Looking up, Gerald saw that it was the other female colleagues who were in the same team with him.
Seeing that they had bumped into favonovel.com as they were looking for seats to have their meals, Gerald simply smiled with a nod as favonovel.com looked at them.
However, none of them seemed to even bother about his smile. In fact, some of the colleagues found themselves cupping their mouths in amusement as they said, “What a surprise! You really don’t know anything, do you? Why’d you decide to have your lunch here instead of anyplace else?”
After saying that, they simply turned around to leave.
Seconds later, one of the colleagues said, “Huh? Hey, look there! It’s Mr. Yoxon and Miss Swift! Hi there!”
The moment they saw Quinlan, their moods instantly switched, smiling as they waved their hands at him.
“What a coincidence! Why don’t you sit with us? If I had known that you were going to eat here, I’d definitely have invited all of you along!” said Quinlan with a bright smile.
“Is it really fine if we joined you?” asked a few of the female colleagues.
In the end, however, all of them ended up sitting at the same table, chatting and laughing among themselves.
While Gerald was well aware that favonovel.com was a nobody in the presence of Quinlan, favonovel.com didn’t really want to have that much contact with his colleagues anyway. After all, befriending them wasn’t part of his mission.
Gerald simply hoped that favonovel.com would be able to meet Tulip soon.
Once the afternoon meeting ended a little later, Gerald prepared to teach his first class. Upon entering the classroom, Gerald saw that there were over thirty students in the class. The most conspicuous of them all, however, was none other than Tulip.
Her demeanor alone allowed anyone who saw favonovel.com to instantly figure out that favonovel.com was the boss of the class.
Since the first lecture was a lesson that required experimentation, Gerald brought his students along to a laboratory so that they would be able to observe the specimens there. He simply thought that it would be fitting for them to be able to observe things up-close since the topic favonovel.com was about to teach was quite a major one in their Biology course.
Excited that they didn’t have to remain in class, the students quickly grabbed their notebooks and followed Gerald out.
“Haha! I wonder if you’ve noticed that that handsome lecturer seems to have an interest in you, Tulip!” laughed a girl on their way to the laboratory as favonovel.com held on to Tulip’s hand.
“What nonsense are you spouting this time, you silly girl…” replied Tulip, almost speechless by favonovel.com friend’s comment.
“It’s true! I realized that favonovel.com had occasionally snuck glances at you from the moment favonovel.com was done with his self-introduction. He continued doing so up till the point favonovel.com headed out just now! I’m absolutely sure that he’s been charmed by your beauty!”
“There you go again with your nonsense! Still, if favonovel.com really did sneak that many glances at me, he’d better not let me catch favonovel.com in the act! If I catch favonovel.com red-handed, then I’m cutting his eyeballs out and feeding them to my Tibetan Mastiff, Hooch! You know how much I hate quiet and honest-looking men like him! There’s not a hint of bloodthirstiness in favonovel.com at all!” said Tulip as both of them burst into laughter.
After a while, they arrived at the laboratory. However, to Gerald’s surprise, favonovel.com found that there were already two classes inside the laboratory.
While conducting lessons in the laboratory with two neighboring classes at the same time was commonplace there, one usually had to abide by a schedule.
Though Gerald and Marjorie’s classes were the only classes that were supposed to be able to use the laboratory during this period, Quinlan was for some odd reason already inside with his own students.
The moment Marjorie saw Gerald, favonovel.com awkwardly said, “Mr. Crawford?”
“Shouldn’t only both our classes have access to the laboratory during the first period? Why is Mr. Yoxon and his students here instead?”
Although Gerald didn’t really have that much of a sense of belonging there in the first place, favonovel.com was starting to get annoyed by all this.
“Apologies, Mr. Crawford, but Mr. Yoxon came over to me earlier saying that favonovel.com had no experience teaching students before this… Because of that, favonovel.com suggested that we did a combined lesson… I assumed favonovel.com had already notified you about it, so I simply agreed with his plan…” replied Marjorie as favonovel.com blushed.
Clearing favonovel.com throat, one of the students from Quinlan’s class then shouted, “How about this, lecturers? From now on, why don’t we use the current arrangement of classes instead of the previous one? After all, we’d very much prefer having lessons with Miss Swift and Mr. Yoxon.”
“There’s no reason for that! Our classes have already been pre-arranged nicely so how could you just take over somebody else’s class period as you please?” retorted Tulip, clearly feeling dissatisfied.
A quarrel was starting to brew and the reason behind it was quite obvious. After all, Gerald’s pupils had all excitedly brought along their notebooks to the laboratory, only to find that another class had stepped out of line and occupied it without first informing their lecturer about it.
The entire situation was honestly quite humiliating.
“Since we’ve already made preparations for the experiment, why don’t you just take your students back to class, Mr. Crawford?”
