Susan then left the apartment with a backpack and an umbrella. After coming out of the building, she raised her gaze toward the dazzling sun before walking into the sultry weather.

Indeed, the sun was rather unforgiving that day.

Hence, she decided to just do her revision at the school. The school had allowed her to retake the examinations after clarifying what had happened.

When Susan had left for school, Yasmin remained at the apartment to continue cleaning up. She felt relieved knowing that she had the whole place for herself and Ian, so she was thinking of ways to approach Ian. Should I just tell him that his aunt had asked me to accompany him in delivering the gift? Or should I find an excuse so that he'd be more approachable?

She was left in a dilemma for quite a while.

Ultimately, she made up her mind when she saw Ian coming out of his room after getting changed. “Ian, your aunt had left. She said her school had agreed to let her retake her examinations, so she'd gone there to revise.”

Upon hearing that, Ian, who was wearing his blue shirt with white stripes, stood still and stared at her coldly. “Why are you still here, then?”

“Huh?” Yasmin was startled, and her scalp went tingly.

“Y-Your aunt told me to stay. She told me you're going to send some gifts on your parents' behalf, so she'd allowed me to keep you company. She'd even given me taxi fares,” she uttered cautiously while whipping out two one hundred banknotes.
