Chapter 67 When There Is A Will There Is A Way

• “I'm sure you'll find a way to help me, Erica,” she pleaded, clutching onto my arm with a death grip. “What happened last time was my fault; I'd overheard other people gossiping and became jealous of your luck. Please, Erica, help me out just this once!”
• Oh. I get it now. I'd thought that she'd come to me for help because I used to be her best friend, and she had no one else to turn to. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken. She merely thought that I could help because I had someone powerful with me: Augustus.
• I didn't bother trying to clarify my relationship with him; after all, she'd clearly already drawn her own conclusions and would refuse to listen to anything else. So, I instructed her to lie that she was sick and take a few days off work to hide in the dorms. As for her request, I would try my best to help with whatever I could. But if I was truly powerless, then I was not going to push myself for her sake.
