Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 147

Jessica lifted her hand. "I'm sorry, Professor."

"It's all right, it's all right. Everyone settles down eventually-men get married, women do too. There's nothing wrong with your decision. But, about what we discussed back in New York, have you thought it through?"

Ines had almost agreed to Timothy-truthfully, she hadn't found anyone more suitable.

Thankfully, there was still Jessica.

Jessica wasn't sure how to turn down the offer.

After a moment, she gestured with her hands. "Professor, have you considered Sheila?"

Jessica didn't exactly dislike Sheila. Sheila wasn't someone she cared about, so she didn't feel strongly either way.

But Sheila had gotten involved in her family, so Jessica couldn't really feel warmly toward her.

Still, she wasn't the kind of person who let personal feelings cloud her judgment.

She'd seen Sheila's animation work—her technique and skills were excellent, and her creativity bold, even international in style.

She was still young, yet had already won several awards abroad.

Jessica understood what her professor wanted. If Sheila became her student, she could bring those international influences to the program.
