Chapter 369
Campbell turned down the handshake, but Morwenna, eager to express her gratitude, splurged on a $30 gourmet gelato for him. Holding the gelato, Campbell made a point to video call his brother to brag a little.
Matthew couldn't help but remark on his little brother's incredible luck.
After her afternoon classes, for the first time, Morwenna didn't head to the library.
Instead, she joined her dorm mates to check out her new venture.
"Pretty cool, huh?" Morwenna beamed with excitement.
Keira immediately nodded, grabbing a rag to start cleaning.
Lorna was more skeptical, "This spot's so prime; it's odd it was just handed to you for free. There must have been others interested." Morwenna explained, "The dean wants to support students who work and study. Campbell picked out the best spot for me."
Dahlia stayed quiet, thinking how with Stuart's backing, it was easy for Morwenna to snag such perks.
Keira paused, rag in hand, noticing Dahlia's disdainful look.
She was sure now; Dahlia harbored no goodwill towards Morwenna.
Though unsure why, Keira was certain she was on Morwenna's side.
Lorna and Morwenna missed Dahlia's expression.
Joining in, Lorna rolled up her sleeves, "Stop rambling and go buy some cleaning supplies. We have old bookshelves to move after this."
Morwenna obediently nodded, "Okay, I'll be quick. Thanks, everyone."
Dahlia, feeling out of place amidst the mess, saw her chance to talk to Morwenna alone.
"I'll come with you to buy the stuff," she offered quickly.
Keira chimed in, "I'll come too, Wenna! I want to help."Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
She was wary of Dahlia's intentions towards Morwenna.
Morwenna hurriedly replied, "No need, I can manage just fine."
Lorna scoffed, "We're just buying a broom, not a cannon. Morwenna can handle a whole cart of deliveries; she won't need an entourage for this."
It was meant in jest, but it settled the matter.
Left behind, Dahlia reluctantly donned gloves and half-heartedly wiped the windows.
Lorna noticed Dahlia's lackluster effort but considering her usual lack of chores, let it slide.
Soon, Morwenna returned with cleaning supplies, and together, they had the place sparkling in an hour.
Dahlia never got her moment alone with Morwenna.
Frustrated, she seized the next opportunity, "I'll help you move the bookshelves."
Lorna looked at her as if she'd lost her mind, "Dahlia, are you okay today? You can barely lift a chair, let alone a bookshelf."
Red-faced and without a comeback, Dahlia's real intention was just to talk to Morwenna.
So, Lorna and Morwenna left to move the shelves, leaving Dahlia and Keira for a second round of cleaning.
Dahlia, distracted, finally asked, "Keira, are you and Morwenna close?"
