Chapter 428 The New Lecturer Turned To Be...

Joanna watched Anthony as he ran towards the huge black gate.

"Heaven must have sent me an angel in the form of a brother to compensate for the love of a family I never received since I was a child," Joanna mumbled as she smiled at Anthony's back.

Joanna soon joins Amos in the car. Together they made their way to campus which was not very far away from Anthony's school.

Joanna and Amos reached campus some minutes later but she didn't have the opportunity to look for Audrey.

She had to attend a lecture immediately after she arrived.

In the large hall, Joanna heard the students discussing rumours they heard about some changes being made to this particular course but she didn't pay much attention to them.

She went over their last lessons to get herself prepared for whatever questions the strict Mr Fin would ask.

They were all expecting Mr Fin to enter the lecture hall but to their surprise, a tall average-looking young man in brown pants and a white shirt entered the hall with materials in his hands.

Their mumblings made Joanna raise her head to find out what the commotion was about.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Joanna asked no one in particular when she set eyes on the man standing at the podium, in front of the board.

"Do you know him?" Amos asked seeing the surprised look on her face. He gazed at the man from head to toe hoping he would be able to recognize him but he couldn't remember his face or features no matter how hard he tried.

"Not really," Joanna replied nonchalantly and returned her gaze to what she was doing.

"I wonder what question Mr Fin is gonna ask me today?" Joanna mumbled as she skipped through the note in front of her.

Any time she enters a lecture she has the habit of taking notes and pointers because this helps her in studying easily whenever the exam approaches.

"And who says it's Mr Fin who is gonna take the class today?" Amos quizzed. His question made Joanna take her gaze off the book in front of her.

She gaze at him with a confused expression, "What do you mean...,"

"Can I have your attention please?" The man's voice interrupted Joanna's sentence.

Even after he talked the mumblings didn't die off. But the murmurs increased instead as if his voice had fuelled it.

"Hello...," He raised his voice a bit higher than theirs. Only this way was he able to get their attention.

"Mr Fin who was in charge of this course has been promoted to the Chancellor of the university...," The shout of surprise that erupted forced him to keep quiet.

Joanna's shock was greater than the others. Although Mr Fin's promotion was supposed to be a thing to rejoice about, so many of the students weren't very excited about it.

Yes, Mr Fin is a strict man whom no students dare to mess with but all of them can testify that he was a great teacher.

"Silence everyone," He tried to call their attention but none of the students paid attention to him anymore.

While some found the news good, others were unhappy with it.

They knew that now that Mr Fin had become the Chancellor, their good, happy days on campus were gone.

"So starting from this moment I will be taking over Mr Fin's class....,"

"Exam period is drawing close won't the sudden change affect our performances?" Joanna asked. She was among the people who were unsatisfied with Mr Fin's promotion.

Joanna's question made the new lecturer shift his attention to the front row where his attention never went ever since he entered the hall.

His eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he set eyes on Joanna's beautiful face.

"You....," He stammered with his index finger pointing at Joanna.

Joanna was more concerned about the new development to care about his astonishment.

"You are not familiar with the students nor are we familiar with your method of teaching so that means we will have a hard time coping," Joanna relayed her fears.

She was certain that so many of the students shared the same thoughts as her and their reactions proved her assumptions right.

The new lecturer was lost in thoughts as he gazed at Joanna. His ears were shut to the uproars happening in the hall.

Amos didn't like the way the new lecturer stared at his woman so he decided to put an end to whatever fantasy was going through the man's head.

He stood up, moved away from his desk and went to stand in front of Joanna's desk. True to his guess, he was able to get the young man's attention when he did this.

"I am sure our concerns are justified so will you say something about it?" Amos demanded in a firm tone.

"T-that...," the new lecturer who hasn't regained his composure stammered.

He looked away from Joanna's direction and took a deep breath to calm down his excited heart.

He shifted his gaze to where Amos stood afterwards.

"We have taken that into consideration and we are making preparations to ensure that the sudden change doesn't affect your performance at the upcoming exam," The new lecturer replied to Joanna's earlier statement.

"But...,"

"For today's session, we are gonna use it to know each other...,"

"What the hell is he spewing?" The lady sitting behind Joanna muttered angrily.

"Is he trying to tell me that I deprived myself of sleep just to come and listen to others introduce themselves?" She added and hit the brown desk.

Her outburst didn't go down well with Joanna and she decided not to let it slide.

"This is the problem with humans, they don't know their place and tend to act up...,"

"If you are not satisfied with his arrangements you can just get the hell out of here instead of disrespecting him. Something you wouldn't have dreamt of doing if it was Mr Fin standing in front of you," Joanna retorted her deadly glares focused on the blonde-haired lady.
