A Beauty With Multiple Masks

Under Donovan’s cold stares and heavy duress, Terry’s dorm mate had to fess up. “Terry’s gone to look for Boss… I mean Arielle.”

Donovan’s furrow just got impossibly tauter in that instant.

First Trisha, then Wendy; both of them have been denied their eligibility to undertake the examinations one after the other because of Arielle. Now even Terry seemed to have been cajoled by her too. What exactly is she up to? Is she that determined to see to it that I won’t be able to graduate? Am I really such a fixation for her, or is she having a go at me because she wants to get my attention?

“Mr. Baxter? Mr. Baxter?”

Donovan was lost in his own fantasies. It took the students yelling for him to jolt back to reality.

“Ahem…” Donovan coughed. “Per my last instructions, listen to the local broadcast and jot down as much of it as you can. I’m going to try to get in touch with Terry.”

When he finished, he walked out of the dorm and rang up his missing student, only to have the latter hang up on him outright the moment the call connected.

At this moment, Terry was seated across from the trio of Arielle, Trisha, and Jared in one of the cafeterias within Maxwell University.

When he saw that the call came from Donovan, he did not even have to think twice before he dropped it.
