The conversation ended on a sour note, and Zinnia didn’t even bother taking the gifts.

“Anne is always hanging around Betty. You need to be careful around her,” Maisie said to Zinnia.

Maisie shook her head as she watched Anne leave. She thought, ‘She used to seem like such a decent person, but ever since she knew Betty, something about her just feels off.’

“Got it.” Zinnia nodded, mentally adding Anne to her list of people to watch out for.

Zinnia knew she wasn’t the best at reading people. Often, people would cross her boundaries without her even realizing it. That was why she decided it was better to stay cautious from the start.

Master used to say she was too naive and would get taken advantage of once he wasn’t around. Back then, Zinnia would argue that no one dared to mess with her as long as he was around.

However, Master was gone, and she had to learn to protect herself.

Zinnia mentally blocked Anne and marked her as someone to be cautious of.

“See you tomorrow, Zinnia,” someone said.

Finally, the afternoon classes were over, and it was time to head home. Zinnia was still feeling pretty energetic by the end of the day.

The afternoon was filled with art classes, which Zinnia found manageable. After the grueling morning, the afternoon felt

like a breath of fresh air.

“See you tomorrow.” Zinnia’s classmates waved goodbye, and she returned their farewells while packing up her bag.

“Zinnia, let’s go home together. Isaac has one more class than us,” Maisie said as she walked over.

Isaac was in the advanced class, so he got out half an hour later. That extra half hour was for self-study, though some

teachers still took up the time for additional lessons.

Sure,” Zinnia agreed with a nod.

Earlier, Isaac had messaged Zinnia to let her know about his extended schedule, and the Lynn family had already arranged for a driver to pick her up.
