Chapter 9 9: Hindering her image

Tiffany stood there for fifteen minutes, waiting for Gabriel or Eveline to leave. Finally, after fifteen minutes, Prof. Beckham's office door opened, and Gabriel left.

Tiffany was about to walk towards Gabriel, but she stopped to look at the person behind him. The joy in her eyes disappeared.

Her brows furrowed in confusion as she watched Gabriel turn to face Eveline.

Quickly hiding back, Tiffany tried to eavesdrop on them. But no matter what, she was unable to hear a word.

Meanwhile, there was an awkward silence between Eveline and Gabriel.

While Eveline was cursing her fate, which slapped right into her face, Gabriel was somewhat happy with Prof. Beckham's suggestion.

"When would you like to start the lessons? I am free this afternoon. If that is okay, let us go to the library and start studying," Gabriel said in a tone that was more gentle than ever.
