Chapter 106 Had enough

Renee’s pretense of not knowing Marcelo had a different nature compared to when she was part of the crew.

They were not on speaking terms.

“Mr. King?” The Dean offered a strained smile. “That young lady is charming, but she’s still quite young. You…”

Marcelo’s look fell on the Dean. His calm and striking features somehow showed his annoyance.

“Am I too old for her?” He asked.

“Mr. King, it’s not that. Age gap doesn’t matter in this day and age. But your generous donation of a lab building to our school doesn’t mean we’ll just…” Mid–sentence, the Dean paused, realizing something. “Why do you seem so interested in her?Do you two…know each other?”

Marcelo just eyed the Dean and looked away.

As soon as Renee was out of Marcelo’s view, he turned away and mentioned, “About the library renovation, you can talk to my assistant.”

After the Dean left Marcelo, he was still off from the encounter.

“I was worried about offending Mr. King by not helping him meet that girl, but he still funded our library renovation.”

Was Marcelo’s main point really that he wasn’t too old for Renee?

The professor accompanying them pondered and then suggested, Perhaps Mr King was acknowledging your integrity?”

“Integrity?” The Dean shook his head with a smile and a sigh. “If that’s what he thinks, society has its priorities wrong.”

He was only doing his duty as a teacher. How could that be considered integrity?

Meanwhile, Marcelo’s car was parked a short distance away.

Luke waited patiently. Even after Marcelo settled into the car, he remained silent.

Luke felt the need to break the silence and said, “Mr. King, I believe that was Mrs. King we just saw.”

“I can see, you know.”
