Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 652

"Who did you get?"

Wesley asked.

Mira and her two friends glanced over with mild interest.

"I managed to get Luna Lance, the campus belle, and Vanessa Voss!

I'm telling you, I completely convinced them to join us."

"That's fantastic. I owe you one."

With Luna's extensive social connections, the acting troupe was guaranteed to see massive growth.

"Wesley, we're actually on a pretty tight schedule today, so we won't go in after all."

Mira quickly found an excuse, ready to make a swift exit.

"Wait, what? I thought you agreed to come check it out?"

Wesley was caught off guard, genuinely believing he had just successfully recruited Mira.

"If you guys are bringing Luna in, there's no way Mira is joining," Elara chimed in, seeing the senior's confusion.

Elara quickly elaborated so the guy would understand.

"Mira and Luna absolutely do not get along. Haven't you heard?"

"Huh?"

Wesley froze, suddenly recalling a rumor some classmates had mentioned a few days ago.

He usually didn't pay much attention to the Aethelgard Social Forum, and since he had been busy at the time, he had brushed it off.

But later, he heard that the massive dorm incident was entirely orchestrated by Luna to make Mira's life miserable.

Somehow, though, Luna's plan had completely backfired, leaving her publicly humiliated instead.

"Since you've invited Luna, we'll just be on our way."

With that, Mira turned to leave.

"Wait, Mira, please stay. I'll tell her to leave."

In a split second, Wesley made a purely instinctual decision.

"You need to think this through. If you offend Luna, she's definitely going to make things difficult for your club.

Besides, my schedule is packed, so I'd probably only show up here occasionally."

We have a few other things to take care of, so we'll get going for now."

The trio still wanted to check out a few other organizations that afternoon.

As they wandered around the fair, Mira realized just how cutthroat the competition between the different clubs really was.

Any student with real talent was fiercely fought over by the relevant groups.

However, the most prestigious clubs were incredibly selective, requiring rigorous auditions or tests to weed out the amateurs.

Mira had intended to visit the FinTech and AI clubs, but on the way, they were distracted by The Gaming & Anime Collective.

"Mira, do you actually play video games? Do you even have the time?"

Elara couldn't help but ask. The poor girl had clearly never touched a video game in her life.

"Elara, you are absolutely going to make someone the perfect wife one day. You're thrifty, hardworking, and incredibly capable.

If I were a guy, I would marry you in a heartbeat."

Mira couldn't resist teasing her.

To her surprise, Elara deadpanned, "If you were a guy, I'd definitely say yes.
