Chapter 152

Olivia walked alongside Claude, murmuring, “Yeah, I have a lot of assignments, so I haven’t had the time to reply.”

Claude fell silent at her explanation, then glanced into the distance, saying, “Alright. I got a bit worried when you didn’t reply. That’s why I came to see Soof.

Though Olivia appeared calm on the outside, her thoughts were swirling in chaos.

After a while, they reached the gate, and Olivia’s phone began to ring. She didn’t notice, but Claude did and alerted her, “Your phone is ringing, Olivia.”

Hurriedly, Olivia took her phone out of her pocket, not bothering to check the caller before bringing it to her ear. Tyler’s voice came through, “Are you at the university?”

His question sent a jolt through Olivia, freezing her in place.

Claude noticed her reaction and observed her closely as she struggled with anxiety. Trying to play it cool, Olivia replied casually, “Yeah.”

“We might need to go to Harris Residence later. I’m outside the gates,” Tyler informed her.

Looking up, Olivia realized they were indeed at the gates, and Claude caught her odd expression, keeping his eyes on her.

When Olivia finally grasped the situation, she told the person on the line, “Okay, I’m coming right over.”

She quickly ended the call and turned to Claude, “Claude, I… I’ve got something to attend to, so I need to leave.”

Claude’s usually gentle expression furrowed with concern. He sensed something was off with Olivia, but he said, “Alright, sure, go ahead. I just wanted to see you.”

Olivia nodded, “Okay,” and hurried forward, clutching her phone tightly.

Tyler sat in the car parked outside the gates, exactly where Olivia and Claude had been walking. He must have seen them together.

Claude saw Tyler’s car too.

As Olivia got into the car beside Tyler, she greeted him, “Hi, Tyler.”

She thought he didn’t see Claude, but his eyes were on him.

When Tyler heard his name, he glanced away and then back at Olivia.

Curious, Olivia asked, “Why are we going to Harris Residence?” Since she hadn’t seen him that morning, she didn’t expect to see him now, but here he was, picking her up from school.

Tyler simply replied, “We’re just going to have a meal.”

There was a palpable tension between them, now that their dynamics had changed.

“Claude is here too?”

Olivia didn’t answer his question, but he didn’t repeat himself. Their car then drove away.
