[BONUS]
When Silvia, Lucia, and Pamela left, chaos exploded in the room, and everyone talked about Silvia's big birthday bash.
Everyone was excited because it was a whole day event — that also meant overnight together with friends and lovers!
It was an anticipated birthday of the year and could also be considered as one of Golden Phoenix's biggest publicity.
"Are you going?" Evie asked Ren amidst the voices ringing in the air.
"I don't know." Ren shrugged. "You?"
Evie was silent for a moment, seemingly pondering her choice. "I don't know. I won't know anyone there except you, so I probably won't."
'Then I'm not going,' Ren thought to himself. He wasn't keen on big parties anyway. And partying with strangers wasn't exactly his idea of relaxation and fun.
Although . . . It was a shame that he wouldn't be able to see Evie in a swimsuit. For him, that was the only thing worthy of his regret.
Ren kept the invitation just in case, and Evie did the same.
Ren flashed a smirk and then laughed a little. "Do you seriously think that . . . I still need to go to school when I am already making a fortune in the game?"
". . . T-that's!"
"If that is all, then I will take my leave."
Before Principal DeGette could respond, Ren was already out of his office, leaving him fuming mad. He flung everything on top of his table, including his prized lunch.
