First Love Novel 82

Chapter 82

Simon unexpectedly stepped off the stage and began walking toward Elena.

She felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness and silently scolded herself for it. Wasn't this supposed to be a solemn moment?

"Ms. Graham, congratulations." The unfamiliar words rang in her ears like an explosion.

Elena immediately froze in place. She was already halfway out of her seat, preparing to shake Simon's hand!

Everybody was stunned, casting unbelievable glances toward Angela sitting beside Erica.

What had she done to deserve such honor?

Angela herself was equally surprised. She had assumed the top scorer would be Elena.

She had even been preparing to seek advice on where she had fallen short so she could improve in the future moments ago.

“Ms. Graham?” Simon smiled warmly. Angela quickly got to her feet and followed him to the stage.
