Clearing her throat, Ella placed her hopes on Olivia. “I believe you can design something better After all,

than that d you won first in the competition. Miller Jewels is depending on you.”“

Olivia’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. Just because the Wish collection sold well didn’t mean Gina’s design was good. Gina was a computer science majo

After the meal, Neil left first so they could be alone.

Gabriel suggested, “Gina, let me drive you back.”

“Why are you calling me in that tone?” Gina found it intimate and was uncomfortable. She had crumbled under pressure just now but Gabriel was pushin

“What tone?” Gabriel lowered his

gaze.

Gabriel seemed sad again. Was his emotions so easily discernable? Gina wasn’t good at handling such situations. She spoke, “Forget it. Do whatever y

After getting in the car, Gina had Gabriel take her back to the same bus stop. When they reached, Gabriel asked, “Can you tell me your address?” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“No,” Gina replied.

Gabriel was somewhat hurt. But it didn’t matter. He was too anxious. Being too hasty might backfire. “Alright.” Gabriel asked, When will we meet again?”

“That depends,” Gina answered.

T’ll miss you. Gabriel looked unwilling to part from her.

David sighed silently. Who would have known Gabriel would be so clingy?

Gina’s face heated. Gabriel’s affectionate look jolted her too.

After parting ways, Gabriel sat in the car and watched Gina disappear, He opened his phone and looked at the photos of

Gina he had secretly taken just now. She looked cute, like a bunny.

Gabriel didn’t look up as he instructed David, ‘Drive.”

Mason swallowed in fear. “Gina, I’m not, I… I have something to tell you.”

“Talk.” Gina ordered.

Mason took out an invitation with trembling hands. “Miss Olivia told me to give it to you.”

Gina glanced at it. It was the invitation to the engagement party. She raised an eyebrow and smiled, recalling the taunting message Olivia sent her that day, urging her to attend. ‘Isn’t Mason Ethan’s lackey? Why is he listening to Olivia? But Mason’s name sounds.familiar, she thought.

Gina turned to see the smiling Aria. Aria spoke, “I haven’t seen you for days.” Aria knew Gina was a computer science major and had tried to find Gina several times, but did not see Gina aroun

“No. I’m checking out of the dormitory, Gina replied.

“Are you planning to rent a plate outside? Have you found one? Do you need help?” Aria offered warmly.

“No need. I’ve already found one,” Gina told her.

“Oh… Aria pursed her lips. “How about I accompany you to check out?” She already considered Cina as a friend.
