Ella Lacey was in the car when she took out her cell phone, saved the number Emma Campbell had left her, and sent her a text message:
"Sister Emma, this is Ella. On behalf of Arthur, I would like to apologize for his reckless behavior earlier. Please forgive him, okay?"
She quickly received a reply from Emma, "No worries, I wouldn't mind. Whenever you're free, I'll visit you at the university."
"Great, it's a deal then. I'll host you," Ella happily responded.

Half an hour later.
The car stopped at the east gate of the university. Ella, very cleverly, found a way around to the north gate.
For some reason, a thought flashed across her mind: Would that annoying guy be waiting at the school gate again after her disappearance for some time?
So, she avoided the bustling main entrance and jogged to the quieter north gate.
By chance, she ran into Yolanda Bardot here.
"Little Bardot, what brings you to the north gate?" Ella walked up and patted her on the back.
