Chapter 1038 She didn't have the energy to argue with Arabella any longer. The nauseating feeling was rising, and in her frustration, she spun on her heel and stormed off.

Her friends covered their noses, “We didn't smell anything off. Did Arabella say you stank? Don't listen to her nonsense. You don't smell bad at all. Urgh, Not at all." Despite their reassurances, they kept their distance, merely standing by the entrance of the restroom.
Meanwhile, Arabella left Summerfield College and hailed a cab, heading directly to place.
Mya, still in shock, felt like she was being followed. She hurried back to her dorm, recalling the moment when Arabella hugged her and seemingly wrote something on her back with her fingertips.

May | ask who you are and when you scheduled a meeting with our CEO?" “Just putthrough to your CEO. It's an urgent matter. If it's delayed, you'll surely be fired!
