Chapter 84After speaking with Liam, Rose fell on her bed and with her eyes shut tightly, she took in a deep breath, trying to calm her raging nerves down. She understood that Liam had a lot of workload at hand but at the same time she felt there was more to it. The way he had spoken showed that something more than his exams were bothering him and she wanted answers to it. Staring at the screen of her phone, she wanted to dial his contact again only to push back the phone under her pillow, cranking her head to the side. “If only I was with him, I would have comforted him.” She muttered, wrapping her hands across her chest. Just then the door creaked open and nurse Lila poked her head in with a bright smile etched on her lips. “You will be having your therapy session a bit earlier tomorrow.” She said, walking further into the room with a paper bag. “You bought the candies?” Rose asked with an excited look on her face. “I'm sorry I couldn't but someone else who had heard your wis
Chapter 85During her therapy session, Rose couldn't help but think about her meeting with Naya earlier. She was glad that she wasn't like Lily who was self centered, rather, she genuinely cared. “At last, Liam found himself a supportive girlfriend.” She muttered, her lips parting into a bright smile. Smacking her lips she returned her attention to nurse Lila who was now scowling with her hands resting on her waist. “Are we going to spend the whole day here?” she asked, trying to act sternly only to burst into laughter the next minute because of the expression on Rose's face. After leaving the ward, Naya made her way towards the elevator with her phone against her ear. Just like she said the previous night, she was already working on how to give Lily her bitter pill to swallow. “Hey Dave, any update? Were you able to ascertain if she was the culprit or not?” “Lily Davidson, I guess.” The person on the other end snorted. “That wasn't the answer I expected though.” She rolled he
Chapter 86Dave wrapped his hands across his chest and after staring at her for a while, he tossed his head to the side and then exhaled. “What do you think you want to do?” His voice was firm while he used his eyes to pierce through her, hunting for the right answer. “I have a plan… I think having her contact is going to help… hold.” She said suddenly as she began to suck her teeth. For the next free minutes that followed, she kept darting her eyes around before she finally settled it on Dave who was unperturbed. He still had more jobs to handle and so he had shifted his attention to them. “Do you have proof? Any proof that would show she exchanged the app and…” “Sold it to the dark web.” “Perfect! Do you?” “I don't.” He replied and at once all her enthusiasm flew into the air as she sank into her seat with her eyes tightly shut. “Finding a proof in this case is hard and it has to be concrete otherwise, you will end up making a fool out of yourself.” “So what do you suggest
Chapter 87Returning his gaze to the examiners in front of the hall, Liam dug his hand into his hair and then began to tug on it. Blinking his eyes rapidly, he tried to concentrate on the paper in front of him as he gripped his pen tightly but everything in front of him was blur.“We are sorry to interrupt your exams, we got a report that the paper was leaked before the exams and so we have to come investigate.” The team leader said and then nodded. At once, his subordinates who had followed him filed into the hall and then began to search the students. They were so meticulous in their search, making sure to take note of every single thing so they wouldn't miss out. While all these were going on, Liam felt uncomfortable since he had forgotten to search himself properly before the exam. He had been doing this since Lily told him she was going to have a pound of her flesh. A few minutes into the search which only two students were involved in, someone walked into the hall and at on
Chapter 88At the end of the two hour examination, students refused to leave the hall, they were all talking about the incident that happened a while ago. Everyone had a word to say and didn't want to listen to the other making the hall to be noisy but still, they were all making the same points. Liam remained seated for a while, he wanted to find out what exactly happened from his mates and immediately he grabbed the hint, he rose to leave. “Hey, Liam.” Jake hailed, walking up to him with a little smile on the edge of his lips. Liam had told him the exact statement Lily had said to him a few days ago and so he was happy that it backfired to her so he couldn't keep his excitement back to himself. “She got what she deserves don't you think so?” He asked, nudging Liam who just nodded as several thoughts swirled through his head at the same time. First, it was the look on Lily's face and now she was at the mercy of the panel who will decide her guilt. “Ugh!” He sighed, tossing his
Chapter 89In order to stop her from doing something stupid, Lily was detained in the school cell which was more like a classroom as investigations were carried out. Several times she had tried to scream out her lungs but even when she parted her lips to perform that action, only air would come out, leaving her frustrated. “This wasn't what I bargained for. I haven't failed before, why am I failing now?” She muttered, darting her eyes around as she tried to keep her heart steady. With beads of perspiration gathered on her forehead, she was breathing heavily as fear coursed through her veins. Rubbing her palms together, she tried to keep still but she just couldn't. The only remedy right now was to rewind everything that had happened but that was just a vivid imagination. With her head now buried in her palms, she muttered, “I should have just slipped the materials into his bag when I arrived earlier. Why did I decide to hold onto it until after the exam so I would raise an alarm.”
Chapter 90When they got home, Liam tried to hold Naya back and ask her the one question that had been troubling him. He was wondering how she had figured out that something was wrong at school and how she also knew Lily was involved in it. Pressing his lips tightly together, he kept on staring at her departing figure and when she turned in his direction, he shifted his gaze aside, pretending to be busy on his phone. “I'm in my room, you can call me if you need me.” She said and he nodded in response, not bothering to raise his head in her direction. Smirking, Naya wrapped her hand across her chest and after staring at him for a while she shrugged and then began to climb up the stairs. Even when she got to her door, she still had to look over the railings only to see him still focused on his phone. “He must be revising again.” She muttered and then finally slipped into her room. With a bright smile on her face, she did a little dance before plopping on her bed with her eyes tig
Chapter 91Since Liam was going to meet with his mom by ten am that morning, he had a lot of time to spare and so he decided to spend it with Naya who was spending her morning at home too.After making breakfast, Naya invited him to the table to join her, which he did without thinking twice. After taking the first bite of the pancake in front of him, he raised his head and then gave her a thumbs up making a smile spread across her lips. “I improved right?” she was giddy with excitement. “Yeah, you did. You see, practice makes perfect.” “I was thinking I won't learn any culinary skills but… I did… and I'm so excited right now.” She mused with her hand across her chest. Liam on the other hand was just staring at her with his brow raised. He felt she was overreacting and whenever she returned from her high cloud of excitement, he was going to point it out to her. “What? You don't look pleased.” She said as she grabbed her glass of warm milk. “Even a child in the kindergarten will
