Chapter 207

Jen was at a loss for words.

Roseanne was a genius!

Stoddard didn't expect dinner to serve up such a delightful surprise: "So you're the 'forever regretful' student Ms. Payne always talks about! Who would've thought... Who's your grad advisor this year?" Roseanne replied, "Ms. Payne."

Stoddard clapped his hands in excitement. "Well, isn't that going to make Ms. Payne's day?"

Liz, still standing, her face a mix of accusation and pride quickly turning into discomfort and embarrassment, didn't know whether to sit or stand.

Thank goodness for Sammy, who smoothly stepped in:

"Liz, why don't you take a seat? I'll fix you a plate. The salads are all here by me, you might find it hard to reach..."

"Thanks." Liz finally sat down.

Sammy then turned to Roseanne with an apologetic look. "Sorry about that, Roseanne. Liz is just... like that, always has to be right. But she means well, you'll get it once you've spent more time with her." Means well? Roseanne raised an eyebrow, hoping that was true.

Sammy added, "Let me apologize on her behalf, don't take it to heart."

"Who asked you to apologize for me?! Deciding things on your own!" Liz, fuming, kicked him under the table.

Sammy nearly yelped but managed to hold it in, his face turning beet red.
