Bryan's POV.“What's up bro, you are not answering my question,” he said, after he noticed that I spaced out.“No, I'm just amazed, like you know those things that j don't even know, I'm surprised,” I said, and he smiled.“You have a lot to know about me,” he said, and smiled faintly. “You don't like attention, but you work at a bar, and you know these things when I've never seen you with a friend before, tell me the secret dude,” I said, and he smiled.“Okay,” he said. “You still don't know the reason for my anxiety?” He asked, and I got confused. “What are you trying to say?” I asked confusedly. “Later, I will tell you everything soon,” he said, and patted my shoulder. “Okay,” I said, and we stood up. We walked out of the lecture hall, and I headed towards Giselle's office, but Seb stopped me. “Where are you going?” He asked, and I smiled playfully. “What do you mean?

Giselle's POV.I went back to my office after the lecture and I couldn't get the scene from earlier off my mind. I did not understand why the girl would behave like that, I sense fear in behavior, but what could I do? She did not want to be saved. I thought, but I couldn't ignore the situation. I never imagined that such things could happen in my school. I was down, and couldn't stop thinking about the girl's mental health.“How can they bully their mate? Do they have a conscience?” I asked no one in particular.“That is unfair,” I mumbled to myself.Even though she pretended like she was strong, I didn't think that was the case, she was just scared. I started feeling a headache, so I picked my bag and took out my medication. I stood up from my chair to the water dispenser. I took my medication, and rested my head on my desk for a while. I couldn't even know how to take care of myself, but I was worried about someone else's problem, I couldn't believe myself. I sighed heavily and I s

How dare you? I didn't tell you to stand!” The blonde girl yelled. Audrey wanted to kneel, but she was stopped by the boy.“What! Are you choosing a scholarship student over me?

I knew what she was up to, she wanted to clear her thoughts with alcohol.“Okay then,” I said. I raised my hands and called the bartender ‘James’ .

But she turned around all of a sudden and walked towards me.“Let me drop you home,”she said, and I widened my eyes in surprise. “You want to drop me home?” I asked, trying to confirm the words and she nodded at me. “You don't have a cab voucher either,” she said, and I remembered the day she wanted to pay for her ride, but she didn't have a cab voucher so I borrowed it from a female student, then I knew that she wanted to do it out of good will.“So you want to take me home?” I asked again, knowing Giselle did not like wasting her time on people, I wondered what triggered her to remember such details. “Yeah, since you did no

Did I look that invisible to you?” She asked angrily, and I just stared at her blankly. “Yayyyy, answer my question, how dare you act nonchalant towards me!” She flared up, and I just watched her perform her madness, because I was too tired to even hold my bag. I wanted to sleep after having fun, but that woman would never make it possible.“Don't be angry,” I said flatly, and that triggered her anger more. “Don't be angry? Haha, you are turning into something else!” She exclaimed, acting like

I started to prepare for work, and I didn't pack too much lecture materials because of the meeting I was going to attend. I picked a dark beige suit, with an ivory blouse.

I smiled faintly looking at him. “I didn't know she would be that extreme,” he said, but then I remembered that he came to the scene without being called by Ivy.“How did you know where I was?” I asked with my brows knitted. He stopped talking for a moment before he cleared his throat. “Your anklet,” he pointed to my leg. “What?” I chuckled. “I had a bad feeling and you don't like the idea of bodyguards that was why I installed a tracking device on it,” he explained.I remembered how he made sure I wore the anklet when going out.
