After she placed that kissed on Lewey's cheek, Chelsca takes a distance from him but remains that fake sweet smile on her face.
"I have to call back on Nadia, she is eager to finish our joint project ASAP. Don't forget yours too, we have the same Topic!" she enthusiastically reminded him, then quickly stood up from her seat and did not give attention to anyone on that table when she left the room. She doesn't care if they would think she is rude, that would be better!
"Where were you?" Nadia began screaming on the other line.
"I am fine. I'll be there in a minute. I was stuck in the toilet, it must be the milk tea I drank earlier," she is looking for an alibi.
"Are you sure okay?"
"Yup!" She ended the call after another explanation for Nadia. She turned around and gasps seeing Lewey was standing behind her.
"Would you stop eavesdropping whenever I talk to someone on the phone?" she blurted out and glare at him.
Lewey rose one brow but then smirk. "Alright, if that is your request, future Mrs. Collins."
"In your dreams!" Her eyes widened from his joke. Yes. She will assume of it as only a joke. Chelsca wanted to rant when her phone ringing again, it was Riley.
"They never stopped calling me and began worrying what happens to me... so covered me up to your family. I'm leaving now."
"Wait - how if, I'll join you instead?"
Her eyes are even wider this time, "don't you do dare!" she gives him a warning stare.
"Then at least, a goodbye kiss?" Lewey pointed his left cheek as Chelsca kissed his right cheek just awhile ago.
She will be going to keel over with his craziness. Dragging her into his crazy game is already exhausting. Chelsca began walking away from him and raises a "f*** sign" on the air.
She walks in a hurry that she bumped into someone on the crossing aisle. "I'm sorry," she apologized then stared at the woman's face. She does wonder if where she saw her before?
But the woman just smiled while replying to her, "It's okay, am not looking the way either."
Chelsca nodded, then she continued trailing the hallway when she meets the person she avoided at the school earlier.
"Chelsca, where have you been?"
Before she answered, Chelsca glance at the woman she bumped into, and there she is... looking at her direction and to the person, she talks to.
She drags the man on the elbow then whispered. "I'm sorry, Uncle Kier, I just went to the Comfort Room. Let's go!"
"But there is one in our room? You don't need to go that farther," the lawyer informed her.
"Yup, but, it's the closest one there," she giggles, trying to hide her awkwardness. She just smiled sweetly at the middle-aged Lawyer and let him open the door.
"There you are! Where have you been?"
Ugh, everyone asking the same question, so she just smiled sweetly.
"Hi, Auntie Jean!" she exchanges hugs and kisses to Kier's wife.
"Chelsca!"
"Jino? You're here!" Chelsca was surprised to see this guy.
"Yup! Long-time no see! You did take your studies seriously, huh?"
"And what that means, huh?" she tried to grab him by the neck but she remembered that she was dressing up a fitted red dress.
"You know what? Acting like this, you won't get a boyfriend," Jino kidding her.
"Really? That was only your opinion!"
"Oh, are you saying that?" he is teasing her. "Ouch! I yield! I know, I never get to win against you! Agh!"
Chelsca grabs his arm and pins it on his back then twitching it. But she keeps quite a moment and contemplates... could she dare to mention at them about Lewey? No, impossible!
"Well, I don't need a boyfriend!" she professed afterward then let go of his arm.
"Ouch, how I can strums a guitar now?" Jino massages his right arm.
Chelsca rolls her eyes from Jino's poor acting. "It's rare for you to travel with your family, this is surprising. Is it just for a vacation?"
"Nope. I enrolled at Collins University today, so I have to come personally for some important matters."
"What!?"
"Wait? Why you are reacting like that?" Jino rose a right brow.
No! What she gonna do? If this guy starts attending Collins University then, this guy will bother her a lot!
Firstly, she hides her identity. Secondly, this guy is a member of that famous Asia band, The League!
People will recognize him, and they shouldn't be seen together!
Ugh! What FATE is this?
What punishment did heaven give her? And Albert will come next week as well!
