Chapter 1653

There were some things, even when you saw them, you had to play blind. Otherwise, the fallout could be a real nightmare.

Zavier hopped into the car, slammed the door shut, and barked, “Drive.”

The chauffeur obeyed instantly, not daring to utter a single word. A stark contrast to his demeanor around Skyler.

As Zavier’s car pulled away, the guy who’d just opened the door for him remarked, “Garrett, you won’t believe what I just saw.” Garrett raised an eyebrow. “What did you see?”

The guy leaned in and whispered, “That knockout freshie who spoke at the opening ceremony with Zavier, was in the car!”

Garrett warned, “You’d better keep that to yourself. Don’t let it slip to a third ear.”e2

The guy nodded frantically. “Wouldn’t dream of it.”

Garrett added, “Good to know.”

The guy couldn’t help but muse, “I’m just curious, wasn’t Zavier Mr. No-Strings-Attached? How’d he get cozy with this year’s newbie so fast? Mayt finally found a dame that caught his eye, some Southern Port beauty.”

Garrett knew more than he could say, “Zip it! Let’s bounce!”

They quickly left the scene, and as they did, two girls emerged from a nearby spot.

The one in the lead was Desiree. Her gaze followed Zavier’s departing car, and her fists clenched so tightly at her sides that her nails were digging her palms without her even feeling the sting. “That little snake was lying to me!”

The girl trailing her, noticing Desiree’s twisted expression, ventured cautiously, “Desiree, want me to take care of that little bitch for you?”

Desiree bit her lip. “Just make sure it’s not traced back to us.”

The girl assured her, “You can count on me. No one will ever find out…”

“Desiree, hey!” Someone called from behind.

Desiree took a deep breath, turned around, and instantly, her face lit up with a warm smile, “Hey there, need something?”

It was Vivian, Skyler’s dorm mate, who was not as close to Skyler as the rest of them were. Desiree had been looking for a way to dig up dirt on Skyle and here was her chance on a silver platter.

Vivian shared, “Desiree, I’m a freshie, and I’ve heard so much about you, about how kind and helpful you are. I was hoping we could be friends?” Desiree asked, “What’s your name?”

Vivian replied, “I’m Vivian. Is it cool if I get your contact? I really, really admire you.”

Desiree whipped out her phone. “Sure!”

They exchanged details in no time.

Desiree beamed, “We’re friends now. If you ever need a hand with anything, just hit me up.”

Vivian gushed, “Thanks!”

The other girl whispered just loud enough, “You’re one of the good ones, always putting others first, even before your own troubles.” Desiree shot her a glare before smiling at Vivian. “I’m all good. Vivian, we were just about to grab some grub at the cafeteria. Wanna join?” Vivian was over the moon to be invited by her admired senior, “Yeah, sure, I was about to eat anyway.”
