Chapter 311 - Inter level competition
Chapter 311 - Inter level competition
"Easy Jean. Today’s exam is not yet added. By tomorrow we will know who the real topper is..." Seline who just entered their room after knowing this from Meghan said softly .
"Still... there is no guarantee, right" Jean sulked.
Generous side of her heart is happy that Jake is the first topper. He deserve it, moreover he will also be invited to join the research development of the Valdez’s.....his life would be settled.
But the selfish part of her is sad that she couldn’t maintain her ’topper’ name in her last year of main course.
"Jean... don’t be stubborn. Sometimes you have to accept defeat" Seline spoke seriously and looked at Scott who assured her that he would take care of Jean.
After Seline went out of the room. Scott gently cupped her cheeks and looked into her eyes. Though he didn’t say it out, his eyes spoke everything.....he is feeling sorry for his possessiveness. At least she thought.
"I shouldn’t have spoke like that. I am sorry...I got carried away by anger" Jean whispered.
Scott smiled but said nothing. In these situations kiss would be more effective than words. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply and passionately .
Jean melted in his arms and have long forgotten about her second rank.
In morning....
Jean got ready in her pink shirt and white pencil skirt. Upon it she wore a white blazer and tied her hair into high ponytail.
All set for her thesis presentation, she left early in the morning even before Scott could wake up. Actually, she wanted to wait so she could get his sweet and heart warming kiss to cheer her up but, Enrick messaged her that their thesis got selected to second phase of competition.
So she had to rush for registration of their names. Sooner the better, because of the inter level competition between many top tiered medical universities... it became nip and tuck competition between each and every one of them.
From their university seven teams have been selected while the other thirteen teams from various medical schools across the globe. Now they understood why their professors often pressured them to strive for higher quality in their thesis papers.
As this is confident competition, students who got selected to second phase got notified just after the announcement of this summit. In the erratic shock, their minds couldn’t comprehend what is happening and they couldn’t help but drag themselves to the notified place.
Meanwhile students bustled up to see the extraordinary pairs who got selected for this interschool summit. Mostly everyone have their eyes glued on Enrick who is waiting for his partner.
They are too excited to see who that lucky person is...who excelled his strict criteria’s to become his research partner. After a short while, Jean rushed towards him with her laptop in her arms.
"Sorry...my place is far from here. Am I late?" Jean asked as she fixed her blazer and shirt properly. As others are dumbfounded to see Jean, ’their dream woman’ pairing up with ’prince charming’ of the college.
"Technically you are not. Because I messaged you even before we are notified about our selection" he smirked teasingly.
"Over confident aren’t you?" Jean smirked back.
"Not more than you. Second rank isn’t it" he mocked at her.
Jean’s face darkened as she glared at him. He quickly realized what he said and bit his tongue. "Forget what I said...Jean. I am sorry Okay, I actually didn’t meant it in that way" he pinched his nose.
She neglected him and walked ahead even without taking a single glance at him. She didn’t mind whether he is following her or not. She is so pissed..
Enrick sighed, no one had ever done something like this to him. It was the first time he is given a cold shoulder...but he didn’t mind, she is the woman he loved and he will take it whole heartedly whatever gives for him.
Both of them went into the Heritage Block which is specially designated only for Valdez family and the top most doctors. Soon they are beckoned to meet the chairman who is Jean’s grandfather.
Jeff, Maria and Madam Valdez are also present as they occupied seats at either sides of Elder Valdez. Jeff winked at his friends as Maria secretly beamed with pride. Like mother, Like daughter.....their intern had said that Jean and Enrick are having eighty percent of chances to win.
Meanwhile Madam Valdez fixed her gaze on Jean. She couldn’t help but remember what Jeff had said to her....
It reverberated in her ears over and over. ’darling, you know what....Jean and I have very similar tastes and we resemble a lot in our way of thinking...as if we share a empathy link with each other.’
When he said it to her she had suddenly remembered Sophia and Maria....they use to have this twins link just like how Jeff have described back then.....she started suspecting more and more that Jeff could also be Sophia’s child.
She knew Maria too well. Her younger daughter is not a type of person who would do something her father forbidden them from doing so. Unlike her twin, Sophia was rebellious and self dependent...she use to go back to her so called laboratory and stay there for months and months.
It might not be a laboratory as she described back then, there is a possibility that Sophia was staying with her boyfriend....it explains how Jean and Jeff are born.
After listening to Elder Valdez attentively the seven teams went back to pack their luggage for whole one day. They are informed to meet at west entrance of the campus as soon as they finish getting packed up.
As Jean went to the destined place, she saw Scott, Seline and Raymond waiting for her at the entrance. Scott is leaning on to his Bentley in his white shirt and black Jeans while Raymond and Seline stood beside their Audi. It is such a amazing view that all of her companions are looking at the trio.
How could they not identify them? ....
Jean rushed towards them and Scott instantly wound his arm around her shoulders. Raymond took her other hand into his and rubbed it. They are too cold and she is little nervous.
Two hunks caring for her... this sight made them feel very envious.
"I have to go. But I will be fine. Take care of grandmother" Jean pursed her lips as she remembered about the retarding health of Lillian.
"We will Jean. Don’t worry and do your best" Raymond and Seline smiled comfortingly, as both of them hugged her.
"All the best baby, we will be there to support you. Enjoy" Scott cupped her cheeks and looked at her intently. He kissed her forehead and reluctantly let her go.
Who would have thought that this summit would give a way for Jean to save her grandmother..
