Chapter 418: She Rejected Him!

“I’m Oliver,” he introduced, voice clipped. “Class captain for Medicine and Surgery. I was asked to bring you to the lecture hall. Please follow me.”

His words were polite, but the undertone was unmistakable, mild resentment laced with poorly hidden pride. He was the class captain, for crying out loud!
