Mandy, on the other hand, felt that something was off as she watched Gerald and Marven leaving the hall.
“Hey, Jasmine? Earlier when Gerald walked past me, I could feel my heart thumping rapidly! Hell, for a second there, I even considered the thought of wanting him to stay by my side! What on earth was that feeling…? While we haven’t really acquainted ourselves with him, why does he already feel so familiar…?” whispered Mandy.
“I get what you mean. While he dresses like a regular person, he sure doesn’t feel like one! We don’t know anything about his background yet either…” replied Jasmine with a nod.
As both of them continued discussing Gerald, all six of the boys were already carrying the water bottles back to the hall.
They were also tasked with distributing the water bottles to the school authorities and a few workers involved with the event.
While they had water bottles in hand once they arrived at the hall again, none of the school authorities or workers seemed to be thirsty anymore.
It was probably because Fabian was still on the call on stage.
Isabelle herself was now on the stage standing right next to him, even though the call had absolutely nothing to do with her.
Once the call finally ended, disappointment was felt across the entire hall. The money hadn’t been donated by Fabian’s father after all.
Then who could’ve done it? The revelation that Fabian’s father hadn’t been the donor only further increased the audiences’ curiosity.
Seeing that his father hadn’t played a part in the donation, Fabian then turned to look at Stella before saying, “Perhaps It was your father who donated, Stella? After all, he’s always been passionate about events like this, right?”
Stella nodded before replying, “Yeah, I’ll call my dad now to confirm it!”
While everyone’s eyes were peeled on Stella this time, a sudden yelp momentarily drew their attention away from her.
The person who had yelped was none other than Marven!
He had initially been holding on to all the water bottles as Gerald distributed them. Unfortunately for him, a girl carrying a gown—who was re-entering the hall—couldn’t avoid him in time and accidentally bumped into Marven.
