With Mr. Clem’s help, and Mr. Marshman’s promise as the Dean of Hoofmorn University, Tiffany’s admission papers were quickly processed.
Almost no time was wasted as Mr. Clem took Tiffany’s documents and went to the relevant departments to finalize her admission.
All while Jasper and Tiffany sat in the lounge. Half an hour later, Mr. Clem returned with a stack of materials in his hand.
“It’s done. As a special recruit freshman in Civil and Commercial Law in our Law Department, you will study full-time for four years, Tiffany. Your diploma will be the same as the other students who enrolled via the traditional entrance exams.
“Should you wish, you can also take the postgraduate entrance exam for further studies.”
Dorian smiled as he told Tiffany, “Welcome to Hoofmorn University, freshman.”
Tiffany was respectful and understanding, so she immediately bowed to Dorian once she heard the man’s words. “Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Clem.”
Mr. Clem smiled widely. He could tell that Jasper cared for Tiffany after this series of events. He did not know what relationship the two shared, but that did not matter to him.
As long as Jasper was Hoofmorn University’s partner, then there was nothing wrong with these ‘privileges’.
“Not at all. This is my name card, you’re free to look for me if there’s anything you don’t understand in school.
“The lecturer arranged to head your tutorial class is in a lecture right now, so I’ll bring you to meet him after he’s done later. Most of your time here in school will be spent with these lecturer and other classmates,” Dorian said.
Tiffany took the name card with both hands and replied with pursed lips, “Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Clem.”
Jasper got up and shook Dorian’s hand with a smile. “I’ll have to trouble you to help Tiffany from time to time, Mr. Clem.
“I’m not always free, nor will I always be in Waterhoof City. Tiffany’s studying all alone here in Waterhoof City, so I’ll have Tiffany see you as an older brother to turn to. I’ll put her in your care.”
Dorian quickly replied, “It’s no trouble at all. I’m very happy to help.”
Mr. Marshman was in a meeting, so Jasper did not go to visit the man. After processing Tiffany’s admission, Jasper and Tiffany followed Mr. Clem as they arrived at Tiffany’s assigned dorm.
“Tiffany, our school provides single dorms. Are you sure you don’t want them?” Dorian asked.
“No, thank you. Jasper told me that I should socialize more, and I like making friends too,” Tiffany replied softly.
Dorian nodded, feeling that Tiffany was indeed an understanding child.
After they settled Tiffany in, Jasper then pulled out a bank card and placed it into Tiffany’s hand.
“I’ve already pre-deposited your living expenses in this card, and there are many ATMs on campus. Use it when you have to–there’s no need to be frugal. This bit of money doesn’t matter much to me.
“I sent you to school so you can study, so don’t starve yourself of things and experiences just because you’re unwilling to spend the money.”
Jasper reminded, fully aware Tiffany’s character.
Tiffany pursed her lips but did not reject it. She took the bank card and looked down as she said, “Thank you, Jasper.”
“There’s no need to thank me for this,” Jasper huffed a laugh, “I’ll be going, then. Look for Mr. Clem if you need anything. You can come talk to me too, as I’ll come and visit you from time to time. If you’re free, you can also go back to Nauritus City to visit your big sis Schuler.”
Tiffany nodded heavily as she watched Jasper and Mr. Clem leave.
