Yvana said lackadaisically, “He doesn’t look that special with two eyes and one mouth, like anyone
else. When the news of his appointment is released, you can see his photos on the Internet.”
Seeing that Yvana refused, Snow knew she had not provided enough incentive to Yvana. So she
gritted her teeth and said, “When this is over, I will give you my turquoise necklace. Haven’t you liked it
for a long time?”
Yvana did like the necklace, but Snow would never let go of it. So she did not expect that she could get
it as a reward for taking Snow to see Sebastian. Yvana happily agreed. Just as she was just about to
leave, Snow said, “Wait a second. Harvey will come out right away. Wouldn’t it be better to ask him if
he wants to go with us?” Her idea was to let Harvey see her relationship with Sebastian and change his
attitude toward her.
Yvana felt she had a point. But Sebastian had said that she could only see him in the principal’s office.
Not that she wanted to see Sebastian. She was just worried about not getting the turquoise necklace if
Snow did not get to meet Sebastian.
“Snow, why don’t we go first? It doesn’t matter if Harvey goes or not. He will see the governor often
because of his Ellison Corporation connections. But you’re different. My uncle came to the Royal Creek
Institute and would only stay in the principal’s office for a while. Don’t regret it if you’re not meeting
him.”
Snow was undecided for a moment upon hearing what Yvana said. While she hesitated, a noise came
from the lecture building, where people shouted Harvey’s name as they swarmed around Harvey.
There was no warmth in Harvey’s eyes, his smile not as enthusiastic as before.
Snow saw Harvey, and her eyes lit up. “Harvey, over here.” She then regretted calling out to him, as
Harvey had been cold to her recently, unpredictable like a time bomb. Not sure if he would come over,
she figured that the safest thing to do was to walk up to him. So Snow gritted her teeth and walked
forward with Yvana.
Harvey heard her call and saw her come toward him, but he did not stop her from doing so. He waited
for her to come near before asking. “What’s up?”
Snow suddenly hesitated, looking at the familiar yet strange person. Still, she gathered herself and
said, “Mr. Wyance is here, in the principal’s office. Would you like to come with me to meet him?”
There was a look of surprise in Harvey’s eyes when he heard Sebastian was there, but he quickly
regained his composure. “Sure. I haven’t seen Mr. Wyance for a while.”
He handed his books to Edwin behind him. “Help me bring them back to the dormitory. Thank you.”
Then he looked at Snow. “Let’s go.”
Snow was overjoyed. She was expecting Harvey to refuse, but he agreed. Snow was secretly
delighted, unaware of Harvey’s thinking. He thought that since Sebastian
had come to see his grandfather, it was only good and proper for him to meet him, but he could not
care less about what Snow thought. He kept a placid disposition, his eyes revealing nothing
Yvana was also happy that Harvey was willing to go along. She and Sebastian had little in common
and only talked about her studies when they met occasionally. With Harvey tagging along, the
atmosphere would become too awkward.
The three of them walked together, and from time to time, there would be envious stares coming their
way. Harvey was absent-minded, while Snow walked in the middle with her head held high, like a swan
that would never fail. Yvana was walking on the other side, thinking about her necklace.
