Edwin’s gaze swept over Luna as she clung to Julian’s arm, and a flicker of pure ridicule danced in his eyes. *What utter shamelessness.* He remembered her all too well — that desperate woman who had ambushed him in a private room, practically begging to be his student. And here she was again, parading herself in public with a married man, right under the nose of his own wife.
Edwin couldn’t help but think of Autumn. What kind of man had she married? A man who flaunted his mistress in broad daylight, without a shred of respect for his own wife. His character was pathetic, and Edwin’s contempt deepened. Three years. Three years of that girl’s life wasted on a man like Julian. It was a tragedy. But at least she had finally come to her senses, pulling herself out of that emotional quicksand. Now that she was making a comeback, it wasn’t too late.
He didn’t know the exact web of relationships between Autumn and Luna, but one thing was clear — no matter how capable Luna might be, her character left everything to be desired. And even if she were a genius, she hadn’t even come close to meeting the standards for him to take on a student. Why waste his precious time?
But Luna, undeterred, flashed him a dazzling, confident smile. She pulled out her tablet with the poise of a performer presenting her finest work. A few quick taps, and she handed the screen to Edwin. “Professor Shaw, this is a paper I revised a few days ago. Please take a look. It shows my sincerity. I truly want to learn from you. I hope you’ll give me this opportunity.”
She had poured sleepless nights into refining that paper. Her professional pride was on the line. She was confident — no, she was *certain* — that her work would impress him.
Edwin skimmed it briefly, then frowned. “Ms. Lewis, your level is quite impressive — if we’re talking about the average person. But I stopped accepting students a long time ago. You’d be better off finding someone else, rather than wasting your time on me.”
He was being polite — too polite, perhaps. The blunt truth was that Luna simply wasn’t qualified to be his student. But since most young women valued their dignity, he didn’t want to humiliate her in front of the crowd. So he softened his tone, offering her a graceful exit.
But Luna’s pride wouldn’t let her retreat. A flicker of awkwardness crossed her face, but she doubled down. She scrolled through the tablet, pushing it closer to him. “Professor, could you please take a closer look? Even if you’re not satisfied, shouldn’t you at least read it all the way through?”
Edwin sighed — a heavy, weary sound. He pushed the tablet back. “Ms. Lewis, I’m very busy. I don’t have time to waste here with you. Do I need to be more direct? You haven’t met the standard for me to take you as a student. Understand?”
With that, he turned to leave. Some people just couldn’t take a hint. It was exhausting.
Behind him, Hector — Luna’s protective brother — boiled with fury. He wanted to step forward and argue, to defend his sister’s honor. But Simon grabbed his arm, holding him back. *Not now.*
Then, from the silence, Wilson finally spoke. He had been observing the whole scene, and now he offered a gentle push: “Professor Shaw, this young lady seems quite talented. Why not give it some thought?”
Edwin let out a cold snort. “There are plenty of talented people across the country. Am I supposed to take them all in as students?”
Wilson was speechless. He retreated into silence, muttering to himself, *Alright then. I never said a thing.*
One was determined to become a student; the other was determined not to take any. They were locked in a stalemate of stubborn wills.
But the rejection stung. It burned. Luna felt her composure slipping. Her eyes were beginning to redden, and her grip on the tablet tightened until her knuckles turned white. She couldn’t understand — where exactly had she fallen short? Her credentials were top-tier in every aspect. So why was Edwin still unimpressed?
*When the stars forgot to return my wishes, I learned that not every dream is meant to be granted.*

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter is a masterclass in pride and humiliation. Edwin’s cold, logical rejection contrasts beautifully with Luna’s desperate, almost pitiful persistence. It’s uncomfortable to watch — and that’s exactly why it’s so good. The tension is palpable, and the emotional stakes are high. We see Luna’s mask crack, and we can’t help but wonder: will this rejection push her to become better, or will it turn her bitter?
⭐ **Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars** — A short but powerful scene that sets up future conflict beautifully.
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Luna won’t take this lying down. She’s the type to turn a setback into a vendetta. I predict she’ll dig into Edwin’s past, or try to find a way to sabotage his professional reputation. And with Julian by her side, she may have more resources than she lets on. Meanwhile, Autumn’s comeback might just catch Edwin’s attention in a way Luna never could.
