They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 88: She Wouldn’t Dare Chapter 88: She Wouldn’t Dare Panic flickered across his face, and without wasting another second, he marched back to her, gesturing frantically for her to get back inside her room.

“Quick!

Get inside,” he whispered harshly, his eyes darting toward the approaching servant.

Nnenna smirked but stepped back into her room, allowing him to follow.

He practically shoved her inside, slamming the door shut behind him.

For a moment, he stood there, his breath shallow as if he had just escaped a near disaster.

“What is it now?

Can’t you just handle this without making it complicated?” he said, exasperation dripping from his tone.

But there was something else in his voice, a hint of fear.

The thought of being discovered seemed to haunt him.

Nnenna tilted her head, amused by his clear discomfort.

“Well, Second Brother,” she started slowly, drawing out her words as an idea sparked in her mind.

Then, she paused, her lips curling into a sly smile.

This could be my chance, she realized.

Obinna bringing this to her was an unintentional gift, one she could use to her advantage.

If she played her cards right, this could be her opportunity to finally score a phone.

After all, Ikenna had promised her one but had not followed through, even after her discharge.

For all she knew, he might never get her one.

‘Who knows if I’ll even see him again,’ she thought, a brief flicker of sadness crossing her mind.

Clearing her throat, she straightened up and looked at Obinna.

“Actually, I can’t help you with this,” she said, her tone calculated, waiting to see his reaction.

Obinna’s eyebrows furrowed, and irritation flashed in his eyes.

“What do you mean you can’t?” Nnenna bit back a grin.
