“The Eldest Young Master Williams met Luacs for other reasons but this time, he came for you, Young Madam.” Levi smiled politely at Elena. “The Eldest Young Master Williams did not even finish his lunch, he chucked his chopstick and came right away.”
Levi shot a look at Michael. Seeing that Michael had gone far, Levi went closer to Elena and whispered to her ear, “I have been around with the Eldest Young Master Williams for many years but this is the first time I see him so anxious. He did this all for you, Young Madam.” “So, Young Madam, please understand that he cares a lot for you. Please don’t argue with him later when you are back at home.”
It was true that the Eldest Young Master Williams was extra patient and had a good temper in front of Elena. She really had no idea what were the consequences when the other people made the Eldest Young Master Williams mad. She… was indeed the special and lucky one.
“I’m going, little one.” Levi looked over at the Layla that was still hiding behind Elena, a grin formed on his face.
Shock rattled through Layla and her body shook uncontrollably. She immediately shrunk behind Elena with her head hanging down. She let out a breath when Levi caught up with Michael and the lift door shut behind them.
“You both…” Elena studied Layla’s face.
“There is nothing between us. Elena, please don’t misunderstand.” Layla denied it at once.
“Did I say that there was something between you two?” Blood rushed to Layla’s face. Seeing her in that anxious state, it was hard to believe that nothing happened. Layla bit her lips and remained silent.
There was nothing actually. Just that Levi, that bastard groped her and they both appeared… in that awkward position before Elena and the Eldest Young Master Williams… Oh God, even she herself thought it was hard to clear her name!
“Did you and him really…” When they arrived at the ground level, Elena shot another funny look at Layla.
Layla glowered at her. “No! I told you no! Don’t ever bring this up again!”
She vowed not to see that guy called Levi again. Could they just put the matter to rest?
“But your face is so red, I’m sure Caleb and Luacs would ask you later.”
“I… I was so worried about you. I panicked running crazily around and I’m still catching my breath. That’s why my face is still red.”
Layla was nervous, she held onto Elena’s arm and swung it lightly while she pleaded, “My dear Elena, can you stop talking about this? Don’t bring it up in front of Caleb and Luacs too.”
What an unlucky day!
Seeing Layla flushed deep red and panicking, Elena kept her cheeky look and nodded. “Ok, I won’t say anymore.”
Layla felt a sense of relief until she heard Elena saying, “Then again, Levi is really not bad. He is handsome and rich…”
Would the special assistant to the Eldest Young Master Williams be poor?
“Elena!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll stop now.” Sigh, not even a joke?”But, you really should consider him.”
“Gu…”
“We’re here. Are you gonna say some more?” Elena teased.
Layla had no choice but to zip up immediately because they had arrived at the boy’s room. When Caleb realized that Elena was with the Eldest Young Master Williams just now, he made a turn back into his room.
Caleb began the task of tidying up the messy room when they walked in. The disarray state of the room struck them in awe.
“They did this?” They flipped through Caleb and Luacs’s luggage, their clothes were strewn all over the floor! That was totally unnecessary! Real unreasonable!
“They will learn their lesson, don’t worry.” Luacs looked at Elena, concerned. “Are you alright?”
He knew that Elena would be alright with the Eldest Young Master Williams. He had faith in the capability of that man.
“This is too much! These clothes are all dirty.” Caleb gave up sorting the mess after a while.
He piled the clothes up on the chair, thinking of getting them washed up later before packing up.
“What did we do now?”
Layla exclaimed after browsing her phone, “Mia got exonerated!”
As for them, they were accused of being a floozy that went to hotels with boys! Though there were no photos as a shred of evidence that Elena was spotted in a hotel fooling around with another man, many said on the internet that they saw with their own eyes that she was seen entering the hotel with another man.
Mia had a good reputation and was also known as a beautiful lady. Them, on the other hand, being on the opposition side to Mia were portrayed as the antagonist in the gossip.
The whole issue was a brutal farce of public opinion. The cyberbullying was insufferably nasty though no clear evidence was presented on their wrongdoings. What made the matter worse was that they even accused the powerful man behind Elena of misusing his power to oppress the students.
None of the people were willing to admit that the man behind Elena was the Eldest Young Master Williams. Of course, who would approve of the ugly Elena in a relationship with the attractive Eldest Young Master Williams? They would rather imagine the man to be an addle-pated twit than accepting the fact.
“What nonsense!” But indeed, it was that damn nonsense that had affected Elena’s life at school.
“Don’t these people know who exactly Mia is?” Layla scowled as she scrolled through the comments online. “She was the one that had a reputation of promiscuity. These people were blinded by lies and could not discern the truth!”
Luacs threw Elena a weird look.
Sensing that something was not right with him, Layla asked, “Luacs, do you have anything to say?”
Luacs hesitated for a while before saying, “Those people last night were related to Mia.”
…
Elena was not sure what else would happen if she returned to the hostel so she went to Michael’s mansion instead. Coincidently, something came up in the branch office and Michael had left Bentson for a business trip.
Back at the mansion, Elena was relieved that she did not have to face Michael. Yet, she could not help but feel lonely looking at the huge hall. There were many servants and bodyguards around but those people did not interact much with her.
After a shower, she lay on her bed staring blankly at the curtains that blew in the wind, she felt emotional. Levi’s words were swimming in her head. He told her that after being the assistant to the Eldest Young Master Williams for years, he had never seen the Eldest Young Master Williams so anxious. It was all for her. He also told her that the Eldest Young Master actually cared for her very much…
She spent five years living together with the Eldest Young Master Williams in her previous life but she had never felt a touch of warmth in their relationship. She was sure that he hated her very much and kept his distance from her. Care for her? She must be dreaming!
Why did the Eldest Young Master Williams change so much in this life? She could no longer figure him out. She lay there, with the thought swirled around in her head, she found herself sleepless.
The next morning, not only that she had her usual freckled face, she too had two big dark circles around her eyes. She looked even more hideous than before.
When Elena arrived, Layla had been waiting for her at their usual meet up point. Then, they walked into the school together. As soon as they set foot into the school compound, they noticed the repulsive looks from their surrounding.
The only good thing was that those people only stared at them both with glaring hate and did not do anything else. Perhaps the consequence suffered by the thirty students a day ago was still fresh in their minds.
Coincidentally, there was a student exchange program between the Jiang University and Ning University and Mia was one of the exchange students from the Jiang University. Those two enemies were bound to meet up. What a narrow path!
