Chapter 7: Heed My Advice

"Why did you hang up on me, Miller?" Evangeline asked, her palms resting on the table in front of me.

"Are you talking about the last time I called you?" I asked nonchalantly. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm done typing the script."

I wanted to piss her more, but I know that her seeing me talk to Ash, and seeing how I excel in my academics was already enough to ruin her mood.

She just hates to see me thriving, doesn't she?

"I should be the one to hang up the call, Sapphire!" Evangeline exclaimed and slammed her hand on the table, causing my heart to skip a bit.

It wasn't because of what she did, but because of the student council laptop in front of me. If this was damaged, I don't know what I will do. I don't have the money to pay for it. "Fine, fine," was all that I could say. "Calm down, will you?"

She scoffed, but I ignored her. I continued my work and finished all the tasks she assigned me earlier. I sent them to her email, saved them on my online drive, and even on my flash drive. I make multiple copies because I've experienced sabotage here before.

I won't let that happen again.

"I don't have any tasks to do here now, right?" I asked as I stood up. Finally, I can study now.

Or not.

"Stop acting like you belong here," Evangeline said, her tone low and intimidating, as she grabbed the collar of my blouse. "You don't belong here."

But instead of being intimidated, I smirked. Using influence to bring down people is an act born out of fear, and that's exactly what she's doing right now.
