Chapter 268

Chapter 268 

Once inside the elevator, Matthew swiped his card again and hit the button for the third floor. “It’s a pity today’s the weekend. If it were Monday, you could have witnessed a physics. experiment in action.” 

As he spoke, the elevator dinged at their floor. 

Matthew stepped out first, pointing out various areas designated for different experiments and which places were off–limits, treating Mirabella and his cousin as if they were already part of the physics department’s future. 

Matthew led them down the corridor, and then they stopped at the third classroom. At the door, Matthew swiped his card again, and the glass doors swung open automatically. 

“This is where we have our lab classes.” Matthew said, standing at the doorway and gesturing. at the equipment inside. He didn’t invite them in for a tour. 

.After about ten minutes of peeking into the lab areas, the trio headed downstairs. 

While they walked, Matthew continued his pitch, encouraging Mirabella to choose their physics. department. Midway through, they saw a group of professors from various departments at Prestige College heading their way. 

Immediately, Matthew pulled the two to the side. His demeanor instantly became reverent. “Listen up,” he whispered with a hint of awe in his voice, “those are the big shots of Prestige. College, the top–tier professors. When they walk by, keep your heads down and stay quiet.” Even though there wasn’t an explicit rule against bringing high school students to the labs, it wasn’t exactly smiled upon by the faculty. 

Mirabella obediently positioned herself behind Matthew and bowed her head.  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As the Prestige College professors approached, a palpable aura of authority wafted over. Matthew’s palms were sweaty as he tensely greeted them, “Good day, Professors!” 

The head of the physics department glanced over at Matthew’s group. Since Mirabella and Vincent both had their heads down, their faces weren’t clear, and they were presumed to be students. The professor gave a casual wave of the hand and continued on to the research building. 

However, one of the professors trailing behind paused right in front of Matthew. Matthew’s body tensed, and he 

autiously looked up to see Professor Wade from the biology department staring intently at Mirabella, who was behind him. Instinctively, he wanted to step in front of her to shield her. Professor Wade’s halt caused the other professors to stop and turn their heads in curiosity. 

With sweat beading on his forehead, Matthew was frozen in place, stammering. “Professor Wade… this is my cousin and his friend. They’re here for a competition, and I… I just brought them to… to take a look…” Matthew was so nervous he barely knew what he was saying.

Vincent, seeing his cousin’s anxiety, realized the gravity of the professors‘ status and felt at pang of guilt. He shouldn’t have let Matthew bring them here. If Matthew got into trouble for this, it would be on him. 

While Vincent and Matthew were visibly tense, Mirabella seemed unfazed by the professors‘ presence. She had been keeping her head down all this time, but then she noticed the persistent gaze of Professor Wade. After a moment of contemplation, she slowly lifted her head to meet his eyes.
