Given Jean's daily part-time commitments and how busy she was, it was impossible for her to juggle several relationships at the same time.
I tried to warn Jean about Monica's true character, but she misunderstood my intentions.
She accused me of being a pervert for always being around her.
However, I had to say that each encounter was purely coincidental.
We never spoke again after that.
It wasn't until I started graduate school that I was taken aback to find out we'd not only be attending the same institution, but we'd also be studying in the same field, even sharing a tutor.
Despite our shared academic journey, she kept her distance from me.
After graduation, I joined the Norton Group to work for the Norton family, yet I kept tabs on her, hoping she would join me at the Norton Group to assist in my endeavors.
Our tutor was particularly supportive of her, introducing her to many influential figures in our field, and I suspected that the tutor had groomed her much like an extraordinary hopeful.
But Jean was worth it.
I'd never met a girl as tenacious and intelligent as she was, yet seemingly blind to deception.
I must have been quite smitten with her.
