Chapter 93 George’s Mood
[Birds of a feather flock together. Layla’s trash, and her fans are just as morally bankrupt.]
[Who’s really morally bankrupt here? Some of you are so blind over your idol. You’re this loyal-is Stella covering your eye exams?]
[I don’t get how anyone still supports Stella. Can’t you all see straight through her act? I used to be just like you. Since we all fell for her lies, let me give you a piece of advice: take a good, hard look at yourselves.
[Shut up. You jumped ship just to trash her on your way out? Traitor. May every idol you ever stan crash and burn.]
With Stella gone, Layla’s gaze landed on George.
Now that she’d cleared her head, she no longer had the same fear of the main characters.
But the memory of George causing her to fall into the water still made her blood boil. “You’re still here?”
“You’re kicking me out?”
“Am I not allowed to kick you out?” Layla raised an eyebrow. “This is my place.”
“Fine!” George shot her a vicious glare, grabbed his jerky, and stormed off in a huff.
[Even pissed off, he still remembers his food. That’s our George.]
[Okay, but doesn’t his reaction seem a little off to you guys?]
[What’s off about it? Isn’t he always like this? Ready to explode at the drop of a hat.]
[Nah, this is different. George is usually all sharp tongue, full of himself, and totally up his own ass. But this time-Layla didn’t trash his looks or anything. And everyone knows about him and Stella. So why the blowup?]
[Because Layla called Stella his future mate. Wait… that’s just true. So why’s he mad?]
[What if… just throwing this out there… what if he’s into Layla?]
[No way. Who treats someone they like like that? He’s just got a chip on his shoulder about her.]
[They’ve gone at it plenty of times before, but I’ve never seen him this riled up. And he went out of his way to say he’s not with Stella. That sounds like someone who likes Layla and doesn’t even realize it.]
“What’s his problem?” Layla shot Shane a puzzled look.
Shane took her hand and gently guided her to sit at the table. “No idea. Probably just in a mood again. Isn’t he always like that? Don’t worry about it.”
Layla nodded. “Yeah, he’s always been hot and cold.”
A flicker of satisfaction passed through Shane’s eyes-gone in an instant.

Chapter 93 Georges Mood
[I have a theory. Did Prof. Slater sense George coming and put on that lovey-dovey act on purposef
} [He totally did it for George’s benefit. Made Layla say all that just so George would hear it. You sly snake ]
[Now that you mention it, I’m even more convinced George likes Layla. Oh man… George has a long. painful road ahead of him.]
[Don’t worry. As long as nobody tells him, he might go his whole life without realizing it.]
[Wait-your profile picture is George. Are you even a real fan?]
“Stop thinking about other people,” Shane said, sitting down beside Layla. “Your boyfriend is right here, How about looking at me instead?”
“Look at you for what?” Layla shot back. “Are you done with your business? Found what you’re looking for?
Shane shook his head. “Not yet. No telling how long it’ll take. We’ll get there. We’ve got plenty of time.”
[Looking for what? Can’t you just tell us? Let us help you look.]
[Yeah, spill it. What’s with all the secrecy? What could be so mysterious that we VIPs aren’t allowed to hear?)
[Maybe it’s something to prove his feelings. Didn’t you hear him say they’ve got plenty of time? I bet whatever it is, it means a lot to both of them.]
“That won’t cut it. I’m counting on you. Hurry up.” Layla tapped him on the head.
Shane nodded. “Yes, ma’am.”
“Smooth talker. That’s not like you, Prof. Slater.”
“Then what is like me?” He traced a finger down the bridge of her nose.
“You should have said, ‘I’ll do my best.”
That whole “Yes, ma’am” thing sounded more like something Liam would say.
“Fine. I’ll do my best.” Shane smiled at her. “Yates is not back yet?”
