Standing alone in the office, Blake furiously kicked the table. "You're forcing my hand, Noelle! I'm not gonna give you a way out, either!"

In the hall, Noelle was busy practicing PK-ranked matches with her team members, so she didn't notice when Blake left. After training, she received a text from Cedric.

"I'm at the school gate. Come out when you're done."

A sudden wave of nervousness hit her. She grabbed her bag and walked to the school gate, where she spotted Cedric's car parked by the roadside.

She subconsciously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and got into the car.

"Here. Take this." Cedric handed her a bouquet of fresh flowers, which completely surprised her.

She took them over. "Thank you."

"Why are you so surprised?"

Noelle glanced at the flowers in her arms. "It just feels unreal. You don't seem like the type to give flowers."
