Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Growing circle

Once the first recess bell rang, the class president approached Penny’s desk immediately.

"Uh, Penny."

Penny looked up at the class president and tilted her head.

The class president offered Penny a smile. "Thank you for earlier and I’m sorry I couldn’t stop them." Her smile cracked a little as she thought of what could’ve happened if Penny got in trouble.

She was the class president, and she knew she should’ve done something. However, not only did she hesitate for a second, but her officers and even Penny saved her from Ray’s fans’ wrath.

"It’s okay, President!" Penny reassured. "It’s not your fault. I mean, I knew you tried, and that’s good enough for me."

But that didn’t feel good enough for the class president.

"Lily." the class president said with a subtle smile. "Just call me Lily."

Penny didn’t answer and just smiled.

"Anyway, do you want to eat snacks together?" Lily offered. "I brought some snacks from Germany. You might want to try them."

"Oh, but I’m eating snacks with Ginnie to discuss our project."

Lily glanced at Ginnie, who had just arrived at Penny’s desk. "She can come if you want."

"Well... that’s not for me to decide." Penny shifted her eyes to Ginnie.

Ginnie’s shoulders tensed up when Lily and Penny were looking at her. She forced a smile while her brain almost overheated with all the overthinking. If she refused, then Lily might be upset and might think Ginnie was trying to hog Penny all for herself.

Although Lily hadn’t done anything to her, Ginnie was still scared of rubbing Lily the wrong way.

"Su — sure."

"Great!" Lily exclaimed, and with that, the three girls went to the cafeteria to eat.

Recess time was different from other grades, so the cafeteria in building 1 wouldn’t be so crowded. The girls found a spot in the corner, putting down their snacks. Penny only bought from the cafeteria because she wanted to save the ones she brought for later.

As for Lily, she placed these containers full of snacks on the table.

"Lily, can you eat all of that?" Penny couldn’t help but notice.

Lily smiled. "My parents want me to share it with my friends. I already shared some with the class officers, but I want to share this with you."

"Oh..." Penny’s eyes glossed over the food and pursed her lips. ’They look delicious!’

"Come on, try them. They’re really good." Seeing the shimmer in Penny’s eyes, Lily couldn’t help but push the container toward her.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. After helping me today, this isn’t enough to thank you."

"Well, then, thank you!" Penny didn’t hear the rest of the sentence as she happily picked up her spoon to enjoy the dishes. It was only recess, but the food they were eating was good for lunch.

’But...’ Ginnie’s shoulders trembled, reminded of the last time Patricia offered her some food. The food was, indeed, nice, but the experience right after wasn’t nice. Since Patricia gave her food, Patricia demanded Ginnie to buy her as well.
