Chapter 179
Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)
Chapter 179 Itâs Good to Be Promoted She heard a voice from outside the toilet cubicle. It was a foreigner, âThat woman is so amazing. She turns out to be number one...â
âThe judges were kind to her just now because they liked her. They gave her such a high score. If I havenât read her paper, I would really suspect that she bribed them.â
âIs her paper really that good?â
âHer paper is awesome and has a profound proposition.â
Listening to these chattering voices, Gwendolyn became even more confused. She tore up the transcript in her hand and threw it into the trash can.
She remembered all the applause and praise when Ainsley won first place, as well as Ericâs eyes full of admiration.
Eric won second place. She knew that he had a strong drive for excellence. This time Ainsley won first place, which must have made him very interested.
After calming down, she returned to the auditorium.
Ainsley was surrounded by many people, and all of them wanted to see her transcript.
Gwendolyn noticed that outside the crowd, Eric stood in the corner and stared at Ainsley. closely with a strong interest in his eyes.
She suddenly became nervous and hurried towards Ainsley, âAinsley, letâs go.â
Others couldnât understand what she said, but Ainsley spoke fluent English, âMy friend and I left first.â
Just as they were about to leave, someone behind stopped them.
âIs that Ainsley? Please come with me.â The man looked at Eric again, âEric, you come too.â
Ainsley looked at Gwendolyn, who looked a little embarrassed, âYou go. Iâll wait for you.
here.â
âOkay. If itâs too late, you can go back first. Ainsley followed the man.
There was a conference room on the other side of the auditorium. When Ainsley walked in, she saw that Mollie was also there and that she was looking at her with relief.
She sat down with Eric. The judges were clearly interested in their papers.
âAinsley, they are very interested in the calculation program you wrote, and they want to ask you a few questions,â Mollie said with a smile.
Ainsley nodded and began to listen carefully to the judgesâ questions.
This discussion went on for two full hours. In the first hour, she was the one to be asked, and it was Eric in the second hour.
After walking out of the conference room, Ainsley stretched.
Eric took the initiative to speak, âYour paper seems very interesting.â
âYours too,â Ainsley said. She almost guessed what Eric wrote after listening to the discussion.
âI have never met an opponent, but I met today,â Eric said.
Ainsley shrugged noncommittally, âCheer on.â
âBut, can you tell me how you came up with the idea of using python?â
âOkay,â
The two talked all the way back to the auditorium.
And this scene was also seen by Gwendolyn, who stared at it with discomfort.
On one side was Ainsley, and on the other side was Eric.
Why did these two people come out together, talking and laughing?
Ainsley walked up to Gwendolyn, âEric, Iâm going back with my friend.â
âOkay, Ms. Easton, goodbye.â
Eric left without even looking at Gwendolyn.
All the way back, Gwendolyn was not very happy.
âGwen, whatâs wrong with you?â Ainsley asked worriedly.
Gwendolyn said sullenly, âAinsley, I rank the twentieth place.â
âItâs good to be promoted.â
âBut, I got the last place, and Eric got the second place.â After all, she was afraid that Eric wouldnât like her.
âLove is independent of scores, nor does it have anything to do with ability,â Ainsley said seriously.
âI know,â Gwendolyn said.
The defense time was scheduled to be seven days later for the time being. During these seven days, all of them could make good preparations for it.
Those eliminated would move out of the hotel within the next two days, and the staff of the Decker Contest had booked their air tickets.
Although they failed to advance to the next round, they were very proud to be able to participate in such a grand contest.
A few days before the defense, Gwendolyn suddenly asked Ainsley if she wanted to go.
to the club.
Ainsley agreed. When she arrived at the club, she found that not only the two of them, but all those who had advanced were there.
Some people looked at Ainsley meaningfully, while Eric sat in the corner and read a book silently.
Ainsley noticed that since they arrived, Gwendolynâs eyes had been fixed on Eric.
However, Gwendolyn was not the only one who liked Eric. In just half an hour, three girls had gone to drink with Eric.
She also noticed that every time Eric talked to other people, Gwendolynâs eyes flashed coldly.
Just as Gwendolyn was envious, she saw Eric standing up and walking towards her from a distance. Her breath stopped for a moment, and she couldnât believe it.
When Eric stood still in front of her, she even thought about what to say, but she didnât.
expect Eric to say to Ainsley who was beside her, âMs. Easton, can you come here for a while?â

ï¤Chapter 178 Loveâs Change of Heart ï¤Chapter 872 Ainsley subconsciously looked at Gwendolyn, âWhatâs the matter?â
âCan you come with me? Itâs about the paper.â Eric explained.
Gwendolyn forced a smile, âAinsley, hurry up!â
As Ainsley stood up and followed Eric to the side, Gwendolyn soon pulled her face.
She even heard the discussion behind her and lowered her eyes sullenly.
âDoesnât Gwendolyn like Eric? Why does Eric like Ainsley?â
âI think so. You didnât see that Eric was reading a book just now, and he put down the book in his hand immediately after Ainsley came over.â
âI didnât realize it, but your conjecture makes sense.â
âGwendolyn only got the last place, and Ainsley got the first place. If I were to choose, I would also choose Ainsley!â
The more Gwendolyn repelled these voices, the more they lingered in her mind.
She covered her ears in pain and ran into the bathroom. She couldnât put her expressions under restraint. After lapping her face with cold water, she regained some sanity.
Did Eric really like Ainsley?
But she clearly saw Ericâs gaze, and she couldnât deceive herself.
In fact, what those people said was right. She was just the bottom of all contestants present, while Ainsley ranked first among them. She knew who to choose without.
thinking about it.
This kind of *****was very common in psychology. She could even analyze her thought. Although she knew that this was wrong when it happened to others, she couldnât drive it out of her mind.
After she came out of the bathroom, her complexion improved a lot. But, Eric and Ainsley hadnât come back yet. They sat on the other side, discussing the paper on the table.
The more she looked at them, the more curious she was. What were they talking about?
When they finally came back, Gwendolynâs expression was already terrible.
