Under the heiress facade

Chapter 303

With 15 minutes left, Hera slipped back into class just before the morning exam ended.

She breezed through the remaining questions, finishing the test in a mere ten minutes right as the dismissal bell rang

“Boss, where’d you disappear to? You cut it close! Even though you’re a genius and these exams are a breeze for you, have some mercy on us ordinary folks, alright? You don’t have to show off quite so much,” Katie grumbled playfully. She slung her backpack over her shoulder and turned around.

Hera reached into her drawer and pulled out a small gift box

She offered it to Katie. “I left to snag this for you.”

Katie’s eyes sparkled as she eagerly unwrapped the package, revealing a delicate pink crystal bracelet.

“Boss, did you really get this especially for me? I love it so much!”

Seeing Katie’s genuine joy, Hera couldn’t admit the truth. She had spotted the bracelet displayed in a boutique window on her way back and bought it on a

whim.

Katie slipped on the bracelet, snapping a few photos to share on social media. “Thanks, boss! My treat for coffee? I made plans to meet Cindy and Christopher at the food street.”

The mention of the food street piqued Hera’s interest. With the semester almost over, she hadn’t even had a chance to visit.
