CHAPTER 31: An Unexpected Twist

Evelyn’s POV

Bradley's eyes bore into me as I approached the dormitory steps with Sebastian. The weight of it sent a shiver down my spine, my entire body was on high alert. The dormitory grounds were empty; I guessed most students were already in class.

Bradley eventually started walking toward us, and I instinctively stepped closer to Sebastian, letting his presence shield me.

Sebastian's voice was low, almost a growl, as he spoke. "Ah, Bradley Summers. Might I ask what the esteemed Heir of the Summers family is doing this close to the female dorms?"

But Bradley wasn’t deterred. He stopped a few feet away, his expression calm. "I could ask you the same thing, professor." He nodded toward me. "And with a female student, no less."

I could feel Sebastian tense beside me. Bradley continued, "Since it would seem we're both out of place, I shall state my business.” He turned to me. "Evelyn, please, I would like to speak with you."
