Chapter 92 - Crossing Paths (3)

The moment our eyes met, her emerald gaze widened, reflecting nothing but sheer disbelief. It was as if the very sight of me had shaken her to her core, as though I was the last person she ever expected to see in this place. A sharp intake of breath hitched in her throat, her body tensing, frozen in place for a split second.

Then, without a word, she turned on her heel and walked away.

No hesitation. No explanation. Just a swift departure.

Her sudden retreat left the air heavy with unspoken emotions, and the other two were visibly confused.

"Uh, Leon…" Raymond muttered, his brows knitting together. "Did something happen between you and Professor Rose for her to act like that?"

"To be honest, I don't know," I replied, keeping my tone even.
