Phoebe King’s "Report" was called out loudly, interrupting Stephen Sutton’s lecture.
Stephen Sutton frowned and responded with a "Hmm," turning to continue from where he left off, writing on the board as he spoke.
Without a textbook, Phoebe King naturally couldn’t focus on these things.
Moreover, growing up abroad, her spoken English was quite fluent, but she found these complicated grammar rules dull and hard to understand.
Her frequent little actions included whispering to Audrey Sutton, secretly checking her phone, or eating candy from her bag, yet Stephen Sutton paid no attention.
Finally, the bell rang signaling the end of class. Before classmates could rise from their seats, Stephen Sutton tapped Audrey Sutton’s desk with a long ruler and said, "Co to my office."
Audrey Sutton was taken aback, watched Stephen Sutton walk out of the classroom, exchanged glances with Phoebe King, then hesitantly stood up and followed Stephen Sutton to his office.
Seeing there were no other teachers inside, Audrey Sutton relaxed a bit and asked, "What’s up, big brother?"
"Address as Teacher Sutton in school," Stephen Sutton corrected as he settled into his office chair.
Noticing Stephen Sutton was stricter than usual, Audrey Sutton imdiately beca more reserved, standing obediently in front of his desk, tentatively asking, "Teacher Sutton, why did you call here?"
"Have I not told you to avoid associating with Phoebe King? Why are you still hanging around with her all the ti?"
"Actually, Sister Phoebe is nice. You shouldn’t be so prejudiced against her."
Stephen Sutton: "She doesn’t need to attend school or take exams; she can play around as much as she wants. You’re not the sa as her. Spending too much ti with such people will affect your studies."
Audrey Sutton couldn’t help but vouch for Phoebe: "She’s not as bad as you think, and I work hard in my studies, I won’t be led astray."
Stephen Sutton shot her a disappointed look: "I see that spending too much ti with her is making you increasingly disobedient!"
Audrey Sutton pouted: "Big brother, Sister Phoebe is genuinely nice, and she really likes you. You haven’t tried to understand her before dismissing her completely."
Stephen Sutton clearly felt Audrey was beyond help, even brainwashing him instead, and furrowed his brow, telling Audrey Sutton: "Go back to class."
Seeing she was being dismissed, Audrey Sutton pursed her lips and left his office without a word.
Phoebe King also left the school, while Audrey Sutton headed to the dormitory with her textbooks.
Looking down at her phone, she sent Shane a ssage asking if he had arrived.
"Beep——"
Just as her ssage was sent, a car horn sounded in front of her.
Looking up, a black Bentley had pulled up beside her.
The car window rolled down slowly, revealing Nolan Hawke in the driver’s seat.
"Mr. Hawke?" Audrey Sutton greeted with a smile, peering inside the car to see only him, "You ca to find Bear Barrett?"
Nolan Hawke chuckled: "Just delivering so docunts, I’m about to head back."
"It’s almost lunchti, why not have lunch together before you leave?"
Nolan Hawke explained with a smile, "I have a lunch eting today, but could you help keep Barry company for ? By the way, has the date for the art photos been set? I’ve arranged for several outfits to be custom-made; you can bring Third Young Master to my shop for a fitting if you have ti."
"Oh, he went out of town and will be back on Wednesday. He’ll be free from Thursday to the weekend. Mr. Hawke, let know which day suits you, and we can arrange it."
Nolan Hawke nodded, then took out his phone, displaying his WhatsApp QR code through the window, and said to Audrey Sutton: "Add on WhatsApp, so we can coordinate then."
"Oh! Sure." Audrey Sutton promptly retrieved her phone from her bag and added him as a friend, "Then I’ll count on you, Mr. Hawke. Once my husband is back, I’ll take him to your shop for the fitting."
"Okay, just contact via WhatsApp if you need anything. I gotta go."
"Alright, bye-bye." Audrey Sutton stood by the roadside, waving to Nolan Hawke, wholeheartedly feeling that Barry Barrett’s boyfriend was genuinely nice.
Not to ntion being good to Barry, he was also quite enthusiastic, down-to-earth, and responsible in his work.
Flora had also seen Nolan when he ca to the school for Barry and said he seed like a reliable person.
Just as Audrey Sutton returned to the dormitory, Shane replied, saying he had just landed and was preparing to go to the hotel.
Audrey Sutton brought up the art photo session, and Shane told her to make the arrangents herself.
Back in the dormitory, Audrey Sutton reviewed her class schedule, ssaged Nolan Hawke for further discussion, and finally settled on Friday for the shoot.
Barry Barrett and Audrey Sutton had no classes in the afternoon; Barry Barrett intended to go to Nolan Hawke’s photography base to pick up so photos, mainly to spend ti with her boyfriend.
Audrey Sutton happened to want to see the outfits, so she tagged along with Barry Barrett to Nolan Hawke’s company.
Audrey wasn’t too picky about her own clothes, mainly focusing on Shane’s.
n’s costus weren’t as elaborate as won’s, and Audrey herself couldn’t picture which outfits suited Shane, so she wanted to see them in advance.
Nolan Hawke was busy and couldn’t personally co out to greet them.
Barry Barrett was obviously familiar with the place and already had the deanor of a young boss lady.
She led Audrey Sutton to the dressing room and slipped away to the post-production office to handle her matters as the staff arrived.
The dressing room was far more luxurious than Audrey Sutton expected; an entire floor was dedicated to displaying various styles, each in its own space, akin to a mall visit.
After understanding Audrey’s intentions, the staff guided her towards the traditional section.
Passing the bridal gown area, Audrey suddenly wished to take wedding photos after all.
Her wedding with Shane had been quite rushed; she hadn’t personally chosen the wedding attire, and the ceremony was simple, only fulfilling formalities.
Reflecting upon it now, she felt there were many regrets.
But calling for wedding photos now seed hasty; better to wait until Shane fully falls for her.
"Audrey?"
While Audrey Sutton was lost in thought examining the bridal display window, she heard a familiar voice from the other side.
She turned her head towards the voice, spotting Clarissa Morgan stepping over in high heels: "Why are you here, dear sister?"
Clarissa Morgan glanced around: "Did you co alone?"
Audrey Sutton smiled: "Yes, Sister Morgan, you’re here for..."
Clarissa Morgan gestured toward her assistant team with a smile: "Here for a poster shoot; there’s a performance next month."
"Then I shouldn’t disturb you, Sister Morgan." Audrey Sutton was entirely uninterested in dealing with Clarissa Morgan, though she hadn’t expected Clarissa Morgan and Nolan Hawke’s collaboration to be closer than anticipated.
Nolan Hawke was well-known, attracting many celebrities, so Clarissa Morgan being there wasn’t particularly surprising.
