Chapter 66: She’s leaving?
Penny became Professor Singh’s apprentice in her first life. Therefore, she knew some sides of this professor, just like how Professor Singh knew some sides of her. He was akin to a father to her, after all, nurturing her and guiding her. Sometimes, he would give her some tough love.
In other words, Professor Singh often finds out things even before Penny confesses or even before she does it. It was the reason she intuitively panicked when Professor Singh gave her that look.
But then, Professor Singh smiled and asked gently. "Miss Penny, how are you?"
Hearing his smile and the change in his tone, Penny mentally patted her chest. She heaved a sigh of relief.
’Goodness. Right. In this lifetime, I’m still not his apprentice, so no tough love and scolding. There’s nothing to be scared of.’
"I’m okay, Professor. I’ve started school." Penny quickly recovered from her mini heart attack and smiled charmingly.
"I see. How is it so far?"
"Hmmm. Good!" Penny grinned brightly before she turned her head. Her smile briefly disappeared when she faced Slater. "Study."
"Yes, ma’am." Slater didn’t even refute and just hung his head low, answering the question he was answering before Professor Singh arrived.
Seeing this, Professor Singh chuckled. Atlas briefly mentioned Slater’s part of the bet, and seeing that Penny was with him, he quickly understood Penny was tutoring him. The professor was less worried that Slater would end up a slave with such a genius tutor.
If only Slater knew how lucky he was to be tutored by his sister.
"Miss Penny, did you answer the question I gave you the last time?" he asked quietly so as not to disturb the other brothers.
