The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chatper 355

Chapter 0355

The next morning at breakfast, the candidates were gossiping as per usual. Topics were spa rse, especially since we weren’t allowed to watch any television. But the girls amused themselves with who was feeling under the weather, and who was wearing what to the ball.

I tried to participate more than I had before. My heart still ached some, but talking with Veronica and Julian had helped more than I realized. Though Susie had previously known, it was difficult to speak freely with her, as we were always around others when together.

It was nice to have so many friends around me, ready to support me.

Beside me, Elva was digging into her waffles. She had two cheeks full when Nicholas walked through the door.

She tried shouting his name, but I quickly reminded her, “Finish chewing. Then you can go say hello.”

focused today as he marched straight to Olivia.

Olivia slowly lowered her fork. She tapped at the corners of her mouth with her napkin.

A camera crew followed Nicholas in and quickly found different positions as Nicholas stopped

“Olivia,” he said.

She batted her eyelashes up at him. I didn’t hate her for it. I knew this was part of the game, and Olivia very well could have been the best contender in the place. She came from a well- connected pack. She was well-trained and strong, both in physicality and me ntality.

So I didn’t hate her. But I did hate what was taking place right in front of me.

I would have run away if I could have. But that would only draw the camera lenses to me. For Nichola s’s sake, for the sake of his sacrifice of our near-relationship, I had to keep my

backside in my chair and endure.

“Yes, Prince Nicholas?” Olivia said sweetly.

“Will you accompany me on a date tomorrow?” he asked.

“Why, I would be honored,” Olivia replied.

“Good.”
