Lucy Ansley apologized, then turned to take the call.
Thomas Chapman awkwardly adjusted his posture, thinking he needed to find an opportunity to reestablish himself as the elite who secured a direct admission.
And as Lucy put her phone to her ear, a sinister reminder came from the other end: "The weekend's coming up, just try bailing on me again."
Lucy looked out the window, "I'll be there on Sunday, on time."
"That's for the best." Julian Blaze's frustrated mood eased a bit, but he couldn't help dragging out his words with a bossy tone, "Otherwise..."
However, before he could finish his threat, Lucy added, "You can deactivate my account."
Julian: "?"
Oh, so it meant if she stood him up again, he could deactivate her account?
Julian hung up the phone without another word.
Nothing seems to work, damn frustrating.

At 7 PM, Lucy booked a high-speed train ticket back to Fragrant River by herself.
