chapter 111-You're amazing

"Karl."

Knock knock.

The sound of knocking on the door is heard.

Marilyn stands outside Karl's room, frowning at the faint noise coming from inside.

"Karl, we're going to Lucas' house for dinner tonight, okay?"

No response.

A cat meows by her feet as Marilyn runs her fingers through her hair and squats down, adjusting her dress.

A sound of an object hitting the ground comes from inside the room.

She raises an eyebrow and shifts her gaze.

Inside the room.

The desk is being bumped repeatedly, causing the books and pens on top to roll and fall to the ground.

One hand holds onto the edge of the desk tightly, knuckles turning white and fingertips pressing hard enough to turn red.

But it can't hold on any longer, and with a heavy crash, the hand slips and falls.

"Um..."

The syllable is quickly suppressed by biting her lip.

Cecilia frowns in discomfort, a blush spreading across her cheeks.
