Chapter 243:

The assistant, caught off guard, swiftly regained composure. “Understood. I will handle it first thing in the morning p>

“Good,” Cristian said, then ended the call.

He drew out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag, the smoke swirling around his determined expression.

He had made a promise to Fernanda that this would be the last intervention.

If Hunk and Joselyn were unable to correct their daughter’s behavior, then distance might impart the life lessons she sorely needed.

The world had a way of teaching people to behave.

Her constant efforts to cause trouble for Fernanda in Esaham were a nuisance. Even if Fernanda could tolerate it, he could not.

Therefore, he took it upon himself to eliminate this disruption in Fernanda’s life.

Meanwhile, Fernanda found herself restless, the thought of possibly falling for Cristian keeping her awake all night.

The next day was Monday, and fortunately, her schedule was clear of morning lectures. She planned to catch up on sleep once back on campus before her afternoon classes.

Descending the stairs for breakfast, she was greeted by the enticing scent of freshly brewed coffee—Ector was making his magic in the kitchen again.

Upon entering the dining room, Fernanda noticed Kevin by the table.

He mixed his coffee, generously pouring in milk and sugar.

As Fernanda approached, Kevin’s hand shook, causing hot coffee to splash out and scald him slightly.

Choosing to overlook him, Fernanda settled into her regular spot. Ector approached to serve her a steaming cup of coffee.

“You look tired,” Ector said, eyeing the dark shadows under her eyes.

“Anything bothering you p>

“Just up late gaming,” Fernanda replied casually.

Kevin, overhearing the conversation, tuned in more intently.

Mention of games always piqued his interest.

With a cautious tone, Kevin asked, “You’re into gaming? What’s your server and rank p>

With a quick, knowing smirk, Fernanda glanced at Kevin and teased, “Take a wild guess p>

Kevin paused, thrown by her challenge.

“You must be quite skilled,” he said after a moment. “The last time we had a match in the game, your performance was stellar—truly pro-level. Are you ranked nationally p>

“Not at all,” Fernanda replied without hesitation.

She preferred to remain anonymous in the gaming world.

“Ah,” Kevin said, slightly disappointed. “You really should consider playing in ranked matches. With your level of skill, you’d top the charts easily p>

He always favored being in the company of talent; it reflected well on him.
