Ella nodded, "Leave the country. Anything else?"
"You!!" Jenny’s fingers trembled, "I trusted you...!"
’’And I am telling you I have nothing to do with this," Ella leaned forward and pressed her palms on the desk, "Professor, let’s be frank. I know you are Dean Mo’s mistress, not his daughter. So, if I had to reveal it to the world, wouldn’t I..."
"The reason you did not reveal it all at once is just so you could threaten me more with it!" Jenny’s nails dug into her palms, "But remember Ella, I will ruin you if you dream of doing that."
"Oh? How so?"
"You just said that I am Dean Mo’s mistress. Then let me tell you one thing, you don’t know what he is capable of!" Jenny smirked, "If you mess with me, you cannot imagine the consequences you will suffer..."
Ella sighed, ’’Haven’t you given me a demo of it years ago already? You pulled me down from the peak of my career with a well-crafted scandal just to keep me quiet... Now, I am already afraid of you..."
As she spoke, she retreated with her hands raised.
When Ella walked out of Jenny’s office, she found Ruby standing at the door.
"How was it?" Ruby looked at her.
Ella hooked her arm around Ruby’s and placed her head on her shoulder, "She is caught up in a scandal and she thinks I caused it."
’’Did you?"
Ella blinked, "Of course not. Do I look like such a mean person?"
Ruby gave her a look.
Ella raised three fingers, "I swear."
On their way, Ruby’s footsteps slowed. Ella followed her gaze and glanced at the grand audition ground being arranged for the drama auditions.
Due to the intricate preparations, the audition dates have been a little delayed.
As Ruby looked at the place, a glint flickered in her eyes but in no time, she looked away and continued walking.
Ella did not miss the subtle change in her reaction, "Have you thought about what you want to do after this?"
Ruby froze, "Not yet."
’’Do you love Max?" On their way out of the campus, Ella finally asked the question that she had been holding back on.
Before Ruby could say a word, Ella continued, "The Hill Family is very rigid in their customs. If you marry him, then they will expect you to only be his dutiful wife. Ruby, tell me honestly, are you content with that...?"
"I..." Ruby’s eyes dimmed.
Before Ella could say another word, a bouquet of flowers was shoved into her hands. And in the next moment, she was separated from Ruby.
Both Ella and Ruby looked up.
Ronan released Ruby’s hand and coughed once.
’’What are you doing here?" Ella frowned.
"I came here to apologize."
’’These are... for me?" Ella looked at the bouquet of white carnations and white lilies.
’’Of course not, I got it for your ex-boyfriend,’’ Ronan said in an attempt to mock her but the moment he uttered those words, he felt stifled by the awkward air.
Crap!
Ruby stepped away from him.
