Chapter 8 Misunderstanding


    Sterling seemed to have not heard what Audrey said.


    He sat straight and crouched under the desk with Audrey.


    He picked up the ball of paper with his beautiful long fingers and slowly unfolded it.


    Audrey wanted to grab it back, but Sterling extended his other hand and pressed his palm against her forehead, preventing her


    from getting closer.


    His palm was as cold as his face.


    Out of the corner of her eye, Audrey saw Sterling unfold the paper and nce at what was written on it. She closed her eyes and


    sighed bitterly in her heart.


    Rome wasn’t built in a day.


    Audrey knew very well that she couldn’t mend their rtionship in a short time.


    But she wouldn’t allow the misunderstanding between them to deepen.


    “Listen...”


    Sterling glimpsed Audrey with deep eyes and smiled coldly, “Do you n to reject me after seducing me?”


    As the two were very close, Sterling could smell a faint scent.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    It was Audrey’s, but not from any unpleasant makeup or perfume.


    Sterling’s eyes fell on Audrey’s makeup-free face.


    Audrey had tender skin.


    She was usually uncool with heavy makeup, but now she looked ethereal.


    Unaware of the deep look shing through Sterling’s eyes, Audrey knitted her brows as she found it pretty hard to exin.


    The geography teacher noticed something unusual behind him and knocked on the podium. “What are you guys doing in thest


    row?”


    Audrey''s heart skipped a beat. She wanted to stand up, but Sterling chucked her under the chin.


    He moved closer to her.


    Audrey smelt Sterling’s refreshing scent. His handsome face was right in front of her. She was forced to look into his eyes.


    “Audrey.” He gritted his teeth. He called Audrey by her name for the first time and warned, “Don’t provoke me again, you know?”


    As the teacher was about to reach thest row, Sterling sat down in his chair.


    “What did your guys do just now?”


    Audrey stood up with a stiff face. She was embarrassed and nervous, but Sterling looked calm. He stood up slowly from his


    chair, his hands in his pockets, and squinted at the teacher. “She confessed her feelings for me,” he sneered with a faint smile on


    his face. “But | rejected her. A tterer like her doesn’t deserve my love.”


    All the students at Elsa Noble High School knew who Audrey liked.


    The ssroom fell silent for a few seconds, followed by a burst ofughter.


    The teacher looked at the two weakest students in the ss with a stern expression and asked, “Audrey, is what Sterling said


    true?”


    Audrey clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and nodded. She replied in a crisp voice, “Yes.”


    The teacher looked at Audrey, who had a pretty face but was arrogant and unruly, and snapped, “Go stand outside. You don’t


    need to attend this ss!”


    “Okay, no problem,” Audrey agreed with a sweet smile.


    The teacher burst into anger.


    Watching Audrey walking toward the door, Sterling narrowed his eyes. No one could tell what he was thinking.


    Audrey stood outside the ssroom until ss was over. The teacher brought her to the office and reprimanded her.


    Elsa Noble High School was a day school. It was time to finish school.


    Almost all the students in ss 10 had left. Patrick looked at Audrey with worry at the door of the ssroom. “Audrey, are you


    okay? | heard from Mabel that you changed your n, but there was no need to let the teacher know!”


    “Wait for me at the coffee shop. I''ll talk to youter.” Audrey nced at Sterling, who was ying a mobile game on his chair with


    his knees spread widely apart, and walked toward him.
