Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 36: I’ll Be Watching You

Everyone applauded after the ending speech. They all left to check out the booths, while we officers stayed behind in the auditorium for a mini-celebration of the successful launch of freshmen week. "Why does it always have to be him?" Evangeline asked in frustration, pointing at Tanner, who was walking towards us.

"Stop acting like that. I don't want to be with you either," Tanner replied, pausing briefly before adjusting his glasses.

Tanner was the studious type, partly due to his glasses and hairstyle, but he was hot. Many girls at the school liked him even though he wasn't as wealthy as Mason. Evangeline's face twisted in annoyance at what Tanner said. She was about to retort, but Tanner walked out of the auditorium, waving at her as he turned his back.

Evangeline was so talented. Besides being the project manager, she was also entrusted with hosting because she could maintain the audience's attention for long periods. She could also fake her emotions and pretend to be happy even when she wasn't.

People outside the department don't know how bitchy she is, though. The Evangeline they see on stage, the Evangeline they see in the classroom, and the Evangeline we interact with in the student council are all different. "Let's eat and celebrate for a while," Evangeline said before laying down the huge pizza she bought for everyone. "We'll be busy after this, so take advantage of the break while you can."

The previous day flew by so fast, and I was sitting at the park where I had seen Ash before.

I was glad Ash wasn't here, so I could really reflect.

All I had were questions and no answers. I was thinking about Mason's words, the picture I saw when I was in primary school, and those strange memories...

That day, I hoped I would remember more, but after that, no other memories came to mind. It made me wonder if it was real or just a dream.

Everyone had their tasks and responsibilities at the booths and other things for today, except me. This is the first time I have nothing to do. Evangeline didn't assign me anything.

I went to the library, not to do my duty but to read a book. It had been a long time since I last read a fictional book.

But I never expected to see Ash here.

"What are you doing?" I asked him in a soft voice because he was just staring at the spot where we got trapped before because of the bookshelves.

There are quite a few people here on the first floor of the library now, cooling off. Almost all the girls were staring at Ash.
