Chapter 92: Clash with the Five Idiots(12)
Leon turned around as he heard footsteps behind him. Another girl stood before him—Clarisse. She looked irritated, if not outright angry. Leon took note of her expression and decided to approach her, greeting her first.
"Hey, Clarisse. How are you?" he asked in a friendly tone, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
Behind Leon, Angelica and Olivia exchanged curious glances as they observed Clarisse. Angelica, in particular, seemed surprised by her sudden appearance.
"Clarisse? What are you doing here?" Angelica asked, furrowing her brows.
Clarisse gritted her teeth and glared at Angelica before replying in a sharp tone,
"The same thing as you. I came to talk to Leon."
After saying that, she turned to look at Leon and stared at him for a few seconds. Slowly, her expression softened, her breathing steadied, and the tension in her shoulders eased, as if just seeing his face was enough to calm her. Then, turning back to Angelica, she bowed her head slightly in an apologetic gesture.
"Sorry, Angelica. I'm in a really bad mood right now," she admitted, making an effort to sound calmer.
Angelica studied her for a moment before giving a small nod of understanding.
"It's fine. I know why," she said softly, her voice carrying a hint of sympathy.
With that exchange settled, Clarisse straightened up, her gaze now filled with newfound determination. She looked at Leon once more, her eyes burning with restrained fury.
