Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2252

Mikayla quickly lowered her head. "Madam Baxter, don't worry. I know the rules."

Only then did Brielle leave with her attendants.

Amari scratched his messy hair with an awkward chuckle.

A short distance away, Brielle muttered, "Mikayla is calculating, her goals and desires far too obvious. Amari, don't go making trouble and dragging Andrew into it. Then again, why am I even meddling in their business? Maybe I just don't want to see that remarkable boy fall into a trap. Besides, there's still the Soul-Restoring Pill he promised me."

Soon after, Mikayla and Caden exited Sovereign's Apothecary together.

Caden, his eyes full of admiration, tried to sound casual as he asked, "Mikayla, are you free tomorrow? A few of us classmates recently advanced in our alchemy training, and we're planning a little gathering. Would you like to come?"

Mikayla flashed a charming smile. "A gathering? That sounds nice. But unfortunately, I really do have important matters tomorrow, so I'll have to miss this one. You all go ahead without me. Next time, alright?"

Caden's face showed disappointment, but he forced a smile. "Alright, next time then. Mikayla, you're so hard to ask out. See you."

Mikayla smiled. "See you! Next time, I promise."

Once Caden left, she slid into her Bentley. Inside, Isabelle sat with a tablet in her hands, watching cartoons.

Without looking up, she muttered, "Mikayla, you clearly don't want anything to do with those losers. Why not just reject him outright and have him give up?"

Mikayla shook her head with a laugh. "Belle, you're too innocent, you don't understand. If I reject him directly, he'll stop calling on me, and I'll lose influence over him. Leaving things vague keeps people in my orbit. If I want to stand firm at Sovereign's Apothecary, having a few followers and admirers is a must."
