As the bus slowly pulled away and Jack was about to disappear from Feena's sight, a sudden panic surged in Feena's heart.
Without thinking, she took off running—faster than she ever had before—chasing after the bus.
Just as the rear doors were about to close, she leaped onto the bus at the last second and stood before Jack, breathless.
Jack stared at her in shock.
Feena's damp hair clung to her face, and her bright eyes quietly met his. Then, she flashed a triumphant smile. "I'll go with you."
As the bus drove on, the rain ahead grew heavier, nearly obscuring the entire windshield.
But inside the bus, Feena felt an unusual sense of warmth and security.
There weren't many passengers, yet she still chose to stand close to Jack. It was as if, at that moment, their fates had become intertwined.
…
Just like that, the summer vacation came to an end.
During this time, Patrick's negotiations with a major investment firm progressed steadily, with only the final contract signing with Jack remaining.
Meanwhile, Feena's interactions with Wesley and Phoebe became more frequent, naturally leading to more time spent with Jack as well.
All four of them came from Perthter, a relatively remote city. They often gathered at a small, unassuming restaurant, sharing their dreams and aspirations for the future.
Feena frequently sought Jack's advice on music. Though his online music career had been cut short due to the Soul's scandal, his superior musical talent was undeniable.
After all, the name Soul had once created a legend in the online music world. Even if he had fallen from grace, his talent remained intact.
At some point, Feena's attitude toward Jack subtly shifted—from initial indifference to genuine admiration.
However, Jack didn't pay much attention to such gossip, but it was no surprise.
College romances were fragile, and with Jenna's personality, it was unlikely she would truly settle for someone like Samuel.
At the start of the new semester, Jack contacted Caspian to dig up dirt on Flynn.
His plan was simple—leak the evidence online and utterly ruin Flynn's reputation. To maximize the impact, he even hired online trolls to ensure the scandal spread far and wide.
However, Jack underestimated Flynn's power.
Despite investing a significant amount of money in promoting negative news about Flynn across major forums and social media, by the next morning, every single post had mysteriously vanished.
Not only that, but the accounts he used to attack Flynn—including the ones hired from the troll farms—were all permanently banned.
It seemed this battle would be tougher than expected. Taking down Flynn wouldn't be as easy as he had hoped.
