Chapter 39：Special Autograph

After ordering food and sitting back in the empty chair earlier, Carolina ate the mixed vegetables with the peanut sauce she ordered voraciously. It's been two weeks since she last ate the mixed vegetables with the peanut sauce according to her taste, she ordered the mixed vegetables with the peanut sauce online several times, but the food court lady's mixed vegetables with the peanut sauce was still the best, apart from the mixed vegetables with the peanut sauce made by her mother.

Carolina was just about to put a cracker that had been dipped in peanut sauce into her mouth, but suddenly several people started sitting beside her, Carolina glanced at them briefly before finally deciding not to care.

It is normal for someone to share a table in the food court, especially when the food court is busy due to lunchtime, but usually, those who don't get seats already know the person who got the seat first before deciding to join.

It's rare for those who don't get a seat to sit directly at the table of someone they don't know, unless that person is really sociable and isn't awkward to meet new people.

Even if it was just a glimpse, Carolina knew she didn't know them, but she didn't mind sharing a table with them at all, because there was a chance they knew her, she only knew her classmates, anyway, because she's the type of student who goes back if there is not have class.

"You're the intern at NamTech, aren't you?" suddenly the woman sitting beside her asked.

No… Don't say…

"Ah, yes," even though she had a bad feeling, Carolina still answered them.

"Did you really see Ethan?" asked one of them again.

See! The red apple again!

Carolina was silent and continued to eat her mixed vegetables with the peanut sauce, she even deliberately slowed down the chewing motion.

"Yes," Carolina replied after swallowing her food, but before the women had time to ask again, Carolina had put the food back in her mouth.

"We're asking for help, please," said another.

While chewing, Carolina looked back at the five people sitting at the table and the three people standing nearby. Carolina frowned slightly, their faces looking old and not as innocent as the faces of the previous five women, so Carolina concluded that they were already in their third or fourth year.

But engineering faculties usually only have a few women when they are in the final semester, for example, their class in the Informatics Engineering study program, there are only 5 women left, in other study programs the average number is the same, none up to 8 people.

But Carolina's gaze fell on the yellow rubber bands that 3 of them were wearing, it was the economics faculty bracelet!

Don't tell me they're students from the economics faculty!

Did they even look for her in the engineering faculty building and food court to ask about red apples?!

"Ask for what? Oh right, do economics faculty don't have a food court? You guys even bother to come to the food court in engineering faculty," asked Carolina. When she found out they weren't in the same faculty as her, she didn't bother to be "nice", right? After all, if they say she is a rude b*tch, the engineering faculty students will not believe it because they are from "outside" circles.

"What do you mean?" suddenly one of the women who stood up was offended by what Carolina had said.

Her friend, who was sitting opposite Carolina, who had been silent for a while, looked at the woman as if gesturing to be nice and not looking for a fuss, she then looked at Carolina and said,

"Umm… you'll write Ethan's name on the company approval sheet later, right? As a company leader?"

When doing an internship, the authorization sheet is one of the most important parts of the internship report. Its function is to certify that the intern has done the internship from beginning to end accompanied by evidence of a report.

On the sheet, there must be a signature from the manager or company leader, and finally, it must be stamped with the company stamp.

But Carolina hasn't decided whether she should make the format for managers or company leaders, she'll think about it later, because the report doesn't exist yet. Carolina explained this to them.

"The format is made using the name of the company leader, please!" said one of them again, slightly pleading.

Carolina just looked at them and ate her food again.

Who are you to arrange my report format?

"Ahem," the woman sitting opposite Carolina coughed for a moment, before continuing, "If you want to write Ethan's name, can you ask him for his autograph too? While writing our names, here is a list of our names," she said then took out a paper containing a list of their names.

Seeing this, Carolina finally realized that they were asking for a special autograph. The red apple should probably have to write dear plus their names, and finally give an autograph, maybe along with the date on which he signed the paper.

"I'm sorry, I can't," Carolina said calmly, hoping they would understand and not bother her again.

"You are so stingy! We kindly ask for favors!" one of them was suddenly annoyed that Carolina turned them down. But Carolina just kept quiet and continued to eat her mixed vegetables with the peanut sauce, she even accidentally took the crackers with her hands, dipped them in peanut sauce, and ate them.

The woman sitting opposite Carolina just smiled understandingly, before standing up from her seat, she said, "Here's a paper listing our names, okay, in case you might change your mind and you can help us. We're really fans of Ethan, let's go back friends,"

Carolina just kept quiet and continued to eat her mixed vegetables with the peanut sauce, not looking at those who left let alone the paper they left on the table.

"Who are they? Are you all right?" just as Carolina was about to return to enjoy her mixed vegetables with the peanut sauce, Andrew, seeing the women had left, sat down in the chair opposite her.

"I don't know, they just sit down earlier," Carolina replied nonchalantly and quickened her speed to chew the food in her mouth.

Andrew just kept quiet, there was something different about Carolina, was she mad at him?

"I'm going first," Carolina said after finishing her mixed vegetables with the peanut sauce.

"You want to go back to the boarding house? Come on, I'll take you," said Andrew

Carolina, glancing at the hot weather outside, "Well, let's go," she finally answered.

Even though she doesn't really like Andrew at the moment, instead of having to take a motorcycle taxi and spend money, it's better if she is accompanied by Andrew. After all, it was Andrew himself who offered, not her who asked to be brought back!

"I think it's just my feelings," thought Andrew who thought there was something wrong with Carolina,

***

"I'll be right back," said Andrew when Carolina had gotten off his motorbike.

"Yeah, be careful," said Carolina then went straight inside.

"Eh, Ra, have you been here long?" asked Carolina, who was surprised to see Clara and a woman waiting for her in front of her room.

"Oh, no," answered Clara, who hadn't been waiting long for Carolina.

"I didn't expect you to came here, why don't you chat first?" Carolina asked pleasantly as she searched for her room key.

"I did, but Riko said you were being surrounded by the economic students," said Clara, who had previously asked Riko if he had seen Carolina on campus, Riko only replied with a photo of Carolina in the cafeteria surrounded by other women.

"Ah yes, I don't look at my cellphone yet. Come on in," Carolina said after opening her bedroom door.

"We won't be long. We just stay here," Clara refused.

"Oh okay, then why are you here? Ah! Your clothes huh? It is still at the laundry, Ra. I haven't taken it yet," said Carolina, who could only think of the reason why Clara came to visit her.

Could it be that she needs to wear the clothes she borrowed at the club hotel when they went to Bali?

"Not! Even if you don't return the clothes, it is okay. So this is..." said Clara again who deliberately hung her words because she was confused about what to say.

"Wow, that's right, Rae. She is similar!" suddenly the woman who came with Clara said, she looked at her cellphone screen and then saw Carolina's face.

"Yeah, so you think i am lying, huh?" asked Clara. The woman just grin.

"What is wrong?" asked Carolina, confused.

"Ah this, actually I'm here because of this photo," said Clara finally then showed the woman's cellphone screen.

Carolina looked at the photo, it was a photo of the red apple with a student wearing a Smart University alma mater jacket that Carolina had seen earlier when five third-year women confronted her, but it seemed a little different from the photo she had seen earlier.

Wait a minute…

Why is my face clearly visible in this photo?!

Shouldn't my face be blurred?!
