“Mr. Sawyer, I think you’re aware that I haven’t actually spent much time on campus throughout my two years here.”

She always had places to be.

“That’s not a problem! You can just come by to do your research whenever you have the time. I have no expectations regarding your attendance.” All he wanted was for her to continue studying here. “You’re a star, Sophie! I don’t want you to enter society too soon.

“Thank you, Mr. Sawyer.”

Dominic had always been nice to her.
