?Chapter 1094:
He had assembled a band this time, and their performance would leave everyone breathless.
Elena’sughter rippled through the room. “Rx. When I give my word, I keep it.”
Eight o’clock painted the university campus in twilight shadows as Elena strolled through the pathways, fresh flowers cradled in her arms. Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders in gentle waves, and her natural radiance needed no enhancement from cosmetics. A charcoal coat draped over simple denim and a cream knit sweaterpleted her effortless ensemble.
Elena possessed that rare gift of stunning beauty without effort. The more understated her choices, the more maic her presence became. Even dressed so casually, shemanded attention from every corner of the campus. From her first step onto the grounds, eyes gravitated toward her—some stolen nces, others bold stares.
Elena moved through the attention with practiced grace, her expression serene and unbothered. She paused beside a passing student. “Could you point me toward the g venue?”
The boy’s cheeks zed crimson instantly, his gaze dropping to his shoes. “Over… over there,” he managed, his finger trembling as he pointed.
“Thank you,” Elena replied with a gentle nod.
As she continued walking, the cluster of boys remained frozen, watching her figure disappear into the distance. “She’s absolutely gorgeous!”
“Think she’s one of the new faculty members?”
“I’m pretty sure I just experienced love at first sight!”
Darkness deepened around the campus as Elena wandered through unfamiliar pathways before finally discovering the building where Javier’s performance awaited.
Just as she approached the entrance, a figure materialized in her path. A boy in a dark hoodie lounged against the brick wall, his arm stretched across her route like a casual barrier. He lifted his gaze to meet hers, intensity burning in his stare. “Hey there, beautiful. Tell me you’re single?”
Elena’sposure never wavered. “I’m not.”
The boy’s confidence flickered momentarily before rebuilding itself. “Come on, you’re pulling my leg. If you had someone, why would you be wandering around here solo?” He dragged his fingers through his hair with practiced charm and then produced a single red rose as if conjuring magic. “I’ve never believed in instant attraction until right now. Let me prove I’m worth your time.”

This deration rang with genuine conviction. Armando Benson had always scoffed at love-struck fools who imed hearts could be captured in a single moment. Yet, as Elena walked past, his entire world shifted on its axis.
Elena’s eyebrow arched slightly as amusement flickered through her thoughts. These young romantics never failed to entertain her. She maintained her steady tone. “I already have someone.”
Armando’s certainty crumbled as doubt crept in. Did she really have a boyfriend? Had he finally found the woman of his dreams, only to discover she belonged to another? No way! His fairy tale couldn’t end before the first chapter. True love demanded courage and persistence.
With theatrical ir, Armando dropped to one knee on the concrete. “Whoever he is, I’ll be better! Just give me one shot to show you what real devotion looks like!”
They stood at the g’s main entrance, where students streamed past in clusters. The moment Armando’s knee hit the ground, the surrounding crowd exploded into cheers and excited shrieks.
Meanwhile, across town in the Spencer Group’s towering offices, Wesley felt an unexpected chill and sneezed.
