coming downstairs, they suddenly saw Maureen walking upstairs.
They met in the stairwell.
Upon seeing Maureen, Noella deliberately raised her voice a bit, ” Bianca, your brother has come to find you at school again, and he’s given you so many things.
He’s really good to you!” Maureen”
So was she expected to show an envious expression accordingly?
Bianca hastily covered Noella’s mouth, nodded at Maureen, laughed with Noella, and hurriedly ran off.
As Maureen continued her way upstairs, she wondered why the head teacher suddenly wanted to see her.
