Amidst the discussion of projects and approaching exams, Severine felt a faint sensation crawling up her ankle.
It took a moment for her scattered thoughts to align.
By then, the sensation was gone, replaced by the coldness of the edge of her jeans.
Huh? She blinked in confusion, thoughts spiraling into a daze.
The fish cracker Austin gave her was still on there. She didn't eat anything on her plate, not glancing at what Victor had put there as well.
Barely after a few breaths, she felt that disgusting sensation again.
Austin's toe brushed her ankle while his hand settled on her thigh.
When she turned, she met a pair of soft blue eyes staring back at her with a hint of teasing laughter.
"Eat, sister. You don't want anything to go amiss during such an important time, right?"
To others, his words were filled with concern regarding her health and her excessive focus on her studies.
However, how could Severine not realize the truth?
Austin was warning her.
