Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 583

The three girls stepped off the elevator, and as they walked out of the building, Mira dialed Harvey's number.

"We're all unpacked. Weren't you supposed to be giving us a tour?"

"At your service, my lady! Just say the word, and I'll be right there."

Elara rolled her eyes.

Leah simply stared, utterly bewildered.

"Knock it off," Mira laughed.

"So, this Harvey guy... did you two already know each other?"

Leah asked, her curiosity piqued.

"Yeah, he's an old friend. We were in the same class back in high school,"

Elara explained warmly.

"Wow! So three people from your exact class made it into Aethelgard?"

Elara nodded, a rare look of unmistakable pride on her face.

When they exited the dormitory, Harvey was already waiting for them.

Mira looked at him in surprise. "How did you get down here faster than us?"

"I told you, I've been waiting at your beck and call."

Leah's eyes practically popped out of her head. He was incredibly handsome, carrying himself with an effortless, old-money confidence she had never encountered before.

She eagerly wanted to introduce herself, but seeing how wrapped up he was in his conversation with Mira, she reluctantly decided to hold her tongue.

Not far away, Silas Vane and another guard began to approach. Mira subtly signaled for them to keep their distance, but Leah caught the gesture.

"Mira, do you know those guys?"

Mira realized her new roommate was quite the busybody. If someone subtly waved someone off, it usually meant they didn't want to discuss it.

Still, it wasn't a heavily guarded secret.

"They're my security detail."

At an elite institution like Aethelgard University, rubbing shoulders with heirs and socialites was part of the daily routine. Having a bodyguard discreetly trailing behind was hardly a scandalous affair.

"What?"

Leah's jaw dropped as if Mira had just confessed to being royalty.

Harvey offered a running commentary as they strolled down the main thoroughfare.

"Did you literally walk the entire campus yesterday?"

Mira asked, genuinely impressed.

"You bet I did. I scouted the whole place out for you guys. My legs were practically jello by the end of it."

"Oh, please. You were just bored and wanted to explore."

"Don't believe me? Just wait until you try it. Let's see if you can handle the trek today."

Elara pointed toward the sidewalk. "Hey, aren't those EcoRide bikes?"

"Yeah, I actually rode one of those yesterday. Even with the bike, I barely scratched the surface. Trying to see everything on foot is basically impossible."

"Once we check out the dining hall, let's grab some bikes,"

Mira suggested, eyeing the bright green bicycles lined up perfectly.

The dining hall was massive, already bustling with students grabbing an early lunch.

There were dozens of food stations lining the walls. Mira scanned the digital menus, noting the impressive variety of international and regional cuisines available.
