Matthew immediately gasped in surprise. He asked, "William, are you crazy? Don't even think about going after Lynn. She's not just any woman. You know Damian, right?
"He's already pretty impressive, being the nephew of the head of The Dragonshade Society. But Lynn is his woman!"
I laughed awkwardly, thinking that Jaxon was long gone, so there was no need to worry about that anymore.
But I wasn't interested in Lynn, and I didn't want any rumors spreading, so I nodded and followed his words. "After hearing you say that, I'm actually a little worried. I'll stay away from Lynn from now on."
"Yeah! Stay away from her!"
When we got back to school, Matthew suggested that we grab a bite together, and I agreed. Last time, when we dined with Tiffany and the others, I didn't get to eat, and they were too busy entertaining the women to eat properly.
But now, with just the guys, it would be a different story.
We ate ravenously, and the atmosphere was lively.
Just as we were about to head to the commercial street by the school to grab some food, a beautiful woman suddenly stopped in front of us.
"Ms. Morgan?" It was Crystal.
It had been a while since I last saw her, and I had almost forgotten what she looked like. Seeing her now felt strange.
"William, I need to talk to you," she said, looking down, her demeanor a bit shy and awkward.
She hadn't appeared before me for some time, so I figured that she must be facing some trouble. I quickly made eye contact with Matthew and the others and then took her to a quieter spot.
"What's going on? Is something wrong?"
Crystal looked at me sadly and said, "You must be wondering why I've been gone for so long, right? Have you been angry with me? Have you missed me?"
