Silas suddenly jumped up and exclaimed, “I knew it! Paul, looks like you’ve finally found yourself in this mess.” He paused and asked, “Is it because of Miranda?”

Paul immediately looked up. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Don’t try to hide it from me. You might be able to fool everyone else, but not someone who’s with you all the time like I am,” Silas said.

Paul’s gaze turned sharp. “Don’t joke like that. I’m a man, and I couldn’t care less about gossip, but Miranda’s different. Women always get the raw end of the deal. Keep your mouth shut about this. She still has to graduate.”

“Look at you! Already defending her and still won’t admit it?” Silas sighed. “Don’t worry, I know where to draw the line. I’m not about to mess with her reputation.”

Paul breathed a sigh of relief. “Good. As long as you understand.”
