Chapter 96: Another Coincidence Meeting
"Ely, why does President Rosie seem so curious about your origins?" Evelyn asked, curious about what had just happened.
"Maybe there is something we don\'t know, and that has sparked President Rosie\'s curiosity. I don\'t like being cornered like that for personal matters." Elysia shook her head.
"Yes, Ely. What you did was right. Suppose you feel the questions are too personal and feel inappropriate. In that case, it makes you uncomfortable, better to answer them straight away with a proper refusal. Otherwise, they won\'t know their boundaries." Ella nodded in agreement.
It had happened the umpteenth time, and she felt the same way, whether friends or not, boy or girl... They sometimes bothered her for various reasons and often made her uncomfortable.
"Um, thanks, Ella. I\'ll put that in my mind." Elysia expressed her gratitude for that.
"Glad to help. By the way, where is your dormitory located?" Ella smiled faintly.
"We\'re in room 9AA."
The three girls chatted lightly on the road, which began to be lit by the street lights. The sun was almost setting on the western horizon. They headed for the AA building located in the outer circle of the northern academy area.
The dormitory building was classic and simple but looked modern, with three floors with one ground floor and a storage area.
As the three cheerful girls walked towards their destination dormitory, a girl with medium long hair and dark auburn color sat irritably on a bench near the AA dorm building. She was accompanied by two of her servants on either side.
Her brown eyes looked left and right, following her head that looked here and there with annoyance. She seemed to be looking for someone or was waiting for someone.
Serena, with Cora, and Nico had visited this dormitory building several times. They even asked the dorm aunt about the occupants of the 9AA dorm room.
Unfortunately, after a few attempts to search and wait almost every three hours since the early morning, the girl they had been looking for hadn\'t returned.
The three of them arrived around seven, half an hour late, when Elysia and Evelyn left for the Holy Cathedral. Serena was about to take Elysia to her mansion based on a suggestion from her servants.
That way, she could freely vent her emotions while hiding the facts for a year. Too naive with half-baked plans, and she didn\'t even know what awaited her.
This was the fifth time she had come here today, and she would wait for fifteen minutes on a bench some distance from the AA building. From there, anyone walking in and out of the building would be clearly seen.
Some time passed with Cora and Nico accompanying her until several girls\' chattering sounds came from the side. The girls had a pleasant chat about food matters.
"Oh my... So with the thin bread dough that is given a variety of toppings from cheese, meat, mushrooms, sauce, and vegetables, we can make a variety of bread with a new type?" Ella got excited as she talked about the new recipe.
"Yes, after we bake. It becomes pizza. Family food that we eat together. You can change the topping as you wish, and it depends on your taste too." Elysia nodded happily after telling a recipe for one of the foods that did not exist in this world.
"How about fish, shellfish and shrimp, or crab?" Evelyn added in the variety that came to her mind.
"Well, that can be added as well but don\'t use too many toppings, and cheese is mandatory. Some fruits might do it too, like olives." Elysia thought for a moment before answering.
"It\'s fascinating, and my interest has increased sharply. We need to make that tomorrow morning, hehe..."
"Sure." Elysia just nodded innocently at Ella, who was imagining a pizza shape. They just had dinner with Pope, a big fish feast. So, it was unlikely they would be eating pizza tonight.
"That\'s great!" Evelyn felt the same way as Ella.
Elysia knew many food recipes that she didn\'t know, and what she did know was most of the things Elysia also knew.
As they were about to walk towards their destination dormitory building, suddenly, three girls led by a girl with a slightly exhausted expression approached and stopped right in front of them.
"Good evening, Miss Elysia and Miss Evelyn. What a coincidence we met here. Can you take a moment?" Serena came and greeted lightly, trying to put on a friendly expression and a virtuous smile.
Ella just smiled silently beside Elysia. The girl who just came ignored and didn\'t even greet her. Maybe, because that girl didn\'t know her or didn\'t even know her at all?
"Good evening for you too." Evelyn answered simply, feeling suspicious.
"Good evening to you too, Miss Serena. Is there anything we can do for you?" Elysia answered with a somewhat complicated smile. People came to greet her for the same reason twice on the same day and for a short time.
"Yes, I have an invitation. I want to invite the two of you to live in the mansion with me. The place is too big to only be occupied by my two servants and me. That way, you no longer need to stay in a silver class dorm room like this."
Serena smiled confidently as if her invitation would be taken for granted by Elysia. If the princess from the north refused, just Elysia was enough for her because that was her main goal and Evelyn just for politeness.
Elysia let out a soft sigh. She didn\'t know what was on this girl\'s mind. Evelyn frowned, but before she could speak, Elysia immediately opened her mouth.
"For all respect and gratitude, forgive me for refusing your invitation, Miss Serena. I do not feel safe to live in such a big place. This girl is used to living in a normal room and quite far from the rush of luxury. If that is the only purpose of your coming, then I will excuse myself. Wish you a beautiful day."
Elysia gave a respectful farewell then walked towards the dormitory building. She was followed by Ella and Evelyn, who did not speak about pleasantries. All the sentences had been represented by Elysia.
Serena felt that she was already annoyed by coming here five times and waiting just for this. She thought it would go smoothly like her typical day, but apparently, it didn\'t go according to her plan.
"How presumptuous you are to refuse my kind offer! I am here specifically and not on just one occasion. It\'s just to invite you after some thoughts! You should be thankful, you country girl!"
Serena snapped as she walked quickly towards Elysia then pulled the latter\'s long black hair from behind. Her mind was tired and irritated. She was only relying on her ego and emotions for the moment.
