It was finally the last period of the day, and it was self-study time. Lu Xia asked for a leave from her class advisor, Wei Mingzhe, telling him that she had to go for practice.
Wei Mingzhe disapproved of students leaving early, but considering the improvement in Lu Xia's grades, he allowed it.
Lu Xia stepped out of the school gates and felt a lot better after suppressing her feelings for the whole day. She put on her mask and shades and stood at the road. She retrieved her phone and looked for Huo Tingrui's number.
Her fingertips hovered over it before she dialed the number.
Huo Tingrui was in court, so he had handed his phone to his assistant for safekeeping. Since his assistant knew how much Huo Tingrui valued privacy, he did not answer the phone when Lu Xia's non-work-related call came in.
Lu Xia called twice in a row, but no one answered, so she stopped trying any further. Hidden behind the sunglasses, her eyes turned dark.
