Agnes just stood there. Her eyes fixated on the invitation in Jenny's hand.
The invite was all dreamy and fancy.
Jenny, grinning, said, "Agnes, don't tell me you're still hung up on your past with Elton..."
"I'll go." Agnes cut Jenny off, snatching the invite from her.
Onlookers couldn't help but stare at the interaction between Agnes and Jenny.
Past? What past? What happened between Agnes and Elton?
Agnes knew Jenny was deliberately bringing up the past, but why?
She's already engaged to Elton. Why brought up their past?
Lily, standing at the podium, tapped on the table. "We're here to celebrate Jenny's engagement. But since Jenny has stepped down as the president, Agnes, it's time to step up. You've been with The Journalism Society for three years. You're the most experienced and outstanding member here. The role is yours."
Agnes was a bit distracted, but she accepted the position.
Lakeside College's Journalism department was abuzz these days. Everyone knew about Jenny's engagement to Elton.
Word on the street was that all the big shots from Willowbrook Town were invited.
But there were rumours on campus that Agnes was meddling with Jenny and Elton's relationship.
Apparently, a photo of Agnes and Elton was anonymously posted on the campus network.
The same photo that Jenny held in her hand. No doubt, it was Jenny's doing.
The comments section was a mixed bag, but ultimately, everyone believed Agnes was causing trouble out of jealousy over Jenny and Elton's engagement.
After seeing the post, Agnes called Jenny directly. "You already got what you wanted. Why are you still doing this?"
