"Give it back!" Freya instinctively stood up, aiming to snatch the essay from Preston's grasp, but he had swiveled
around, wine glass in hand, sinking into the couch to peruse her work. With her leg making it challenging to
move swiftly, Freya had to approach Preston to retrieve her paper.
Eventually, Freya plopped down on the sofa, disregarding Preston's actions. But Preston seemed genuinely
engrossed in Freya's essay, his face occasionally breaking into a smile. Seeing Preston's amusement, Freya
couldn't shake off the feeling that he was mocking her limited understanding.
"| just threw it together. No need to make a big deal out of it," Freya remarked.
"Who taught you this? Your professor?" Preston looked at Freya with evident curiosity.
"No, it's all my ramblings, just scribbles!" Freya responded, feeling a tad embarrassed under Preston's gaze. She
couldn't sit still anymore. She rose to stand before him, determined to take back the paper from his hands.
Preston allowed Freya to take the essay, commenting, "It's quite good. If you submit this for your final project, |
bet you'll graduate with flying colors."
"Oh? You've studied at Summit University?"
"Nope."
"Then how do you know I'd graduate?"
Freya knew Preston hadn't pursued higher education. She folded the essay and shoved it into her pocket, saying,
"Summit University is all the offspring of tycoons, moguls, and politicians. Their insights are leagues beyond
mine. My humble contributions are hardly worth showcasing."

"Shouldn't I? I'm only stating the facts."
Preston wanted to tell her she had
no idea how brilliant she was. But seeing Freya's lack of confidence, Preston smiled. "After reading your essay,
which is rich in detailed arguments and packed with
technical terms, it's clear you have a solid grasp of economics. It
presents a fresh academic
perspective, so | think it would work
well as your thesis."
"Really?" Freya looked at Preston skeptically. "You're trying to flatter me, aren't you? After all, you've never even
been to college." She immediately regretted her words. People of influence typically didn't appreciate reminders
of their shortcomings.
Preston, however, seemed unfazed, replying, "True, | didn't go to college. But those who did are now working for
