Chapter 116-A Little Sensible
Helanie:
"I’ve been waiting for you at the lunch table, and you’re sitting here?" It was Lucy, her eyes suggesting she saw this as a betrayal.
"Oh, I didn’t realize we had skipped a meal—" I mumbled, my words trailing off as Lucy started to walk away.
It was an obvious indication that she was hurt and didn’t like me sitting and spending time with Jenny.
"Lucy—" I called out to her, getting up in haste.
"I think it’s because of me. She clearly hates me," Jenny sighed, following me to the hostel.
"Not that. That’s not the issue. She’s just worried about her mate bond with Gavin," I excused her as I had to go after Lucy. I could tell her conversation with Gavin might not have gone very well.
I asked around after entering the hostel and found out that she had gone to her dorm room. So, I quickly took the elevator and pressed the button. However, as soon as the elevator doors closed, my eyes landed on the floor buttons, and my heart sank when I saw the 10th-floor button. I blinked repeatedly to make sure I was seeing it correctly.
My fingers hovered over the button, even though I had already pressed the button for my floor. Something told me I shouldn’t double press it. I remembered the last time this happened and thought I had pressed the wrong button.
