Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 89

Gillian had long been aware of Kaylee's sharp tongue, and since she couldn't win against her, she glared fiercely in her direction.

At that moment, the physical education teacher turned around and saw Gillian, reprimanding her, "Gillian, why are you standing up? Do you want to fail this class?"

Gillian swallowed her grievances and replied, "I didn't do anything."

"Then catch up quickly!"

" ... Okay."

After the physical education class ended, Candy wanted to get back at Gillian. She planned to trip Kaylee when she wasn't paying attention.

However, her plan failed because Violeta kicked the foam pad just in time, covering Candy's foot.

Unaware of the situation, Kaylee turned around and accidentally stepped on Candy's foot, causing her to cry out in pain.

Kaylee glanced at Candy and coldly said, "I've never seen such a foolish person who willingly extends their foot for others to step on."

"Okay."

Violeta picked up her bag and left the gym together.

Hattie saw everything and slightly lowered her eyes with a subtle expression.

She never expected that Violeta had some tricks up her sleeve.

-

When they were filling out the club registration form earlier, Violeta noticed Kaylee's birth month and realized her birthday was in two days.

Given their current relationship, Violeta naturally wanted to give Kaylee a gift.

However, she was having trouble deciding what to give.

In the end, with Irene's suggestion, Violeta decided to give her a bottle of perfume.

Violeta knew that with Kaylee's personality, she would definitely give an equally valuable gift in return. So, she deliberately didn't tell Kaylee the price of this bottle of perfume. She just vaguely mentioned that it cost about 15 dollars.

In fact, this perfume was a limited edition launched by Ella this quarter, and because the brand was too niche, it was only available through private high-end customization. Hence, there were no counters, and it could only be purchased through certain means.

Even with the high price, there was a high demand even when there was no supply.

Although it was difficult to buy the perfume, fortunately, Irene had connections.

So, the perfume successfully arrived in Kaylee's hands on her birthday.

When Kaylee received the gift box, she was shocked. "Wow, Vio! This must be expensive! It looks so luxurious just from the packaging."

Violeta said, "It's okay. Open it and see if you like it. My mom and I picked it together."

Kaylee cherished the packaging so much that she was reluctant to tear open the exquisite lacquer inside.

As soon as she opened the gift box, a pleasant rose fragrance wafted out.

Then, a delicate vintage round bottle came into view. The burgundy liquid inside resembled red wine.

"Wow! It's perfume!"

Kaylee was extremely surprised.

"I think you'll like this scent."

Kaylee hesitated to take it out. She looked at Violeta with a grateful expression and said, "This is my first bottle of perfume! I always used to secretly use my mom's. I love you so much, Vio!"

Violeta smiled. "I'm happy to give you your first bottle of perfume. It would be even better if you like the scent too."

"How can I not like it? I love it!"

The scent emitted by the perfume was that of roses. It was not overpowering but long-lasting, just like the fragrance that had wafted out of the gift box.

Kaylee exclaimed repeatedly, "This is the best-smelling perfume I've ever encountered."

"Haha, I'm glad you like it."
