Chapter 870
“Mira? Didn’t you say you were locking yourself in your house to work and study all holiday? What are you doing back on campus p>
Harvey Rivers called out, walking toward them with a few of his dormmates.
“Liora and Celine are visiting. I’m just giving them a tour p>
Mira explained, gesturing to the girls behind her.
“Harvey Rivers! It’s only been a few months, and you’re already acting like you don’t know me p>
Liora teased, shooting him a playful glare.
“Of course I know you. Even if you were reduced to ash, I’d still recognize you, Liora p>
Harvey laughed easily.
“Since you two came all this way, enjoy the tour. Lunch is on me today p>
“You’re the one turning to ash p>
Liora ground her teeth, though a smirk played on her lips. “I’m ordering the most expensive thing on the menu, just for that p>
“What about me, handsome? Why are you only saying hi to them p>
Sienna practically materialized beside Harvey, batting her eyelashes before turning
to Mira. “Okay, Mira. I finally believe you. This campus is packed with gorgeous guys p>
Celine desperately wanted to clamp a hand over her cousin’s mouth, but with Harvey’s friends standing right there, she couldn’t make a scene.
Unfortunately, Sienna’s loud flirtation successfully drew the attention of Harvey’s friends.
“She’s Celine’s cousin. She tagged along for the day p>
Mira introduced her smoothly.
The guys, however, barely gave Sienna a second glance. The simply offered polite nods before looking away.
“Alright, we’ll let you guys get back to it. We’ve got errands to run. Catch you later p>
As Mira’s group continued their walk, Sienna remained firmly planted, staring hungrily at Harvey’s retreating back.
“Mira, you have to hook me up with Harvey p>
Sienna pleaded. Having gone to a different high school, she had never crossed paths with him before today.
She looked at Mira with starry-eyed desperation.
“Are you delusional? You honestly think a guy like Harvey would ever look twice at someone like you p>
Celine unleashed her pent-up rage without hesitation.
“Sienna, there are no toxic bad boys in Mira’s inner circle. Just give it up,” Liora added, trying to let her down gently.
“I don’t strictly date bad boys! If Harvey agreed to date me, I swear I’d be entirely faithful to him p>
“Even if you were, he wouldn’t want you.
Harvey is a high-level elite. He needs a partner who can stand beside him on the battlefield, someone brilliant like Mira. Could you honestly do that p>
Celine scoffed, raking a disdainful gaze over her cousin.
In truth, Celine had her own quiet crush on Harvey, but his standards were so
intimidatingly high that she never felt worthy of him.
“Then why aren’t he and Mira a couple p>
“We literally just went over this,” Mira sighed. “I have a boyfriend p>
“But isn’t your boyfriend an old man p>
“And I’m perfectly happy with him p>
Mira replied, her patience finally starting to thin.
“Her boyfriend is twenty-eight! Since when is that an ‘old man’? Shut your trash mouth p>
Celine hissed fiercely.
Mid-argument, the group arrived at the entrance to Mira’s dorm building.
“Come on up. I’ll show you my room p>
“Wow, this looks a lot like the dorms at our university p>
Liora observed as they walked the halls.
“Wait, your house is so close to campus. Why do you even have a dorm p>
“I stayed here at the beginning of the semester just for the college experience, but I moved out shortly after.
Now I just keep the bed so I can take a nap between classes or drop off my textbooks p>
“Makes sense. Without a bed, you wouldn’t have anywhere to crash when the afternoon slump hits p>
The moment Mira opened her dorm
door, Jillian Lowe rushed over. “Mira!
What are you doing
here? I thought I
you were taking the holiday off p>
“A few friends came to visit. I’m just showing them around the campus p>
“Oh! Well, since I had some free time, I wiped down your entire bed frame and desk with disinfectant p>
“Thanks, Jillian p>
Across the room, Vanessa Voss barked at Leah Monroe, “Go scrub the bathroom. I need to take a shower p>
Leah meekly scrambled to follow the order, leaving Celine, Liora, and Sienna staring in sheer disbelief.
“Whoa,” Sienna gasped loudly. “Your dorm allows people to keep pet dogs p>
Vanessa didn’t even flinch-she was entirely used to the dynamic. Leah, however, flushed a deep, humikating red though she had no choice but to Keep scrubbing
