Chapter 269 - Boy in Love (6) (2/2)

”We're glad you were able to make it to our event,” Claire walked around the topic.

���I'm shocked. I didn't think you would be carrying out your duties so soon,” Alice came up to us with Ben.

”It was a recent development,” Luke brightly smiled.

”It's more of a surprise that Haruka let you join his fraction,” Lucius also walked towards us with Belle.

”As you know, I was already close to the members in Haruka's fraction since the beginning of elementary school,” I answered.

”I'm curious how you got so close,” Belle placed her hands together.

Haruka stiffened as he recalled me collecting bugs with Ethan. He also recently found out that Oili possessed half of the karaoke goods when he placed it inside that room, meaning he was a part of it all this time. Plus, Charles acted too friendly with us even though we were on the opposite ends of the political spectrum. Although he didn't know the secret that banded us together, he guessed it was similar to the other events.

”I'm sure it's similar to how our members joined the neutral fraction,” Haruka attempted to change the target.

”Well, we don't necessarily have conflicting interests,” Ben coughed to show they were in the middle in that same spectrum.

”It's the same for us as well,” Haruka chose to remain ignorant.

”In fact, I heard what happened at one of your fraction's events today from one of our members. I hope you are not injured,” Haruka seemed genuinely concerned for me.

”I am thankful that the guests were able to evacuate before anyone had to experience the same thing I did,” I hid my grudge against both Yulee and Jules.

”In fact, we decided to cancel hosting on Tuesday and Wednesday,” I revealed.

The eyes of both Lucius and Belle widened from the news. I was likely that Jules didn't tell them yet. Everyone else in the conversation appeared shocked from the news as well, including Claire and Yulian. The other fraction leaders who overheard the news instantly started to mumble what could've been the problem.

I guessed this was the reason why Yulee was so hesitant in cancelling the event. It was an extremely big deal to cancel an event during social week. Luke brightly smiled as he chose to continue from where I left off, ”we placed our trust in you and Belle that you would be able to carry us forward.”
