Chapter 211 - Revenge 211: Belittling (1/2)
”Nathalia, why do you look so tired?” Anna spoke in a surprised tone. As she was making herself comfortable in her seat, she suddenly notices the look on Nathalia's face.
She had seen Nathalia's tired look many times before, but this time, Anna felt that it is different this time.
”Oh... I,” Nathalia does not dare to tell Anna the truth why she looks so tired. She is a shame to tell that she cried herself to sleep, and had a nightmare last night. ”I was up all night playing on my computer.”
Anna is slightly convinced by Nathalia's statement because she knows that apart from hacking into some other organization's system, Nathalia also likes to play a lot of online games. When Nathalia starts to play, it will take hours for her to stop playing.
Acting like she is convinced, Anna said, ”Nathalia, playing all night long will damage your health. I know you love playing, but you should limit the time you play.”
As Anna was scolding Nathalia, she is observing every reaction Nathalia makes. She saw that Nathalia released a relief expression; Anna slightly frowns at her, 'Why is she lying?'
Anna was about to ask what is going with her, but she was unable to because some loud students from behind were talking out loud
”Hey! I heard that the principal is planning to put a new event for the school.” (Girl 1)
”What kindle of an event is it?” (Girl 2) excitedly ask.
”I heard it was a Mr. King and Miss Queen pageant event, and every class has to choose a representative to compete for the event.” (Girl 1)
Nathalia and Anna heard their conversation; Anna has no interest in that pageant event because she already knows who will be their class representatives and who will win this event. However, Nathalia, on the other hand, saw this as a way for her to escape Anna's upcoming questions about her.
Nathalia is not dense, she knows that Anna noticed something in her behavior and that Anna is only waiting for the right time to question her. But she is not gonna let Anna have that chance.
”Anna, you heard that?” She excitedly said to Anna. ”If we're going to have that event, then you should our class presentative.” There are two reasons why Nathalia had said this; her first reason is that she wants to escape Anna's upcoming questions, and the second reason is that she thinks that Anna is the perfect person to represent their class. After all, Anna has the beauty and the brain, the chances of them winning are high.
”Me?” Anna pointed at her self, ”Are you kidding me? The chances of me getting picked to be our class representative are low.” There was a hint of ridiculousness in Anna's tone, and Nathalia frowned when she noticed that.
