Chapter 57
He encouraged her softly. “Don’t be afraid. Don’t feel guilty. You guessed those questions blindly. If you can get such a high score, it means that you’re
still smarter than others.”
“But I tremble when I see too many people. People like me might not be born for big occasions.”
“Then you can imagine that I’m under the stage.”
“How should I do it? Based on my imagination? Alright, Mr. Ranford, go ahead to attend your business. I’m fine.”
Alexandra walked to the wardrobe gloomily to put the clothes away.
Julian didn’t say anything. He glanced at her, turned around, and left the room.
Although Alexandra preferred the bubble–sleeved Lolita–style dress, she still listened to Julian’s suggestion.
In the morning, she packed her clothes in her bag and went straight to school.

When she arrived at school, the party had already become everyone’s topic of conversation before it even started.
The attendees of the party were freshmen and transfer students like Alexandra. Therefore, other than the older students who had programs, students like Emery did not have to participate in the party.
After all, there were thousands of freshmen at the University of Highclere every year.
If everyone went to the party, the assembly hall would not be big enough to accommodate so many students.
However, this welcoming party had already attracted everyone’s attention.
“This party is luxurious! The Piano Department’s Kelly is going to be the finale.”
“Martha has a good foundation in dancing. I heard she has formed a group of dancers for the party.”
“Also! William Jolston, the genius in the Department of Mathematics and Science, has a magic show!”
“There’s news! You guys probably don’t know, but there seem to be a few big shots invited this time! It’s said that they’re all big bosses who donate tens of millions to the school every year!”
Alexandra was left speechless by their gossip..
When she was having lunch in the cafeteria in the afternoon, she was overwhelmed by these voices.
After dinner, she went straight to the assembly hall for the final rehearsal with everyone else.
Actually, she did not have any programs. She was just going on stage at the end to give an award.
However, her nervousness was no less than that of her classmates who would perform tonight.
She was sitting in a corner seat in the front row, eating a lollipop. As she was eating, someone walked over and sat beside her.
She turned around and saw that it was William Jolston.
“Alexandra, why are you sitting here alone?”
William was now dressed as a host in a white shirt.
Alexandra actually did not like to talk to him. Perhaps it was because she had unpleasant memories every time she met him.
However, she still smiled at him out of courtesy. “Mr. Jolston, I’m sitting here because it’s cooler here.”

William had always been interested in Alexandra. At first, it was on the school’s website.
Alexandra was the first influential person to be known by everyone before she even entered the school.
First, she fought with Martha Connolly, the daughter of a wealthy family, and then because of the puflageously difficult entrance exam.
He had been paying attention to her for a long time.
Later, when he met her by chance, he realized that she was different from the news reports online.
The real her was a cute little girl. She was frank, brave, and beautiful.
It was hard for him not to be attracted to her.
William said, “I haven’t apologized to you properly. I’m sorry for getting you involved during the opening ceremony.”
“Ah, I didn’t take it to heart. Mr. Jolston, please don’t mention it again.” Alexandra was still annoyed at the thought of the incident. She had been played by Julian.
In the end, the joke was actually herself.
She had almost forgotten it before William’s words reminded her, and she felt awkward again.
However, her reaction made William think she was still fussing about it.
He leaned over slightly and looked at her. “I’m really sorry. There’s nothing between Martha and me. I didn’t expect to meet her there and cause you trouble…”
“Alright, alright, Mr. Jolston, it’s all in the past! Seriously! You don’t have to blame yourself! I don’t care about what’s between you and Martha. You don’t have to explain it to me! I’m really fine!” Alexandra put the lollipop back into her mouth.
Seeing that she did not seem willing to mention it, William gave up and changed the topic.
He added, “Actually, apart from hosting tonight, I also have a show.“”
Alexandra recalled what she heard in the cafeteria and asked, “I heard that you’ll do magic tricks?”
“Yes.” William smiled. When he smiled, he was very charming, revealing a cute canine tooth. No wonder Martha liked him so much. His good look was one in a million.
However, he was not as good–looking as Julian.
Alexandra commented in her heart.
She actually liked watching magic tricks. “But why didn’t I see you rehearse?”
“You’ll see in a while. I was busy with the Student Union before.”
“I see.”
“I need a partner. Would you mind?” William suddenly requested.
Alexandra was shocked.
Her eyes widened with the lollipop in her mouth. “What did you say?”
“I need a partner for my magic trick. But I can’t find the right person. Can you help me?”
“If you don’t agree, it means that you’re still blaming me for what happened at the opening ceremony.”
Chapter 57
“… Mr. Jolston. Cut it out. I don’t know how to do magic tricks” Alexandra took out the lollipop in frustration. She didn’t like William’s words.
William still insisted. “You don’t have to do anything You don’t have to speak You just need to cooperate with me. Just lie down.”
“Lie down?”
“Yes. My magic trick is from the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty. I have prepared my magic tricks well, but I need a beauty,” said William.
Alexandra
‘t feel good. She didn’t want to be in the limelight. It was already torturous enough for her to present awards.
She shook her head. “Tind someone else. I’m not suitable for this kind of occasion. I’ll mess it up for you.”
William laughed self deprecatingly. “I originally had a female classmate as my partner, but she suddenly told me yesterday that her mother was hospitalized and she had to take care of her. And I had a falling out with Martha. Which classmate is willing to help me perform magic?”
“Well…”
“Forget it, Alexandra. If you’re in a difficult position, I’ll tell the production team to cancel my show.” William lowered his head with a pitiful and lonely
expression.
Alexandra’s heart softened for no reason. She hated it when others looked pitiful. Moreover, William was so outstanding, and his grades were so good. He was even bullied by Martha.
Anyway, he said that he only needed her to lie down and did not need to do anything else.
Alexandra replied, “Alright, I’ll help you. But don’t blame me if I mess it up!”
“Don’t worry. You just need to lie down and don’t have to do anything.” When William heard her decision, his expression immediately became happy. “Thank you, Alexandra! I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow or the weekend to repay you!”
“Thank you, but there’s no need to do that!” Alexandra waved her hand and smiled..
“Then let’s find a place to rehearse later. My magic trick is a secret. If not for the fact that I still have to host, I would have to replace Kelly as the finale.”
“Haha.”
What neither of them knew was that their conversation was overheard by Martha, who was backstage.
