Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 417

Then, despite himself, he took another couple of looks.

Noticing Scales' gaze, Corley looked back without a ripple, his eyes deepening.

"Please, have a seat."

"Thank you."

Mamie and Scales sat down next to Roseanne.

Corley called over a waiter, "Bring two more sets of cutlery, and ask the kitchen to whip up a couple more dishes."

"Sure, any specific requests?"

Corley glanced at the two.

Mamie said, "Something with meat."

Scales said,"No seafood."

"Got it."

The waiter left, making sure to close the door behind him.

Now, only the four remained in the private room.

Corley smiled towards Roseanne, "Aren't you going to introduce us, Anne?"

Anne?

Mamie blinked. Scales also looked curious.

Roseanne's expression didn't change: "They're my classmates, Scales, Mamie."

Then, pointing at Corley, she introduced, "My friend, Corley."

"Anne never asks me out, but this is an exception. So, what kind of trouble have you guys run into?"

He said "you guys." Not Roseanne.

His insight was undeniably sharp.

Mamie and Scales exchanged looks but remained silent.

Roseanne said, "I'll explain..."

"So, you want to fund this yourselves, buying CPRT through EchoVerse Systems?"

"Yeah."

Corley pondered for a moment, "Does the academy know about this?"

Roseanne shook her head: "We haven't discussed it with the academy yet."

After all, whether they could even purchase the equipment was another matter.

"If you're paying out of pocket, that's fine; CPRT from Sunlight too can be sold; but this must be disclosed to the academy, otherwise, it could become a point of contention."
