Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 654

"Very well, let's proceed with that," Helen agreed promptly.

After a brief pause, she turned to Gerard and asked, "Mr. Ziegler, if I remember correctly, isn't there an International Mathematical Olympiad in a month?"

"That's correct," Gerard confirmed with a nod. "Are you planning to participate? However, you may not have the necessary experience. Typically, entry into international competitions requires a gold medal in the National Mathematics Competition, I'm afraid—"

"No 'I'm afraids,'" Helen interjected confidently, completing Gerard's sentence. "With competitions taking place worldwide, I will secure my qualification before the International Mathematical Olympiad begins."

"Very well then, I'll keep my word," Owen declared firmly, adjusting his glasses with confidence.

Helen glanced briefly at him, hesitant to prolong their interaction. She swiftly found a reason to leave, stating, "If there's nothing else, I should probably head out. I've got plans for tonight."

"Feel free." Gerard waved dismissively, reluctant to press further. After all, Helen was the sole hope of the Mathematics Faculty that year.

Helen nodded with a smile before quietly exiting the room, her expression betraying no emotion.

As Helen approached the doorway, she caught sight of Michelle listening from the corner. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

She immediately realized it must have been Chandler's doing. Reflecting on this, she felt a wave of surprise wash over her.

Meanwhile, Michelle didn't bother to explain. With her hands in her pockets, she turned and walked away.

As Helen followed behind, a sudden realization dawned on her. Moving forward, she would have a multitude of tasks to manage, and she couldn't always depend on Chandler for transportation.

Pausing for a moment, Helen called out to her. "Michelle."

Michelle stopped in her tracks, her brow slightly furrowed, lending her a masculine look. Standing casually, she idly shook her right leg. "What's up?"

Perplexed, Jamie looked toward Helen and Michelle, voicing his concern, "Didn't the dealership manager emphasize that every customer is important? Wouldn't it be unfair to chase them away?"

Christopher replied sharply, "What's the issue? Quit making excuses. Either escort them out or you'll foot their bill!"

With that, he handed Jamie a stack of car brochures and stormed away.

Despite feeling disheartened, Jamie swiftly gathered himself and approached Helen and Michelle to offer his assistance.

"Hello! What type of car are you interested in seeing today? Or would you like to enjoy some food? We offer complimentary afternoon tea and desserts here, and they're quite delicious," Jamie greeted them warmly, his demeanor patient and inviting.

Earlier, Helen had observed that the other salespeople were deliberately avoiding them. Despite being available and not engaged with other customers, none of them seemed willing to approach and offer assistance.
