The Author's POV

Chapter 196

Cocking her head to the side as her auburn hair gently fell on her shoulders, Emma unamusingly asked as she pointed towards a pale youth with deep blue eyes and black hair standing next to Kevin.

"So you want me to come with you guys to help him buy a suit for the upcoming banquet?"

Nodding his head, Kevin asked, "Yeah, can you do that?"

Frowning, Emma stared at Ren who was yawning next to Kevin.

...observing Ren, Emma's feelings were mixed.

Although she no longer hated him like before after realizing her own immaturity, his presence still irked her.

After all, her pride was huge.

Even if she had realized she was in the wrong, she wouldn't openly admit it.

Like the famous quote said, 'realizing you were wrong wasn't hard, what was hard was admitting you were wrong'

Knowing this, looking at Kevin who was sincerely asking her for a favor, after a while, nodding her head Emma begrudgingly agreed.

"Fine, but only this time"

Since Kevin had helped her out on multiple occasions in the past, she wouldn't mind doing him a favor.

Besides, she could just use this chance to relax. After all, after she helped Ren buy a suit she could very well enjoy herself.

Turning around and glancing at Amanda who was slowly and quietly packing up her stuff, Emma asked.

"Amanda, you want to come along?"

Slowly turning her head, Amanda blinked her eyes a couple of times as a confused look appeared on her face.

"Come along?"

Nodding her head, Emma pointed towards Ren and said.

"Yeah, come with us to help that guy get a suit"

Tilting her head, Amanda became even more confused.

"Get a suit?"

Noticing how Amanda was becoming even more confused, Emma explained. "Yeah, apparently he doesn't have a suit for the banquet next week, and since Kevin asked for my help I decided to help out. Why don't you come along too?"

Hearing Emma's explanation, Amanda understood. Placing her hand on her chin as she glanced at Ren, Amanda's brows knit together.

"Hmm..."

Seeing Amanda thinking about it, pulling her by the arm, Emma pleaded. "Don't leave me alone with them..."

Turning around and glancing at Kevin and Ren, Emma's eyes soon paused on Ren as she added "Although I trust Kevin, I don't trust that guy at all. What if he suddenly attacks me out of nowhere? What am I going to do? Please come with me"

Emma's words weren't without merit. Even though she already had a hunch about Ren's true strength, when it was revealed that it was she was extremely surprised.

It took her quite a bit to come to terms with the news. After all, she had a general idea of his background. To be rank with such a background, was nothing short of a miracle.

Therefore, he was definitely suspicious in her book.

"..."

Hearing Emma's remarks, Ren's mouth twitched.

He was speechless.

...did she not know that he was standing next to her and he could hear everything?

Since Emma was helping him, Ren tried his best to suppress his annoyance. However, with Kevin next to him trying his best not to laugh, Ren found this task becoming increasingly harder.

Elbowing Kevin by the side, Ren's face darkened as looked at Emma and pointed towards himself.

"Oy, you know I'm here"

"Yeah, yeah"

Waving her hand to dismiss Ren, Emma proceeded to look at Amanda again as she continuously tugged her arm.

"So you coming?"

"...Okay"

Seeing how persistent Emma was, after a couple of seconds, Amanda eventually nodded her head as a helpless expression appeared on her face.

In the end, she also had nothing to do so might as well just go. Plus, since she'd always reject Emma whenever she'd ask her to go out, Amanda felt slightly bad compelling her to agree.

"Yay!"

Happily clapping her hands, Emma proceeded to look towards the front as she asked.
