Zelena and Candy walked in. âNolan, weâre here to get our new uniforms.
Nolan and Violeta turned to look, meeting Zelenaâs gaze.
Nolan furrowed his brow, glanced through the documents on his desk, found Zelenaâs size information, and said calmly, âYour size is in the second cabinet on the left, third shelf.
Zelena walked in, pretending open the cabinet to get her uniform. She exchanged a glance with Candy. who understood immediately.
As Zelena grabbed her uniform, a small pingâpong ball âaccidentally fell out of Candyâsâ pocket and bounced under the desk.
âOh no, my pingâpong ball!â
Candy quickly moved forward, bending down to retrieve .
Violeta stepped back to give her space.
After picking up the ball, Candy stood up and bumped into Violeta.
Nolan gently pulled Violeta back, allowing Candy to catch a glimpse of the content on their
computer
screen.
So, this is what they had been working on in the office all these daysâdesigning promotional graphics. âSorry for the interruption, Nolan,â Candy said, after seeing the screen.
With their uniforms in hand, Zelena and Candy left the office.
As soon as they were outside, Zelena eagerly asked Candy what she had seen.
âLena, theyâre designing promotional graphics for something related to chessâ¦..
âChess?â
Zelena suddenly realized the connectionâit was related to the Chess Association!
The Chess Associationâs visit to the school for a promotional lecture originally the responsibility of the student council.
Violeta must have her Chess Association membership to get close to Nolan. How shameless!
In the afternoon, the Chess Association finally confirmed the time for their promotional lecture.
The advisor came to the to make an announcement. There will be a Chess Association lecture in the auditorium the day after tomorrow. If anyone is interested in chess, I highly recommend attending. It be very beneficial.â

âThere will also be small gifts for those who attend.
Not many young people were interested in chess these
days.

Zelena herself hadnât been interested either until she realized that learning chess might help her make a better impression on Wade.
But now that the Association was coming to the school for a promotion, if she could help Nolan attract more attendees, he would surely look at her in a new light.
After the advisor left and the classmates were about to leave the classroom, Zelena stood up and said, âChess is an intellectually stimulating leisure game. I personally love chess and would like to invite everyone to attend the lecture. If you all come, Iâll treat everyone to a seafood feast this weekend!â
âWow! Thatâs great!â
âZelena is so generous!â
Candy chimed in, âYou probably donât know this, but the president of the Chess Association giving the lecture is acquainted with Lena. Theyâve even taken a photo together!â
âReally?â
Zelena blushed modestly, âOh, itâs not that impressive. We just met once and took a photo together.â
Candy said, âLena, youâre too modest. You donât just get to take a photo with someone after meeting them once. The president must really value you!â
Sitting in the back, Kaylee cringed at the boasting in the front.
âVio, youâre the real Chess Association member here, and youâre not bragging. Where does she get the nerve to show off like that? Itâs so annoying
Violeta replied, âItâs okay. What sheâs doing might actually help.
Young people today arenât very interested in chess.
Nolan and Violeta had been brainstorming ways attract attendees to the lecture, empty seats would make the event look bad.
They had even planned to buy small gifts out of their own pockets for those who came.
But if Zelena wanted to play the fool and help by offering treats, why not let her?
Violeta figured Zelena was trying to gain more favor with Nolan.
But Violeta just wanted to complete her assigned task for the Chess Association and move on.
âLetâs go, Kay. We have to head to club practice.â
âOkay.â
Two days later, the chess lecture was successfully held in the auditorium. The association president took the stage, facing a packed audienceâat least half of whom were performing arts students that Zelena
dragged .

Recently, rumors of Zelenaâs close relationship with the Chess Association president had been spreading. with people almost calling her a chess prodigy.
However, after the twoâhour lecture ended, the Chess Association president didnât mention Zelena at all. Instead, he acknowledged the only Chess Association member at Toland University, Violeta.
âThat concludes my lecture today. If anyone is interested in chess, feel free to reach out to our only member at Toland University, Violeta Blakeâ¦â
