Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Chapter 121: Chapter 74 Familiar Name_2

"Have you called yet?"

"No, not many people have her number." The classmate beside shook their head.

At this, Jones suddenly spoke up loudly, "Who has Hexia's number? Ask what's going on."

The boys mostly shook their heads, while several girls couldn't help but look towards Lina.

Lina had interacted with Hexia the most among the girls before.

"Why are you looking at me? She's a young lady, how could she care about someone like me, huh~" Lina frowned and turned away.

Just when the scene was about to become awkward, a girl whispered something in Lina's ear. Her expression changed, as if she had thought of something interesting, and she changed her mind.

"Alright, I'll call and ask her to hurry over."

She took out the new personal terminal she had bought from beside her; amidst a dazzling display of purple light, a projection opened up, visible to everyone.

"Dudu——dudu——" The dialing sound began.

Clara, who had been browsing forums like Starweb in the corner, furrowed her brow, switched pages, and sent a message to Hexia.

[Don't answer the call, it's nothing good.]

Soon, the call timed out. There was no response from the other side, and Lina felt embarrassed in front of everyone, displeased.

"We'll ask later, I think she did it on purpose, hmph."

"Hey, isn't it a shame she won't come to the rare graduation get-together?"

"Forget it, forget it. She's a good student, the future big doctor, of course, she has the privilege to look down on us."

"Maybe she's lying in a hotel with someone right now. I once saw from a distance Hexia dressed as a maid entering Topstar Tower. I wasn't sure if it was her, but thinking back now, it must have been her."

"Ah, she's playing that wild?"

"Who knows? Maybe she figured out that no matter how hard she studies, it isn't as fast as earning money this way, hehe."

There was a buzz of discussion among the crowd. Hearing such gossip sparked curiosity, and they asked about the situation at Topstar Tower.

"I've only been to the 28th floor of Topstar Tower for sightseeing, and that's only open at specific times. Above that, it's said to be the high-end spot of Payin City, where some city officials even temporarily reside."

"Not sure, I've only heard a bit from my dad. Topstar Tower is supposedly funded by the government. The top floor has equipment to monitor the entire city area and has high security. Many rich people and bureaucrats frequent it; it has all kinds of facilities."

"Ah, so that's how it is. I usually have no clue."

"It's normal that you don't know, it's too expensive there. I heard just sitting casually costs a few thousand Federation Coins; clearly a rip-off."

"Speaking of which, what was Hexia doing there? Really doing that?"

"I don't know, but think about it. She's not someone from a very wealthy family, and you don't see her with rich friends or relatives. She must be up to no good there."

"Now that you mention it, it does seem so. Sigh, I used to think Hexia had a good figure, though she always wore thick glasses and her hair was always tightly covered, so you couldn't see her face clearly."

"I should've pulled her glasses off to have a look, considering she wouldn't dare resist."

"Didn't Lina used to sit next to her? She should have photos."

"But looking at Lina's recent behavior, it seems she has had a fight with Hexia."

"Actually, I heard that Hexia and Lina fought over a man," someone said in a lower voice.

"Ah, what's this news now? Tell me more."

"I'm not sure about the details; it's from the girls' side. Anyway, one day Lina was out shopping with her boyfriend and called a few classmates, Hexia was also there, and then her boyfriend started to like Hexia."

"Oh, so there's such a thing? Could it be Hexia is actually pretty?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, and it was not until the main course arrived that they gradually changed the topic.

During the dinner, Jones and a bunch of boys toasted and drank, while on the girls' side, Lina stood with her hands on her hips, so angry she couldn't even eat.

It was as if she, Lina, was even inferior to Hexia, unable to keep her own boyfriend, morphing from the big-sister image to a jealous woman scorned and stolen from.

"Come on, calm down, Lina. Have something to eat."

Dudu tried to comfort her on the side. She felt that today's situation was a bit off, after all, other than Hexia, only she and Mili were present that day; it wouldn't be good if Lina started suspecting her.

Actually, she wasn't a blabbermouth. She had only mentioned it to two or three people; after all, it was quite an interesting topic.

"Heh."

Lina let out a cold laugh, pushed Dudu aside, and shot her a glare, deciding not to bother with her for now.

After that, she picked up her personal terminal and started typing a message. The purple light danced at her fingertips as she input a long string of words. It was full of sarcasm and not only accused Hexia of ingratitude but also claimed she thought of you as a friend, invited you for meals, went out together, and now you turn your face and don't recognize people. In the end, she added, if you Hexia have a repentant heart and still know shame, you must come today and apologize, clearing things up.

Not answering the phone, huh? Thinking you can just escape like that, like a hamster or an ostrich, hehe.

After editing the message and hitting send, Lina put the personal terminal back in her pocket, feeling much refreshed.

She knew Hexia, knew what the introverted girl valued. If you scorn her, she wouldn't react much, but if you accused her of being ungrateful and morally blackmailed her, she wouldn't be able to escape.
