Eveline hastily exited the building, choosing a different route so as to avoid running into Gabriel as she soon emerged through the college gate.

She just wanted to get it over with quickly so she could get back to the college on time and avoid answering Gabriel's question.

Eveline got onto the bus and drove to the locality where Gracey lived. She learned that Gracey was the eldest child and had a younger sister. Her parents owned a small bakery, but their income was insufficient to pay for their daughters' educations.

Despite being aware of her family's circumstances, Gracey persevered and was awarded a scholarship, which allowed her to enroll at Aspen University, a reputable institution that aimed to open doors for its students in the future.

However, since her reputation was now in jeopardy, there was no way the professor could even suggest she be hired by a company.

Everything about Gracey seemed to be bothering Eveline, and the thought of someone being so callous as to use her for their own gain hurt her deeply.

Eveline realized that she had arrived at her stop when the bus abruptly stopped. As soon as the door slid open, Eveline got off the bus and began looking for Gracey's house.

After being declined, Eveline was left with no other chance but to meet Gracey in person.

She asked a few people about the bakery owners and soon after a few minutes of searching, she ended up stopping in front of the shop.

Taking a look at the small yet, welcoming shop, Eveline then walked inside, where she happened to find Gracey, helping her mother with some packaging.

"Excuse," she said, drawing both their attention, wherein one responded with a smile while the other was shocked.

The smile on Gracey's face vanished the second she saw Eveline standing in their shop. Fear quickly overcame her mind and she dropped everything before frantically making her way towards Eveline.

"Eveline, what are you doing here?" Gracey shot her eyes fiercely at the girl who dared to pursue her even after being turned down.

"Gracey, do you know her?" Her mother stepped forward after hearing her daughter call the girl's name.

Gracey, who had lied to her parents about having a week off after the sports day, quickly declined. She can't let her parents know about her being suspended for a week.

"No, I do not know her," she lied, making Eveline and her mother frown at her answer.
