The following weekend, I didn''t go to work at the restaurant. Thanks to L''s cousin, the restaurantpensated me, and I quickly located Leah in the surveince footage.


    A littleter, L ran over to me with her phone. "Look, Eve," she said.


    I took the phone from her and scrolled through the file about the tat man. As I did, L exined, "Ryan mentioned that this guy isn''t from Napel and doesn''te from any wealthy family. He thinks the man probably snuck into the restaurant from somewhere else." Everything finally made sense. Why had I seen Leah at the restaurant? And why would such a high-end establishment ignore an employee being harassed instead of stopping it immediately?


    Lsat down beside me and ced her hand on my arm. "Eve, I feel like we''ve had a run of bad lucktely. Maybe we should go to the church and get a blessing from the pastor." I looked at her and smiled. "That sounds good."


    L was someone who always acted on a whim. As soon as I agreed, she immediately said, "Let''s go."


    She took me to the church, where we received blessings.


    That night, I drove her to the airport. At the airport, she hugged me tightly and was reluctant to let go,


    "Eve, If anything happens while you''re here alone, promise me you''ll tell me."


    Inodded, and she added me to Ryan''s WhatsApp right in front of me before finally leaving.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    The airport always felt a bit lonelyte at night, but as I watched L look back at me every few steps, a warm feeling filled my heart. There were still people in this world who cared about me.

    I had ss the next day, so I arrived at school early. Since I hadn''t been back to the dorm for a few days, Brenda and Sharon casually asked where 1 had been.


    I gave them a brief exnation, and they told me to hurry up and get ready for ss before leaving themselves. Lillian was the only one in the room, sitting at her desk and applying lipstick in the mirror. She sneered, "Oh, so you were with a friend, huh? Who knows what shady business you were really up to?"


    Tignored her. Some people were so quick to judge.


    Sharon, our dorm head, frowned and said to Lallian, "Lillian, enough. Stop causing trouble. Evelyn''s being very generous by not arguing with you. Don''t confuse her kindness with weakness"


    Brenda stood up from her seat, clutching her books, and said, "Exactly!"


    As I stepped out of the bathroom, they both beckoned me to follow them. Inodded, nced at Lillian''s disdainful expression, and left with them.


    Later, I consulted awyer about my part-time job at the restaurant. He said that even if my suspicions were valid, the case would probably end with me being used of causing trouble. Besides, I didn''t have any direct evidence, sot eventually dropped the matter. The next few days were peaceful Ethan, Liam, and Leah seemed to have vanished from my world


    However, I wasn''t interested in their lives. As long as I didn''t have to see them, I could focus on my own things. Even the deepest feelings in my heart seemed to tade with imme
