Do You Miss Me
Only fifty students would get selected for early admission. A total of five hundred students had taken
the exam that time around, but the acceptance rate was a measly ten percent.
Arielle led the students from Jadeborough University to view the admission list.
As the area around the notice board was crowded, it took them a while to squeeze past the students
and make their way to the front.
There were only fifty successful candidates, so it was easy to spot their names.
Using his tall height to his advantage, Jared managed to spot Jadeborough University on the list and
the names listed behind it: Jared Jupiter, Terry Fuller, Trisha Hughes.
His eyes lit up as he turned to Trisha. “You got in!”
“What?” Trisha could not believe her ears.
She craned her neck to glance at the list herself. Seeing that she was struggling, he put his hands on
her waist and hoisted her up.
Utterly shocked, Trisha parted her lips and promptly forgot what she wanted to do.
“Did you see your name?” Jared asked from underneath her.
Snapping back to reality, she blushed crimson and turned to look at the list.
True to Jared’s words, her name was on the list with “Department of Arts” behind it.
“Did you see your name?” Jared repeated his question.
Trisha stammered out a reply. “Y-Yes.”
As her feet landed on the ground, he beamed and said, “I didn’t lie, right? You got accepted.”
Before she could say anything, Terry hollered excitedly, “I got accepted! I got accepted!”
He had reacted in a dramatic manner.
Chuckling, Arielle said, “Congratulations to those who got accepted. For those who weren’t, please
don’t be disappointed. Think of it as an experience. You’ll know what to improve on before taking the
worldwide standardized test later this year.”
The rest did not get their hopes high from the start. Despite their disappointment, they plastered smiles
on their faces and congratulated Jared, Trisha, and Terry.
The chance to visit Maxwell University was itself an honor to them.
After all, it was not easy to get admitted into Maxwell University. If every applicant were accepted,
Maxwell University would not be known as the top university in the world.
“Three out of six got accepted. That’s a great achievement. Come on; I’ll treat everyone to lunch,”
Arielle offered.
At her invitation, the students leaped with joy.
Suddenly, a large hand patted Arielle’s shoulder.
That had her spin around in shock.
“Vinson?” she blurted out upon meeting Vinson’s adoring gaze.
His lips quirked up. “Do you miss me?”
Instead of giving him a reply, Arielle flung her arms around him in front of the students.
I do. I miss you a lot.
Vinson’s smile widened as he returned her hug. His arms wrapped around her so tightly as though he
wanted to merge their bodies into one.
The tactful Jared immediately piped up, “Let’s go, fellas. I’ll pay for the meal this time around. We’ll ask
Boss to treat us after we go home.”
The others agreed readily. After casting one last curious look at the couple, they left with Jared.
Vinson then led Arielle away from the crowd.
“You should’ve told me you were coming over,” she whined.
He caught me off guard. I was so anxious to see the results this morning that I left my room after
brushing my teeth. I didn’t even brush my hair!
The man read her mind and reached out to smoothen her hair. His face broke into a gentle smile, and
he reassured, “You’re always pretty.”
Arielle felt a blush creeping up her cheeks. She parted her lips to speak, but her ringtone sounded
before she could say anything.
After fishing out her phone from her pocket, she saw it was a call from Selena.
“Give me a minute,” she said and answered the call.
“Hello, Ms. Selena.”
Instead of Selena’s voice, the president’s voice rang out. “San, Selena told me you want to talk to me.”
