Chapter 146: Distracted Kate
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
I was so sick of her hypocrisy.
I didn’t feel like killing her like before, but I definitely wouldn’t want to be friends with her.
Fortunately, Joanna lived far away from Michael and my room. There was nothing special, and she had no reason to co to our place. I didn’t have to see her annoying smiling face all the ti.
“What are you doing?” Joanna held a glass of juice and sat naturally next to Kate and . She always acted like a hostess in this house.
Kate and I put our notebooks on the table, with our printed handouts and notes next to them.
Any average person could see what we were doing at a glance, but Joanna insisted on asking. It was an unnecessary and la way to break the ice. There was also a subtle arrogance in her tone, like a teacher greeting her students.
I sighed internally and reluctantly replied, “We’re doing our howork.”
Joanna smiled and took a stack of paper from Kate’s hand. “You don’t mind if I take a look, do you?”
I rolled my eyes. Of course, Kate wouldn’t mind. She was completely in a trance. I suspected that not only did Kate not hear what Joanna was saying, she didn’t even notice that Joanna had co over.
This was the reason why Joanna chose to take sothing from her. Joanna wouldn’t start with because she knew I would reject her. Her one-person show wouldn’t continue.
My unfriendliness toward her was obvious. Joanna must have felt it too. I didn’t understand why she would always co to to join in the fun under such circumstances. Wouldn’t it be better for us just to stay away from each other?
“What are your majors?” Joanna revealed a friendly smile. “Michael said that you encountered so difficulties in your studies. I have PhDs from many schools. Perhaps I can help you.”
“No, there’s no need,” I said stiffly.
Because Michael was busy with the kidnapping of the she-wolf, he didn’t stay at ho for long. But when he ca back, he spent most of his ti with . And Joanna, at tis like this, would try to co up with so excuse to be around us.
I even saw from the window a couple of tis that, within a dozen seconds of Michael getting out of the car, Joanna would go over and try to be alone with Michael and try to make so physical contact.
Unfortunately, Michael ignored so of her actions and kept his eyes on .
She probably just made that up. Michael couldn’t have told her about my studies. She only wanted to make angry, but I wasn’t as easily offended as I had been a week ago.
All she did was try to separate from my mate, but failure was the only outco that greeted her.
“I see you and your friend seem to be in so difficulties, and I’m happy to help.” Joanna pointed to a line of words and said, “Right here, you should...”
“I think I’m going back, Cecily,” Kate suddenly interrupted Joanna.
Kate started to tidy up the things on the table and took out the stack of printed materials from Joanna’s hands. Kate had never liked Joanna. She said that she felt that there was always sothing hidden under Joanna’s smile, and I had the sa opinion.
“It’s getting late. Let send you off,” I suggested.
I felt that Kate wasn’t in a good state. I was a little worried about letting her go back. On the other hand, I didn’t want to be alone in this space with Joanna.
“I’m fine. See you later.” Kate waved at . The corners of her mouth curled into a smile, but she was forcing it. I bet that the mont she turned her back on , the smile on her face would disappear and she would beco lost in thought.
I sat in my chair with so worry for my friend.
Kate’s condition after she left her mate really worried . I had been forced to leave my mate, but the pain of having my soul torn apart was still fresh in my mind; and Kate had left of her own volition, and she was suffering a different kind of inner tornt than I was.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Joanna sitting to one side, sipping her drink gracefully.
We were alone in the house now, with the housekeeper and the servants. Sasha had gone to school, Michael and Samuel had gone to save the she-wolf, and they wouldn’t be back until at least the evening.
I started packing my things and returned to my room to finish my howork.
The sun wasn’t as bright in my room as here, but I couldn’t focus on my howork when I looked at Joanna face to face.
Maybe I should ask Michael to help him investigate the missing she-wolf. It would give more ti with Michael and less ti with Joanna.
If I was not going to school, working with Michael was a good idea because I could learn a lot from him.
