Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 183 The Real Chess Prodigy

"Bang-" The office door was flung open.

Zelena and Candy walked in. "Nolan, we're here to get our new uniforms."

Nolan and Violeta turned to look, meeting Zelena's accusatory gaze.

Nolan furrowed his brow, glanced through the documents on his desk, found Zelena's size information, and said calmly, "Your size is in the second cabinet on the left, third shelf."

Zelena walked in, pretending to open the cabinet to get her uniform. She exchanged a glance with Candy, who understood immediately.

As Zelena grabbed her uniform, a small ping-pong ball "accidentally" fell out of Candy's pocket and bounced under the desk.

"Oh no, my ping-pong ball!"

Candy quickly moved forward, bending down to retrieve it.

Violeta stepped back to give her space.

After picking up the ball, Candy stood up and bumped into Violeta.

Nolan gently pulled Violeta back, allowing Candy to catch a glimpse of the content on their computer screen.
