Chapter 103 Not A Trace Of Gentility

The next morning, Eileen had a restful night’s sleep after a dreamless night.

Before leaving, she made sure to lock her room to prevent anyone from entering.

After having breakfast, Eileen arrived at the classroom promptly at eight o’clock.

As soon as Yvette entered the classroom, she spotted Eileen.

“Eileen… why did you leave with Eric so early yesterday? As soon as I got home, my mom was furious. She gave me such a headache with her yelling and even set a curfew for me.”

Perhaps due to drinking too much the previous night, Yvette woke up early today with a severe headache. She hadn’t rested well, with dark circles under her eyes. She felt disoriented, her head spinning and throbbing.

Softly, Eileen replied, “Yesterday… I drank too much… I don’t know what happened, but before I left, my brother specifically instructed the staff to ensure you got home safely. Did anything happen on your way back?”

Yvette, feeling a bit dizzy, shook her head. “Nothing really happened, but how could he just leave me alone in the shop? That’s too much! He only cares about you, his sister, and doesn’t care about me at all! What if something had really happened to me? What then? He doesn’t have a shred of gentlemanly behavior.”

This was something Eileen hadn’t anticipated-that Eric would leave her alone at the

restaurant.

Eileen tried to defend him. “Eric… He… has always been like this, quite straightforward… He was focused on work, and it was already late. If Eric had sent you home alone, it would have caused gossip. As a single woman, if the media were to catch wind of this and make baseless speculations, it wouldn’t be good for your reputation.”

Yvette found her words reasonable and nodded. “That’s true. If that’s what he thinks, then so be it… But next time, when I see him, I will definitely not forgive him…”

The campus bell rang.

Yvette quickly returned to her seat.

The morning hours flew by quickly. The last class was extended by an additional forty-five minutes for an exam. By the time they finished, they only had fifteen minutes for lunch and one remaining hour.
