It would have felt pretty awkward otherwise.
Lydia just smiled. “No worries, there’s another car.”
“Huh? Another car?”
Lydia nodded. “Yep.”
Once they stepped out of the school gates and rounded the corner, Fiona and Monica spotted a line of cars waiting by the curb. What really caught their attention was the car at the front—a Rolls-Royce. And not just any Rolls-Royce. If they were seeing right, it was a super rare, limited edition. Only three of them existed in the whole world.
Aiden rolled down his window and called out to the driver of the Rolls-Royce. “Go pick up Luke.”
“Yes, sir.”
Fiona and Monica stared, totally stunned. Were all these people here because of Lydia’s boyfriend? Who exactly was he? They both wanted to ask, but neither dared to say a word.
They all headed out to pick up Luke. Just as they were on their way, Lydia’s phone rang. It was Juna.
“Lydia, want to hit up a bar tonight? It’s been ages. I’m losing my mind at school, I need to check out some cute guys. What do you think, you free?”
The air in the car instantly turned icy. Fiona honestly felt like the temperature had just dropped.
Sure enough, Connor spoke up, his voice cold and sharp. “She’s not free.”
He sounded like he was about to grind his teeth into dust.
On the other end, Juna’s heart skipped a beat. She slapped a hand over her mouth to keep from squealing out loud.
“Oh, Connor’s there? Haha, I was just joking. Babe, if you’re busy, don’t worry about it.”
Juna was about to hang up, but Lydia spoke up. “If you’re bored, come have dinner with us.”
Juna paused for only a second before she agreed. “Okay!”
