Chapter 51: Please Give Up on Ian

"Excuse me, here are your cake and your drink," the waiter said as he brought over the desserts and beverages.

"Thank you," Aurora replied out of habit.

"Please enjoy."

Gemma, smiling radiantly, scooped a spoonful of cake. "Aurora, perhaps you already know that Ian has been pursuing me for three years."

Aurora shook her head. "I didn't know."

She had only recently transferred and really wasn't interested in such gossip.

Most days, she hid her Bluetooth earpiece in her hair to listen to work updates from Asher.

She had neither the time nor the energy to concern herself with who in class was hooking up or breaking up.

To her, these matters were as trivial as children playing house, hardly worth mentioning.

Aurora's honest answer only led Gemma to misunderstand that Aurora was interested in Ian and was trying to intervene, hence her denial.

"Well, it's natural you wouldn't know, having just arrived," Gemma continued, "We met in our first macroeconomics class..."

Gemma quickly began to chatter away, leaving Aurora wondering how well she really knew her.
