“Still, though…”
The assistant blinked in confusion.
Sunlight watched Charlotte with a spark of interest in his eyes. He looked genuinely impressed. “It’s a pity. I wonder if Kingswood University is taking part in this year’s medical conference. That girl’s got potential. If she spent some time learning from me, she’d definitely have a future ahead of her.”
Wait, did that mean Sunlight wanted to take Black as a student?
Black had made a name for herself in the medical field with a few research papers, but she was still young and a little inexperienced. Next to Sunlight, the difference was massive.
If she could study under him, her life would change completely.
“Sunlight, since Black is in Solenia, why not try to meet her? If you ask her to be your student, I doubt she’d say no.”
Becoming Sunlight’s student was a chance most people couldn’t even dream of. Who would ever turn that down?
“Let’s get in touch with her after the auction.”
Sunlight took a sip of tea while flipping through the list of attendees for the conference. The longer he looked, the deeper the frown on his face.
He couldn’t help but mutter, “The quality of medical students coming out of The Cabinda University just keeps getting worse.”
Seriously, they’d sent over a bunch of hopeless cases.
Compared to them, Charlotte was practically made to be his student.
The auction finally ended.
Charlotte felt totally wiped out. She slumped back in her chair, watching as Adonis and the others sorted through the medicine, while Anthony rubbed her aching legs.
Her face scrunched up. She groaned, “My money doesn’t grow on trees, but it sure vanishes like it does. Gone in a flash.”
Those few medicines had cost them a fortune.
“Your money?”
Anthony let out a low laugh, pinching her cheek on purpose.
“Did I say something wrong?”
All three of them watched, each one giving them a look that said more than words ever could.
Charlotte had almost forgotten there were three single guys in the room.
She pressed her lips together, then looked away and focused on the medicine. In a quiet voice, she asked, “So? Are we missing anything?”
Jackson checked the list again, his brow suddenly creasing.
“Charlotte, I think the drug the lab needed isn’t here.”
Charlotte paused, realization hitting her. She’d been so caught up fighting with Franco, she’d forgotten what she’d promised Glenn.
All the medicine had already been auctioned off today…
“See if you can find out who bought it,” Charlotte said.
“I think it was Franco.”
