Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 183

"Bang—" The office door was flung open.

Zelena and Candy walked in. "Nolan, we're here to get our new uniforms."

Nolan and Violeta turned to look, meeting Zelena's accusatory gaze.

Nolan furrowed his brow, glanced through the documents on his desk, found Zelena's size information, and said calmly, "Your size is in the second cabinet on the left, third shelf."

Zelena walked in, pretending to open the cabinet to get her uniform. She exchanged a glance with Candy, who understood immediately.

As Zelena grabbed her uniform, a small ping-pong ball "accidentally" fell out of Candy's pocket and bounced under the desk.

"Oh no, my ping-pong ball!"

Candy quickly moved forward, bending down to retrieve it.

Violeta stepped back to give her space.

After picking up the ball, Candy stood up and bumped into Violeta.

Nolan gently pulled Violeta back, allowing Candy to catch a glimpse of the content on their computer screen.

So, this is what they had been working on in the office all these days—designing promotional graphics.

"Sorry for the interruption, Nolan," Candy said, after seeing the screen.

With their uniforms in hand, Zelena and Candy left the office.

As soon as they were outside, Zelena eagerly asked Candy what she had seen.

"Lena, they're designing promotional graphics for something related to chess ... "

"Chess?"

Zelena suddenly realized the connection—it was related to the Chess Association!

The Chess Association's visit to the school for a promotional lecture was originally the responsibility of the student council.

Violeta must have used her Chess Association membership to get close to Nolan. How shameless!

...

In the afternoon, the Chess Association finally confirmed the time for their promotional lecture.

The advisor came to the class to make an announcement, "There will be a Chess Association lecture in the auditorium the day after tomorrow. If anyone is interested in chess, I highly recommend attending. It will be very beneficial."

"There will also be small gifts for those who attend."
