The Coma Prince’s Fiancée novel Chapter 73

After paying, Rebecca asked one of the store clerks where the restroom was. She let Madonna know she’d be right back, then walked inside.

“Mom, I need to use the bathroom too. You can go ahead to the car,” Irvin said, acting like it was just a coincidence. Truth was, he’d been watching Rebecca the whole time, and as soon as she headed off, he jumped on the same excuse.

Madonna looked after them, barely holding back a laugh. “Seriously? The bathroom is such a family affair with these two?”

Paulina, who had been deep in conversation with Sophia about jewelry, caught sight of Irvin trailing after Rebecca into Lady.M. She found it a little odd but didn’t get the chance to think much about it, because her phone started buzzing nonstop.

When she unlocked her screen, she saw the group chat had blown up. A bunch of notifications waited for her.

[Paulina, congrats! Your 'Mist' performance has been nominated for the Golden Music Awards! I heard you’re the only student to make the cut. Vantage Point University is about to get famous thanks to you!]

[Paulina, you really are VPU’s pride. Gorgeous, rich, and super talented—sometimes I feel like the universe just handed everything to you. I’m so jealous I could cry right now.]

There were more messages like that. Paulina’s mood instantly lifted, all her earlier gloom melting away.

She glanced over at Madonna, who was telling the driver to load the jewelry, then started typing a reply.

[Thanks for the kind words, guys. I just got lucky, honestly.]

[Come on, Paulina. Everyone knows how good you are. Luck has nothing to do with it.]

[Exactly. No one but you from our school got a Golden Music Awards nomination.]

Their praise put a big smile on Paulina’s face. After thinking for a second, she added,

[By the way, I helped a relative get into Vantage Point University this year. She’ll be in the foundation program. She’s transferring in with a nontraditional background, so please don’t make her first week harder than it has to be.]

That set off a burst of laughter in the group.

[Whoa, Paulina, your relative sounds... interesting. She couldn’t even graduate from a no-name college? Did she mess up or something?]

[Right? Has she even been to school in the last few years? Good luck to her in the prep program, she’ll need it.]
