“I…” Fredric licked his lips and smiled awkwardly.
“This is a bar. It isn’t a place where girls like you would come. I thought I saw you, so I came after you… Wouldn’t your brother flip the entire Centrolis over if something happened to you?”
“I’m an adult, okay?” Zennie mumbled. “Also, can’t I come here to relax due to the stress I’m getting from school? Who said bars prohibit students…”
“Okay, okay.” He was helpless, “Don’t stay out late. Go home soon.”
“Got it. I’m going home now!” She waved at him and hopped toward the main street happily.
Fredric frowned as he watched her leave.
He was unsure why, but he had a feeling she seemed to be different from how she usually was.
Although she had tried her best to force her usual cheekiness… No matter what, she was different.
He hoped that he was overthinking. After thinking it through, he decided to inform Seth. He was the boyfriend that everyone wished Zennie would end up with!
He walked to the car park to hail a cab and texted Seth.
Meanwhile, on a street not far from the bar, Zennie hugged her backpack tightly. She instinctively shivered as she looked at the person before her.
“I-I’ve already done the thing you asked me to do. Can you give it to me now?”
“You’ve done as I said?” The man smirked.
His face remained pale even from the light of the sunset. His skinny body was almost sickly.
A cunning gleam flashed through his eyes under the baseball cap.
Zennie answered in panic, “I-I did. Really, I did as you said—”
However, before she was done speaking, the man grabbed her backpack. She screamed and attempted to grab it back but could not fight the man’s strength.
The things in her bag were scattered all over the ground. There were pills in a small transparent bag among the messy books.
“Hah, it’s here! How dare you say that you’ve done as I said?”
“Phil…” Zennie was shaking, and her eyes turned red. There was fear in her big eyes. “W-What do you want!?”
“I asked you to put these pills in the bar. Why did you bring them back to me!?”
