Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate

Chapter 287: Joybringer Is Back Online

Hayley’s POV:

Henry relentlessly knocked on my door. “Boss, wake up! The final grades are out!”

I wanted to shove a pillow over my ears, but after a few moments, I couldn’t take it anymore. I quickly sat up in bed. Trying to look somewhat awake, I opened the door. “Can you stop making this much noise in the early morning?”

Henry, noticing how groggy I was, smiled and said, “Boss, it’s almost noon. You should’ve had enough sleep by now.”

His words snapped me awake. “What? It’s almost noon?”

Henry nodded, and only then did I realize how late it was. I quickly turned around and slammed the door shut, leaving him standing outside.

After a few minutes, I heard Henry’s voice through the door. “Boss, hurry up. I’m waiting for you downstairs.”

I glanced at the clock. It was already 11:00 am. Hurriedly, I got ready and hurried downstairs. Grandma and Grandpa were sitting in the living room, reading the paper.

I quickly ran over and wrapped my arm around Grandma. “Good morning, Grandma!”

She put down the paper and replied, “It’s not morning anymore. It’s already noon.”

I stuck out my tongue, feeling a little embarrassed. “Haha, I overslept.”

“Go eat something,” she said. “It’s bad for your stomach to skip breakfast.”

I nodded quickly and made my way to the kitchen. “I know, Grandma. I’m going now.”

“Boss, check your emails. The exam results are out, and the President’s List has been announced,” Henry said, practically bouncing with excitement.

Seeing how excited he was, I figured he must’ve done well. “How did you do?”

Henry proudly held up three fingers. “Third in the class! And I made it onto the President’s List again.”

I smiled. “That’s great. You’ve made a lot of progress.”

Henry immediately leaned in closer. “So, about that game you promised me. Does tonight work?”

I nodded. “Sure, let’s do it tonight.”

Henry’s face lit up with joy. “Great! I’ll invite KK and the others. We’ll all team up and play together.”

“Sounds good!”

Chapter 287: Joybringer Is Back Online (Continued)

After dinner, I went back to my room and curled up on the couch with my phone. Then, a message popped up from KK in our group chat.

KK asked, “What time are we starting?”

Henry replied, “Soon, just waiting for me.”

I wrote, “Let me know when you’re online.”

Henry answered, “Okay-dokey.”

After checking the messages, I left the group chat and scrolled through Instagram. Less than half an hour later, Henry was online.

“Boss, hurry up and log in. Let’s start the game.”

I typed back and opened the game page. This time, I logged into my main account, and as soon as I did, I was flooded with private messages.

I frowned and opened one. It was from players I had met the last time I logged in. Most of them were asking when I’d return to the game.

Meanwhile, the group chat went crazy. KK wrote, “Oh my god, guess what I just saw? When I logged in, I saw that Joybringer is online!”

Henry chimed in, “I saw that too! It’s so rare for Joybringer to be online. This is huge!”

KK typed, “If only we could play a match with Joybringer, that would be a dream come true!”

Henry agreed, “I wish, but Joybringer usually doesn’t play with regular players like us.”

Just as Henry’s message appeared, the game screen flashed a new notification: ‘Joybringer has invited you to join a game.’

Henry’s hand trembled. He thought he was seeing things and instinctively rubbed his eyes.
