Author's point of view... Mr. Lawrence walked out of the grand hall, his confidence radiating as he joined Ray Charles at the VIP section set up for spectators near the monitoring room. This hall was often used for conducting indoor game competitions or other cultural activities including proms, or sometimes even seminars. And so it was built in the middle of the school building so that anybody could see what was happening inside it from their respective floors. It was huge with a lot of space inside, enough to accommodate the entire school but today, other than Thea, only five of the invigilators who were there to supervise her were present. A desk was arranged in the middle of the hall with four different seats in four different directions. Thea was asked to sit on the seat in the middle whereas four of the supervisors were sitting on the other seats. One of them had to move around to keep an eye on her every move. That doesn't look like an examination hall at all. Instead

Author's point of view... Ray allowed himself a small chuckle, looking down as if the question amused him. There was no way he would show his panic before anyone. Wouldn't that make him look vulnerable? How could a rich businessman like him be panicked by just a mere assistant! Ray narrowed his eyes before explaining, though that smirk still tugged on his face. “My sister is a student here,” he said, glancing back up with a steady gaze that betrayed no fear. “I stopped by to check on her. Is that a crime, officer?” The official hesitated, shifting uncomfortably under Ray’s piercing stare. He couldn’t risk offending someone as influential as Ray Charles, especially without solid evidence. As a mere assistant, he had to bow down before breaking. “No, sir,” the official replied, his voice losing a bit of its edge. “But we need to conduct our investigation. I request you to wait outside.” Ray inclined his head slightly in acknowledgment and rose from his seat with deliberate

Author's point of view... Aaron and Mark searched the entire campus whereas Dave went straight to the CC TV room to check the footage. With his authority, no one stopped him from getting in. He checked all the footage available including the one from outside of the school yet there wasn't any sign of her. At last, the one in charge of the CCTV cameras opened the folder with the footage with the cameras near the restrooms. Dave's eyes lit up at the sight of Thea walking towards the restrooms in one of the footage. "So she indeed went to the restroom. That boy wasn't braging unnecessarily" He continued seeing the footage but even after a few more minutes, she didn't return. The position of the nearest camera was a few steps away from the bathroom as it was a rule to leave that space unsupervised because of the privacy of the students. Dave saw her walking in but she never walked out. "Is there any other way out of that place?" he asked the security personnel sittin

Author's point of view... In the classroom of Class A, Mark was so curious about the commotion outside. He wanted to see what exactly was happening but unfortunately the crowd outside was blocking his view. "Is this related to Thea?" He said to Aaron, who was standing next to him, frowning, still staring at the question paper that Mr. Yates had given to him. "This is insane...!" Aaron murmured to himself, completely ignoring the excited boy beside him. "Hey, Aaron!! Are you listening?" Mark smacked Aaron on his arm and continued, "If Lily really runs around school naked, it would be so bad both for her and for Thea." If this young girl from the respectable Charles family ran naked on the street, she would surely make the headlines in the news tomorrow. Then, all the disciplinary departments and educational institutions would come to the school to investigate. Lily's parents would be furious, and Thea would be blamed for everything. Everyone would turn against Thea

Author's point of view... "Ray...you lost your mind..." Lily shouted at her brother but Ray ignored her and glanced one last time at Thea before forcefully dragging Lily out of the cafeteria. Everyone was so confused. Britney couldn't take it any longer. She poked Thea and asked urgently. "Boss...what did you ask Mr. Charles for? Lily was so angry just now. She didn't come to apologize! Is there something else?" Thea laughed out louder. She snapped Britney's forehead as she said, "You are always so curious, aren't you?" Britney grinned sheepishly. "Hey, but this time, I am curious too," Mark interjected. "What was that all about?" he asked seriously, "I know Ray and he is definitely not a man to give in that easily! What did you do to him?" Thea smiled and took out her phone. "Check this out!" Everyone gathered around her and peeked at the phone screen. Thea played a video in which Lily and her minions were entering a room with buckets filled with water.
