Chapter 650: Chapter 58: Invisible Enemies All Around You!

"Yes, it’s me!”

Standing outside the door, Kemi tried to keep her voice calm, but under the tension, she stuttered, which made her already nervous self even more anxious. The little speech she had prepared was completely forgotten.

Especially when the door opened and she saw Jason, Kemi felt her cheeks burn and her head swim, and she instinctively handed the book in her hands to Jason.

"This, this is the new book ‘OverFxxw’ that was released before, just like ‘Exotic Species Appraiser’, it’s very popular. Jason, take a look, it will help you with your writing.”

Kemi said as she handed over the book.

"Thank you.”

Jason smiled as he took the book.

He had read the previous “Exotic Species Appraiser”.

This “OverFxxw” should do the same.

Although Cortana was helping him, as an author, improving his writing was always a good idea.

Kemi, looking at Jason’s smile, seemed to gain some courage.

Immediately, Kemi said,

"I, I

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be off.”

She stuttered again.

She became nervous again.

The courage that had just surfaced disappeared the moment she began to speak.

"Alright.”

Jason nodded.

Then, he closed the door.

Since Kemi wanted to leave, he naturally would not hold her back. His time was also pressing. Translating the notebook given to him by ‘Leviah’, even with his ‘Proficiency Level’ in Dufol Language, was not an easy task and would require at least one or two all-nighters to complete. 𝙧ÅℕОβÊṦ

The door closed, and Kemi stood there stunned, looking at the door, sighing dejectedly.

Kemi, what are you doing?

Haven’t you prepared for this before?

Why get nervous again?

Kemi questioned herself.

This self-inquiry stirred a sense of frustration and… impulse in the young girl’s heart.

She raised her hand, about to knock on the door again.@@novelbin@@

But with her arm raised halfway, less than 10 centimeters from the door, Kemi suddenly heard a familiar ‘woof, woof’ sound. It was the sound she knew well, the sound of a dog that becomes defensive when encountering unfamiliar dogs.

But…

Didn’t Daisy leave with Mr. John?

Kemi looked down the hallway, puzzled, and then prepared to knock on the door again.

Woof… woof…

The warning bark of the dog grew clearer.

At the same time, Kemi realized it wasn’t just one dog.

There were three!

The sounds were different but equally fierce.

Confused, Kemi stepped out of the hallway and entered the brightly lit living area of the lounge.

The bright lights and simple decor allowed Kemi to see at a glance that there were no dogs around.

"Am I so nervous that I’m hallucinating?”

Kemi muttered to herself.

Then, the girl shook her head, banishing these thoughts from her mind.

Now was not the time for such thoughts!

I have to gather my courage and express my feelings to Jason!

With this thought, the girl turned around and walked back to Jason’s door once more.

She raised her hand and knocked again.

Meow!

The piercing, sharp, and hair-raising sound of a cat screeched in Kemi’s ear.

Kemi flinched.

She looked around in alarm.

But instead of knocking again, she took a step back.

Anxiety!

Potent unease began to rise from the depths of her heart, filling her with fear. Instinctively, she felt that if she continued knocking, something bad would indeed happen.

Without hesitation, Kemi turned on her heel and hurried back to her room.

Immediately, the sounds of cats and dogs vanished.

When she opened the door and returned to her room, the unease also disappeared.

"Kemi, how did it go? Did Jason agree?”

Telly, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over excitedly as soon as Kemi opened the door, taking hold of her friend’s hand.

Since when had the two become close friends?

Back at Apartment 3A.

Had there been too much time?

The friendship between women is beyond what men can understand.

They could become close friends over the same shade of lipstick, an ordinary handbag.

They could also agree to go shopping without makeup, and then all show up with makeup, mentally cursing each other for fake friendship, but outwardly becoming even closer.

Perhaps this is what…understanding me?

Some might say such ‘friendship’ isn’t pure enough?

No!

In some ways, this kind of close friendship is even purer.

Because they all secretly think the same thing: that girl is so annoying.

Fortunately, Kemi and Telly are different.

Their unique circumstances when they met made them different.

It made them more open with each other.

As Kemi openly had a crush on Jason, Telly wholeheartedly helped her, from planning strategies to finding props, doing everything herself. Those two books were brought by Telly.

Telly, who had put in so much effort, naturally hoped for a good outcome for her close friend.

Facing her friend’s questions, Kemi was slightly ashamed.

"I, I got a bit nervous.”

Kemi said.

"You didn’t manage to say it, did you?”

Telly’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at Kemi.

Kemi nodded.

"My sister, did you come from a convent? Are you still preserving that innocence?”

Telly couldn’t help but tease.

Then, Kemi nodded again.

"Really?!”

Telly looked at Kemi in even greater surprise, and then turned to her downcast friend. She immediately went over and hugged Kemi’s arm, saying, “That’s a plus! Also, I didn’t fully understand your situation before, so the plan had some mistakes. Now, let’s come up with a brand-new plan!”
