Chapter 248: Why Renn?

Angela walked through the gate, trying to hide the blush that colored her cheeks. She felt like her whole body was on fire. The day had turned out far better than she had expected.

"You look like a girl who just got her first kiss," Alex teased, his eyes following her face.

Her brows furrowed though the smile stayed. "Do I?"

"Yes, and it got me jealous," he said, his expression suddenly dull.

Angela blinked, surprised. She was about to ask him why he would be jealous when she saw James, the senior who had been crushing on her, walking toward them. "Oh no. Why does he have to show up now?" she muttered under her breath.

Alex looked over his shoulder, and when he saw James, he burst into laughter.

"It’s funny? Then keep laughing," Angela said with a smile that quickly turned into a frown. She tried to look sick, hoping James would leave her alone.

"Hello, Angel. I haven’t seen you all day," James greeted when he reached them.

"Angel is tired. We were at the hospital. A friend got sick," Alex said calmly, holding her hand. "You must excuse us."

"I’m sorry to hear that," James said, his face softening.

"Thanks. You can talk to Angel tomorrow," Alex added quickly.

"Alright. We’ll talk after the celebration," James said before leaving.

Alex frowned. "Celebration? What celebration?"

"Check your newsfeed, Beta," James replied over his shoulder.

Angela didn’t bother to check. Her phone was still with Alex, so she followed him upstairs. The moment they got into the room, she sighed in relief.

"He’s going to give me a heart attack one day," she said, taking off her wig and tossing it on the couch. She slipped off her shoes and sat down. "I’m exhausted."
