It had been a long time since Raeleigh went to class alone. It was rare for her not to see Jepherson or have Santiago by her side. Not only that, she also did not see Deanna, Zorion nor Jacky.
She felt very relaxed after her first class. Hence, she remained in class and waited for her next class to start.
During lunch, Raeleigh received a call from Xanthus asking her where she was. She immediately told him her exact location.
At noon, Xanthus brought Cynthia to meet up with Raeleigh. The three of them had lunch together. After lunch, they went their separate ways. Cynthia went to learn some massage techniques from Xanthus, while Raeleigh went back to class.
Raeleigh watched as Xanthus and Cynthia walked away, and couldn't help thinking about how life was very hard to predict.
After Cynthia and Xanthus left, instead of heading back to class like she had originally planned, Raeleigh decided to wander around the campus. At this time of the year, it was cold wherever she went. The surrounding scenery was bleak. There was a sense of uncontrollable loneliness in the air.
Raeleigh strolled for a while and found herself leaning against a tree. Santiago did not turn up for class today, and she had no idea how Jepherson was doing.
"Are you thinking about me?" Suddenly, someone spoke. Raeleigh looked in the direction of the voice and subconsciously thought that it was Jepherson. However, she came back to her senses when she saw who the person was.
"Didn't you transfer to another school?" Raeleigh was surprised when she saw Flynt. He was technically not allowed in the school grounds because he was no longer a student here.
"There are some things of mine that have not been settled," Then, Flynt briefly surveyed the surroundings and realised that Raeleigh was alone. He walked up to her, and she stepped away from the tree.
"I remember you mentioned that you wanted to buy me dinner. Can I take you up on that offer today? I have not eaten lunch, but since dinner is in about three hours, I think I can wait," Flynt glanced at his watch and hoped that Raeleigh would agree.
Raeleigh gave it some thought, "Gimme a minute."
After that, she made a call to Xanthus. When Xanthos heard her, he reminded her, "Be careful. I'll call you later. Remember to keep your phone on."
"OK, I know," Raeleigh then hung up the phone and continued walking around the campus with Flynt.
Flynt had a smile plastered across his face the entire time.
Raeleigh wasn't sure what Flynt was smiling at. He just looked as if he was very happy.
She followed him into his car as soon as they arrived outside the school. She then told him the name of the restaurant.
Although the restaurant was not big, Raeleigh thought that the price was reasonable. After getting out of the car, she followed Flynt into the restaurant. As soon as they found a table, she handed the menu to him and said, "Choose whatever you want. It's my treat."
Flynt accepted the menu and ordered a couple dishes that he liked before handing the menu back to Raeleigh.
Raeleigh, too, ordered a couple of dishes.
"You don't seem to be worried about what potentially might happen," Flynt commented casually.
"What is there to worry about? If you wanted to harm me, you would have done it long ago. The dispute between you and Jepherson has nothing to do with me. I was the innocent party that was dragged into this mess."
Raeleigh never thought that she was a person of importance. She doubted that Jepherson would do anything he should not because of her. The reason why there were disputes between them was because the power dynamic in Capital City had encountered a change. She was just an ordinary woman who did not possess any special abilities, so there was no reason she would become a target.
