Nathalie's presentation made a good impression on the Professor and with a very small difference in grades, she ranked first in the marketing course. Nicholas was in second place.
Both concepts were considered very good, but Nathalie's was considered more friendly, because it also took into account the value of housing ownership by the lower middle class.
When the professor praised Nathalie's presentation, she could feel Nicholas' sharp gaze piercing her sharply.
"Ah, Nathalie, shouldn't you and Nicholas be in the same group?" asked Arnold, the class president. "Why are you and him working alone?"
"Oh," Nathalie replied while looking at Nicholas. She deliberately raised her voice. "I don't like working with people who are too confident that their ideas will be the best, so that before they even start, they are already afraid that their ideas will be stolen."
The corner of Nathalie's eye saw Nicholas' eyebrows furrow, and she smirked.
