Mashauva waved Bruno goodbye before she went back into the school.

It was still early in the day when she returned to the dormitory, so Frida hadn't returned yet.

Lena was applying a sheet mask, whereas Hailey had just came out of the bathroom. She greeted Mashauva enthusiastically when she came back.

"Mashauva, you're back. Where did you go today? Oh, you bought something?"

Hailey stared at the exquisite bag in Mashauva's hands as she asked.

"Yeah." Mashauva nodded, biting her lower lip, thinking of how to sugarcoat her words. However, in the end, she decided to just be straightforward as she would still be turning down Hailey's invitation no matter how nicely she framed it.

"Hailey, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I may not be able to attend your birthday party."

Hailey was all smiles at first, but after hearing that, her smile froze for a while before she jolted back to her senses.

"Why? Didn't you promise me that you would go last night? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Mashauva bit her lower lip lightly, not replying.

"Is there something wrong? Mashauva, are you still suspicious of me?"

"No, no." Mashauva shook her head. "It's not that. I have something else to do on that day, so I won't be able to attend."

With that, Hailey wanted to ask more. Meanwhile, Mashauva recalled Bruno's words, and she stepped forward with Hailey's gift in her hands.
