This is getting interesting.
The last hint of warmth disappeared from her eyes.
After getting back to school, she went to her classroom and did nothing much throughout the
afternoon.She was busy writing something in her notebook till someone came to look for her after
class.
"Susan, we're having a party later.Would you like to come?"
Zaylynn, whom she hadn't seen in a while, asked.
Party? She's inviting me? Susan shot her a scornful look with a grin hanging on her face.
"Are you inviting me because you want me there? Or are you inviting me because of someone else?"
"Susan!"
Zaylynn blushed because Susan had read her mind.
"It's all right.I'll call lan and get him to join you.I won't be joining because I have to do revision at night."
Susan rejected her and took the initiative to present her with someone she wanted to see badly.
Hearing that, Zaylynn left happily.
Seconds later, when Susan called lan, he'd already left the lecture hall, and he saw a flashy
Lamborghini parked nearby.
"lan, Zaylynn said she'd like to invite you to a party at her house.Since your project is almost done, you
should have some fun.I'll get Timothy to accompany you.Go and relax, okay?" Susan urged.
Susan remembered Ian's parents telling her that they'd sent lan there to study because they wanted
him to learn to socialize with others.
Tonight is the perfect chance for him to do that! However, she was puzzled when lan hung up on her
right after her words.
What happened? Did his phone die or something? This has never happened before.Susan sighed and
hung up the phone as well.
At around six that evening, most of the students had already gone back to the dorm.
That was when Susan made her move.
After making her way to the Faculty of Finance, she went to the office of the student council to look for
Yasmin.
"Yasmin?" Susan uttered.
"Yes?"
Yasmin, who was busy writing something, raised her gaze.
Susan? Why is she here? Yasmin was caught off- guard, and her expression changed because she
was surprised to see Susan there.
Susan, however, smiled and remained calm.She'd even brought a gift along to see her.
"Why haven't you left yet? I've gone to the dorm to find you, but your classmates told me you're still
out.I figured you might still be here, so I've come here instead.How's your leg? Is it getting better?"
"Huh?"
Yasmin saw the gift Susan had put on her desk and felt even more uneasy.
"O-Oh...I'm okay now.Thanks..."
"Don't mention it.I should've come to see you earlier, but I've been busy with the examinations.I'm
sorry, Yasmin? Susan apologized.So, is she here just to see me? Yasmin gradually calmed down and
grew less wary of her.
"That's okay.It's no biggie, actually.It's going to be completely healed in no time."
"Is it? That's good, then."
Susan appeared relieved when she nodded.
However, Susan sighed when she sat down and opened the box of the matcha cake she brought
along.
"Frankly, my mood hasn't been great recently.I've flunked my examinations, and I don't think I can do
my internship at Hayes Corporation."
"What?"
Yasmin abruptly raised her head, and a look of guilt flashed across her face.
"What happened? Your results have been good, no? How did you end up flunking it this time around?"
"Well, I was told that Hayes Corporation had suddenly released a piece of data, and they've requested
the interns to have a go at it.I've never seen such complicated data, so I've been eliminated."
Susan paused for a while before adding, "However, I've looked into it, and it seems like Hayes
Corporation had never requested for such a thing.I'm going to get lan to ask about it.If that's really the
case, then someone must be messing with me."
As Susan was talking calmly, she was stuffing a piece of cake into her mouth.
Instantly, the office fell into complete silence.It was as if time had come to a standstill.
As neither of them was saying a word, it was deadly silent in the office that one could hear a pin drop.
Indeed, if lan were to go and verify the matter, everything would be revealed.
Yasmin's hands under the table were as cold as ice.She was starting to panic, and her throat had dried
up due to her anxiousness.How is she so smart?
"All right, then.Head back soon, okay? I'll get going now"
Seeing that Yasmin had kept silent, Susan stood up and was about to leave.Yasmin was speechless.
When Susan was about to reach the entrance, Yasmin finally mustered her courage and uttered, "If
someone is messing with you, who do you think it might be?"
Susan was standing by the entrance when she turned around calmly and replied, "I don't
know.However, I don't think you'd have anything to do with it, right?"
