Chapter 73 The Interview
→ +5 Pearls
The two–month–long intensive preparation proved effective. Milly found the language exam much easier than the mock exam she took when she first arrived here.
She finished the two–and–a–half–hour test in less than an hour and a half, then spent another half an hour checking her answers. Confident that everything was correct, she handed in her paper half an hour early.
The proctor glanced at his watch in surprise. It wasn’t uncommon for students to submit their papers early during regular exams, but it was rare during the college entrance exams, which could determine their future. Most students would double–check their answers repeatedly before feeling assured enough to submit their papers.
Milly was handing in her paper exactly half an hour early, which was quite surprising.
Out of his responsibility as an educator, he spoke up, “Young lady, there’s still half an hour left until the end of the exam. Are you sure you want to submit your paper now? Wouldn’t you like to check it one more time?
Milly shook her head. Thank you, Sir, but I’m sure.”
Seeing her insistence, the proctor didn’t press further. “Alright then, please submit your draft paper, test paper, and answer sheet. Then gather your belongings and you may leave.”
“Thank you, Sir.
Milly let out a sigh of relief as she walked out of the exam hall.
The language exam was finally over. As long as she did well in languages, she could easily score full marks. in subjects like Mathematics. She felt completely at ease now.
The campus was very quiet, and she didn’t see any other students after she left the exam hall.
It seemed like she was indeed the first to finish, which explained the proctor’s surprised expression earlier.
However, as she approached the school gate, she regretted finishing early. She should have known better.
It was midday, the sun was scorching, and despite the heat, the school gate was crowded with anxious parents waiting for their children.
At the gate, she saw two eye–catching figures, making her stop in her tracks,
Ivan was wearing a red lace dress while holding an umbrella to shade Jordan from the sun. Beside them, Danny was doing the same for George except that he was in a neon green dress.
The whole scene was so bizarre that she couldn’t think of any other word to describe it.
Ivan, with his sharp eyes, was the first to spot Milly approaching the gate. He exclaimed with delight, “Mr. Burnett, look, it’s Ms. Burnett! She’s out!”
His voice was loud.
Not only did Jordan hear him, but all the parents at the gate and even the security guards on duty turned to look in the direction hé was pointing.

At that moment, all Milly could think about was to escape by climbing over the wall.
Before she could move towards the wall, a group of reporters with microphones surrounded her. “Excuse me, you’re the first to leave the exam room. Can we interview you?”
Milly hadn’t expected this treatment to finish early and was taken aback by it. However, almost immediately, her muscle memory from her past life dealing with reporters kicked in. She adjusted her expression, nodded, and smiled brightly.
“Of course.”
She was naturally beautiful and composed, facing the cameras without a hint of nervousness. Her aura made the reporters momentarily dazed.
Seeing the reporter holding the microphone and not speaking, Milly blinked and asked, “Don’t you guys want to ask something?”
“Ahem, sorry about that. Yes, let me ask… The young reporter’s ears turned red.
He felt sorry for staring at a high school girl who was taking her college entrance exams.
“Do you think the language test was difficult?”
“Not at all.” Milly answered honestly.
“If you had to rate the difficulty on a scale from 1 to 100, where would you place it?”
“If 100 is the most difficult, I’d say it was about a 10.”
The reporters thought that Milly was daring to say that.
Despite being young, the reporter had interviewed many college entrance exam candidates, but none had ever described the exam as this casy.
“Do you have any words for the people who set the exam questions?”
For the examiners?
Milly pondered for a moment and said sincerely, ‘Actually, I’d like to say, can we stop asking for the author’s feelings or themes in the literature section? Sometimes, I think the authors just randomly write what they want.”
Wow! She’s bold!
After the interview, Ivan promptly moved the umbrella over Milly’s head and handed her a bottle of juice.
“You must be thirsty, Ms. Burnett. Have some water.”
Milly took the drink. “Thank you.”
At that moment, George came over smiling, and asked, “How did it go?”
Before Milly could answer, a tall figure blocked George’s view entirely.
Tordan said coldly. “Milly let’s get in the car The air conditioner is on it’s cool inside”

Jordan had been waiting outside for me?
She felt warm and fuzzy inside.
As Milly got in the car, she glanced at the Bentley nearby and saw George also getting back into his car.
Strange, wasn’t he going to wait for William?
For the remaining exams, Milly was the first to leave the exam room each time. The reporters at the gate. were no longer surprised See her.
One young reporter even joked quietly, “If we knew she’d finish first in every subject, we should’ve pre- recorded all the interviews and saved ourselves the wait.”
The other reporters smiled at her, their eyes were filled with respect for a top student. But there was one figure that made Milly uncomfortable.
Although she hid it well, Milly still sensed her hostility.
