The next morning, Kingsley received a message from Elaine around 9.00AM. 'Why haven't you come to school, Kingsley? My dad is already in the office." Staring at the message, Kingsley found himself in a dilemma with no idea how to reply to the innocent girl, for he couldn't forgive her father for having gotten his parents killed. After all, not only was Elaine Courtney's best friend, but she had also stood up for Kingsley once in the past.
Hesitant and confused, Kingsley struggled to figure out how he should respond to Elaine. He then rubbed his temples, wishing Elaine was his enemy—just like how Caleb, Nicholas, and William were. That way, he wouldn't have much to worry about when dealing with Vincent. Upon knitting his eyebrows for a while, Kingsley replied to Elaine, 'I was planning to meet Professor Albright tomorrow during his new book launch."
'Yeah, that seems like a better idea. For a second, I was worried that you'd show up at my dad's office all of a sudden and end up getting chased out of there.' Elaine responded not long after that, whereas Kingsley put his phone down and started planning for his retaliation the next day.
Meanwhile, Courtney was sitting in her bedroom at Block Jasmine, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses while rapidly typing on her keyboard. Soon, Queenie opened the bedroom door and walked in with a smile. "Have you heard about the dance competition that the dance club is holding at the stadium, Court? Do you want to go there and watch it with me?"
"Nah, I'll pass." Courtney didn't even bother to turn around. "I'm not interested."
Queenie leaned in closer, trying to change Courtney's mind by tempting her. "Court, are you sure you don't want to come along? There are plenty of hot guys in the dance club. Are you sure you don't want to see them for yourself?"
"Hot guys?" Courtney was stunned for a while just as Kingsley's silhouette flashed across her mind. "Haha! Kingsley is the most handsome man there is in the world. I won't lay my eyes on anyone else besides him."
