章 54: Quest of a Married Woman

Chapter - 54

Looking at the quest in front of him and as he watched Megan and Tyler leave the classroom, Rick seized the opportunity to slip out quietly through the back door. He moved swiftly, not wanting to draw any more attention to himself. Ray called out to him from behind, but Rick chose to ignore his friend's inquiries. He needed some space to process the situation and figure out his next steps.

"Hey, Rick! Where are you going, man?"  Ray, noticing Rick's hasty exit, called out to him from behind. 

"I needed some air," Rick replied without even turning to look at him.

Meanwhile, Emily had watched Rick quickly exit from the classroom with a sense of curiosity and concern.

But as she wanted to follow him, she was stopped by the professor, who had questions about the day's lesson. Emily couldn't help but have to stay back to much of her dismay.
