The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0455

Not long after I parted with Julian and returned to my room to change, I was alerted that the candidates were to report to the foyer to receive the results of the theater event. I had expected the results to come quickly, but this seemed extra fast.

Though with Bridget the professional actress among the group, maybe the royal family and the producers didn’t need all that much time to determine who deserved the highest ranking.

Running on zero sleep, I was tired as I changed into fresh clothes and moved a little slower than usual as I headed down to the foyer.

Mark must have told Susie about the fight between Nicholas and Julian because no sooner had I entered the room, then she came rushing up to me.

She looped her arm through one of mine and asked, “What happened?”

“I don’t know what to say,” I said. “Nicholas saw Julian and me coming out of the woods and attacked Julian right away. He barely said anything, and he didn’t listen to reason.‘

“He must have been furious,” Susie said.

“He was,” I agreed. “But if he would have just listened to me, I could have told him that nothing happened between Julian and me…”

Susie blinked, startled, like she hadn’t been expecting that. “Nothing happened?”

Now I was startled and looked at her in shock. “You thought something had?”

Susie looked a little sheepish, like she was embarrassed by what she had thought. “That’s what all the rumors are saying?”

“Rumors?” I gasped. Who the hell was going around talking about this? Julian wouldn’t have said a word, and I doubted Nicholas would have.

“I didn’t believe them at first,” Susie said, “But after Mark told me about the fight this morning, I wasn’t so sure they were false anymore. Nicholas isn’t the type to fight over nothing, no matter how on edge Mark says he is.”
