Chapter 38 Sure enough, more than ten minutes had passed, not only did Clarissa not manage to solve it, but she also made it worse. Even the part where Madam Hough solved was undone once more.
“The method you use right from the beginning was already wrong. Just give it back.” Madam Hough said finally. Her gaze at Clarissa gradually grew colder.
“Uh…I–I‘ve just finished an essay today, maybe I’m just too tired…” Clarissa stuttered an excuse for herself, blushing
“Is that so?” Madam Hough replied perfunctorily and stopped looking at her.
Clarissa was even more awkward.
“Pfft!” In the corner, Naomi gently let out a snicker. It sounded extremely piercing in Clarissa’s ears.
She was already furious about the incident the day before. When she returned home, she was even reprimanded heavily by her father!
At that moment, it was time for her to settle it with that bitch, Naomi!
“Madam Hough, I think Naomi likes this cube too. Should you let her try?” Clarissa turned in a different direction and stuffed the toy in Naomi’s hand.
Madam Hough turned to look at Naomi. She clearly had not much hope for Naomi.
“It‘s fine if you don‘t know how to do it.”
Naomi raised her eyebrow and gave a confident, arrogant smile. “Actually, this is quite simple.”
“What? Then solve it!” Clarissa harrumphed coldly. She was waiting for Naomi to embarrass herself.
“Okay,” Naomi responded calmly before lowering her head, studying the toy in focus.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
She had always been interested in this toy. She was not anxious to make a move. She merely observed the structure of the toy.
“Naomi, why are you not solving it? Are you lost? Just admit that you don‘t know how to solve it. Why are you boasting in front of Madam Hough?” Clarissa deliberately mocked with a raised pitch.
‘If I can‘t gain Madam Hough‘s favor, don‘t you dare think about it either!‘ She thought.
However, upon her words, Naomi started moving!
Her hands moved at such a brilliant and fast pace that the human eye could not catch up.
Madam Hough looked at Naomi meaningfully. Naomi‘s speed and solution to the cube were of a professional contestant in the World Rubik‘s Cube Competition!
“Naomi, it‘s pointless being fast! You have to solve it, that‘s most important!” Clarissa pretended to kindly remind Naomi, but she deliberately raised her tone while sneaking peeks at Madam Hough’s reaction.
However, it backfired on her quickly. The next second, Naomi stopped what she was doing and the cube resumed its original shape and color.
“I see, it’s a silver dragon. How interesting.” Naomi smiled and placed it on the coffee table.
She looked up and saw that Clarissa was completely baffled. Her face was fluctuating between turning blue and blushing.
“Even our company’s most talented programmer took almost twenty minutes to solve it. You did in less
than ten.” Madam Hough swept a glance at her watch. Her eyes had a sense of admiration for smart people in them.
“Not bad.”
“Thank you, I have to say, this is the most challenging puzzle I’ve ever encountered.” Naomi graciously accepted Madam Hough’s praise and replied to her with a calm smile.
Because of a small toy, her relationship with Madam Hough did not seem to be as frosty as it was in the beginning. “With your intelligence, I‘m sure you can get into a great university.” Madam Hough changed he
“But there’s something I want you to explain to me. Yesterday, I received a…”
At that moment, the door to the ward opened with a squeak. Jack walked in, interrupting Madam Hough‘s question.
