Chapter 134

Jaylene gave her a thumbs up and said, “That was really cool.”

In the end, Alarieka’s name was put up on the grade bulletin board, and right next to it were three big words–First Place.

Now, everyone in Alarieka’s class, including the teachers, stood up straight and felt really proud.

Even those students who always came to Alarieka to mock her for being exiled and falling from grace couldn’t be seen anymore–they all just hid in their classrooms and didn’t dare come out.

When Alarieka was called over by the subject teacher, she didn’t think much about it, just knew the teacher spoke to her earnestly:

“Mr. Argent cared about you, so he sent the best teachers to teach you guys. Before, those teachers only took care of students with great grades, but now they had to take care of you too.”

“You got such a good grade, Mr. Argent must have been really pleased. Remember to go back and talk to Mr. Argent, ask him to transfer you back to your original class. Then you wouldn’t have had to be in the same class with this bunch of rabbles, and they wouldn’t have held you back.”

Alarieka lowered her eyelids and nodded, pretending to be obedient.

Did Kieran care about her?

He didn’t.

He wasn’t.

Don’t talk nonsense.

Before, Kieran wished he could just pack her up and send her abroad so she’d never come back.

I kept doing crazy things for Roschelle in this life, so how could I care about her.

She really didn’t want to talk about Kieran anymore. She nodded quickly and answered, “Got it. Teacher, is there anything else you want to say? If not, I’ll go now.”

Alarieka saw the teacher nod and turned around right away. The next moment, a huge dark shadow appeared in front of her, all black and heavy. Alarieka’s heart skipped a beat and she immediately took a few steps back.

The person wore a well–tailored, sharp black suit, looking noble and cold. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line, the corners slightly down, giving a serious but not mean look–at least, it was the kind of vibe that made people around keep their distance.

A pair of dark eyes showed a careless coldness, eyelids lowered, like he just casually glanced at Alarieka.

Alarieka’s breath caught.

It was Kieran.

She instinctively tried to walk around Kieran. Kieran suddenly raised his hand, grabbed her wrist, then quickly let go.

Kieran’s low voice reached her ear: “Stay.”

A careless but unquestionable tone.

Alarieka heard it and had a heart attack.

All the teachers in the office stood up, with flattering smiles on their faces: “Mr. Argent, you’re here.”

Kieran nodded slightly, put his hands in his pockets, and said in a calm voice, “Thanks for taking care of Alarieka during this time.”

The teacher smiled and said, “Of course, of course, Alarieka was a good student, we didn’t have to worry much, and look, she got first place in the grade on this monthly exam.”

Kieran said, “Not bad.”

Alarieka looked up at Kieran in surprise.

It was really hard to hear a not bad from Kieran.

Even Kieran’s subordinates hadn’t gotten much praise from Kieran.

Alarieka moved her fingers, and felt a weird feeling she couldn’t describe.

Kieran suddenly turned his head and looked at her.

Alarieka didn’t think about it anymore and walked out of the office, leaving Kieran’s “stay” behind.

Kieran’s deep voice came from behind: “Alarieka.”

Alarieka took bigger, faster steps.

After class at noon, Alarieka and Jaylene went to the cafeteria together with some others.

She thought Kieran had left early, but under the shadows of the trees, Kieran was sitting on a stone bench with his gold–rimmed glasses, looking down at his tablet. The blue light from the tablet shone on his glasses, making him look even colder.

Next to Kieran stood a special assistant, also dressed in a black suit, looking serious and proper.

These two really stood out in the lively, youthful campus, and almost all the students around noticed them.

Alarieka and the others saw it too.

The others all looked at Alarieka. Alarieka pressed her lips together, “Don’t mind them, let’s go.”

Alarieka slowly picked up her pace, planning to walk out of Kieran’s line of sight before Kieran noticed her.

But things didn’t go her way.

“Alarieka, come here.”

Alarieka shuddered, and most of the students around her gave her gossiping looks, making her feel really uncomfortable.

She didn’t turn her head and just kept walking forward.

The assistant appeared, held out his hand toward Kieran, and said, “Ms. Huston, please.”

Alarieka said with a blank face, “I want to eat!”
