The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1352: Chapter 1352: Jade Chooses Its Wearer, Perfect for Elders

Amadeus Yancey didn’t expect that she’d be willing to go, somewhat surprised, but not too surprised.

After all, he understands Nathalie Quinlan, Nathalie Quinlan has always been the type with a tough mouth but a soft heart, especially towards those she’s let into her heart, even more so.

His eyes held a delicate light, scattering warmth everywhere, his voice low and slow, ”Call me at noon, I’ll come and pick you up.”

Nathalie Quinlan picked up her milk cup, slowly lowered her head, took a sip, then put the cup back, her voice returning to its usual casual carelessness, ”No need, I’ll take a cab myself.”

After saying this, she added, ”I have to go somewhere else.”

Candice Yancey’s birthday, she couldn’t possibly not give a birthday gift. Speaking of birthday gifts, she also had to find Valencia Jett.

Valencia Jett had a whole set of jade jewelry, jade chooses people, perfect for gifting to elders.

Nathalie Quinlan arrived at the school around ten o’clock.

In the principal’s office, Leo Dunn couldn’t contain his anxiety. He had looked out the door three times but hadn’t seen anyone coming.

Feeling restless, he paced around the office.

On his third circle, he stopped, looked worriedly at Jackson Wafford, ”Principal, do you think Nathalie Quinlan won’t show up?”

”I don’t know.” Jackson Wafford also didn’t know if Nathalie Quinlan would come, some headache pressing on his temples as he again said, ”I asked her yesterday, she said she was almost done, but I don’t know if she finished it.”

The IT Association’s latest deadline was today at noon. If they didn’t hand in the USB flash drive by noon, Nathalie Quinlan would be disqualified from the competition.

Jackson Wafford was just as anxious.

This issue couldn’t be solved with just his anxiety; Nathalie Quinlan had to give them the USB flash drive before the deadline.

But... easier said than done!

His anxiety was useless!

Jackson Wafford even prepared mentally for them being disqualified from the competition, ”Let’s wait a bit longer, isn’t there still two hours? Wait it out.”

Leo Dunn took a deep breath and began pacing restlessly again.

He also knew it wasn’t Nathalie Quinlan’s fault this time.

The blame was on him for not keeping a close eye on the USB flash drive, which got stolen.

Nathalie Quinlan was just cleaning up his mess.

But it was the first time the country had entered the finals of a world-class software competition; he couldn’t bear to miss this chance to demonstrate the nation’s technological capabilities!

Leo Dunn was furiously regretting his carelessness for the first time, unable to even guard a USB flash drive, let alone having it stolen by a student.

But his regret was useless too; he knew he could only wait for Nathalie Quinlan to come to school.

Among them, Shawn Norton was the only one remaining calm, sipping tea, noticing the tense faces of Jackson Wafford and Leo Dunn, their expressions severe as if the sky were falling. He put down his tea cup to comfort them, ”You don’t need to be so tense, relax, Nathalie Quinlan will come.”

Leo Dunn was nervous enough that his heart was about to leap from his throat, hearing Shawn Norton, he couldn’t help but ask, ”Mr. Norton, how do you know?”

Shawn Norton found it amusing, set down his tea cup on the table, saying, ”Why wouldn’t I know, I sent her a message, and she replied.”

”What did she say?”

Leo Dunn, still anxious, immediately asked, ”Did she say whether she finished the software?”

Shawn Norton amusingly glanced at him, ”I don’t know, I didn’t ask her that. I only asked if she was coming to school today, she said she’ll come later.”

Leo Dunn’s heart fluctuated wildly.

Shawn Norton continued to reassure him, ”You don’t need to be so nervous. Since she said she’ll come, it definitely means she’s finished.”
