Monica did not notice how much Adam's thoughts had changed.
She was still looking at him, waiting for some kind of answer. Adam knew that. He also knew he could not keep staring at her like this for too long.
So he forced his face back to normal.
"I see," he said.
Monica watched him for another second. She had seen the small change in his reaction when she said Adrian's name, but she did not know what it meant. Adam had only heard of her brother before. That would not be strange. Adrian Valcrest was not an unknown person.
After a moment, she continued.
"I came here through the normal way," Monica said. "I gave the entrance exam. My marks got me in. The paperwork also went through normally."
Adam listened quietly.
"I did not ask my father to call anyone," she said. "I did not ask my brother to put pressure on the college. I gave the exam like everyone else."
Her fingers moved over the glass.
