Damian Yale was also visibly surprised. He'd always felt that exceptionally beautiful girls had a hard time focusing on their studies. Autumn Rhodes, for example; everyone praised her for her looks and her grades, but to him, she was still just an embroidered pillow—all show and no substance.
Vera Xavier, however, was the first student in the history of Veridia University to be admitted with a perfect score in every subject. That in itself spoke volumes about her abilities.
Damian Yale smiled faintly and extended his hand to Vera Xavier. "I'm Damian Yale, the president of the student council. Welcome!"
The surrounding male students were momentarily stunned. Damian Yale was notoriously arrogant and never offered to shake hands with anyone. It seemed this incredibly beautiful, perfect-scoring girl had truly piqued his interest.
Vera Xavier smiled but didn't take his hand, simply offering a polite greeting instead. "A pleasure."
