Chapter 122: Dennis Visits
Meredith.
My heart leaped in my chest when I stepped out of the bathroom and saw Draven standing next to the ashtray.
I wasn’t expecting him in the room. I thought he had returned to the training grounds after I parted with him in his office.
Recalling the letter I was burning, I panicked at first. But as I arrived beside Draven, I was ready with an explanation, especially after seeing the ashes.
I wasn’t sure how long he’s been in the room, or if everything burnt up before he walked over to check it, so I had to give something close to a lie but far from the truth.
I wasn’t sure Draven bought my lies, but it didn’t matter since he didn’t have any piece of evidence to interrogate me with.
Luckily for my mental health, Azul arrived with a tray of everything I had asked for.
Then, Draven went into the bathroom, and I found a way to keep Azul with me until he stepped out and finally excused himself.
After Azul left, I enjoyed the fruits first while reading the History book, before going for the unhealthy snacks.
I ate all the buttermilk cookies before finally reaching for the grilled gizzards. And that was when I got distracted.
I ate more than I read and in the end, I had to go wash oily hands.
