Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 211

Chapter 211: The Day Of Her Fall

“One of our students will have her dinner in her room like always. Thank you.” Mr Summers smiled at the server when their table was served dinner.

Penny paused and stared at the food. They have been having dinner at the same table like other schools. But Nora had come to have lunch with them even once. On the first day, the teachers frowned but after noticing her performance, they were grinning ear to ear and boasting that their student was so hard working that she was even studying while eating.

It had only earned them a lot of praise. The food! The food!

“Nora loves these pecan brownies. She would be happy if she got two of them too.” she whispered in a longing voice. The teacher paused while everyone looked at her.

“Penny if she had any allergy!” but before the teacher could continue, Penny snorted.

“Do you think she is a fool? She would not notice these large pecans on the top and would still eat it if she had an allergy to pecans?” her rebuking voice made the teacher embarrassed.

She was so worried that she was overreacting. Mr Summers sighed when he looked at his colleague red faced.

“It is alright, they are sisters after all. Alisha would go and inform the server to add one more brownie in her dinner?” Alisha looked at Penny in confusion but she still nodded and left to inform the server.

“I need to go to the washroom.” Penny stood up and left the table. Her voice choked as if she was going to hide her tears so the teachers did not stop her.

But instead of going to the washroom, she followed the server.

“Dane, Alisha was looking for you earlier. She had gone in that direction while looking for you.” Penny covered her face with her hoodie as she called a bow arguing in the crowd.

The boy paused and turned to look, but he did not find anyone standing behind him. He frowned. But he had a crush on that pretty girl. What if.. She was really looking for him. Grinning, he ran in that direction.

“Excuse me, are you going to serve the food in room number 308?” Penny watched in the dark as Alisha stopped the server and asked in a sweet voice. The young server paused and nodded instantly, blushing.

“The teacher told me to inform you that pecan brownies were too delicious. Serve her two at least.” she spoke as she pointed at the brownies.

“Oh, but we are only giving one to everyone.” the server looked at the tray at a loss. They have offered an extra if asked but each plate at one by default.

“It is alright, i will hold the tray for you while you go and fetch one?” The server looked relieved and thanked her twice.

“I never knew that girls are this humble, thank you.” he ran to bring one while Alisha placed the tray on the chair looking around.

“Alisha!” like a nightmare had come alive, Alisha’s eyes widened as she saw the boy coming from another direction. She instantly opened the door and hid inside it.

“Alisha!” Dane finally reached where Alisha was standing. He had seen her from afar but now she was gone? He looked around in confusion and started checking rooms.

While they were busy playing hide and seek, Penny looked at the tray with a glint in her eyes. She reached for the soup and stirred it with a sweet smile.

“Eat well and study hard, my sister. You are the future of our family.” Alisha only returned when she could not hear Dane anymore.

When the server returned, Alisha was still standing dutifully. The food was placed on the table, covered as he had left it. He thanked Alisha and took the food for Nora.

After an hour, Alisha finished her dinner and knocked on Nora’s room door.

She hesitated as she noticed the empty tray.

“Nora, do you like Pecan brownies?” she played with her fingers as she asked in a worried face.

“Yes, I like brownies and pecan is my favorite nut. Why? Have you brought more for me?” Nora chuckled as she flipped the page and wrote more answers. Even when she was talking, she was studying hard.

Alisha felt embarrassed.

“Nothing! When Penny suggested adding more brownies to your place, we were worried if you have an allergy to it or something?” Alisha scratches her neck looking at the ground. “But we all must be thinking too much. She must be trying to mend her ways or just leaving an impression on others like always. See how silent she is.. Every student is praising her for her hard work and kind personality. I am sure she had given gifts to every single one of them. And..” Nora did not listen further.

The voice was falling in her ears but she could ont comprehend it. She stared at the empty plate and an ominous feeling filled her heart.

“Who went to inform the waiter?” Alisha was stunned when she was cut. But understanding her doubts, she shook her head.

“Oh it was me. Penny did not leave the table at all.” When she had left, Penny was sitting on the table, and she was there when Alisha had returned. So she had no idea.

“Is that so! Then I must be overthinking.” Penny smiled with a glimmer in her eyes. “Alisha, can we talk later? I still have too much to study.

“Oh, of course. I need to revise too.” the girl left instantly.

Next day,

The atmosphere in the exam room was rather tense. After four days of a series of challenges including the written exams, oral exams, and vying to answer questions, Nora, who was usually calm, had sweat in her palms.

Her face was pale as paper as if she would fall down any moment. But whenever it was her turn to accept the challenges, she would stand straight and stare at her rivals with composure in her eyes, and then she would answer the teachers’ questions swiftly.

There were 14 teachers of science, humanity, economy, math and language in the exam room for the last competition.
