Feeling pain, Addison quickly asked for help, “Elise, find the dorm manager and call the police!”
“Stay there and don‘t move!“As Miller said that, she tightened her grip, making the other scream out in
pain.
“Stop!” At once, Elise exclaimed. “There must be some misunderstanding between the two of you. We‘r
e roommates, not enemies…”
“Roommates?”
“No way!”
Both Addison and Miller screamed in sync before they looked at each other with hatred and contempt.
“Elise, are you serious? It‘s only been a few days since you last came to school. How could you have fo
rgotten how many roommates we have? Look at this person. The way she dresses is so shady. How co
uld she be from our school?” Addison added.
Hearing that, Miller retracted her neck slightly before she took a
glance at her outfit. She donned a leather shirt, leather pants, and knee–
high leather boots. She‘d prefer to say that it was a bold style she had and was nothing close to a shad
y person.
The contempi between the two continued to brew as none of them would take a step back.
Feeling
helpless, Elise could only start from Miller. “You can let go of Addison first. I‘ll take responsibility if anyth
ing happens.”
Since Miller was here to protect Elise, she‘d likely listen to Elise.
Just as Elise predicted, Miller obediently let go of Addison without showing any changes in her expressi
on. After that, Miller took a few steps back to distance herself from Addison.
Upon gaining the freedom of movement, Addison quickly went to Elise‘s side and hugged her arm befor
e scrutinizing Miller again. She then said with doubt, “You‘re really our new roommate?”
Looking at the two of them expressionlessly, Miller only noticed the look that Elise
was giving her. Immediately, Miller understood what she wanted to convey. Thus, she reached for the b
ag from the bed before fishing out the student identification card that she had just gotten. The
card was then passed to Addison. “Affirmative.”
Taking it over with both her hands, Addison started flipping it back and forth to check it. She seemed ev
en more serious than a police officer at work, showing just how badly she didn‘t trust Miller.
Needless to say, it was rude to do so. Elise then pulled Addison to a side and hinted for her to cut it out.
Obviously, Addison understood what Elise
was trying to say. She then returned it back to Miller before apologizing. “I‘m sorry that I‘ve misundersto
od you. However, you really don‘t look like a student.”
Nevertheless, Miller did not reply. She simply turned around and started organizing her things.
Thinking that she was probably mad at her, Addison took the initiative to make up. “You‘re Miller, right?
I didn‘t mean to be mean to you. We‘re roommates now, so don‘t hesitate to let me know if there‘s anyt
hing that I can help you with.”
Regardless, Miller didn‘t reply. She proceeded to take out another cigarette from a cigarette box before
twirling it before her fingers.
Out of instinct, Addison commented, “You can‘t smoke in the dorm…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she trailed off to not make things
even more awkward than it already was. Adding extra
comments now would definitely be detrimental to their relationship.
Al that moment, the atmosphere became even more suffocating compared to when they were arguing
Elise, who was watching their
interaction from the sidelines, felt that the situation was amusing as she thought Addison was just a stra
ightforward person who had yet to become mature enough not to judge a person by their looks.
As a cold and introverted person, Miller wouldn‘t be too warm even without the misunderstanding earlie
r. However, what happened had happened. In Addison‘s eyes, Miller must be holding a grudge against
her for the trouble she had caused.
However, Elise couldn‘t bear to see
Addison suffer like that. Hence, she decided to help out. “Miller, Addison is a nice person. Don‘t take wh
at happened earlier to heart.”
Hearing what Elise said, Miller made an effort to explain, “That‘s just how I am. I‘m not used to being cl
ose to people, so don‘t mind me.”
At once, Addison smiled after hearing Miller speak up. Following that, she replied in a sympathetic man
ner, “Don‘t worry, I‘m not a social butterfly either. I don‘t like socializing with people, but maybe not as b
ad as you do. It‘s fine, I‘ll cover for you in the future!”
Hearing that, Miller hummed in response but her emotions were just too hard to read.
Nevertheless, the ice between them had been broken since they had communicated. So, it was time to
leave the past in the past.
As Elise planned to treat Addison to dinner later, she took the chance to welcome Miller. Thus, the thre
e of them went to a restaurant that served food at a reasonable price..
Both Elise and Miller didn‘t have much preference toward food, so the job of placing the order fell on Ad
dison.
Though Addison had previously announced that she would order everything she wanted to eat at Elise‘
s treat, she felt otherwise after seeing the price of the dishes on the menu. “Elise, their food seems a liu
le expensive. How about we choose another restaurant? I don‘t want you to go bankrupt after buying m
e a meal…” Addison said as she recalled that she hadn‘t eaten anything since
last night. At that moment, she was so hungry that she could devour a whole cow.
With a chuckle, Elise replied, “That‘s not necessary. I can still afford to buy you a meal. Just eat to your
heart‘s content. Who knows? I may look to you for your notes
to copy again.”
“Waiter”
“If that‘s the case, I‘ll just go ahead. Excuse me, waiter. I‘d like to order this, this…”
In the end, the table was filled with dishes. Elise and Miller simply ate a little while watching Addison ea
t.
When Elise was touching up her makeup by applying a layer of lipstick, she saw something from the si
de of her eye that made her frown.
It was only this afternoon that she had given Johan a lesson. And yet, the jerk had a new partner and w

. Shaking her head, Elise convinced herself that she should just turn a blind eye and
not bother the crazy dog.
Just as she was turning her gaze away, Janice suddenly came up in the picture, blocking Johan from wa
Just like that, the trio began to argue near the counter. Obviously, Johan treated Janice as if she was the

Fortunately, one of the waiters was quick to give her a hand and saved her from falling to the ground. He

At this moment, Elise couldn‘t just sit and watch any longer. So, she walked over in a haste and protecte
“Elise?” Janice was surprised to see her there. “I‘m fine.”
Not bothering to speak logic into Janice, Elise turned to ask Johan, “Are
you even a man? How could you do that to the mother of your child?”
“What nonsense are you saying?” Johan still didn‘t know that Janice was pregnant.
“You didn‘t tell him yet?” Elise directed the question to Janice.
With a shake of her head, Janice replied, “No. I haven‘t found the time to.”
“Come here with me.” Johan let go of his partner before saying that to Janice. Then, he made his way o
With a happy expression on her face, Janice followed suit.
Looking at the back of her figure, Elise felt worried.
At this moment, Miller appeared all of a sudden and gave Elise a gentle reminder.
“There‘s a price to pay for getting involved in others‘ business. I hope that you will not get us into trouble
After saying that, Miller went in the direction of the washroom.
Though Elise knew that Miller meant well, she couldn‘t forget about
the innocent child that Janice bore. After hesitating for a moment, Elise still felt very concerned, so she l
