She nodded, looking obedient. But soon, she thought of something, and her eyes lit up.

"Since I have no class today, I'd better go home."

With that, Angelo turned to leave. She didn't want to face the cold man.

"Wait. You can go to the principal's office with me."

Drake's voice sounded again.

Angelo had to stop, turned, and smiled. Then she followed behind Drake.

Looking at Drake's back, Angelo cautiously asked, "Drake, why are we going there?"

She didn't think she did anything wrong that the principal asked Drake for a talk.

"To take your diploma," Drake answered at once.

Angelo was surprised. It was just her sophomore year.

Even if she had to graduate early, it should be at least in her junior year. Thinking about that, she warned Drake, "This is just my sophomore year, Drake."

"Yeah," replied Drake lightly.

Angelo thought she didn't make it clear. So she took a deep breath and plucked up to say, "Even if I want to graduate early, I have to wait until the junior year."

"Yeah."

Another cold word from Drake.

But then he thought of something and turned around. Angelo didn't expect her to turn and bumped into him again. Then she backed away.

Drake, however, felt a sense of loss somehow. He suppressed the feeling and touched Angelo's forehead.

When Angelo realized the cold touch, she froze there and then blushed. Drake then withdrew his hand.

He continued to walk to the principal's office. Angelo hurried to follow up. But in her mind, she had been thinking about Drake's move just now.

She patted her face hard and then came to herself. But still, she couldn't understand why Drake touched her forehead.

"You talk too much," said Drake unexpectedly.

Angelo was more confused but could only stop asking.

Soon, they got to the office. Ben, the principal, was surprised when he saw Drake.

He jumped to his feet and asked Drake ingratiatingly, "What are you doing here, Mr. Drake?"

Drake was the biggest shareholder of the university, so everyone was respectful to him, including Ben.

Drake didn't answer him and sat down.

Seeing that, Angelo was shocked. She had never seen Ben standing there to talk to someone.

"You must come for Angelo, do you?"

When Ben saw Angelo, who was behind Drake, he asked. Then he made a cup of coffee and served it to Drake.

"Yeah."

Drake took over the coffee and glanced over Angelo. Hurriedly, Ben took a chair and put it behind Angelo.

"Sit down, please," said Ben.

Angelo was even more shocked by Ben's inoffensive words. In the memory of this body, Ben didn't like her and treated her unfriendly. But now, he set a chair for her.

Thinking of that, Angelo felt much better. Just as she was about to sit down, "Stand there," said Drake.

Angelo's face dropped momentarily, and she gave a wry smile. Then she refused the principal, "No. I'm a student. I'd better stand. You take a seat, please."

Hearing that, Drake smiled. He picked up the cup and sipped the coffee.

Then Ben sat down on the chair. He looked at Drake cautiously and then looked at Angelo. Tentatively, he asked, "Does Angelo have a problem with the class?"

Most parents who came for him had complaints about the class their kids in. So, Ben guessed it might be the reason Drake came here.

Compared with talking to Drake, Ben would rather listen to Angelo. After all, Drake was too oppressive.

"No, I have no problems with my class."

Angelo waved her hands at once. Ben was more confused.

"I come to pick up her graduation certificate," said Drake calmly.

Hearing that, Ben thought for a while, and then a troubled look came over his face.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Drake. Angelo is in his sophomore year now. Even if he wants to get the graduation certificate, he had to wait until senior year."

Angelo thumbed up for Ben when she heard that. Not everyone dared to refuse Drake. Was that the reason he could be the principal?

Drake wasn't angry with Ben. He put down the cup and asked calmly, "Does Angelo get enough credits?"

When Ben searched Angelo's credits, he showed an embarrassed look. He had thought Angelo didn't get enough credits to graduate in advance, but Angelo got first place in the speech contest and earned some credits, so she was qualified to graduate in advance.

But if Angelo became the first student to graduate in her sophomore year, there must be more students required to graduate in advance. There were many students with strong backgrounds in this university.

Finally, Ben gritted and said with an apology, "Yeah. Angelo's credits are qualified. But our school ruled the time of graduation. I can't change it. I'm sorry."

Drake frowned when he heard that. He knocked on the table with his finger.

"Angelo had amnesia. The doctor said he should take a good rest at home."

As soon as Drake finished his words, Ben understood what he meant. He thought about it, and then his eyes lit up.

"Angelo can take a rest at home for the rest of the sophomore year. We'll keep her credits and give her graduation certification in her senior year. What is your opinion with this, Mr. Drake?"

Drake nodded when he heard that. He just wanted Angelo to take a good rest at home.

"Then let's make it a deal. Do you have anything else, Mr. Drake?"

Ben wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and looked at Drake respectfully.

"No. Thanks."

After that, Drake stood up, Ben got up to see him off, and Angelo just followed behind.

When they got out of the office, Drake turned to look at Angelo, who was puzzled. But then she realized something: Drake hinted to her to say goodbye to Ben. She was surprised that Drake respected teachers so much.

She turned to look at Ben, respectfully saying, "Goodbye, Mr. Ben."

After that, Drake moved forward. Angelo hurried to catch up, leaving Ben to stay there in shock.

"What am I doing at home, Drake?"
