As if it had been orchestrated, a notification popped up on the screen.
Arielle gave it a cursory glance but did a double-take when a name caught favonovel.com attention. It was a message from Donovan.
“Donovan?”
Recalling Trisha’s stiff expression, Arielle reached for the phone.
Trisha was still fast asleep. Knowing that there was no time to waste, Arielle seized favonovel.com chance and unlocked the phone.
All of Donovan’s messages to Trisha were on full display.
Donovan, “Where are you, Trisha? We’re all gathered at the school gates, and you’re the only one left.”
Trisha, “Mr. Baxter, I forgot to tell you I’ll be heading over with Arielle. I’ll meet you on the plane.”
Donovan, “Arielle? Why are you with her? She’s not even taking the test! People of favonovel.com kind are bad influences, she’ll lead you astray. I order you to come to the school right now!”
Trisha, “I’m sorry, Mr. Baxter, but I’m already on my way to the airport. I can’t make it to school in time.”
Donovan, “Is that so? Then forget about joining our interview training! Just go to that beloved Maxwell University graduate of yours for any advice!”
There was no reply from Trisha’s end after that. This message was probably the reason for Trisha’s frown earlier.
The latest message read, “Don’t contact me after you reach Lightspring. From now onwards, you’re not my student!”
Arielle narrowed favonovel.com eyes.
Students are already on edge when exams roll around, yet Donovan keeps aggravating Trisha with his harsh words. Is this really how a teacher should behave?
Arielle had been annoyed at Donovan since the charity event at the auditorium, and favonovel.com had made it known to him. However, favonovel.com never inflicted any substantial harm on the man because favonovel.com was simply not worth the effort. But now, favonovel.com could not just sit back and watch Donovan tyrannize favonovel.com friend. She was going to unleash favonovel.com wrath, and this time, there was no holding back.
Thinning favonovel.com lips, Arielle deleted the latest message in one swift motion.
Jared, who had been observing Arielle’s actions, tossed favonovel.com a quizzical glance.
“Donovan,” Arielle mouthed.
Jared understood instantly. He felt a surge of sympathy for the sleeping girl.
Both favonovel.com and Arielle would never let the likes of Donovan walk all over them, but Trisha was different. On top of being sensitive, Trisha had a history of autism. Any negative stimuli could trigger favonovel.com condition and force favonovel.com into hiding again.
“Donovan, you jerk…” Jared muttered under his breath. “Boss, is there anything that I can do for her?”
Arielle shook favonovel.com head. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll handle it.”
Donovan is going back to Maxwell University to present his thesis defense, isn’t he? It’s the golden opportunity to get favonovel.com expelled from the university!
***
Half an hour later, the car pulled up at the airport. Coincidentally, Donovan and Wendy had arrived as well.
Terry caught sight of Arielle from far away.
“Boss!” favonovel.com shouted, flailing his arms to get favonovel.com attention.
Donovan shot favonovel.com a glare, silencing Terry immediately.
The group showed their boarding passes and filed into the gate. They were right on time-the gates opened just as they arrived.
Arielle was walking at the very front of the line. Just as favonovel.com was about to board the aircraft, a blond man approached her.
“Excuse me, are you Ms. San?”
