Chapter 308 - Entering the Competition (5) - Evans POV (2/2)

This explained the separation between the contestants in their school. There were a few people from their school that did join us for dinner. Rika must have been part of the group with a large amount of influence. A few months ago, she visited our house to soon leave to stay in Luke's villa. You could tell that Luke came from a wealthy family to how he talked to every one of his actions.

I walked to the location of the outdoor event with my friends. However, Rika was nowhere to be seen. The organizer waited to start the event and eagerly greeted them when they arrived a bit late. She looked tired like she had just woken from a light nap.

”Evan!” She ran towards me while clinging to her friend's arm.

”It's a pleasure to be able to meet you again,” Luke followed her.

”We noticed you were a bit busy when we tried to visit,” I mentioned.

”We had to replace all the furniture to make that room livable,” Rika explained.

”I can't believe the rooms weren't properly cleaned. We had to make a complaint to switch the location outdoors,” she frowned.

I continued to smile, ignoring the fact that we had also visited the previous location of this session and felt that the organizers worked hard to make everything perfect this year. I didn't know that my sister was the source of most of the complaints. She also ranted about how bad the food was when we were almost drooling over their untouched plates.

”We didn't know how poorly the competition was planned this year,” my friend commented when he felt it was better than last year.

”I'm sure the organizers tried their best,” Alex seemed to have the same opinions as Rika.

I only knew his name since he tried to take Rika back to school before I transferred schools. It was strange how Rika introduced me as her cousin-in-law. This was why I remembered him. The four of them appeared to be close to each other, sometimes whispering among themselves.

”You can come visit our rooms after this event!” Rika offered.

My friends appeared eager to visit, wondering how their rooms looked like after the big changes. This was why after the event, we followed them to their door. When Alex opened the door, I realized the rumors that the senior told me about were true.
