I've been the center of attention all day for reasons I don't know at all. No one's been talking to me all day. There were only pitiful and concerned gazes that people kept pointing at me.
I didn't even see Giovano today. The guy who used to stick to me is somehow invisible these days.
“Please once.”
“I can't imagine what if I were in his current position.”
I continued to hear the whispering voice in a worried, concerned and pitying tone to me. But no one dared to tell me the reason directly. I was really confused.
The voice of the people who previously seemed to pity me suddenly turned into a voice filled with scorn as Lucy flashed through the corridor. He who has indeed become ‘public enemy’ on campus at this time, seems to have just made a new problem seeing the terrible atmosphere at this time.
“He still dare to come to campus? Really thick-faced.”
“If he is not thick-faced, there is no way he will make such a post.”
I was silent for a moment trying to digest the situation around me at this moment.
“Truly disgusting. Isn't she just as cheap as her mom?”
Lucy's steps suddenly stopped. He retreated his footsteps and shone a sharp spotlight on the female student who had just said it.
“What did you just say? Huh!? Try telling me in front of me if you dare!” he said by raising his tone.
The atmosphere that had indeed been chaotic ever since the girl crossed the corridor, became even hotter as she snapped at the person who had just blasphemed her. Not staying silent, almost everyone in the corridor at that time shouted at Lucy with various swear sentences.
He who had dared to bully his opponent, suddenly became shrivelled. He immediately turned around and ran out of the corridor with an expression full of anger.
As soon as he passed me, he stopped his footsteps and looked at me with guts. I who did not accept it stared intently at him.
“Your satisfaction?!” ask her a little bit.
Not yet had I returned the words, Alexander appeared out of nowhere and took me away from the crowd who were scorning Lucy. Their attention shifted from Lucy to me and Alexander.

“You all right?” alexander asked after stopping his steps and turned to look at me.
I frowned at my confused forehead.
“I'm fine. What's with everyone today?”
The man took a breath and then exhaled it. I could see the man looked calmer than before.
“You've seen today's news?”
“Huh?”
I was silent for a moment. I took my phone out of the bag. The phone is still dead.
Turn on the phone and find out the news that is circulating at this time. The quickest way is to look at my social media while hoping for the news to pass on the homepage of my account.
Drrr... Drrr...
I haven't had a chance to find any horrendous news today, a phone came into my phone. It was from my father. I immediately picked it up.
“Halo.”
“Where are you?” ask dad.
His voice seemed worried. I'm sure he knows something.
“On campus,” I said.
“The mastermind behind the poisoning experiment a few days ago is already known,” he said.
“Who?” I asked nervously.
“Lucy and his mother. They bribed the maid to mix a considerable amount of arsenic powder into your drinking water. That amount could even kill you.”
I knew Lucy and her mother hated me, but I never thought they would do that in my own home.
“Lantas why is Lucy still roaming the campus?” my many.
I could hear my father breathing deeply.
“Police is looking for him at the moment. His mother was taken to the police station to be investigated. I don't know why Lucy's still hanging around your campus. Then..”
My father hung up his words. I frowned at me.
“Then what?”
“About Timothee and Lucy, are you okay?”
I laughed blandly. I don't know how could that middle-aged man turn from continuing to defend Timothee suddenly be on my side.
“What are they why? Didn't you not believe what I said last time?”
There was no answer from the man.
I was sure Lucy had done something about him and Timothee until my father lost his trust in the man.
“We talk again after you get home,” he said, then end his phone call.
I was silent while staring at the floor. I don't even know what to say right now.
My gaze turned towards Alexander who was looking at me anxiously at this moment. He must know something, but I'm not really sure to ask him. I don't know why there's a part of my heart that feels a little doubtful.
The fact that Lucy and her mother bribed a maid in my house to poison me alone sounds horrible to me. I wasn't quite ready to hear what was going on with him and Timothee until people kept staring at me with pity all day.
“You want me to take you home?” tanyakanya.
“Not necessary. I brought a car,” reject me.
Alexander seemed not very satisfied with my answer. He held both of my shoulders and aligned his gaze with mine.
“I heard earlier that Lucy and her mother tried to poison you. There's no way I'm letting you go home alone when Lucy's still roaming free like now.”
“Then what about my car?” my many.
“I'll ask someone to take her to your house.”
No more rebuttals came out of my mouth. I followed Alexander walking towards his car. I also hesitated to go home alone in this kind of situation. It's not impossible that Lucy's back planning a murder for me.
It's safer if I go home with Alexander. After all, he could not be that determined until he dared to target the life of the heir to JJ Group who had a very big influence at this time.
Drrr... Drrr...
My phone is back vibrating. A phone call came in. I fell silent knowing who was calling me.
“Why not lift?” ask Alexander.
“From Timothee,” I said while still staring at my phone screen.
The man took my phone and refused a phone call from Timothee. I could see flashes of anger from his gaze.
“Don't mind that jerk guy!”
I just fell silent and followed him leading me into his car. He drove his car out of my faculty parking lot.
