Chapter 1641

Garrett’s phone buzzed unexpectedly as he was mid-sentence. He immediately picked up. “Zavier, I’m at school.”

Skyler couldn’t hear what Zavier was saying on the other end, but she heard Garrett reply, “Why would it be strange for me to be at school today? I’m just checking up on that cute girl who applied to be a tutor at my place a few days ago.”

Garrett paused for a moment before adding, “Funny thing is, she happens to be our underclassman. I figured I’d swing by early to see if she needs any help with anything.”
