Chapter 195

The school anniversary celebration finally came to an end with the strains of "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban echoing through the auditorium.

Serena and Rock joined the throng of people streaming out of the building.

"Serena, it's still early. Want to take a stroll around the campus?" Rock suggested.

Seeing the hopeful look in his eyes, Serena couldn't bring herself to tell him the truth.

Once the celebration was over, she would be leaving Alderburg.

They might never see each other again.

"See you next time, then."

Serena nodded slightly and turned toward the parking lot.
