Chapter 8 Misunderstanding
Sterling seemed to have not heard what Audrey said.
He sat straight and crouched under the desk with Audrey.
He picked up the ball of paper with his beautiful long fingers and slowly unfolded it.
Audrey wanted to grab it back, but Sterling extended his other hand and pressed his palm against her forehead, preventing her from getting closer.
His palm was as cold as his face.
Out of the corner of her eye, Audrey saw Sterling unfold the paper and glance at what was written on it. She closed her eyes and sighed bitterly in her heart.
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Audrey knew very well that she couldn’t mend their relationship in a short time.
But she wouldn’t allow the misunderstanding between them to deepen.
“Listen...”
Sterling glimpsed Audrey with deep eyes and smiled coldly, “Do you plan to reject me after seducing me?” As the two were very close, Sterling could smell a faint scent.
It was Audrey’s, but not from any unpleasant makeup or perfume.
Sterling’s eyes fell on Audrey’s makeup-free face.
Audrey had tender skin.
She was usually uncool with heavy makeup, but now she looked ethereal.
Unaware of the deep look flashing through Sterling’s eyes, Audrey knitted her brows as she found it pretty hard to explain.
The geography teacher noticed something unusual behind him and knocked on the podium. “What are you guys doing in the last row?”
Audrey's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to stand up, but Sterling chucked her under the chin.
He moved closer to her.
Audrey smelt Sterling’s refreshing scent. His handsome face was right in front of her. She was forced to look into his eyes. “Audrey.” He gritted his teeth. He called Audrey by her name for the first time and warned, “Don’t provoke me again, you know?” As the teacher was about to reach the last row, Sterling sat down in his chair.
“What did your guys do just now?”
Audrey stood up with a stiff face. She was embarrassed and nervous, but Sterling looked calm. He stood up slowly from his chair, his hands in his pockets, and squinted at the teacher. “She confessed her feelings for me,” he sneered with a faint smile on his face. “But | rejected her. A flatterer like her doesn’t deserve my love.”
All the students at Elsa Noble High School knew who Audrey liked.
The classroom fell silent for a few seconds, followed by a burst of laughter.
The teacher looked at the two weakest students in the class with a stern expression and asked, “Audrey, is what Sterling said true?”
Audrey clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and nodded. She replied in a crisp voice, “Yes.”
The teacher looked at Audrey, who had a pretty face but was arrogant and unruly, and snapped, “Go stand outside. You don’t need to attend this class!”
“Okay, no problem,” Audrey agreed with a sweet smile.

Watching Audrey walking toward the door, Sterling narrowed his eyes. No one could tell what he was thinking. Audrey stood outside the classroom until class was over. The teacher brought her to the office and reprimanded her. Elsa Noble High School was a day school. It was time to finish school.
Almost all the students in Class 10 had left. Patrick looked at Audrey with worry at the door of the classroom. “Audrey, are you okay? | heard from Mabel that you changed your plan, but there was no need to let the teacher know!”
“Wait for me at the coffee shop. I'll talk to you later.” Audrey glanced at Sterling, who was playing a mobile game on his chair with his knees spread widely apart, and walked toward him.
