Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the morning of the students’ departure, 11 buses were parked at the college entrance, and all the freshmen boarded different buses based on their assigned locations.
The special training would last for half a month. All the students brought snacks, personal items, and power banks in large and small bags.
Felicia only carried a backpack with a few changes of underwear, a charger, a needle case, and some emergency medications.
After boarding, Felicia found a seat by the window. The smell of the bus was dizzying, so she put on her headphones and popped a mint into her mouth.
The empty seats gradually filled up.
The noise in the bus grew louder, and the two women in front of Felicia huddled together, animatedly discussing the latest entertainment gossip.
“Hey, did you see it? At that red carpet event last week, so many top-tier celebrities and big names were present, yet the center stage was occupied by a newbie called Abbie. She’s taking the industry by storm!”
“I know! I watched the livestream too. That group of big names pushed that newcomer, Abbie, to the center stage! What’s her background? She used to be a bit of a player and was hardly known!”
“There’s no way! She must have a big shot backing her! Otherwise, how could a nobody like her land leading roles in several major productions and work alongside top-tier male actors?” “Wow, I’m so curious! Who is the big shot behind Abbie?”
The woman on the left leaned in and lowered her voice, saying, “I heard it’s a big shot from Seldvale, a global billionaire!”
Catching those two keywords, Felicia opened her eyes and took off her headphones, which she hadn’t yet connected to music.
A big shot from Seldvale, a global billionaire.
It had to be Stephan!
Felicia suddenly understood. No wonder there had been no news from Stephan after he left Khogend She had been on edge, fearing he might come back to haunt her one day. Now, it turned out he was busy paving the way for the person he cared about.
Great! With this, Stephan probably wouldn’t return to Khogend or think of her, a nobody. The incident with the scar cream could be buried in the past. Felicia put her headphones back on and played a cheerful song.
The women in the front cleared their
in th
throats and continued, “People like those unreachable big shots are like giants who tower over everyone else. The rumor might not be true. We shouldn’t take everything we hear to heart.”
Then, the two women leaned together again, engrossed in their gossiping.
The bus engine had started, and there was a slight vibration and bumping of the vehicle. Combined with the stereo surround audio, Felicia started to feel drowsy. Though her eyes were closed, she sensed someone sitting next to her.
For a moment, the commotion in the bus seemed to quiet down, only to erupt again.
Felicia didn’t pay much attention and just shifted positions to continuecher nap. Soon, the bus started moving, and beams of sunlight streamed in, shining on her face.
Felicia opened her eyes and turned her face away, only to find that the person sitting next to her reading a book was none other than Arnold. What the heck?
Felicia was taken aback and blurted out, “What are you doing here?”
Arnold replied coldly, “This is an event I’m sponsoring and the bus I arranged. Is there a problem with me being here?”
Felicia did not know what to say to that.
