Wendy was on her way out for dinner with some friends. She had not expected to run into Vinson as
soon as she walked out of the school grounds.
Meanwhile, Vinson had lost the domineering aura that usually accompanied him in his usual suit. In his
overalls, he looked attractively wild and rebellious. It was difficult for anyone to pull their eyes away
from him.
Naturally, Wendy stood rooted to the ground as well. She had come to a complete stop as soon as
Vinson entered her vision.
Her face grew warm at the sight of him. However, when she recalled the way he had treated her, her
expression turned cold.
“Wendy? Come on! Why are you stopping here?” The two girls who were walking with Wendy turned
back to look at her with frowns on their faces.
Instantly, Wendy snapped out of her daze, smiled faintly at the girls, and hurried to catch up to them.
As the two girls followed Wendy’s gaze, they could not help but feel nervous looking at Vinson standing
by his car.
“Should we go out through the back door?” the taller girl suggested
“What are you scared of? Half a day has already passed, and nothing happened so far! Mr. Nightshire
must be
even more frightened of us. Let’s just go! There’s nothing to be scared of!” the other girl replied with a
smirk.
With that, she grabbed their hands and dragged them past Vinson.
Wendy and the taller girl kept their eyes fixed on the ground. They were afraid that Vinson might notice
them and confront them after recalling what had happened earlier that day.
Luckily for them, Vinson did not even glance up as the three girls walked past him.
“What did I say, huh?” the shorter girl said gloatingly once they were out of his earshot. “There’s no way
he would confront us over such a trivial matter. You two should stop worrying about it!”
The taller girl exhaled in relief and beamed, “Well then, shall we go celebrate with pizza? My treat!”
“Okay!” the other girl replied cheerfully.
On the contrary, Wendy could not bring herself to even crack a smile.
I walked right past him, but he didn’t even notice me! He really doesn’t give a sh*t about me! If he did,
he would have been able to spot me in the crowd!
Feeling rather irritated by the turn of events, she trailed behind her two friends in silence.
From a distance, Arielle noticed Vinson leaning against his car outside the university gates.
Trisha caught sight of him, too. After all, Vinson was impossible to ignore.
She did not want to come between the two of them, so she bade Arielle goodbye and went her own
way. “See you tomorrow, Arielle!”
Arielle caressed her head and reminded, “If you’re having any problems living alone, let me know,
okay? I can come back anytime!”
“Sure, don’t worry about me,” Trisha said with a smile.
Pleased, Arielle gave Trisha’s hair one last ruffle and let her go.
Trisha blushed a little and hurried away with a wave.
Seeing that, Arielle could not help smiling back at her. Then, she turned and walked toward Vinson.
Meanwhile, Vinson was staring intently at Arielle. It was as if the entire world had fallen away, and they
were the only two people left in that space.
However, he had noticed the interaction between the two girls, and it had made him feel rather
unhappy.
Arielle had never caressed his head like that before.
Is it because I lack hair, or am I not as likable as that girl?
As soon as Arielle approached Vinson, she could sense the dissatisfaction emanating from him. It was
as if the temperature around him had dropped a few degrees.
Confused, she looked at Vinson. His eyes were icy, and his brows were knitted together. He could not
have made his feelings any clearer.
“What’s wrong?” Arielle asked.
“What do you think?” Vinson replied, glaring at her.
