Mia sighed at the stubbornness of her students. As she shooed them away with a hand gesture, they simultaneously said, "Leave us here, Miss. We want to prevent Axel from transferring out of school here."Miss, Axel won't transfer from this school, right?"

"So, when are you going to introduce me to your girlfriend?" asked Elena just before she resumed her eating activities.The woman's two beads looked calmly at Gideon, who seemed to sigh. An instant of sadness graced Gideon's handsome features, which made Elena's eyebrows knit together."Why? Didn't you say that you were close to a woman?" Elena seemed to be observing Gideon.
