Megan was so indescribably happy and thought to herself that Lady Luck was really smiling upon their family, seeing as how Emily was becoming more and more sought after. The principal of Woodsbury University literally came to their door to visit her!
“Then can we go in and talk about it in detail?” Mr. Goldstein smiled politely.
“Of course, of course! Come on in!” Megan was smiling from ear to ear. Now that Emily was affirmed by Mr. Hilbert and she even got the fourth-best results in this college entrance exam, those other wives from the upper society that she mingled with would definitely butter her up. When she thought of this, she felt an endless sense of satisfaction and vanity inside her.
Just when they had settled down in the living room, Mr. Goldstein got to the point at once. “Miss Jackson, do you have any intention to study at Woodsbury University?” He really just couldn’t wait. After all, with a perfect score, surely there would be a bunch of other principals from different universities about to visit Emily. Luckily, he got a head start and was now able to sit down and have a good conversation with her first. After all, which principal wouldn’t want their university to have such a genius as their student?
Megan was about to say something when Emily’s phone rang. It was a call from Madelaine. I think Madelaine is here to ask me about my college entrance exam results! She’s here just in time. I might just as well use her to spread the news about me being scouted by Mr. Goldstein of Woodsbury University on a special home visit!
“Please excuse me. I’m going to take a call first,” Emily smiled and said to Mr. Goldstein. After hearing her, he kept a pleasant expression on without being annoyed or angry. Then, he simply said, “Sure, go ahead.”
With that, Emily smiled, then pressed the answer button. Since the principal of Woodsbury University had personally come to invite her on an exclusive visit, of course she had to put up some attitude and not let him get his way so quickly.
“Hello? Madelaine, what’s up?” Emily’s voice was even and very patient. Not long after, Madelaine’s voice came over the phone. As Emily expected, Madelaine had really called to ask about the exam results. “Emily, how many points did you get in your college entrance exams?”
Emily pursed her lips and said with deliberate humility, “I’ll send you the results, and you can see for yourself!”
When Madelaine saw the results sent by Emily, she was instantly shocked and cheered, “Emily, you are so fantastic! If only I had gotten these many points too! With a score of over 700, you can certainly go to Woodsbury University now!” The envious voice of Madelaine continued to ring out from the other end.
Emily chuckled, then in a casual tone, she told her friend, “Now the principal of Woodsbury University, Mr. Goldstein, is at my home!” After she spoke, no sound came from the other end of the phone for a long time. Some time later, Madelaine exclaimed, “The principal of Woodsbury University, Mr. Goldstein, actually went to your house to get you to enroll at his university?”
What kind of news is this? This is simply something unheard of! Before, when someone else got over 740 points, the principal of Woodsbury University didn’t even personally go to their house to invite them to study at Woodsbury! How did Emily get such an exclusive treatment? Maybe he also saw the musical talent in Emily. After all, literature and art complement each other!
“Don’t tell everyone else first!” Emily smugly reminded her friend. In fact, how she wished Madelaine would tell the world, especially the group of students in Class A.
“This kind of good news should be shared with everyone!” Madelaine said very seriously.
“Okay then.” Emily pretended to be very reluctant, then added, “I’m gonna hang up now. I have to talk to Mr. Goldstein!”
After Emily hung up the phone, she reverted back to the topic she had just talked about. Curling her lips, she deliberately asked, ” Mr. Goldstein, what did you say just now? I forgot.”
Mr. Goldstein still had a smiling face on as he repeated, “I asked if you have any intention to study at Woodsbury University, Miss Jackson?”
At that, Emily purposely hesitated and looked like she had a difficult time deciding. Seeing this, Mr. Goldstein was puzzled and frowned. “Do you have any conditions, Miss Jackson? Or are you not satisfied with our university in some way?”
“That’s not true!” Megan explained at the side. “Your university is the best one in all of Sandfort City. My daughter has been dying to get in before!”
“Then…” Mr. Goldstein looked more and more baffled.
