Chapter 52: Do we know each other?

Near the cafeteria, Elizabeth spotted Natalie.

''Sorry I could accompany you before. Today is my first day and I can't find a chance to sneak away. Also, the student here is quite clingy."

Elizabeth knew after knowing Nattie's identity many girls must be trying to get close to her to seize the benefits. well, it's a disadvantage of being from a wealthy family.

"Just let it be" Elizabeth just shrugged her shoulders.

"Okay! let's go I am hungry"

"Hmm, alright!"

Both of them got seated near the window, Natalie was telling Elizabeth her abroad experiences. That was quite fun. Just then she caught sight of a familiar figure moving towards them.

"Nattie, later whatever happens just play along," Elizabeth told Natalie calmly.

Natalie was processing Elizabeth's words. when a pitiful voice sounded, "Eliza."

"What's wrong Lucy?" Elizabeth voiced out with a confused look.

"What were you talking about before? I know about Brother Kevin and you, but why did you say that earlier. You know Brother Kevin misunderstood me, he scolded me to not think anything improper. You know I only wish you happiness and had no thought of Kevin. So why?" She sounded aggrieved and pitiful like she is wronged.

Natalie was confused with Lucy's words and shot a questioning glance at Elizabeth.

"But I haven't misunderstood Lucy. Previously at the grandfather banquet, I saw you and Kevin together. He was carrying you home. Also tomorrow I saw both of you outside a restaurant. So I thought you two are close." Elizabeth replied innocently blinking her eyes.

"What! I..." Lucy was stunned she didn't think that Elizabeth will see them. But the next moment she subdues her emotions.

"Eliza that's not what you think. It's all a misunderstanding. Brother Kevin was just helping me because he knows we are close friends and you will be worried if anything happens to me." Lucy's ability to react was fast and made up a lie in the next moment.

Elizabeth was impressed by her wicked mind. She didn't pursue this matter further she knows it will be not fruitful to argue with her about this matter.

"Well... I understand.'' Elizabeth shows an understanding of attitude.

Lucy's nervous heart calm down after hearing Elizabeth.

"oh! Eliza, you should always confirm with me if anything like this happens, otherwise, it will only be a misunderstanding. There must be persons who want to break our friendship. You know me all these years. I only wish for your happiness." Lucy said with a sincere tone.

"I know Lucy, you treat me best." Elizabeth's tone was light as she believed what was said.

Next, a shrill ringtone broke, Lucy glanced at her phone. The caller I'd showed the name of Kevin he must be anxious as to why Elizabeth said that earlier.

Lucy excuses herself and goes to meet Kevin. Looking at Lucy's back Elizabeth sneered.

"So what's this?" Natalie asked after Lucy left.

"Nothing just a witch who was controlling me earlier. You must have heard of my rumor before it was all thanks to her and my stupid brain which believed her." Elizabeth said disgustingly.

"Oh, so that's how's it. And what about that Kevin?"

Natalie wanted to know did her best friend already had a boyfriend. If yes, what would happen to her brother?

Elizabeth knew Nattie's thoughts and clear the mess in her mind. "He was just a person who is trying to seek benefits through me. He thought he was charming enough to fool me." Elizabeth said sarcastically.

Natalie understands it was a competitor of her brother she had to warn her brother. A person who can affect Eliza's mood isn't just someone.

Elizabeth is a gem. Brother has to capture her heart before others can. Elizabeth wasn't in the mood to attend further classes and ask Natalie to roam around, which Natalie was happy to do. She is also bored with lectures from the morning.

Coming out of the gate Elizabeth spotted a familiar figure. "Mr. Miller?"

Elijah turned around immediately and looked at Elizabeth from head to toe. He had never used his real surname before, but she called him Mr. Miller. Could it be that the two of them had come into contact before and he had forgotten?

But as far as he knew she was a big miss and they haven't had any contact.

Elijah stopped her probing. His brows slightly knit together as he asked with some doubt, "This student, were you calling me earlier?"

"Yes, may I ask if you are Elijah Miller?" Elizabeth felt a little apprehensive. No wonder this man could turn an endangered company into a prodigy within one year.

It seemed like he had already prepared everything beforehand. With regards to that company, perhaps he had already planned to buy it. It was just a matter of time.

Also, when he took over the company, he said that he had just stepped into the business world, but he turned the business market upside down in a year. It's still early for his arrival.

Furthermore, Elizabeth had met this man at college with a carefree attitude. This was sufficient to prove that this man was well-prepared for that company.

Elijah sized up Elizabeth once again, but he had never seen this woman before. He then nodded and said, "Student, do we know each other?"
