Chapter 874: Roleplay

"Get dressed. Chop chop!" The woman tapped Jonathan's shoulder three times before happily skipping away.

Jonathan opened his mouth, but the woman was already assisting others before he could say a word.

"..." He gazed down at the pair of uniforms in clear plastic. 'This is nonsense. I don't want to stay in a place where Penelope Bennet is around.'

This wasn't the right time for that. One more thing-Dean Pierson was here. Jonathan came here for a reason, and he didn't want to linger around since he already got what he wanted. With that thought in mind, he squeezed through the crowd to pick up something from his table.

When he got what he needed, he navigated his way to the exit. However, as he approached the exit of the gymnasium, three guys blocked his path.

"Hey, transferee, where are you going?" one of them asked, studying him and deciding he was a transferee just because they didn't recognize him.

Jonathan smiled amicably. "I'm sorry, but I'm-"

"It's okay, let's go," one of the men said, holding Jonathan's shoulder and turning him around, pushing him along with the other guys. "Come along. Otherwise, the president will be disappointed."

"Come on, come on."

Jonathan opened and closed his mouth, but to no avail. All he could do was get pushed to the men's restroom to change.
