Those students were all well-known and talented individuals at the university, each having shown remarkable achievements. Initially anxious that Hera might feel burdened or overwhelmed by the pressure of working alongside such outstanding students, Mr. Fletcher was pleasantly surprised. Hera was ecstatic to meet her senior peers, many of whom had already begun internships at majorpanies and were achieving impressive results. Several had even received job offers and opportunities to study abroad, enhancing their future prospects.
She mingled with her senior peers, studying alongside them while Mr. Fletcher observed their interactions and asionally interjected to guide their discussions. This served as a valuableworking opportunity for his students before entering the corporate world. Mr. Fletcher emphasized the importance of coboration and mutual support among his students, encouraging them to strive for collective sess rather thanpeting against each other which would lead to negative rivalry.
He could also see that Hera was well-liked, not just for her beauty, but for her respectful demeanor and ability to grasp the strengths of others’ arguments while gently correcting any misunderstandings. When both parties were mistaken, Mr. Fletcher intervened to steer them in the correct direction, fostering a productive learning environment.
"Professor! You surprised us by bringing in this adorable junior! She’s been a godsend. Now we’re not just a bunch of stinky academians—we can actually see and smell the flowers!" chuckled one of Mr. Fletcher’s senior students, promptingughter from the others in the room.
"Professor! Now I understand the true meaning of ’beauty and brains.’ I used to think God was fair—if someone’s good-looking, they might not be smart. But now I see my junior is both intelligent and beautiful, with a great personality to match! It’s like having a cute sibling—I’ve finally found the bliss of having a sibling, though sadly, my parents are too busy and too old to have another child," another student added, jokingly.
"We can treat little Hera as our little sister from now on," another added, and they all agreed. Little did they know, that treating Hera as their little sister would turn out to be one of the best decisions they made in their lives.
Hearing their exaggeratedpliments made Hera giggle like a five-year-old, prompting everyone tough along with her. With Hera joining their group, their academic progress improved significantly. Hera brought a fresh perspective that differed from theirs, which not only rifiedplicated theories but also opened new understandings and pathways for all of them.
Even Mr. Fletcher found himself enjoying the exchange, feeling like he was learning alongside his students and keeping his mind sharper than ever.
Others reluctantly left to attend their sses or prior engagements, but they all agreed to study together again soon. When everyone had left and Hera was alone with Mr. Fletcher, he continued to teach her one-on-one until her next ss began.
And coincidentally, her next ss was Business Fundamentals. Originally a finance student, Hera had made the decision to expand her knowledge and demonstrate her ability to lead the Avery Consortium without beingpared to the stand-in her grandfather had hired. She had opted to pursue a double major in Business Administration alongside her Finance Major.
Fortunately, Hera had alreadypleted all the non-major subjects for her Finance major during her first two years, leaving her with only a few major subjects remaining. The non-major subjects required for Business Administration were also manageable because some of them ovepped with her Finance major, making her academic load more streamlined.
After her sses, Hera had to excuse herself from mingling with her ssmates to attend acting, dancing, and singing sses arranged by Betty. These sessions were crucial for Hera to develop the skills necessary to meet the contract requirements for the roles she was pursuing.
