By the time I decided to go back to the classroom, Jason still didn't show any intention of leaving soon. He was already in his third year. Was it okay for him to skip class like this? Victoria persuaded him to go back, but he used his broken arm as an excuse while pretending to be pitiful. To spend more time with his beloved, this guy didn't hesitate to lie through his teeth.
Not that it concerned me, though.
When Victoria saw me off to the door, she leaned towards me and whispered, "I heard you will talk to Alex after this?"
Considering how close Alex and Victoria were, I guessed it's not surprising if she already knew about it. "Yeah. I am going to the Gardener's villa today after school."
"I am so glad. Sit tight and talk nicely, okay? Don't forget to report to me about the result later." She caressed my head with that motherly smile again on her face. It's been on my mind for some time, but Victoria treated me like I was her daughter.
