Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1645

Chapter 1645 

After making his statement, Zavier didn’t wait for a reaction from anyone. He handed the mic back to the host and sauntered off the stage, disregarding the collective gaze of the audience that followed his every move. 

Wherever Zavier was, he was the center of attention. As he walked over to his clique of troublemakers and whispered something to them, they all got up and left with him in plain view of the entire school assembly. 

With his departure, it wasn’t just the eyes that followed him; it felt like he’d taken everyone’s souls with him. No one seemed to care about Skyler, still standing on the stage. 

The host quickly passed the microphone to her, saying, “Skyler, please, continue.” 

Being so thoroughly ignored didn’t seem to faze Skyler. With Zavier gone, she seemed to breathe easier. When she spoke again, her voice was clear, and her delivery impassioned, quickly recapturing the audience’s attention. 

The morning flew by, and soon it was time to disperse. 

Skyler walked back to the dorm with her roommates. Amanda grabbed her arm, bubbling with excitement. “Skyler, you were so close to Zavier! How did it feel? Didn’t you just want to jump him?”e2 

Skyler replied flatly, “No.” 

Amanda teased, “I’m beginning to wonder if you’re even into guys. A son from one of the Capital’s top families, the Hortons, is after you, and you won’t even give him the time of day. And now, you’re just inches away from Zavier, and nothing?” 

Emma chimed in, “Amanda, cut it out. Let’s think about how we can help Skyler.” 

Amanda quipped, “Help Skyler chase Zavier?” 

Emma gave her a nudge. “Even though there was no interaction between Skyler and Zavier today, it’s still gonna stir up jealousy. Mark my words, Skyler won’t have a moment’s peace for a while.” 

As they were talking, a girl they didn’t know blocked their path. “Skyler?” The girl asked. 

Skyler nodded. “That’s me. 

And 

you are?” 

The girl said, “Desiree wants to see you at the tennis courts. She’s waiting.” 

Skyler replied apologetically, “I’m sorry, but I don’t know any Desiree.” 

The girl’s tone turned frosty. “Desiree has been courteous to you. You better show up if you know what’s good for you. Don’t make the mistake of refusing her invitation.” 

Skyler didn’t appreciate the tone. “Listen, I don’t know this Desiree you’re talking about, and I have no intention of meeting her.” 

The girl sneered, “Who do you think you are? Everyone at our school knows Desiree. Don’t get cocky just because you shared the stage with Zavier.” 

Skyler turned to her roommates. “Do any of you know her?” 

Amanda, who loved to indulge in campus gossip, had heard about Desiree. She whispered to Skyler, “I’ve heard Desiree is the prettiest girl in the school and, rumor has it, Zavier’s girlfriend. Looks like trouble’s found us sooner than expected…”
