Love in Twilight

Chapter 558 Is It Because of Professor Kirk?

Damien went back to Genovia the very next day as Clarissa was worried about Neil being on his own.

She had a class on Wednesday.

Halfway through the class, Mr. Dwight summoned her.

“Miss Johnson, your posting to Genovia just came through. You need to sign this so I can fax it to them.

The university’s taking care of the rest of the procedures.” He then pulled out a few documents.

Clarissa was lost.

“What posting?”

“Oh, you’re being posted at the University of Genovia as a lecturer, and it’s going to be approved soon.

You can start teaching the moment you get there,” Mr. Dwight said amicably.

“I didn’t ask to be transferred to the University of Genovia, though.” She was beside herself with

surprise. She liked being at the University of Florin, as it was where Grandpa Lawrence had once

taught. Why would she suddenly want to go to the University of Genovia?

“Well, that’s information that I’m not privy to. All I know is I’m supposed to handle the procedures for

you. You can leave the University of Florin and report at the University of Genovia by tomorrow.”

“What?” Didn’t this mean that she was basically being kicked out of the University of Florin?

Was this Damien’s doing?

“Hurry up, Miss Johnson. Aren’t you happy that you’ll be able to go back to your hometown?” Mr.

Dwight was full of smiles. He seemed to be genuinely happy for her.

Despite her confusion and the vague sense that she’d been played, Clarissa still signed the

documents.

She was a little absent-minded, but she still finished her lecture.

After class, she sent Damien a WhatsApp message.

Clarissa: [Why am I being transferred from the University of Florin to the University of Genovia? Don’t

things like these normally take at least half a year?]

Damien: [Oh, that. I donated a building to the University of Genovia.]

Clarissa was speechless.

Money truly made the world go round!

Now that she was experienced enough, all Damien had to do was donate a building to get her

transferred to the University of Genovia.

However, she had yet to finish her research project. Plus, she also had her students to contend with.

Mr. Dwight sent her a message telling her to pack her things up and report to the University of Genovia

the very next day.

Clarissa wondered whether she should thank Damien for arranging everything for her so quickly.

Clarissa: [What do I do with my things?]

Damien: [Don’t worry about it. Someone will pack everything up for you.]

She was, once again, lost for words.

This meant that he wanted her to just drop everything and leave.

Clarissa was reluctant to leave, though. This was her first job after getting her doctorate…

Most of the people on campus didn’t know that she was transferring to the University of Genovia as it

had happened on such short notice. The first people to find out were Rem and Lisa. After all, they were

her students.

They made a trip to Clarissa’s place.

“Miss Johnson, I can’t believe you’re leaving just like this! Who knows who’s going to guide us from

here?” Lisa was surprised and understandably upset

“Isn’t it all the same?” Clarissa had yet to get over her shock, but she couldn’t show it in front of her

students. She had to comfort them, regardless of her own feelings.

“Of course not! All the other professors in our faculty are rather old, and it’s hard to get along with

them.”

Clarissa patted her on the shoulder. “It’s all my fault.”

Lisa lowered her voice and said in a secretive whisper, “Miss Johnson, does this sudden transfer have

anything to do with Professor Kirk? We heard she went to your workplace and threatened to jump off

the building. I’d be pissed off if I were in your shoes! It’s a good thing your husband has the means to

get you out of here.”

Clarissa didn’t say anything.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
