Chapter 84

• My hands were busy tidying up my things on the table when Ariel came and stood in the doorway of my room. My attention was drawn to him; he smiled with an unpleasant smile, whether it was because the current atmosphere was pretty quiet and a little tense. After all, there were only the two of us, or because Ariel does have that kind of smile, I don’t know, but I smiled politely back at him. The man stepped in without me asking and closed the door. He came up to me and stood right in front of me. My heart was pounding uncomfortably, and my mind was sounding the alarm. What does this man want?? What’s with him?? He came over to me and stood right in front of me.
• “Hello Mikaila, you look like you always do.”
• Ariel was trying to tug a few strands of my hair behind my ear when I reflexively avoided his hand; his eyes showed surprise, and his expression looked hurt because I avoided him. The next second, he smiled like a moment ago. I feel uncomfortable with this situation. We are alone in the room. I know that at this time, the school building is empty; it’s just the two of us.
