“Nicole, how’s your preparation going?”
Nicole looked at Ms. Emerson calmly.
“I’ve solved all of them.”
THERE
Nicole had never participated in a Math Olympiad back in San Joto, so she did not know if she was well-prepared.
However, the smile on Ms. Emerson’s face indicated that she was doing fine. Ms. Emerson handed Nicole three
more exercise books. They were all past-year Math Olympiad questions that could not be found on the market. The
third book, in particular, was Declan Hancock’s best work. In their school, only she and Mr. Louis — the two
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtteachers in charge of the Math Olympiad training – got their hands on two copies of the book.
She did not expect Nicole to complete all three sets of the questions without any guidance.
‘I underestimated Nicole,’ she thought. Ms. Emerson nodded satisfactorily and asked Gary to leave. She wanted to
speak to Nicole privately. Gary frowned. He had seen Nicole’s book, and it was completely blank. He could not
understand how Nicole dared to spout nonsense like how she had solved all of the math problems to Ms. Emerson.
The charming image that he had of her from yesterday’s race club meetup was gone; she was once again the
annoying liar! Gary did not say anything but snorted. He headed back to his seat without sparing Nicole a
glance.
When Vivian witnessed the scene unfold, she had a look of glee in her eyes. Her eyes unconsciously followed Gary
in hopes to have some form of interaction with him.
Unfortunately, Gary did not look her way. His eyes were filled with rage toward Nicole. He simply walked past her
without sparing her a glance.cz Vivian tightly gripped the hem of her dress under her desk.
She looked at Nicole who had gained Ms. Emerson’s favor. She was furious.
Ms. Emerson then told Nicole about the things she needed to watch out for during the Math Olympiad. After all,
Gary had been through the competition many times. On the other hand, Nicole seemed to lack the experience. She
naturally had to tell her the rules of the competition.
In the end, Ms. Emerson repeated the part where participants had to write their answers with a black pen.
Nicole looked at her with a serious expression and said softly, “Don’t worry, Ms. Emerson. I’ll ace it.”
She knew Ms. Emerson was doing this for her own good. Ms. Emerson was treating her as if she were a child; she
found it amusing and heartwarming at the same time.
Ms. Emerson also knew that she was going overboard. She looked embarrassed and stopped talking about the
competition. She then looked at Nicole with a smile and said, “By the way, the monthly test is in two days. All the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbest with your test!”
Nicole nodded.
She answered with a quiet yet oddly calming voice, “I will.”
Ms. Emerson looked at her and felt gratified. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly slapped her forehead as
if she had just remembered something. She turned to Nicole with a smile and said, “I’m so forgetful. Your
grandma’s here to see you, Nicole. I told your family to wait outside. I ended up forgetting after speaking to you.”
‘Grandma’s here?’ she thought.
Nicole’s cold eyes lit up a little. She quickly thanked Ms. Emerson and headed out of the classroom.
‘Now that I think about it, I haven’t seen grandma for almost a month!’ she thought. Nicole stepped out of the
classroom and saw two people standing by the window. One of them was an old woman; she had graying hair and
was donned in green-colored garments. That person was Mrs. Wallace Sr.!
