Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 9 9: Hindering her image

Tiffany stood there for fifteen minutes, waiting for Gabriel or Eveline to leave. Finally, after fifteen minutes, Prof. Beckham's office door opened, and Gabriel left.

Tiffany was about to walk towards Gabriel, but she stopped to look at the person behind him. The joy in her eyes disappeared.

Her brows furrowed in confusion as she watched Gabriel turn to face Eveline.

Quickly hiding back, Tiffany tried to eavesdrop on them. But no matter what, she was unable to hear a word.

Meanwhile, there was an awkward silence between Eveline and Gabriel.

While Eveline was cursing her fate, which slapped right into her face, Gabriel was somewhat happy with Prof. Beckham's suggestion.

"When would you like to start the lessons? I am free this afternoon. If that is okay, let us go to the library and start studying," Gabriel said in a tone that was more gentle than ever.

Gabriel's indulgence momentarily surprised Eveline, but she was unable to express her disapproval. Regardless of how charming he spoke to her, she would constantly question his motivations.

Eveline sneered mentally, recalling how Gabriel agreed with Prof. Beckham when he would've refused to guide her. He had left the other day when she refused to ask for his assistance, but now he was obligingly complying with the professor's request to tutor her by the time he returned.

Just as she turned to face him, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a figure lurking behind the pillar.

It didn't take long for Eveline to realize who it was and she instantly changed her idea and put on a smile.
