Chapter 60: A Brown Envelope Chapter 60: A Brown Envelope “I’ve noticed her visiting him a lot too.

What’s strange is that Four hasn’t outright stopped her, even though he wasn’t so accommodating before.

Still, even if she does like him, he doesn’t feel the same.

If he did, he wouldn’t have ordered those two statues to stop her from entering.” “Wait—what?” Ikenna’s brow furrowed.

“He did,” Somto clarified.

“But they weren’t there the first day she got through and as for the second day, they disobeyed Four and let her in.” Ikenna leaned forward, his voice rising slightly.

“So, what are you saying?

It’s probably just a one sided crush?” Somto’s eyes narrowed, his tone firm.

“Probably.

Help me confirm that…and kill those feelings before they grow, would you?” His expression remained shadowed, as though he were processing something far beyond what he was saying aloud.

“With pleasure,” Ikenna replied with a smirk, fully onboard with the idea.

Meanwhile, in her room, Nnenna sat cross legged on her bed, a determined look on her face.

She was deep in thought, strategizing how to discreetly deliver the pictures to Nurse Courage without drawing attention.

What she didn’t realize, however, was that her carefully planned attempts to earn 7,000 good points by completing her mission with Four had now been completely misunderstood.

To everyone else, her efforts looked like nothing more than the infatuation of a typical teenager.

Nnenna carefully packed the photos into a large brown envelope she had taken from the printing room.

Gripping a pen, she scrawled across the front in bold letters “Open this, Nurse Courage.

You should know the truth.” Her plan was simple, leave the envelope at Nurse Courage’s station so she would see it when she returned.

But there was a problem.

‘What if someone else got to it first?’ She would have to wait for the perfect moment, when Nurse Courage was away, to place it there undisturbed.

With her heart pounding, she slipped out of her room and made her way to the station.

As she peeked around the corner, she spotted Nurse Courage sitting at her desk, looking lost in thought.

Her eyes flickered toward the clock.

“Thirty minutes left on my shift…” Nnenna pressed herself against the wall, blending into the shadows of the hallway.
