Chapter 127 - 126: Second Evaluation (1/2)

Gizel quickly shook her head, ”No please, feel free.” She said. Might as well do some bootlicking, this is the future king of Windsor they're talking to.

Milly gave a tentative smile. Despite everything, she still liked Charlton better.

”Why are you here?” Serena asked smiling back at him amiably.

Geoffrey shook his head, ”I wanted to find you. We will have our evaluation later so perhaps we can discuss a little before that.”

Serena nodded. ”Have you had lunch? We just finished.” She asked seeing that it was just a quarter pass noon. They were dismissed early in swimming class.

Truthfully, Geoffrey haven't had his lunch yet, however, he nodded his head. He did not want to eat with them all staring at him.

Feeling that they were not needed, Gizel quickly stood up. ”That reminds me, I also have to look for my partner later to discuss things. Milly can you please help me look for him?”

Milly knew what her friend was up to. Not wanting to stay as the third wheel, she nodded her head and stood up. ”See you later Serena, uhm… bye Prince Geoffrey.”

Then the two walked away quickly.

”I did tell them to just call me Geoffrey, right?”

Serena just gave an embarrassed smile. She did not want her friends to leave, but they already did, so she can just sit there with Geoffrey. ”They still find it strange that you're talking to them now.”

”Am I too intimidating? I did smile earlier.”

”Maybe. Anyway, what did you want to talk about?”

”Ah…” in actuality, he did not come to talk about their evaluation later. He just wanted to spend some time with her outside their required activities.

Serena was not stupid. This time, she understood what he was doing. She wanted to tell him that she does not see him that way, but how could she reject him when he was not even asking? Also, what for? They were engaged. ”I think you should not be nervous later. Don't pull me down.” She joked.

Geoffrey laughed. ”Yes, that. Anyway, I haven't asked before, but which club did you choose in the morning?”

”Swimming. How about you?” she asked just for the sake of asking. She knew from the start but did not want him to think that she was stalking him or was interested. She just knew it from the novel.

Geoffrey was struck speechless. She was part of swimming club? Were those boys from fencing club feasting on her with their eyes all this time?

Serena saw his look. ”What? You want to say something about it?”

Geoffrey shook his head not wanting her to start hating on him again. ”No, why did you choose that? By the way I'm taking polo.”

Serena wanted to just tell him the truth but decided otherwise. ”I just like it because it's a necessary skill for survival. Just in case. It's also good for exercise.”

”Polo is too. How about you take it next year?” the words, with me, were at the tip of his tongue.

”I don't know how to ride a running horse.”

”I can teach you.”

Serena shook her head, ”Honestly, I just don't like it. I don't like riding, and I don't like the smell of horses.” Serena explained.

”Oh.” He replied with a saddened expression, then there was a bit of awkward silence.
