ON GOING Seah, a sponsored student at a prestigious university, possesses intelligence, ambition, and a life seemingly devoid of want. Yet, a past betrayal has left her feeling profoundly worthless, transforming her into a cold and distant woman. She carries the weight of abandonment, a wound that festers beneath a veneer of success. Seraphine Gill Aikawa, a captivating professor, and reowned architect at Seannist University, is admired for her exceptional teaching abilities and striking beauty. However, beneath the sophisticated exterior lies a similarly guarded heart; her aloofness a shield against vulnerability. Students whisper of her icy demeanor, yet secretly crave her approval. When the paths of these two guarded individuals collide, their carefully constructed emotional fortresses are tested. Will the coldness of their pasts melt away in the face of an unexpected connection? Will Seah's cynicism and Seraphine's reserve give way to warmth, understanding, and a transformative shift in their perspectives on life and love? Prepare for a story of unexpected intimacy and healing.?
