His Eagle Eyes on Me

Lucas' face appeared in Ivy's mind.

She knew that she might be in love with Lucas, or she would not have gone all the way to Edelweiss just to see his university. She had felt happy despite not being able to see him.

"Layla... I..." Ivy did not want to tell Layla about Lucas as she knew that the chances of her meeting Lucas again were slim.

"Why are you blushing? Are you shy? You haven't found anyone you like, or are you too shy to tell me about the guy you like?" Layla studied the look on Ivy's face. "It's fine. You will find someone even better. I'm sure there are plenty of brilliant boys in your university."

Ivy nodded. "I guess, but I don't know them, nor do I want to get to know them. I just want to focus on my studies."

"Do you like studying that much?"

Ivy nodded again. "I like what I'm studying, and since I fall short in a lot of aspects, I want to be better."

"You are so ambitious! I could never be like you." Layla realized that she had never been so dedicated to anything. Since she was a child, she had all the resources and tutors she needed for anything she wanted to learn, so she was placed in an environment that allowed her to learn quickly; therefore, she had never felt that she fell short on anything like Ivy did. Even when there were things that she knew nothing of, she would often tell herself that she would be able to master them soon.
