Chapter 28: “Professor” Petit
Only then did Gwenda recall that she had class.
"How troublesome.
I'm already in my senior year and I still have to go back to university to attend classes, even complete assignments from time to time." Gwenda thought in annoyance.
She wished that she could be in several places at once so that she did not need to be so busy all day long to the point of disorientation.
"Gwenda, come on."
Hattie kept urging her.
Sighing exasperatedly, Gwenda packed up her things in preparation to leave.
Before that, she instructed the other studio staff to follow up with Cecilia's upcoming work.
Upon leaving the studio, Gwenda drove to school with Hattie.
Along the way, Hattie kept reporting her works.
As Gwenda listened, she was also thinking of ways to skip the class after marking her attendance.
Around ten minutes later, she parked the car at the university's south building.
Upon getting out of the car, Gwenda was about to head to the classroom with Hattie when they ran into a group of people.
Right in the middle of them all was Gretchen, surrounded by a bunch of people as if she was a celebrity.
Gwenda's good mood evaporated in an instant.
What luck.
She did not think that she would be seeing her today after having not seen her for two months.
Not wanting to interact with her, Gwenda ignored her and continued her journey to the classrooms.
But Gretchen just did not want to let her off today. When she passed by her, she deliberately stopped and called out softly to her. "Sis."
Gwenda rolled her eyes and brushed past her.
Seeing this, Gretchen lowered her head sadly as if she had been wronged.
Seeing this, Gretchen's friends got angry on her behalf. "I honestly don't know how Gretchen ended up with a sister like her. They grew up together for f*ck's sake! Why the hell is Gwenda such a pain in the a*s?"
"Yeah! She's so rude, ignoring her own sister like that. Conceited little b*tch!"
"Look at how arrogant she is! Bloody annoying!"
Hearing how her friends insulted Gwenda, a hint of delight and satisfaction flickered through Gretchen's eyes. But when she spoke, her voice was gentle as she dissuaded her friends. "Alright, you guys. That's enough. My sister just has a frank personality."
"Come on, I think she just doesn't have any manners at all!"
"Yeah, she's bloody rude!"
They deliberately said it all loudly, and Gwenda heard everything.
Stopping in her tracks, she turned around and eyed the group coldly, with her gaze landing on Gretchen. She said sarcastically, "I didn't want to talk to you, Gretchen, but you still want to cause trouble! That's on you, not me!"
"Sis..."
Gretchen put on a hurt expression again.
Her friends were once again annoyed by this.
"Gwenda Evans, who are you calling a troublemaker?"
"Yeah! Who do you think you're calling a troublemaker?"
Gwenda crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at them. "Those of you who responded, duh."
"You..."
"You what?"
Gwenda snapped back coolly. "You're all a bunch of fools. Not only can you not tell between right and wrong, you don't even know that you're being used, and you still have the audacity to quibble in front of me?"
When Gretchen's friends heard that, they instantly flew into a rage.
One of them, who was called Justina, stepped up and spat, "Why so cocky, Evans? Did we say anything wrong? You used to bully your classmates, and now you're doing it to your sister! Are you even still human?"
"Yeah, man. Gretchen is really unlucky to have a sister like you!"
"I'm bullying her?" Gwenda snorted derisively, "Hey, which one of you idiots saw me bullying her?"
