Alexander walked straight in. “I’ll send you over after breakfast.” Elise made a sound of affirmation and hurriedly sat down at the dining table.

The Tissot University signage, all in capitals, was clearly visible in the picture. Right after that, Mikayla sent a voice message. ‘Look, Elise! I got into Tissote University!’ Elise smiled as she recorded her reply. ‘Congrats!’

Mikayla quickly sent her another message. ‘I just decided to try it out and see when I took their entrance exam. I had low expectations, but then I passed! And I thought that I could only get into some regular uni with my university entrance exam scores. Who would have thought that I would end up getting such a huge surprise?’ ‘That’s wonderful! We can go to the same university!’ ‘Hey, I heard that you’re working at Brendan’s atelier, yeah? Send me the address—I’ll come over in a bit.’ Elise sent the location to Mikayla. She then put down her phone and looked at Alexander. “Mikayla got into Tissote University too. We can go to class together now. But, Mikayla got in as a music major.

don’t have one for now, but I’ll get a boyfriend sooner or later. It’s just—you’ll probably get married earlier than me. You and Alexander are in such a steady relationship. Are you planning to get married after you graduate?” Elise had already thought about this. “If we do feel that way by then, then most likely yes!” “Whoa there, are you serious? You’ll only be 22 by the time you’re done with uni!” “That’s not young anymore, at least when going by marriage laws.” Mikayla pursed her lips. “But I want to be at least 30 when I get married.” “So what? I just feel that there’s no definite age to get
