Chapter 303 How Could He Bear to Leave You Behind

"Looks like Nova really had her doing a lot," Katniss sighed.

Cecilia clicked her tongue, "Yeah, she was played like a pawn. But now, all this gossip's out. Nova's toast."

Katniss noticed Cecilia's eyes light up at the mention of gossip and chuckled, "Cecilia, you'd make a killer gossip columnist."

Cecilia laughed, "I know, right? I get such a thrill digging up these stories!"

They shared a knowing smile.

After a moment, Cecilia patted Katniss on the shoulder, "Katniss, you'd make an awesome doctor, saving lives and all. When you hit it big, don't forget to let me ride your coattails!"

Katniss nodded with a grin, "And you better not forget to cover my exclusive stories."

As they were chatting, a voice suddenly interrupted them.

"What are you talking about? Looks like you're having a blast."

Katniss looked up and saw Jesse, whom she hadn't seen in ages.

Jesse noticed Cecilia beside Katniss and exclaimed, "Oh, Cecilia's here too."

Cecilia rolled her eyes at Jesse, "This is my house. Who else would be here if not me?"

Jesse chuckled and sat down next to Cecilia, "Well, not necessarily. Didn't your dad give this place to your sister? It's normal for you to move out."

Cecilia glared at him and huffed.

Katniss looked at the two curiously, "You guys know each other?"

She hadn't known they were acquainted.

Jesse said, "Of course. The Thorne family and mine have some connections, so naturally, we know each other."

Cecilia rolled her eyes again, "Who knows you, old man?"

"What? You call me old man? I'm only a few years older than you!"
