She didn’t outright reject Avalynn’s grasp, instead allowing her to guide her to a secluded spot.
They reached a tree, where Grace halted and bluntly asked, “Avalynn, what do you want to say? Say it quickly.”
Her tone was icy, but Avalynn still smiled at her, saying, “You know how I am, Grace. A bit overbearing, sure. Plus, I’m your cousin’s girlfriend. I don’t want any bad blood between us. You get me? I’d like us to be friends.” Avalynn feigned sincerity, admitting, “I know I’ve been wrong before. I’m ready to say sorry and hope you can let it go.”
Grace, detached, eyed Avalynn and replied sharply, “Is this what you dragged me here to talk about?”
A flicker of annoyance crossed Avalynn’s face, yet she reached out again, insisting, “You’re a good person, Grace, not one to hold grudges. Remember the problem I mentioned a few days back? Has the master you know finished it?”
True to Hannah’s word, Avalynn was up to no good, seeking answers from her.
Grace, recalling Hannah’s advice, produced a piece of paper, saying simply, “Yes.”
Avalynn snatched the paper eagerly, scanning the excellent solution.
She was thrilled, sensing her grad school dreams within reach.
Grace watched Avalynn and noticed a crafty smirk on the latter’s face.
Grace felt a sense of unease, yet she concealed it and allowed Avalynn to take the paper.
“Fantastic ” Avalynn exclaimed.
She tucked the paper away with a grin.
“This time, I’ll lay off the arguments and I won’t be a bother in the days to come.”
Grace gave Avalynn a neutral look.
“Let’s hope you stick to that promise.”

Avalynn internally grumbled at Grace, but kept a smile on her face.
“Sure thing, you were a big help. I’ll ease off, no more hassles.
As she spoke, Avalynn gave Grace’s shoulder a friendly pat.
“Got to go now. We’ll catch up later, Grace.”
With a nod from Grace, Avalynn sashayed towards the classroom.
Once Avalynn was gone, Grace turned to leave, but a man suddenly blocked her path.
“Grace, I’ve got a question for you.”
His voice was deep and compelling, yet laced with irritation.
