Mr. President’s 65
Chapter 65
The next day. Linda left the house earlier for school, planning to avoid any soninizing gazes of her peers.
Arriving there, jaws dropped as those who were never nice to her suddenly wanted to be her friend.
Gwen ran in her direction with an astonished look on her face. “Linda, what is this? You better start talking.”
Everything Linda wore from head to toe was designer brands, and even without putting on any makeup like always, the magie done to her blonde
hair made her stand out.
The transformation was too will, and if not for Linda’s innocent smile, Gwen would have thought it was Lily.
“We have a class, let’s talk after.” Linda said shyly. It was not her fault that the maids discarded all her old clothes, so she was forced to make do with
the new ones.
This was not her style, but for Oliver, she was willing to do anything to make him as
as he made her
“Hey Linda, you look fantastic. Mind if we hook up after class?” One of the popular guys in college asked her. She was flattered, but her man was hotter, richer, and more powerful.
Even if he wasn’t all those things, he was the first to love and make her feel loved. He was also the first man she fell in love with and did not intend for things to be any different.
She flung her ring. “Sorry, I’m engaged, but don’t worry. I will give you a wedding invitation.”
The students gathered around her were all stunned by the news and the swag in her attitude. Oliver boosted her confidence.
Just Friday. Linda was like a dead chicken, and on Monday, she comes to school looking like a superstar and claiming to be getting married?
“Linda, where did you get that ring?” Gwen asked seriously, too shocked by the news and wondering if that was the reason Linda could not speak when she called her on the phone the other day.
Could it be that he was with the said mysterious man?
“Do you want us to be late for class?” Linda asked, not ready to start something she could not finish.
Gwen swallowed her questions, but just as they were about to enter the class, Linda’s phone buzzed.
Bringing it out, they were:

“Answer it, who is it!” Gwen asked and urged. Linda smiled and did so without mentioning the person’s identity. Oliver’s deep anxious voice rang C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“I was just about to enter the meeting room and was worried when you weren’t answering my calls. I would have foregone the meeting to come check on you, so please don’t do that again.”
He was so worried about her. The distance was already killing him, so the least she could do was to make him feel safe.
Linda could hear the blend of anxiety and jealousy in his tone, remembering how he promised to call her at least three times every day.
This man was so crazy about her that it felt like a dream. “It won’t happen again. I have a lecture in the next two minutes and was headed to class
Oliver was missing her already and could not get her out of his mind for just the time she was going to spend at the lecture hall, wondering if he had the same effect on her
“Okay. All the best, but are you okay? Did you sleep well?” He asked worriedly
Linda’s gaze met that of Gwen, as if she wanted to eat her from the anxiety of knowing who Linda was speaking to on the phone.
“Yes, I slept well,” Linda sail Gwen’s gaze was scrutinizing, especially when she could I guess Linda was speaking to a man.
Something was so different about her aside from her shocking look, and Gwen was determined to find out more about it
Wow, that makes me jealous because I couldn’t sleep. I was missing you so much” Oliver sand honestly, Linda felt trapped, not knowing what to
So many gazes were panned on her, and she knew they were listening to every word coming out of her mouth.
“We shall see each other over the w

romantic chat with her man, but Oliver was already having strange ideas.
“Well, I changed my mind,” he said. Linda was confused and asked, “you don’t want to see me?” Her heart was already bleeding until she realized it wasn’t what she was thinking.
“On the contrary, I want to show you my world. How about I send a jet to pick you up as soon as you are done with lectures on Friday?”
Linda’s heart was thumping wildly with a lot of excitement filling it. She missed him too, but traveling for almost eight hours away from her family was a little risky.
“Ehm.”
“You don’t want to come?” Oliver sounded disappointed from the end of the line due to the way he wanted her by his side. It felt as if she did not feel the same way, but how wrong he was.
Their time together brought out of her everything she never knew existed, and she was expectant about knowing his world,
“I was rather thinking that I set off on Thursday night because it’s an eight–hour journey. I have just one lecture on Friday and could get the from my best friend.”
She could hear his relief sigh from the end of the line. “I promise you won’t regret this. I love you,”

Linda’s cheeks pinked, and she responded, “same here,” but Oliver was not having it. That was not the kind of response he expected from her
“Are you afraid to say that you love me?” He sounded displeased, suspicious, and irritated.
Linda was sweating bullets due to the curious gazes all around her. “It’s not that I
“You know what, put the phone on speaker,” he cut in Linda felt he was insane. What exactly was he planning to do?
