Loving You Means Having You

Scarlett, a top-tier private tutor, is a beauty that turns heads wherever she goes. Not only is she drop-dead gorgeous, but she's also a double major Ph.D. graduate from a prestigious university. Despite her beauty, she's cold-hearted and only has two close friends she can truly rely on. One is a wealthy guy who had an early coming-out and harbors feelings for his senior. The other is a quirky girl who, despite having access to billions in assets, prefers to earn her own money through her startup, always pinching pennies. Scarlett's life was supposed to be this serene, but everything changed when she met Lucius, the top dog of the city. To the public, he's an intimidating figure, cold and unapproachable. But behind closed doors, he's a different person. [Excerpts] Watching her retreating figure, Elijah teased, "Even you get the cold shoulder sometimes. Who's that, her boyfriend?" Lucius countered, "Do you know what I admire most about her?" Elijah gave a superficial answer, "Her beauty." Lucius calmly stated, "Her intelligence." Without waiting for Elijah's response, Lucius walked away. Elijah, not being a fool, pondered the situation. Scarlett maintained a distance from both him and Lucius. Such a woman was indeed intriguing.

The Art of Persuation

Scarlett chatted with Ronnie for a bit, and after racking her brain, she finally came up with a phrase that perfectly summed up Ronnie's level in physics: "A kid who can't even recognize the table of contents."

She wanted to start from Chapter 1, but he wasn't having it. "I've had three tutors before you. They all started from the beginning."

Scarlett, always amiable, responded on the spot, "Alright, then try this problem."

She quickly jotted down a question for him. Ronnie glanced at it, and it seemed as if Scarlett had written it in Morse code. Eventually, he admitted, frustrated and a bit embarrassed, "I don't know."

Flipping through a few pages of the textbook, Scarlett pointed out, "It's the first exercise after your lesson."

Ronnie retorted, "I'm not the type to do exercises."

Scarlett countered, "If you can mentally calculate the answer, that's fine. But during exams, you can't skip the steps, or you won't get any points."
