Chapter 544:

Leah, ever perceptive, noticed the subtle shift in Clarissa’s demeanor. A brief flicker of coldness passed through her eyes as she asked, “Miss Holland, you don’t look so well. Are you sure you’re alright?”

“Maybe I’m just a little worn out,” Clarissa responded, brushing her face and forcing a faint smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.

“How about we take a break and sit down at a café nearby?”
