"What did you say?"
"Are my words not clear enough?"
Runa gaped at Arden's flat expression. He seemed so relaxed after what he said to her.
There was a creak of a chair shifting, distracting them both. The lecturer has arrived and the students have gone to their respective seats. Their conversation stopped.
Damn Arden for making Runa unable to concentrate throughout the lecture. She failed to do her task several times, fortunately, the lecturer did not ask her to come forward.
What Arden said bothered her. Why does he need an excuse to come to her house every night? And why does he want to see her every night? Is there something he wants to know from her, like Ethan, who has hidden motivations behind his help and friendly attitude?
On the other hand, Arden did his task smoothly, but he did not immediately leave the class after his assignment was finished. He waited until the time was up and was still there as Runa packed her things.
