Vera smiled faintly and said in a moderate tone, “You don’t need to tell me this as long as you can convince yourself.”
Claudia could not hide her panic and said, “I won’t continue talking nonsense with you anymore. I’ll go down and wait for Charlie to arrive so I can bring him up when he is here.”
Vera asked her, “Has your brother arrived?”
Claudia said without hesitation, “Not yet, but I will go down and wait for him for a while so as not to waste time by going down only after he has arrived.”
Vera stopped teasing Claudia and nodded slightly as she said, “Thank you, Claudia. I won’t be going down with you as I’m having a really severe headache. Please let him know on my behalf, lest he think that I have no manners.”
Claudia nodded and said, “Okay, you can just wait in the dormitory. I’ll inform the dormitory manager and bring Charlie up. Charlie is very capable, so your migraine will definitely be cured once he’s here!”
After saying that, Claudia hurriedly left the dormitory and went downstairs to wait.
Vera had been forcing a smile despite her severe headache, and she suddenly had a very weak and pained expression after Claudia left. However, Vera still subconsciously came to the mirror and calmed herself down after looking into the mirror. She ran her fingers through her hair and rubbed her cheeks to make her facial muscles less tense as she did not want Charlie to see her looking so ill.
More than ten minutes later, Charlie arrived at Aurous University. He drove directly to the girls’ dormitory for international students. Just as he was about to call Claudia, he realized that Claudia was already standing by the roadside.
Claudia recognized Charlie’s car license plate as well and ran toward him with a delighted expression.
By the time Charlie stopped the car and pushed the car door open, Claudia had already come to his car and said a little shyly, “Charlie, you’re here…”
