Take Me Away novel Chapter 36

The next day, Spencer returned to the university as the drillmaster. Needless to say, he attracted many of the girls' attention once more. After several days, the girls realized something. All the drillmasters were strict. Thus, they preferred to have a good-looking one since they were all going to be strict either way.

Meanwhile, Fiona kept fidgeting in her place. As she watched Spencer speak and act grimly, she felt as if he was going to lash out at her any minute.

The horns rung throughout the playground.

After an entire day of military training, Fiona let out a long sigh. Nothing had happened!

"Let's go, Fiona!" Sophia stepped forward and grabbed her arm. "Come on, Ryan's inviting us to dinner tonight!"

Fiona glanced at Spencer, watching him walk towards the gathering area of the drillmasters. She thought, 'Did he hear that?'

"Hurry up!" Without giving her a chance to say anything, Sophia pulled Fiona's hand as they left.

Fiona was a little embarrassed. "Sophia, I don't think it's such a good idea since Ryan's been treating us out to dinner these past few days. You can go by yourself. I'm not going."

"No way! Ryan's only treating us to dinner for your sake. If you don't go, then he won't treat me," Sophia protested. "You should go. This is normal. It's how a boy pursues a girl he likes. Ryan's very rich after all."

Fiona was speechless for a while. Just as she was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of Ryan standing not far away. He smiled when he saw Fiona.

How could anyone refuse such a smile? Fiona sighed and smiled back. She seemed to be have been reminded of the fun times they spent the previous day.

"Spencer, look! Isn't that Fiona?" Meanwhile, Eric and Spencer had left together. When Eric saw Fiona, he poked Spencer on the waist. "Look! She's with someone handsome guy."

Raising his head, Spencer replied flatly, "I see."

"Is that it?" Eric prompted. "Are you sure you saw them? What if that guy likes Fiona? Fiona is your..."

With a cold smile, Spencer interrupted, "Did you see the look on Fiona's face? She's giggling like a maniac. She's practically throwing herself at him!" He remembered the post he had seen on the forum yesterday.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Eric was at a loss for words. He stuck his tongue out. 'Is he jealous?'

"Mr. Cheng!" A girl suddenly approached them. She raised her head and stole a glance at Spencer, her face turning red.

"You are...?" Eric asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm from the publicity department of the student union," the girl said as she took out two invitations from her bag. "We're inviting you to come to the newcomers welcoming party."

"When is the party? Are all the students coming to the party?" Eric asked.

"It's at six o'clock tomorrow night at the auditorium," the girl replied. "The freshmen are required to come while the rest are free to come."

"So, are we going or not?" Eric looked at Spencer.

Glancing at the invitation, he replied flatly, "Okay."

"Great!" The girl smiled at him and nodded. It seemed as if she was reluctant to leave.

"Are you sure?" Eric asked, holding the invitation. "Are you going to the party because of Fiona? You haven't been looking well these past few days. Are you and Fiona fighting? Will she perform at the party? She can play the piano, right?"

With the invitation in his hand, Spencer tapped Eric's head and said, "Cut the crap!" He looked around and found that Fiona had already left. He then headed towards the canteen.

"You haven't answered my questions yet!" When Eric caught up with Spencer, Spencer didn't even react. He merely shrugged his shoulders and said, "Forget it. We'll see her tomorrow anyway."
