Chapter 61

The following weekend, I didn't go to work at the restaurant. Thanks to Lyla's cousin, the restaurant compensated me, and I quickly located Leah in the surveillance footage.

A little later, Lyla ran over to me with her phone. "Look, Eve," she said.

I took the phone from her and scrolled through the file about the tat man. As I did, Lyla explained, "Ryan mentioned that this guy isn't from Napel and doesn't come from any wealthy family. He thinks the man probably snuck into the restaurant from somewhere else." Everything finally made sense. Why had I seen Leah at the restaurant? And why would such a high-end establishment ignore an employee being harassed instead of stopping it immediately?

Lvlasat down beside me and placed her hand on my arm. "Eve, I feel like we've had a run of bad luck lately. Maybe we should go to the church and get a blessing from the pastor." I looked at her and smiled. "That sounds good."

Lyla was someone who always acted on a whim. As soon as I agreed, she immediately said, "Let's go."

She took me to the church, where we received blessings.

That night, I drove her to the airport. At the airport, she hugged me tightly and was reluctant to let go,

"Eve, If anything happens while you're here alone, promise me you'll tell me."

Inodded, and she added me to Ryan's WhatsApp right in front of me before finally leaving.

The airport always felt a bit lonely late at night, but as I watched Lyla look back at me every few steps, a warm feeling filled my heart. There were still people in this world who cared about me.

I had lost her by accident in my past life, but I wouldn't let that happen agains

I had class the next day, so I arrived at school early. Since I hadn't been back to the dorm for a few days, Brenda and Sharon casually asked where 1 had been.

I gave them a brief explanation, and they told me to hurry up and get ready for class before leaving themselves. Lillian was the only one in the room, sitting at her desk and applying lipstick in the mirror. She sneered, "Oh, so you were with a friend, huh? Who knows what shady business you were really up to?"

Tignored her. Some people were so quick to judge.

Sharon, our dorm head, frowned and said to Lallian, "Lillian, enough. Stop causing trouble. Evelyn's being very generous by not arguing with you. Don't confuse her kindness with weakness"

Brenda stood up from her seat, clutching her books, and said, "Exactly!"

As I stepped out of the bathroom, they both beckoned me to follow them. Inodded, glanced at Lillian's disdainful expression, and left with them.

Later, I consulted a lawyer about my part-time job at the restaurant. He said that even if my suspicions were valid, the case would probably end with me being accused of causing trouble. Besides, I didn't have any direct evidence, sot eventually dropped the matter. The next few days were peaceful Ethan, Liam, and Leah seemed to have vanished from my world

ccasionally, I'd hear rumors on campes about how Ethan and Leah were a perfect match, about how he was such a good boyfriend, and about how they were always showing off their affection.

However, I wasn't interested in their lives. As long as I didn't have to see them, I could focus on my own things. Even the deepest feelings in my heart seemed to tade with imme
