Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 785:

“What?” Araceli was taken aback by Silver Fox’s question. Her eyes were wide and shimmering as she struggled to make sense of what she had just heard. Words tumbled out in a flurry of confusion. “Elin, you and Mr. Hoffman barely know each other, right? How can you possibly like him? And you’re really considering marrying him just to help me? Even though I’m your student—hopefully a future perfumer with Minty Fragrances and Perfumes—you surely don’t need to go to such lengths for me, do you?”

Silver Fox just chuckled, her amusement growing as she continued to tease Araceli. “A good teacher is like a candle—it consumes itself to light the way for others. I’d even marry an old geezer if it meant supporting you, let alone a handsome and rich man like Mr. Hoffman.”

Araceli gazed at Silver Fox, her feelings a complex tapestry of admiration and skepticism. She was moved by the depth of Elin’s kindness. Yet, something felt off.

As Araceli was lost in her thoughts, Burnet stepped up, taking Silver Fox’s hand with a smile. “Enough teasing,” he said warmly. “Let’s head out. The City Hall is about to open.”

He guided Silver Fox out, leaving Araceli in the room, her gaze lingering on the doorway long after they had left.

Araceli let out a scream of frustration, tousling her hair in exasperation. Although no one was around to see her mortification, she desperately wished for a hole to vanish into.

She had genuinely believed that Burnet was set on marrying her—a laughable notion that he had harbored affection for her since she was a toddler.
