Chapter 116 "Thanks, officer. We'll handle it privately." I signed the paperwork the police officer handedand walked out of the interrogation room.

Honestly, legal proceedings were way too complicated, and I didn't want to waste ton something so trivial.

By the tI left, the gossip had already spread around campus. As I walked, I could feel numerous eyes following me.

But I didn't care-after all, I wasn't the one getting dragged. Speople were going to have a much harder time. Not long after, the professor calledto her office.

She still had that stern look on her face. "Evelyn, I know you've been wronged today. The university plans to issue a public reprimand against Leah, but we also hope this situation doesn't escalate any further." I blinked and played innocent. "But didn't you say she would apologize to me? A public reprimand is what she deserves, but what about me? Am I just supposed to let it go after being falsely accused? I want a public apology." I must've sounded too sincere because the professor was momentarily speechless. She seemed a bit embarrassed. "Well, I'll discuss it with Leah and the university administration again. We'll make sure you're satisfied with the outcome." "Thank you," I replied and left the office without another word, not caring about the gaze that followed me.

When I got back to my dorm, it was already past 9:00 pm. It had been a tiring day, and with a shift at Eren's stutomorrow, I decided to turn in early.

On the other side of campus, Ethan had just learned what had happened when Leah cornered him on the path. "Ethan, I'm in a bit of trouble. Can you help me?" she asked, her eyes brimming with tears.

Ethan didn't need to think twice to know what this was about. His voice was filled with impatience. "Oh? And how is that my problem?" Leah was visibly stunned, unsure whether to cry or hold it in. She had to force back her tears that were already on the verge of falling. Not wanting to waste any more time, Ethan turned and walked away.

"Ethan, you wouldn't want Grandpa to worry about me, right? You know he'd be upset if he found out," Leah stammered, starting to lose control of her words in her desperation.

But Ethan didn't even bother responding, disappearing from her sight entirely.

The next morning, I packed up and headed to the studio. Lately, Eren had taken on a new runway project, so things had been pretty hectic.

"Eren, I've got a new design..." I stopped as soon as I saw Ethan sitting in the office. His gaze om darkened the moment he saw me. Thinking about what had happened the other day, I felt my face heat up and instinctively wanted to turn and leave, But then, I stopped myself. Why was I feeling guilty? Why should I be the one hiding?

Eren smiled as he took my design and Let's sea sketch from my hands. "Let's see what our star designer has created this time."

I forced myself to focus on what Eren was saying, trying to shift myo m attention away from Ethan. But it was impossible to concentrate fully. I could feel it-the intense heat of his gaze followingthe entire time.
