Chapter 136: Needles

When Tina arrived, Professor Lininger was visibly excited to introduce her to someone. "Tina, let me introduce you to Silas Blackwood, an old friend's son who has just returned to the city. Like you, he's a tech genius. You should find some time to exchange ideas."

"Hello, Tina," said Silas Blackwood, offering his right hand. Tina took a longer look at him. She had seen many handsome men and beautiful women, but it was the first time she had seen a man who could be described as 'beautiful.' "Hello, Mr. Blackwood," she replied, shaking his hand despite his cold demeanor.

"Mr. Hollingsworth was so unlucky yesterday," Professor Lininger sighed. "He was walking down the street when a car rushed out and hit him. He's now lying in the hospital, so he won't be able to attend the upcoming French classes for Class 22D."

Patting Silas Blackwood's shoulder with a smile, he added, "Luckily, Silas is back. With exams only a month away, he'll have to fill in."

Tina remained silent, sizing up Silas Blackwood who, noticing her stare, awkwardly reached into his pocket and handed her a piece of paper. "Don't worry, I got my license. I assure you, your students will be in good hands." Professor Lininger couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I chose him because he's capable. Tina trusts my judgment, right?"

"Mr. Blackwood, we're counting on you," Tina nodded, not adding anything more.

After Professor Lininger and Silas Blackwood left, Tina stood there, watching his retreating figure.

"Tina, there you go again, eyeing another man behind my back," Jared Farrell appeared suddenly, his tone tinged with jealousy.

"I can't help it if he's good-looking," Tina chuckled, half-seriously.

"Is he better looking than me?" Jared glanced at the distant figure of Silas Blackwood, his eyes darkening as he pressed for an answer.
