Dorothy was encouraged when she saw that Reyes’s expression had improved a lot. She had completely forgotten her purpose in talking to him.
“Yes, the vice president of the student union. Although it’s a high position, very few people know about it. Besides, it just sounds good. Toya doesn’t have much power in the student union and rarely attends related events. She only runs errands for the teachers and fulfills the duty and responsibility of the vice president of the student union.”
Her tone was filled with disdain.
Because of Toya’s powerful background, the teachers promoted her to be the vice president of the Student Union. And because of her powerful background, they didn’t dare to trouble her to do many things in the Student Union.
The less she did, the less control she had over the entire organization, so she naturally had no rights.
Toya herself didn’t like things like power either.
She had her own reasons for staying in the Student Union.
But no one knew the reason yet.
Some people envied her for being the vice president of the Student Union without doing anything. Others mocked her. Even if she was the vice president of the Student Union, she was a figure head who could do nothing.
And Dorothy must have envied her and laughed at her.
The relationships between women were very complicated. Dorothy could smile at Toya when she met her, and she wouldn’t even mind kissing up to her. She could also show her true feelings when she turned her back on Toya.
Reyes chuckled softly with lofty derision.
He gave her a smirk. “You don’t think we really don’t know each other just because Toya says we’re not close, do you?”
Dorothy went pale. She quickly composed herself and said, “Of course not. I just think Toya can do better. Perhaps she doesn’t care much about those titles.”
“It had better be.”
Reyes gave her a look and strolled toward the staircase.
It was a very aloof look, but Dorothy felt strangely threatened.
She entered the classroom with a gloomy expression, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
The classmates beside her had already noticed Reyes outside the classroom. After all, his handsomeness didn’t just catch Dorothy’s eyes.
But they all felt that this handsome man was very difficult to deal with. No one dared to approach him. In fact, it was indeed so. Dorothy, who had only spoken a few words to him, was so frightened that she wanted to cry.
They gathered around Dorothy and comforted her symbolically before asking eagerly.
“Who is that man? Do you know him?”
“He’s so handsome, and he doesn’t look like an ordinary person. Could he be a young master of a noble family? Do you know his name, Dorothy?”
“How do you guys know each other? I’ve never seen him at school before…”
The noisy chatter made Dorothy feel aggrieved and impatient.
“No, he’s just a junior who went to class with me along the way.”
She didn’t say that she was a junior who came to class with Toya.
Although Dorothy had clarified her relationship with Reyes, because she hadn’t mentioned Toya, her words didn’t sound convincing. Moreover, here was even a hint of ambiguity.
If she didn’t know him, how would she know that he was her junior?
Besides, it was too unconvincing to come together just because it was along the way.
They glanced at the ordinary Dorothy and thought back to the man outside the classroom door. They couldn’t help but guess—
Could it be that the prince had fallen in love with Cinderella?
A fairytale in reality?
But when Dorothy returned, she was very aggrieved.
How could a prince who liked Cinderella make her feel so aggrieved?
They pressed on dubiously, but it was obvious that Dorothy didn’t want to say anything.
Reyes only went to the second floor. He found a random lecture room and sat in the last row with his headphones on.
His long legs could barely fit under the table. He didn’t let anyone sit beside him.
Even though he was just lying to Toya about coming to class, he was serious about inviting her to lunch.
But he had never eaten in the cafeteria of his school, so he had to learn about it first.
He could handle such a small matter himself without troubling Culver and the others.
He browsed through the forum of his school and found a few key words.
Then, he saw the announcement that the Student Union was going to hold a gathering.
After knowing that Toya was the vice president of the student union, he was much more sensitive to the words “student union.”
He clicked it to take a look.
The time was the night after tomorrow. The location was the school’s sunken square.
That square was very large and could accommodate many people.
The student council’s notice only mentioned such an activity and didn’t reveal any other information.
However, the students under discussion said that something big would happen during this gathering.
A senior member of the Student Union wanted to confess to another senior member.
There would be fireworks and roses later on to let everyone witness this romantic ceremony.
— Could it be that pair?
— Which couple?
— The pair with the highest ranking in the Student Union, of course!
