Similar sentences had flown back and forth between the two.
Henry was filled with displeasure, but he was not enough of a prick to bully the dorm auntie who was just doing her job with his status. So he turned to Jasper.
“Can’t we have that secretary bring us up again? He was the one who led the way last time.”
“Let’s not bother him over a private matter. I’ll just call Tiff to come down,” Jasper said, waving him off.
Just then, a few male students had also walked over and stood by the side of the dorm building with practiced ease. They were evidently waiting for their girlfriend and the like, and they looked at Jasper with curiosity.
Jasper was about to call Tiffany’s phone when a series of footsteps sounded from inside the dorm building. Then Jasper saw Tiffany rush over.
She was going too fast and her hair was a mess, so she certainly did not see Jasper in front of her.
The man was in her path and about to say something when Tiffany knocked straight into him.
“Ah!”
Tiffany shouted in shock. She looked up to see Jasper and her welling tears immediately began to fell. She called out for Jasper with a sob and hugged the man, crying into his arms.
Jasper did not know what had happened but instead of asking now, he patted her back and consoled, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m here, don’t cry anymore. I’ll keep you safe, don’t worry.”
Henry had also walked over with a skip in his steps. He was immediately filled with glee when he saw that Tiffany had been mistreated. “Hey, what’s wrong, Tiff? Did someone bully you? Tell your big brother Henry, I’ll make sure to I beat them up.”
Tiffany sobbed but clenched her lips and shook her head no matter what Jasper and Henry asked. She did not want to trouble the two.
Just as Henry felt out of his depth, Mia and another student walked out of the dorm building.
