Chapter 771: It Is Time
Liam seemed to decide he had said enough. He turned away from her and stepped off the platform, his movements calm and unhurried as he headed toward the door. As he passed Dylan, Sasha, and Anna, Sasha suddenly seemed to remember herself, and her cheeks flushed again as she leaned slightly into his path with a shameless smile.
"You know," Sasha said, twirling a strand of blonde hair around her finger, "if you ever want to teach someone else with that serious voice, I’m very available."
Anna’s face immediately twisted with secondhand embarrassment. "Sasha."
Liam looked at Sasha once, his expression unchanged. "I’m not interested."
He walked past without slowing.
Sasha froze with one hand still in her hair.
Dylan followed after Liam, laughing softly as he waved back at the girls. "Bye, little first-year storm cloud. Bye, responsible one. Bye, shameless one." Then his gaze shifted toward Gabby, who was still standing on the platform. "And you too, Asher Two-Point-Oh. You really did try your best. Don’t worry, that’s what people say when you lose badly but with spirit."
Gabby’s eyes snapped toward him.
Dylan grinned. "See? That glare. Definitely Asher Two-Point-Oh."
"You are incredibly annoying," Gabby said.
"I get told that by very talented people," Dylan replied, sounding pleased with himself. "It’s how I know I’m doing something right."
With that, he followed Liam out of the hall, the door closing behind them a few moments later.
