Avril heard Bonnie’s mumblings and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What did you say, Bonnie? Is something out of order?”
Raising her hand, Bonnie touched her twitching eyelid. “It’s nothing. It’s just my right eyelid twitching like crazy again.”
Avril couldn’t help but feel nervous as well.
“Your right eyelid was also twitching like this when Prince Andreas proposed to you and Ivor found out about it. Do you think this means that something bad’s going to happen again?”
Bonnie frowned in response. She was about to say something when her phone started buzzing.
It was Reece calling her. Answering his call, she asked, “What’s the matter, Reece?”
“I’m sorry to be bothering you, Ms. Bonnie. Is this a good time to talk on the phone?”
“I can talk. Just tell me what’s going on.” She couldn’t help but guess what this call was about,
‘My right eyelid was twitching like crazy before he called. Could it be that it’s related to the university?’
She was still in the middle of her thought when she heard his voice from the other end of the phone.
“Here’s the thing. The prince of Zudale is an exchange student at our university. He applied to the university to be transferred back to his previous university.
“We’ve been watching the security camera and confirmed that he has boarded his private plane. He’s probably on his way back to his country now. Furthermore, he left you something, too. He asked us to make sure that you get it.”
Pursing her lips, she couldn’t put words to what she was feeling now.
‘It looks like Prince Andreas is really hurt over my rejection of his proposal. He couldn’t even tell me about it before he took a flight back to Zudale.
‘Given how things are now, though, I can’t think of any way to make it better. There’s nothing we can do but let things run their course.’
