Chapter 19
“That woman is not simple, with her coquettish appearance, trying to steal your boyfriend. Shameless!” Carrie snorted.
“I think that woman is quite good–looking.” Wendy said. “Shella, you better watch out for your boyfriend. What if he gets stolen?”
“No way! Shelia’s boyfriend loves her so much. He won’t be stolen by that kind of woman,” Carrie said.
“Thank you for your concern, guys. Don’t worry. My boyfriend and I will be fine,” Shelia smiled.
“I heard that woman is coming to our school to study finance. I guess she’s coming after you,” Wendy said.
“What?” Shelia was taken aback.
She found it hard to believe.
“It’s true, I asked some students from the admissions office. She was accompanied by the president and vice–president, obviously from a wealthy family. Probably trying to use connections,” Wendy explained.
“What’s her identity then? Our school has never lacked wealthy students,” Carrie said.
“I don’t know, but even if someone is wealthy, they haven’t been received by the president and vice- president like her, so she must be extraordinary,” Wendy replied.
“She’s so beautiful and wealthy, yet she wants to steal someone else’s boyfriend. Strange.”
Their discussions made Shelia uneasy.
If Debra came to study at Arcane Academy, then all her lies would be exposed.
Shelia associated Juan’s departure in the morning with this matter.
Just then, her phone rang.
Shelia went outside to answer it
“The nurse said you’ve been discharged. What happened?” Juan sounded concerned.
“I was worried about missing classes, so I came back. Shelia replied.
“Studying matters, but your health matters more. Don’t go to class just yet. I’ll ask Joe to help you with a leave of absence,” Juan advised.
Shelia hesitated and asked, “I heard that Debra is coming to study at Arcane Academy. Is it true?”
“Who told you?” Juan asked:
“My roommates,” Shelia replied. “They saw a pretty examinee at the school gate, and you received a call related to Debra, so I thought that Debra might be coming to our school.”
“She acted on her own. I won’t help her. Don’t worry about this matter. Just focus on recovering,” Juan reassured her.

Shelia breathed a sigh of relief.
Without Juan’s help, Debra wouldn’t be able to pass the entrance exam.
“There’s one more thing.”
“Go ahead.”
“My birthday is the day after tomorrow. Can I invite you to dinner?” Shelia asked expectantly.
“Sure.”
With Juan’s agreement, Shelia’s face lit up with joy.
In previous years, Juan always celebrated her birthday. This year, because of Debra, she had to prepare early.
