Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1297

Although Shannon and Vincent's private outing didn't attract much media attention, it didn't stop Benjamin from contacting her. He wasn't suspecting anything between them per se, but…

"Now that the matters are resolved, as an officially engaged couple, can we go on a proper date before we leave Jamborough?"

They might have confirmed their relationship, but the two technically hadn't dated yet. He believed it was essential for them to go through a proper romantic period like many typical couples.

Shannon was initially surprised by his suggestion. Then she became shy, replying, "I agree with your idea, but… I've already accepted the invitation to be a guest lecturer at the Jamborough School tomorrow for a talk on talismans."

This could be considered a reciprocal gesture for the last time Valentino altered the competition results for Team Seastone. After all, it was she who had accepted the invitation as a guest lecturer, so before returning to Seastone, she had to make a visit to their campus.

Benjamin was quiet. Shannon couldn't tell what his expression meant. Usually, he never had any opinions regarding her work; the same applied here.

"Then…" They could do it once they were back in Seastone.

He was ready to propose that but found his hand tugged toward her. She looked at him earnestly, asking, "So, would you like to come with me tomorrow?"

It might not be a proper date, but she would be happy if he could come along.

When Benjamin heard it, his gaze froze for a moment. After a while, the corners of his lips subtly lifted. "Sure."

As such, their first date would be at the hall in Jamborough School of Mystic Arts.

As the first student to be recruited to the Special Security Headquarters in her freshman year, and who successfully brought back the Unmelting Bone with a binding contract, Shannon held quite a significant reputation on the campus.

Charlotte Ziegler was an ordinary freshman at the Jamborough School. When she heard that Shannon had been invited to give a lecture on Variations in Talismanic Techniques, she eagerly reached out to a few close classmates and brought them to the venue early.

"This will be the first time Shannon does a seminar in Jamborough. If the turnout is bad, she'll probably be sad. You guys must be there to support her, alright?"

"Alright. I'll keep raising my hands and asking questions to make sure it doesn't get awkward."
