Chapter 178: The Scholarship Program

(Author’s POV)

Fabian Stephens was thrilled to meet Myra, "Ms. Miracle, I finally got to meet you. You might not know but you are quite famous in Orford." There was a wide smile plastered on his lips. Myra didn’t understand how to react. She just nodded and greeted him back with a polite ’Hello’.

The day’s start was already messed up when she and Yelena woke up late and after that it was getting weirder and weirder.

Garry Yates with his usual stoic manner introduced Fabian to both the girls, "Professor Fabian Stephens is currently a lecturer at Red Stone University and he is also an Orford alumnus."

"HOLY S~," Yelena clicked her tongue and corrected her language, "I mean woah! You are a professor at Red Stone Uni.? Don’t pull our legs grandpa. Mr. Stephens looks quite young to be a professor," Yelena was looking at Fabian with hearts in her eyes. She was totally awestricken by him.

Yelena trying to façade of a proper lady in front but was drooling inside her head. She thought, ’Fabian Stephens looks nothing like a professor. The professors I know are mostly grey and greasy haired, who have ballon like bellies and thick glasses. Ohh, he is wearing glasses. But all in all, they are all, BORING.’

Fabian was in a simple ivory dress shirt, pairing it with beige hued linen trousers and white leather low top sneakers. His stainless steel rimmed glasses were giving him a scholar vibe. His face had an innocent charm as he smiled, he had a cleft chin.

"Ms. Yates, you are flattering me too much," he stated as a slight blush crept up his cheeks.

Yelena eyes widened, "You are seriously a professor? That’s, that is awesome. You must have a really high IQ." She was praising him like a king.

"Yelena Yates, let Professor Stephens eat," Garry commented but his tone was not as stern as before.

"Ohh, I am sorry for that, Professor Fabian, please," Yelena gestured for him to start his meal. "Do you like sushi rolls? This place has the best sushi rolls. Do try it." She looked at him with expectant eyes.

Fabian gave her a wry smile and declined curtly, "Thank you for your thoughtful gesture but Ms. Yates. I don’t eat fish."

"No problem, so what would you like to have?" Yelena didn’t mind at all.

In all this, Myra was sitting quietly and eating her breakfast cum lunch. She did not even know why she was even there. She didn’t understand the purpose of this breakfast.

Fabian then turned to Garry and said, "Mr. Yates senior, regarding the matter you called me today."

Yelena looked at Garry and then shifted her gaze to Fabian curiously. Garry announced, his tone back to being stern, "I heard Red Stone University is running a scholarship program. Yelena, you were telling me about some exchange program earlier?"

"Yes, I did mention it in the passing. What of it, Grandpa?" Yelena wrinkled his brows and questioned.

Fabian added, "Ms. Yates, Mr. Yates senior reached out to me regarding that scholarship program. He wanted me to explain to you the details and requirements about that program."

Garry looked at Myra who was still eating absent mindedly. Yelena told him that Myra seemed interested in that exchange program with Kingsterdom affiliated college. Red Stone was a much better option and he was investing in some of its program. So, he arranged for this meeting.

Fabian gave a detailed explanation about the scholarship program.

Red Stone was an elite university, admitting only straight A students. It was one of the top universities and Kingsterdom’s direct rival. A lot of students would die to get in it and the admission process was quite rigorous. The tuition there was expensive and adding living costs and other things would make it astronomically high. Red Stone hardly provided these programs so this was like getting your hands on a hidden treasure.

Fabian Stephens told them, "This scholarship program is unique. If you meet the required criteria, not just the tuition fees will be paid in full, the scholarship holder would get a fully furnished house near the main campus and a car for travelling as well."

Myra’s ears perked up as she was sipping her tomato soup. All of a sudden, after knowing the benefits, she seemed interested in it. It was like what she was thinking before was solved. But for it to happen, she needed to pass the criteria.

Yelena commented, "That’s very generous. I guess that is why it is one of the top universities. Myra, you have been utterly quiet. What happened? Don’t you like the food here?"

"Ahhh~, no, the food is great. I am just listening the conversation between you and Professor Stephens," Myra casually stated.

Fabian then asked, "Ms. Miracle, why don’t you apply for our scholarship program? Our, Red Stone is searching for students like you who is capable to achieve great things."

Yelena chimed in as well, "Yes Myra. You were asking me about that exchange program. This one seems more beneficial and Red Stone University is my dream place. We both can apply and get admission there."

Yelena did not need any scholarship so she asked Myra whether she was interested.

Myra was very much interested in that program but she then looked at Garry. He was the one who called Fabian Stephens, so he must be getting some kind of benefit from it. When she thought it like that, she got a bit reluctant.

She then uttered politely, "Professor Stephens, thank you for thinking so highly of me. I would like to discuss it with my parents first." She left it at that.

"No problem, no problem. You can tell me directly. Can I have your contact number?" Fabian asked sweetly. He then added, as if to clarify his intentions, "The procedure for application is a bit complex. The scholarship holder needs a recommendation letter from one of the Red Stone Professor. This way, if you want to apply, I can do it for you easily."

Myra nodded in understanding. She wanted to know more about the program but didn’t wanted to make it too obvious in front of Garry so she gave her number to Fabian.

Fabian saved it and pinged her back immediately.

Yelena commented, "Professor Fabian, I would also like to know more about Red Stone University. Can I have you number too?" She was a bit disappointed he didn’t ask her first.

"Sure, sure. Why not." They exchanged contact details and even emails.

Yelena then asked, "Is your insta ID linked with this number?" She was clearly flirting with him.

Fabian pursed his lips looked at Garry who had excused himself to take a business call. He then said, "I don’t remember. I hardly use it."

"That’s great," Yelena smiled as she searched but his ID didn’t pop up. She then searched with his name and three profiles with his picture on him appeared. She showed it to him, "Which one is yours, Professor Fabian?"

"This one," he pointed to his original profile. Yelena followed him and then the other profiled with his name and picture as well. There were countless photos of him from Red Stone Campus. It seems to be a fan account with over five thousand followers.

Garry returned after taking the call and said, "I have some urgent business to attend. Yelena, do see to it that everything it taken care of here."

"No problem, grandpa. You can go with ease," Yelena urged him to leave. She was glad. Now she can talk to Fabian openly.

Garry then turned his attention to Myra, "Ms. Miracle, take care of yourself." He then shifted his gaze to Fabian, "Professor Stephens, we will discuss about the library matter at a later date."

Fabian got up and said courteously, "Of course, Mr. Yates senior." He was glad that he got to meet Myra.

Garry exited the place and the remaining three ate and talked about Red Stone and other common topics.

Yelena’s questions were mostly playful, flirtatious and fun related whereas Myra mostly talked about the scholarship program and other related things.

Fabian happily answered both their questions. All in all, the conversation flowed smoothly and Myra seemed much more at ease after Garry had left.

They finished their meals and as Myra was about to got up, Yelena asked, "Do you need help?"

Myra shook her head.

Fabian noticed it and furrowed his brows. When Myra got up and walked, he then saw the cast covered ankle and asked, "Ms. Miracle, you are injured? Let me help you."

Myra declined is offer politely, "It’s almost healed. Thanks for offering."

She took few steps forward and wobbled. She has been sitting for too long and legs became numb because of it.

Yelena reached out to steady Myra as Fabian rushed to the other side, "Are you alright?"

"My legs are tingling due to lack of movement. It happens a lot," Myra shrugged it off.

Fabian excused himself, "I am sorry," and picked Myra up in a princess hold.

Both Yelena and Myra were stunned by his actions as he said, "I will take you to your car." His tone was serious.
