Chapter 389
Kaylee nodded, following Wendy to the back to arrange the flowers.
Not too far away, a senior in a red student council uniform watched Wendy and Kaylee chatting with a tinge of jealousy. She had been in the council for a year and had never seen Wendy being so friendly with her.
...
6 PM.
Everything was just about ready, just waiting for everyone to arrive.
"Hey, did you hear? Rafael got to the school through a secret passage and is now in Mr. Garcia's office!"
"Does that mean we'll see Rafael soon?"
Kaylee was arranging flowers when she heard Rafael's name, and her hands paused for a moment. Even though she had met Rafael several times in private and even had dinner with him, her heart still raced as a fan.
"Kaylee, quick, give me a hand with this!" A girl in a red staff vest came in carrying a huge box and asked Kaylee to help. "What are you daydreaming about?"
"Oh, right! Coming!"
Kaylee snapped back to reality and hurried to help, but the girl let go before Kaylee was ready. Startled, she managed to catch the box, but it was too heavy, causing her to stumble backward. She stepped on the flowers she had just arranged.
"Kaylee!"
A senior's angry voice boomed from behind: "What's wrong with you? You can't even handle a simple task!"
Kaylee placed the box on the ground, ignoring her sore hands, and quickly turned around, her face paling at the sight of the crushed flowers.
"I didn't mean to..."
The senior stormed over and shoved her hard: "Those were for Rafael! The event is about to start, now what?"
The senior kept scolding her.
Flora and her friends came back from getting their makeup done and saw the scene unfold.
Flora's eyes turned icy as she rushed forward and grabbed the senior's hand that had pushed Kaylee.
Her grip was strong, making the senior feel as if her wrist was about to snap.
"Let go of me! Let go!" The senior's lips quivered in pain.
"Try pushing her again and see what happens."
Flora didn't let go, her gaze growing even colder.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
She knew people in the student council had been picking on Kaylee. Kaylee might be gentle, but Flora sure wasn't. "Flora, it's okay..."
Kaylee gently tugged at Flora's sleeve and whispered.
Flora's icy gaze fell on the senior: "Apologize to her."
Wendy, who had been outside making a phone call, heard the commotion and rushed in.
Seeing Kaylee's red eyes and Flora's angry face, Wendy quickly pieced together what had happened.
"Wendy, make her let go! Please!" The senior cried out, seeing Wendy as her lifeline.
Flora looked pretty intimidating, making Wendy swallow hard before saying, "Flora, please, for my sake, let her go..."
Flora ignored her.
But Wendy wasn't surprised.
Even though she was the vice president of the student council and well-liked, with juniors and seniors respecting her, this Flora... Didn't seem to care much for her.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please let me go!"
The pain in her wrist made the senior break down, feeling that if she didn't apologize, Flora might actually break her wrist.
The iciness in Flora's eyes finally faded a bit as she coldly released the senior's wrist.
