Regret Came Too Late

After getting back in her car, Grace quickly found a few Druville College students

and asked them questions. It didn't take long to find out the name of the so-called

Al genius everyone was after.

When she finally tracked him down, he was sitting quietly at a table with his nose

buried in a book. Her brain practically short-circuited at the sight of him.

"Jasper Thorne?" she blurted out.

Jasper looked up from his book, blinking before quickly dropping his gaze back

down.

At that moment, Grace genuinely wanted to drag Liam out and beat him up all

over again. So, Jasper was the genius in Al who Liam had bullied back then?

She strode over and sat down beside him. "Is this seat taken? I'd like to have a

"word with you."

Jasper's expression stayed calm and indifferent as if he weren't all that fond of

talking. He simply replied, "No."

Taking that as permission, Grace slid into the seat and got straight to the point.

"You're graduating in a year. Have you thought about what you want to do after

that?"

Jasper was even more direct than she expected. "Do you want me to join your

company?"

Clearly, he'd been following the news online. He wasn't nearly as aloof as he

looked.

Grace felt a flicker of awkwardness. But she recovered quickly, slipping back into

business mode.
