Eva was taken aback by her uninterested demeanor. She had expected Daisy to be thrilled, to inquire about the details eagerly.

Instead, Daisy’s reaction was unexpectedly’cool, leaving Eva puzzled by the subdued response.Unbeknownst to Eva, her daughter was already well–acquainted with the news of the school.

She decided that she would go to Xavier’s office right now.Her car glided into the driveway of the company, the engine purring to a halt. As Bella stepped out, the crisp air tousled her hair a little.She hesitated for a moment. Xavier told her not to come to his company, but she was here.Sucking a breath she walked on.Bella’s steps faltered on the pavement as she caught sight of a familiar silhouette emerging from the company’s entrance.
