Chapter 441: How Can You Be So Calm?

“Something big is definitely happening.”

But Nnenna didn’t move. She stayed for a while more, then packed her bag and left with the same calm stride she had walked in with.

Outside, a black car was waiting at the gate.

Ava sat inside, anxiously peeking out the window.

Ava sat in the back seat of the sleek black car, nervously tapping her fingers against her knee.

Ugh, where is she?

Her eyes darted toward the academy gate again.

She didn’t dare leave Nnenna alone today. Not after what Carl said. Not after Arthur’s lecture either.

Seriously, she groaned inwardly, I mess up one time and suddenly I’m public enemy number one in the ‘Protect Nnenna at All Costs’ club.

She shifted uncomfortably in her seat.

Carl’s voice from earlier still echoed in her head, sharp, cold, disappointed. She had never seen him like that.

And Arthur? He didn’t raise his voice, but somehow that made it worse. The way he looked at her, like she had failed a mission of national importance…

Nope. Not doing that again.

I’m not even the one who caused all this! And now I’m stuck playing the bodyguard role while Miss Mystery Girl walks through drama like it’s a runway. Ava huffed.

Why wasn’t Nnenna here yet? Ava glanced at the time again, then peered out the car window, frowning slightly.

But it wasn’t just today. For the past one month, she had noticed something odd, Nnenna never walked with her to the car.
