chapter 29

The whole day at the college, Lucy could barely pay any attention to the lectures. Eric's cruel words were hovering in her mind to no end.If it had been a person like Laura, then it wouldn't have bothered her, but somehow, she was terribly hurt to hear it from Eric.Molly elbowed her and whispered. "Still thinking about him?"Lucy fiddled with the pen. She bit her lip."It's strange, Yaya. I just met him yesterday. We hardly know each other, but his words already hurt me this much. I don't know... it's like he suddenly felt so different when he spoke that about Sis Luca. As if he felt nothing at all…"Molly sighed. "So, you are still mad at him.""Of course, I am. Sis Luca is everything for me. How can I forgive him? Even if he is Godly handsome, I will not let this slide.""He might have realized his mistake. I am sure he didn't say with any intention to hurt you.She pursed her lips.The rest of the day, she buried herself in books and assignments in the library. But her mind would always divert to Eric.Ughh why can't I not stop thinking about him?She slapped her cheeks."Focus, focus!"At five PM, she stretched her arms and checked the clock."It's only five. If I left now, I might meet him. I don't want to cross paths with Boss…" she mumbled.'What if she never returns?'Once again her heart hurt with pain and anger."I have a lot of work to do other than think about him!" She banged on the desk."Silence!" The librarian glared at her.She cleared her throat. "S-sorry."When Lucy checked the time again, she almost stumbled off her seat."It's eight already."It was already dark outside.Since final year students had their exams coming up soon, the college allowed for the library to stay open till late.She quickly packed her bag and left, running to catch the earliest bus possible to home. But forty minutes later, the bus broke down.The driver announced. "I apologize. This might take time to get running again. It's better if everyone gets down."Lucy's apartment was just a little bit of walking distance away, so she didn't mind."Ah I am so hungry…" her stomach grumbled.She stepped into her locality's only convenience store and bought some instant ramen packets.As she started walking back towards her apartment, she noticed that the street looked quite empty. A cold breeze brushed past her and she felt chilly."Brrr…" she shuddered. "Ah, it feels so lonely."*Tap Tap Tap*Lucy began to notice that she could hear someone walking behind her for quite some time. There was an unsettling feeling in her heart.
