Chapter 43
Surprisingly, I slept soundly last night. I thought Ethan would reach out to me through text or a phone call to discuss the set design together, but he didn't. It felt as if he didn't take the matter seriously, or perhaps he didn't need my help at all.
Then, it dawned on mehe probably didn't want to join the club in the first place. Perhaps he was just forced to join the event planning club because of the credit requirement. Plus, he probably didn't want Leah to think something was going on between us, so he made sure to keep his distance, even though we ended up in the same group. Mulling it over, I found the whole situation Incredibly laughable. However, I had moved on, so I felt much more at ease. I no longer felt bitter, and I realized just how liberating it was to not let someone else affect my state of mind.
The next moming, I got up early to go get breakdast. As soon as I went downstairs, I noticed someone crouching next to the bushes not far away.
It was common to see couples loitering around the entrance, but that person was definitely keeper for waiting outside the dormitory so early for his girlfriend
I was just curious about who this person was when he abruptly stood up.
"What are you doing here? Lasked, surprised. Why was he outside my dormitory so early in the morning?
"why do you think I'm here?" Edan asked through gritted teeth as if I had really upset him. Yet, I had no idea what was going on.
"For the record, I haven't seen Leah recently, and I haven't done anything to upset her." 1 immediately set the record straight
But to my surprise, he pulled out his phone and booted up his Messenger, showing me our chat history. "Why did you block me on Messenger?"
I was caught off guard. It dawned on me that he had come all the way to my dormitory early in the moming just to ask why I had blocked him.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
The chat interface showed that his message couldn't be delivered
He had asked, "Do you have any ideas?
That did sound like something he would ask so, be had tried to contact me last night. I just couldn't receive any of his messages because I had blocked him.
I could tell he was furious because his dark circles were so obvious. I didn't expect him to notice. Thad done it thinking we wouldn't have to interact with each other again. So, this whole situation was kind of embarrassing
"I guess I must've accidentally blocked you..I made up a freble excuse.
"Well, you must've been very careless! He emphasized the word "careless" and gave me a pointed look.
Even though I delt guilty, I wasn't interested in hearing him out. However, since we still had to work together, I had no choice but to add him back as a friend, albeit reluctantly.
"The club president sent me the latest plan yesterday and made it clear that we should set up the outdoor scenes according to the blueprints"
He forwarded me the file, and I was impressed when I saw the blueprints in the PDF. Lwas surprised by the level of erone had shown.
I noticed there are a few items that are not included in the sponsorship, so we'll need to buy them ourselves."
The sponsors wouldn't cover everything, so we would have to purchase a few items ourselves. Just then, he transferred me some money. "The upperclassman has sent over the funds. Let's buy everything and get a receipt. We can submit themhool for tembursement later Inodded in response. Then, he turned and walked away. I was caught off guard-had just been assigned the task of buying the items?
