29 Chapter 27 (1/2)

Tap

Tap

Evangeline continued to tap her stylish nails against her desk while looking out at the window, ignoring everyone's frowns and glares even ignoring the teacher's warning for her to stop tapping her nails.

But then the teacher gave up when she warned for the tenth time, and still, Evangeline ignored her.

Though Evangeline appeared bored and indifferent, her brain, however, was in jumbled, formulating reasons as to why Eric was absent today.

Could he have gotten sick?

Evangeline clicked her tongue at the thought. If only she had Eric's phone number. But the guy didn't even have a phone!

Speaking of phone, she glanced at hers and saw Daniel's name appeared, she automatically deleted the message without even opening it. Not one bit interested from the man who betrayed her trust.

Evangeline sighed as her fingers tapped impatiently. Couldn't wait for the morning cla.s.s to end.

BZT!

Evangeline brows slightly twitched when her phone vibrated once more and saw Daniel's name. She deleted it yet again and then turned off her phone.

She didn't want to admit that she still felt p.i.s.sed from what Daniel did to her. She did, after all, gave him some level of trust, and she was still a human who felt hurt no matter how good she masked it with indifference.

Daniel felt annoyed, watching Evangeline who didn't even read his messages.

Forget it. If she doesn't want my apology, then I won't give it to her.

Daniel slumped her back on the leather chair as he mumbled to himself that he wouldn't give a d.a.m.n about Evangeline's business anymore.

As far as he was concerned, the moment that Evangeline didn't as much as read his message, they were finally – over.

DIINNGG!

At the first ring of the bell, Evangeline immediately stood up and flung her designer bag on her shoulder as she walked towards the teacher.

”Teacher.”

At Evangeline's voice calling for the teacher, everyone was stunned that some even stopped when they were about to went out of the room. Even the teacher was at a loss.

Seconds went by and the teacher finally reacted, arranging her gla.s.ses on the bridge of her nose.

”What is it.” The teacher couldn't help but feel guarded, thinking of what might Evangeline wanted with her. This was the first time that the girl called for her.

”Eric is absent today, I want to give him a copy of today's lesson, personally. Mind if you give me his address?”

…..

…..

The onlookers were momentarily dazed as they couldn't believe their ears.

E-Evangeline…

T-the Evangeline Heart… was asking for Eric Phelps…? The school nerd. The most irrelevant character?

Even the teacher was in a dazed until Evangeline raised her brow and flashed her famous fake smile.

”Well…?”

The teacher absentmindedly pulled her record book and flipped it to Eric's information, didn't register the reason why the woman was asking about it now when there was still a cla.s.s in the afternoon.

Evangeline didn't waste any more time. She didn't even ask for the teacher's permission before she flashed her phone and snapped her camera to take a picture at Eric's private information.

Then she beamed that didn't reach her eyes and sashayed out of the room.

The moment that Evangeline was gone, the room burst into an uproar.

And poor Eric, he was drowned at the center of it all.

----?----

BlackPine Country

Inside the Cole's secluded mansion.

”Why are you still so stubborn and prideful?! Isn't it enough that Aunt Emerald died? Now you wanted for Evangeline to suffer as well?”
