The cold treatment continued until Monday morning.

 

 

 

Today was the official start of classes.

 

 

 

Also, Nathan had to leave early and report to the company. He was in a bad mood as Kim Eunji did not even spare him a glance this morning. He even didn't get his goodnight kiss and his good morning kiss this morning.

 

 

 

He knew he was at fault and he should make it up to it.

 

 

 

Kim Eunji on the other hand got ready for school. Wearing her pair of jumpsuit and sweater, white converse shoes, her stylish eye glasses and her beanie, she started walking inside the Business Department building to look for her assigned room.

 

 

 

The class had not started yet when she walked in. She heaved a huge sigh of relief when she found out that she was classmates with the girls except for Yun Mei.

 

 

 

The students were shocked when they saw her entering their room. They thought that Kim Eunji was a college freshman but who would have thought that she wasn't?

 

 

 

Guo Xiaolan and the girls who had known her special identity was not shocked by this and beckoned Kim Eunji to sit on the seat they specially prepared for her.

 

 

 

Their morning subject started the moment their professor came inside.

 

 

 

To formally start, he talked about the course syllabus for the entire semester. When he was done, he gave the rest of his time for the students to formally introduce themselves.

 

 

 

Everyone took turns and introduced themselves in formality as they were all familiar with each other.

 

 

 

Except for Kim Eunji.

 

 

 

"Hello everyone. I am Kim Eunji. Taking up the same major just like you do." She made a pause as she scanned their faces, trying to see their initial reaction towards her. She then heaved a sigh as she continued, "Even if I have that background, please do treat me just like an ordinary student. Scold, reprimand or discipline me just like how you discipline them," she especially addressed this to their professor who gave a satisfactory nod at her.

 

 

 

"Who my husband is has nothing to do with my status as a student here. My student and personal life has nothing to do with each other." Kim Eunji explained her situation to them. She didn't want them to treat her differently just because she had a different status than them because she's Nathan's wife.

 

 

 

Satisfied with what she said, she made her way back to her seat which was by the window.

 

 

 

 

 

Her classmates who thought that she's someone who were going to be mean and would definitely use her husband's influence to suppress them, somehow changed their perception about her.

 

 

 

 

 

Like...seriously, she's not even like that to begin with.

 

 

 

Her first morning as an official student went just like that.

 

 

 

Lunch time came and she only had a thirty-minute vacant period before the next class started. Then she would be having an hour break afterwards. Then succeeding classes 'till seven in the evening.

 

 

 

She went to the cafeteria with the girls in a hurry to grab something to eat since they might get an indigestion if they would eat in a hurry. She could have her proper lunch during her one hour break later if she could.

 

 

 

The students were still looking at her. Some were filled with admiration while some with envy. Who wouldn't? She's the most popular student in the campus.

 

 

 

Everyone wanted to get close to her but her aloof aura would cut out their intentions to make the first move every time they saw her.

 

 

 

That's why they were jealous with Guo Xiaolan, Yun Mei, Wen Zhen, Marie and Fu Rong for they got closer with her before they even could get the chance.

 

 

 

Their class ended and they were about to go to the cafeteria together but Kim Eunji decided to go to the Dean's Office instead.

 

 

 

She knocked twice and waited for the latter's response.

 

 

 

"Come in." The dean gave her the approval to enter.

 

 

 

"Oh Miss-" but before she could even finish her greetings, Kim Eunji interrupted her.

 

 

 

"You may address me as student Kim or Miss Kim Ma'am, since I'm inside the campus and it's class hours. You can address me as what you were told to after class hours ended. And I apologize if my other identity got everyone confused now. Rest assured, I came here to study so do treat me as a student, not as your boss' wife."

 

 

 

"About that, Mr. Bai might get angry with us if he knew that were treating you just like how we treated everyone." She nervously reasoned.

 

 

 

"Geez! This man." Kim Eunji inwardly nagged him.

 

 

 

She knew that Nathan's sudden appearance would be somehow a bother with her. Now she earned everyone's attention.

 

 

 

She knew that Nathan just wanted her life to be easy while studying. In which she was grateful but deep down, she didn't like this special treatment at all.

 

 

 

"Don't worry Ma'am Dean, I'll talk to him about this. So please don't get nervous or else I'll feel bad."

 

 

 

"As you wish Miss Kim." She finally said which earned a subtle smile from Kim Eunji.

 

 

 

"So, what brought you here in my office?" The dean decided to not beat around the bush and asked her directly after the matter of how she's going to address her was settled.

 

 

 

"I just want to have a small request in your end." Kim Eunji said as she clasped her hands together.

 

 

 

"What is it?"

 

 

 

"Is it possible to have a meeting with all the professors handling this degree program?" She said.

 

 

 

"On what purpose Miss Kim?"

 

 

 

"Well, I know I had enrolled on this special program where in I could just take on the major subjects and neglecting the minors and other pre-requisites, then I could graduate with diploma." Kim Eunji started.

 

 

 

"However, I thought it would be unfair to the students who had studied since day one if I would just do that."

 

 

 

"What do you propose?" she curiously asked Kim Eunji as she knew Kim Eunji would say something interesting.

 

 

 

"Well, that's what I'm going to discuss with them tonight, if possible. Don't worry, I'll pay them separately for overtime as I know they're supposed to be resting in their quarters at that time."

 

 

 

"Does Mr. School Director know about this?"

 

 

 

"Not yet. I'm planning to inform him, too after I got your approval."

 

 

 

"Alright. I'll see what I can do. If Mr. School Director approves, then I'll arrange this meeting."

 

 

 

"Thank you Ma'am Dean." Kim Eunji sincerely thanked her.

 

 

 

"No need to thank me Miss Kim. What I cared about is the comfort of the students under the department." She said.

 

 

 

"How's your class by the way? I hope you could adapt to it. After all, it's quite different from what you were used to."

 

 

 

"Thank you for asking. Classes are fine. Well, of course the kids were noisy as they happily chatted with their friends while waiting for the professor to come but aside from that, there's nothing to complain. It's a pretty normal classroom set-up I guess." Kim Eunji simply answered her.

 

 

 

"That's good to hear." Ma'am Dean said in relief.

 

 

 

After their talk, Kim Eunji bid goodbye and went to the school director's office to ask permission.

 

 

 

Mr. School Director agreed to her request and had made a bulletin for the respective teachers to gather at the auditorium later at eight for an important meeting.

 

 

 

He also asked her about her first morning as a student which she gladly replied with almost the same context just like what she said with the dean.

 

 

 

She was also asked if she still didn't want to receive her lessons inside the room especially designed for her.

 

 

 

Before the class officially started, the school director had told her thru an electronic mail that she would be having a separate classroom since her curriculum was different than the rest.

 

 

 

If this had happened in the past, before he met Nathan and had before she had learned to open up herself to people, she would gladly accept to this set up.

 

 

 

However, this time was different. Meeting Nathan made her realize how lonely her life was before him.

 

 

 

Meeting him made her realize how insensitive and passive she was towards the people around her which made her think that she had almost taken them for granted.

 

 

 

She didn't know why she didn't want to open up to others, except for these few people.

 

 

 

But now, she felt like isolating herself was indeed unnecessary. And she was glad Nathan had helped her to see that before it was too late.

 

 

 

So she decided to be in a normal classroom just like most of the students. She just hoped that her plan would work out.

 

 

 

Time run fast and it was now the time for the meeting.

 

 

 

She walked inside the auditorium with her head held high as she looked at the thirty professors who were looking at her with questioning gazes.

 

 

 

"For what is this meeting all about Missus Bai?" A male professor immediately asked her with a tone of displeasure evident in his voice. No student had dared to ask them around ever since they started teaching in Imperial University though there were some instances that they would allow it...but that's another story to tell.

 

 

 

"Good evening Professors. I gathered you here tonight because I wanted to discuss some matters regarding my learning and studying set up here. I know my sudden request made all of you to be displeased but rest assured, you would be paid double for this day just to compensate the inconvenience that I had caused in your end."

 

 

 

Kim Eunji said which made everyone to be silent.

 

 

 

"What? Are you going to bribe us too to let you pass on the subject? You're not even my student...are you?" Someone expressed his dissatisfaction towards the matter.

 

 

 

They were greatly disappointed and was already judging Kim Eunji in their hearts.

 

 

 

They even doubted if Kim Eunji was indeed able to enroll in Imperial University with this special curriculum with test results and intelligence as a student and not because of Nathan's influence.

 

 

 

"I'm not here for that, Mr. Wong. I'm here to talk about my learning set up in this school for the whole year." Kim Eunji sighed as she pause to look at them.

 

 

 

"I was never expecting that my other identity would be disclosed too soon to everyone. I know deep inside, all of you were doubting me just like how Ma'am Dean and Mr. School Director did during my application here.

 

 

 

Rest assured, they also criticized and questioned my ability. I'm not someone who would want to prove myself just to be accepted. However, I also hated it when someone questioned me as a person. To clear all doubts, I'm asking all of you to prepare a ten set of questions which you think covers the essential topics in your respective subjects. The number of items doesn't matter. Be it 500 or a thousand."

 

 

 

"What?!"

 

 

 

"Hahaahhahhaha! You're so funny Missus Bai." Everyone laughed at her. She was clearly asking for something that's clearly impossible. That's why they were looking at her with mockery now.

 

 

 

Some conservative senior professors were also looking at her in disdain just because she was sleeping with Nathan. They thought that the two were scandalous couple who had broken many of the school rules which were already there for many years.

 

 

 

They thought Kim Eunji and Nathan were bad influence for the students studying inside Imperial University. However, they never dared to speak this up loudly as they're afraid of the consequences they would be facing. After all, no one would want to lose their teaching job here in Imperial University by being terminated.

 

 

 

It was said that Imperial University was not only a dream university for aspiring college students but also to their teacher counterparts.

 

 

 

 

 

"Ahem!** I think that all of you had forgotten that I am here, too." Mr. School Director spoke which made everyone to stop from laughing.

 

 

 

Since it was confidential to reveal a student's entrance test result, aside from the dean and the school director and the one in the registrar who facilitated the exam, no one else had seen her test results.

 

 

 

Also, deep in their hearts, they doubted the credibility of the result after they found out her relationship with Nathan.

 

 

 

After all, in every organization, there would always be some crocodiles lurking in the shadows, waiting for opportunities such as this to strike.

 

 

 

Some students were accepted here in the past just because of money.

 

 

 

"Well, Miss Kim here is asking you as a student of the school. Is this how you would treat her?"

 

 

 

"And how do you expect us to treat her? Just because she's the boss's wife we would treat her well. At the end of the day, she's only a student here. She's like walking in this silk thread coming from the tip of my pen. Also, I heard Mr. Bai's reputation towards women. Believe me or not, Master Bai was only keeping her because she's good in bed."

 

 

 

Everyone gasp because of his bold remarks.

 

 

 

They subconsciously gulped when they looked at Mr. School Director's face which had turned red because of anger.

 

 

 

"Professor Xi! What do you think you're doing?!" He angrily asked. Especially when he realized that the man was not sober. He had clearly drank a glass or two before coming over. He was greatly disappointed with him. He was informed that the latter was worried about her daughter because it was currently receiving her punishment together with Jin Li Rong in a deserted island.

 

 

 

"What do you think I am doing? Did this b*tch of a woman seduced you, too Director?" Everyone was stupefied when they heard him spat out those words.

 

 

 

However, before they could even react, they heard steady footsteps coming from the staircase behind them. They subconsciously turned around and was terrified for their lives when they saw who it was.

 

 

 

Kim Eunji looked at the new arrival and sighed in her heart. She knew this won't end up well.
