Love Began with the First Meeting

"No problem, please wait a minute. I will get the report right away," the headmaster answered. He then quickly went to his desk and grabbed a file. Giving it to George, he said, "Your father hasn't checked the report for a while since our school is on track. But we still keep the record for the development of the school. As you can see, our college is one of the best among all the others in the country." Tired of listening to his creamy words, George asked flatly, "Do we still need to recruit transfer students based on their background and skills?"

The headmaster was astute enough to know what George was up to, so he instantly answered, "We don't recruit many transfer students anymore. But as for Charlie and Evelyn... they are quite different from the others. They-"

"I don't care who they really are!" George interrupted again. He threw the report back at the headmaster and continued, "They have been messing around in our college, severely influencing our reputation. It's going to affect our recruitment for the latter half of the year. We will most probably lose our opportunity to promote the exchange program with Harvard if this continues."

The headmaster was in a huge dilemma. George Meng's family was the biggest shareholders of the school and George, who was the heir to the family, had the right to expel anyone from the school. But...

"George, I... I am afraid that... that it wouldn't be appropriate to expel Charlie and Evelyn from the college," the headmaster said in a low voice. He knew their background. Putting aside their background, Brian Long's influence in A City was incomparable to anyone else's. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he ruled the city.

Besides, Charlie Long had chosen to hide his identity on purpose when he had started college. He would definitely not be willing to expose his family name now.

"What? Is it a problem for you?" Allen sneered. He could clearly see sweat beads forming on the headmaster's forehead. "Even though Charlie is a straight A student and does bring lots of glory to our school, the negative influence he creates in the school is damaging, isn't it?" he asked.

The headmaster cursed Allen inwardly. He actually knew a little bit about what was going on in the school right now from the hot posts in the school forum. Evelyn was already a big problem for him, and now Allen was asking to expel Charlie as well, which undoubtedly would result in a huge disaster. 'What makes him think that he has the right to come here and demand things from me? He is just a man who sponges off women. Besides, I would kick him out of the school myself if it were not for his family's influence, 'the headmaster thought, glaring at Allen.

"It looks like it was too much to ask of our headmaster," George said, sighing. "Just forget it." He stood up and stared at the headmaster coldly.

The headmaster said helplessly, "I will hand in my resignation if that is what you need."

George raised his eyebrow in surprise. In his impression, the headmaster was not someone who would sacrifice himself for others. But now, he was willing to resign his post for Charlie. Why would he do that?

"Let me ask this once again, my dear headmaster," George said because he thought that the headmaster might have misunderstood him. "I only want Charlie to leave. Evelyn is no good for the school, but we still need her here. So what do you think?" The headmaster's shoulders drooped. "George, I cannot expel either of them. I'm sorry that I cannot tell you the reason behind it."

George was not a commoner in the college; his words carried weight. But even still, the headmaster wouldn't budge. Looking at the defeated expression of the headmaster, he caught Allen's eye and replied coldly, "Well, that is not something for me to worry about." They left the office together. The moment they stepped out, George said to Allen, "It looks like Charlie is not just a guy with a pretty face."

"Who the hell is he?" Allen asked, annoyed that they hadn't succeeded in kicking Charlie out of the college. But from the headmaster's reaction, it did seem like Charlie was more important than Evelyn.

"Did you check his background?" George asked.

Allen shook his head. He had always been reluctant about finding things about his competitors, especially if they seemed superior to him. As far as Allen was concerned, Charlie was one of those competitors.

George took out his phone and dialed a number. When the call was connected, he said, "This is George. I need to check someone's background. His name is Charlie, a sophomore from the Computer Department in A University. Get me all his details today." After the call, they headed back to the dormitory. There is an old saying 'Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road.'

On their way back, they saw Charlie sitting with two beautiful girls on either side of him. Both the girls were chatting happily with Charlie. There didn't seem to be any jealousy between them, whatsoever. They actually looked like they were best friends.

"Look at that. It is all about appearance nowadays. You are a man of great personal charm... So, why do people think he is much better than you?" George asked and then looked at Allen. Then both of them walked straight to Charlie.

Elsa was the first person to see them approaching. She felt a pang in her heart when she saw Allen, even though she was now in a relationship with Charlie.

Charlie had seen them too. Noticing that Elsa still had feelings for Allen, he gritted his teeth. It was annoying that Allen was still in his way. His face turned ash white as he gave Allen a death stare.
