The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 237

Chapter 0237 I knew she had an early morning class and would most likely be in the student lounge after her class .

I arrived towards the end of that early morning class , so Id be able to catch her before I had to get to my first class of the day .

I walked into the student lounge and waited in our usual spot .

I ordered us both a coffee and had it waiting for her when she arrived After what felt like an eternity , I glanced at my watch with frown .

It was almost time for my first class of the day .

A girl 1 recognized walked by ; I knew she was in Nans early morning class because they had done homework together in the past .

Hey , Stasia , I said , stopping her in her tracks .

She froze and looked at me , her eyes wide and her cheeks flushed .

Oh , uh … hi Judy , she said , staring at the ground and avoiding my eyes .

I furrowed my brows ; it was a strange reaction that I never received from her before .

Actually , the more I noticed it , the more I realized she wasnt the only one staring at me weirdly .

I frowned as I glanced around the student lounge , almost all of them were glancing in my direction and then looking away once they saw me noticing .

They were whispering amongst one another and I realized they were all talking about me .

I was so wrapped up in my own thoughts that I hadnt noticed what was going on around me .

Could it be because of the headlines I was featured in last week ? I knew Gavin had taken down the pictures and then eventually the new story , but I guess word traveled quickly and some people were still able to see the headlines .noveldrama

My heart hammered in my chest as I looked up at Stasia who suffered awkwardly in her shoes .

Did you need something ? She asked after I hadnt said anything Oh , uh … I said , swallowing the lump in my throat .

Was Nan in class today ? She shook her head .

She emailed the teacher and said she was going to be absent for a few days , Stasia explained .

My heart cracked She was taking time off school , and she hadnt told me about it .

I let out a shaky breath and nodded .

Okay , thanks , I said softly .

Stasia nodded and hurried away .

I glanced around at everyone else who quickly looked away from me .

I furrowed my brows and stood up , grabbing all my things and shoving them in my backpack .

I grabbed my coffee cup and the one I grabbed for Nan ; I walked to the trash and threw them into the bin .
