    Chapter 436 Are You Serious


    Hayley''s POV:


    Finished


    Noticing my confused expression, Professor Cain began to exin. "Here''s the situation. My team and I have been working on a significant research project for the past couple of years, and I was wondering if you''d be interested in joining us."


    Before I could respond, the administrator standing nearby gasped in disbelief. "Professor Cain, are you serious?


    "From what I understand, your research topics are national priorities. Even teaching assistants don''t typically get a chance to participate in them. Hayley''s just a freshman-how could she possibly handle something like this?"


    But Professor Cain simply smiled and replied, "That''s exactly why I''m confident in her potential. She''s young, and that''s what we need-fresh energy and new ideas. We can''t keep relying on us older folks. Don''t you agree, Hayley?"


    I snapped out of my shock.


    I knew how important these research projects were and how rare an opportunity this was.


    But my life was already packed to the brim-between my responsibilities as the Alpha of the Shadow Pack, a race car driver, a multinational business owner, and a leader of an underground organization. I didn''t have the time tomit to something so demanding.


    Research required total focus and dedication, body and soul. And frankly, I didn''t have the energy to


    spare.


    After a moment of thought, I politely turned him down. "I''m sorry, Professor Cain, but I don''t think I can join your team."


    The office fell silent, and I could see even Professor Cain''s smile slowly fade.


    He persisted, "If you have any concerns, feel free to share them. Or, if you need more time to think, I understand. Take a couple of days to consider, and let me know your decision."


    I opened my mouth to respond, but he quickly interrupted. “Let''s leave it for today.


    No rush. Take your time. When you''re ready,e and find me."


    I understood what he meant. After a brief hesitation, I nodded.


    "Alright, I''ll give it serious thought."


    Seeing my response, Professor Cain''s expression brightened considerably.


    "That''s great! Now go ahead and get to work. You''ve got a speech to prepare for


    the opening ceremony tomorrow, so get back to it."


    I nodded, said my goodbyes, and left the office.


    Back in my dorm, I sat down and began working on my speech.


    Before long, my phone buzzed in my pocket.

    I nced at the time. I was almost done with my speech, so I decided to take a break and head out.


    At the east gate, I spotted Christine waving from outside a restaurant. "Hayley, over here!"


    I hurried over, and we walked inside and sat down.


    As we talked about thetest events in our departments a tall guy approached our table.


    He turned to Christine and asked, "Hey, can I get your Instagram handle?"


    Christine, looking uninterested, replied coolly, "Sorry, Im not really into social media."


    Undeterred, the guy asked, "How about your phone number?"


    "I don''t have a phone," she responded, still calm.


    But the guy wasn''t giving up, pressing further.


    I was just about to step in and help Christine get rid of him when a male voice


    suddenly interrupted. "Looking for my selected mate''s phone number? How about


    I give it to you instead?"
