Chapter 440
Reece needed to prove to himself that he was merely seeing things. He walked briskly toward the security guard. Eventually, he picked up his pace and ran after the latter.
However, he ran for a while and still couldn’t see anyone.
In the end, he went to the security office and asked for all the footage. He sat down and went through all. of it, but he didn’t see anyone looking remotely close to Jim.
“Does this mean I was actually seeing things?”
Reece went back to the lecture hall and discovered Bonnie wasn’t there.
“Back to your seats, guys. The class is going to begin now. Today, we’re looking at…”
Frankie raised his hand and said, “You forgot about taking attendance, Professor Reece.”
His classmates were very curious, too. Reece was known for being so strict that he’d never miss out on
taking attendance before he started every single lesson. So, why did he forget about it today?
Pursing his lips, Reece looked at Frankie angrily.
“Bonnie’s over there by the library, Professor Reece. Look!” Frankie pointed at a spot not far from the
window and shouted.
He didn’t like how Frankie was acting, but he was curious why Bonnie went to the library instead of
coming back to class
He was feeling a little puzzled and looked in the direction Frankie pointed. Then, he saw her chatting with
a security guard.
“Wait a minute. I recognize that guy! His stature is similar to the one who bumped into me in the hallway!
Could it be…?
Bonnie didn’t realize that people from her lecture hall were looking at her. She was talking to Jim, who had disguised himself as a security guard and snuck into the campus.
“Didn’t I tell you not to come here when I’m on campus?”
“Things are different now.”
“How so? Things have stayed the same.”
“I beg to differ, Bonnie. You used to be a student here. Now, however, you’re promoted to be its president. This is a highly prestigious position. What am I going to do if someone wants to harm you and I’m not around to protect you?” He asked stubbornly.
She rubbed the side of her head.
“This is Pyralis University. They have one of the best securities in the world. How am I supposed to be at risk at a place like this?”
“I’ll tell you what I’ve told you before I have a duty to perform. Your identity as the president of Pyralis University has attracted a lot of eyeballs, but the announcement from the research institute has made
things worse.
“Everyone suspects that the new university president is closely connected to someone in the research Institute. With that in mind, you’re in greater danger than you realized.” He analyzed the situation logically.
“1 kept my identity as the university president under wraps. Who’s going to suspect me?”
“It doesn’t matter what you say, I’m going to guard your life right here at the university.”
She was about to say something, but she ended up holding her forehead helplessly.
“Fine. You can stay on campus if that’s what you want to do, but I’ll have to figure out a way to keep your identity secret. Remember. Don’t let anyone know who you are. Otherwise, it’ll become a bigger mess.
“Don’t worry about it. This isn’t my first rodeo.”
“Alright. It’s settled, then. I have to go back to class now. I’ll send a text to Russell’s assistant… I guess he’s my assistant now. Either way, I’ll ask him to figure out a cover for you.
“Alright.”
Bonnie returned to the lecture hall, nodded at Reece, and went inside.
“Are you going to waltz in like nothing happened, Bonnie? Do you know you’re late for more than ten minutes?” Frankie barked.
