Chapter 43: Love Rivals

Iris managed to arrive in class just before their female professor entered the classroom. Justin promptly guided Iris to a seat at the back, and she followed him, trying to ignore the many curious gazes now fixated on her.

She wasn't sure about their thoughts, but she had a strong feeling that they were beginning to notice her changes, particularly in her appearance. Two days in a row, she wasn't wearing any makeup, which was quite unusual for her, who always appears using thick makeup.

As Iris reached the back row, her eyes landed on an empty seat towards the end of the row, and she noticed that Xavier was sitting right next to it. She understood immediately that the seat had been left open for her. 

Without being asked, she casually took the seat next to Xavier, not glancing his way. After retrieving her iPad from her bag, she focused her attention on the female professor at the front of the class who had begun the lecture.
