Chapter 198: See It Now
"But you know what I want in exchange. Right?" Lucy’s hands clenched into a fist. She nodded stiffly and left Nora’s room. Lucy had entered with a smiling face, but it looked so upset when she left.
Kate, who was waiting for her to hide, was relieved. She came out from the hiding, surprising Lucy for a second.
"Did she insult you too?" it was hardly a question the way Kate looked at Lucy with pity. "You should have told me that you are going to confront her too. We would have gone together." she wrapped her arms around stunned Lucy and started walking.
"You know Penny was still worried for her. She could not concentrate on the exam because she was thinking about Nora all the time. I only went to ask why she did not give the exam, but she scared me with a cold look and then slammed the door in my face. What did she do to you?" Lucy finally realized why Nora had asked about kate.
"She had called me to share her notes. I thought she was offering friendship. But then she started to insult Penny. I had no choice but to leave after scolding her. But I could not get the notes or it would have helped Penny and us." Lucy sighed dramatically, making Kate sigh too.
Foolish girl! Was she like that in the past too! Nothing but Penny’s minion or the parrot!?
"Forget her! The result will be out in two days and then Penny will leave for inter province competition. Then the gap between Penny and Nora could not be covered. We will see how she behaves arrogantly then?" Lucy nodded. She did not want to leave gaps in her story.
They went to buy lunch together and returned to Penny. Penny was reading a french book loudly. Her pronunciation was better than a native french speaker. Lucy had to admit, Penny had skills to give Nora competition.
"Ah! You are here too." Penny smiled sweetly at Lucy. "since your makeover, you have been so busy that i thought you do not need old friends." Penny teased softly but her eyes were cold.
"Not at all. We are besties. I have only changed my look for that foolish Jamie." Lucy looked aggrieved. "I wanted him to run behind me."
"And you have achieved that. Congratulations!" The voice was so cold that even Kate paused to look at Penny. "But do you need to go to such lengths for a man? Lucy, I have told you many times. A man should look at your heart, not your face. He used to ignore you before and now.. Leave him." It was an order with no discussion. Lucy sneered in her heart.
