NovelEnglishChapter 0136 ASHANTI'S POV.
I cried.
I cried hard as I returned the bracelet to its place in the locker. Tessa threw it away. That was supposed to be a symbol of my love for her as my friend. A symbol of my appreciation for all the times she stood by me, but she threw it away.
I'm upset, but not at her because I know Tessa would never decide to do any of these things on her own. Someone is brainwashing her or setting her up to do these things and this person seems to have something big on her.
This is ridiculous.
"There goes your meal." Kylie, one of the H a r girls who rushed to servethe moment I walked into the cafeteria, announces as she puts the tray containing the plates of food on the table before me. I look up at her and smile thankfully.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Thank you, Kylie." "You are welcome. Callif you need anything else." Then she whisks off to join her friends at their own table. I look around the cafeteria and smile as I watch the rest of the girls laughing and chatting away as they eat their food. The atmosphere is no longer tense. I can't hear anyone saying vile things about me. Lately, all they do is appreciate me, especially after what I did to Rhea in the laundry room a few days ago. I only have to cough right now and at least three of them will rush to me, ready to serve me.
It's cool and terrifying at the stime.
My heart pangs with pain when I spot Tessa. She's sitting at a far corner of the room, all alone, eating her food. She doesn't look happy at all and that makesthink all the more that someone is influencing her behavior towards me.
I feel sorry for her.
"Ashanti!" I thought this moment won't cwhen someone would scream my nout loud. It always happens.
I don't even bother to look at who just called my name. I focus on taking a scoop of my food and chewing as gently as I can, waiting for whoever it is who called my nto arrive at my table. She finally does and when I look up to see who it is, I am surprised to see that it's one of the girls who resides at the Premium Residence. She's fuming, like I've done something to upset her.
"Linda." I call, calmly.
"You thieving piece of garbage! I thought when people's statuses get upgraded, their attitudes do same, but I guess I was wrong. You brought your klepto attitude to the Premium Residence. How dare you!" I squint in confusion as I try to understand what she's talking about.
She calleda thieving piece of garbage. She said I had a klepto attitude. I rise from my seat +15 BONUS to level her height. Now I'm frowning.
"How about you hit the nail on the head already?" "How dare you cinto my bedroom and steal my necklace?" She scolds in my face and the entire hall is filled with gasps from the other girls. I am completely taken aback by her sudden accusation.
"I know nothing about your necklace." "Yes, you do. You stole it!" "Linda, I will let this very disrespectful tone of yours slide, but not the accusation. I did not steal your godd ned necklace, so go find it where you kept it and stop causing a scene!" I fire back at her and her eyes widen in shock. She backs away and givesa careful look before chuckling.
She chuckles hard, for a long tbefore stopping and training her eyes onagain.
"Did you... did you just talk back at me?" "Why? Am I not allowed to do that?" I ask with creased brows.
"What's going on here?" We both turn to look in the direction of the voice and my heart sinks when I see Ma'am Lisa walking towards us with an eternal frown masked on her face. "Why are you girls screaming at each other? Can't you see you're making it impossible for the others. to eat their meals?" "Ma'am Lisa. You need to punish this girl severely. She's a thief! She cinto my bedroom and stole my necklace while I was away!" A chuckle tumbles from my lips as I look at the girl in total disbelief. Ma'am Lişa looks at me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ashanti. Do you have any idea what she's talking about?" "No Ma'am." I calmly shake my head.
"Liar! She's lying!" Linda shouts out.
"Be quiet!" Ma'am Lisa commands and the girls goes mute. Ma'am Lisa looks fromto the girl and sighs heavily before saying, "Both of you, cwith me!" Then she starts walking that leads out of the cafeteria. Linda and I exchange murderous glares before towards the following her.
As we walk to the building, I can't help but feel scared about this situation even though I have no om intention of showing that fear. If Linda is accusingso confidently, it means she has planted the necklace among my belongings in my closet and when they go to search, they'll find it there just like they did with Rhea's jewellery. I'm seriously doomed.
"When they go through your stuff and find my necklace, you're going to be demoted back to the Hrm quarters where you belong!" Linda sneers as we both step Into to the elevator. I don't say anything to her. The door closes and the elevator starts ascending and I do the only thing I can do at this moment. X
