Chapter 232: Bad Timing!

Ella could feel her heart racing and her breath quickening as Leon was rounding up, reading the letter. She desperately wanted to look up but anytime she did, she was met with Marissa's cold stares.

Although she tried to focus her heart on what Leon was reading, her mind kept drifting and wondering why Marissa seemed unwaveringly focused on her.

It felt as though Marissa was monitoring all her emotional displays while searching for a weak spot.

This made Ella feel breathless and in need of some personal space and fresh air.

'Why did Leon have to choose a seat opposite his mum?' she questioned her thoughts angrily. 'Couldn't he have chosen somewhere less tormenting?'

As Ella continued to stare into her blank phone feeling two pairs of judgemental eyes weighing and scaling her, she suddenly felt her full bladder push down.

"Shit! Bad timing!" She mumbled and sighed inwardly.
