57 Chapter Fifty-Six: No More Escape Routes

"Em, did you met Rylan in school?" 

Mark's sudden question about Rylan made warning bells start ringing in Emily's brain.

For a moment she wanted to lie but then a new idea popped up in her crafty little mind as she put on a frowning expression while lightly nodding her head in reply.

Her affirmative gesture made Mark stiffen as he hurriedly asked, "When? Did he say anything to you?" 

"Umm...it was in the Chemistry period. He just gave me a surprised look but did not say anything else. Other than that, I did not see him for the rest of the day." 

The fake sincerity that she pushed into her words and the little frown that was plastered on her face, succeeded in covering her lie from Mark's sharp gaze.

The reason Emily did not hide about Rylan sharing the Chemistry class with her was the number of witnesses that were present in the class.
