Chapter 27

I noticed Samuel paused for a moment, his eyes flashing with a mix of pity and mockery. The pity was because I was such an easy fish to catch. The mockery? That was reserved for my supposed delusions about him. Beyond that, there was an emotion I couldn't quite discern, something fleeting that he quickly suppressed. I repeated myself. "Can you do it, Samuel?" "No woman around me has ever dared to make such a request. My last girlfriend? She made it her mission to win over everyone around me, including Yvie." I smirked. "Then, by all means, go chase her back. Let her charm Yvette to her heart's content." With that, I tapped my cane lightly and tilted my head to determine the direction. I started heading toward the dormitory. Along the way, I stumbled a few times, nearly tripping over uneven tiles. The road leading back to the dorm wasn't easy to navigate, and I had to maintain the appearance of a blind person. Falling just short of actually hitting the ground was part of the act.
