Chapter 632
The next morning, by the time Mira arrived at the dorm, Leah Monroe and the others were just waking up.
“Leah, eat this while it’s hot. The sandwiches my housekeeper made are incredible.
I packed a thermos of oatmeal for you too p>
Mira had seen on the security footage last night that Jillian Lowe had brought a friend into the room, trying to take Mira’s chair. Leah had immediately stopped them.
Loyalty was a two-way street.
If a regular roommate wanted to borrow a chair, it wouldn’t be an issue, even if the owner wasn’t there.
But they weren’t regular roommates.
Jillian spent every waking moment kissing up to Vanessa Voss, treating Mira and Leah like invisible annoyances and constantly projecting subtle hostility.
So naturally, they weren’t getting any favors.
“Thank you! I can’t wait to try this. Elara Finn told me your nanny cooks like a pro p>
Leah sat down at her desk and opened the container. A mouth-watering aroma instantly filled the air. “Mmm, that smells amazing p>
She announced loudly as she took a bite.
Jillian’s chubby hand slammed a textbook onto her desk with a loud smack, but she didn’t utter a word.
Once Vanessa and Jillian left the room, Leah turned to Mira. “Look at her acting all high and mighty. Kissing up to Vanessa won’t get her anywhere.
Mira, why do you think Vanessa keeps that short, frumpy girl around p>
“The uglier Jillian looks, the more beautiful Vanessa appears by comparison. Side by side, the difference is glaring.
Besides, Jillian is always willing to fight Vanessa’s battles and take the fall for her. Don’t you think she’s incredibly useful p>
Leah nodded. “That makes sense. But what does Jillian get out of it? Doesn’t she just look worse and isolate herself p>
“You don’t need to be pretty to network. If she’s looking for a boyfriend, boosting her social standing is enough to get her foot in the door p>
Mira reasoned.
“Speaking of which, Elara’s roommate, Piper Bennett, just started dating Wyatt Wright from Harvey’s dorm p>
Leah whispered conspiratorially.
Wyatt Wright? Mira recalled that on
her very first day, Wyatt had asked if boyfriend. Now he had
she had
already moved on?
“I’m gone for one night, and the drama is already unfolding p>
“Elara told me last night p>
Other people’s business had nothing to do with her.
“Leah, is there anyone you’re interested in p>
Mira asked, genuinely curious.
“It’s not just about whether I like someone. A relationship requires a mutual spark. One-sided crushes don’t work p>
“So, there is someone you like! You should just ask him if he’s interested. If he says yes, great. If not, whatever p>
Mira viewed it practically.
“You’ve clearly never been in a relationship. It’s never that simple p>
Mira actually hadn’t. Not in this life, and not in her past one either.
As for Wesley Scott, that was just an arranged marriage set up by thei families when they were kids. best, they were amicable friends. She hadn’t known the first thing about love back then.
“Well, whenever you’re ready, tell me all about it p>
After chatting a bit more, Leah finished her breakfast, and the two headed to the training grounds to assemble.
Leah pointed discreetly at a girl and whispered to Mira, “That’s Piper Bennett p>
The girl was slender, not particularly tall, with delicate, refined features that gave her an elegant aura.
Mira glanced at her briefly before looking away.
During lunch, Mira spotted Harvey
Rivers. Remembering Eleanor’s
comment last night about settinet
_him up with her
cousin Sera, she
decided to ask.
“Harvey, do you like my cousin p>
