Victor's Charm      

Once Evelyn left the room, Xiaxia's friends began discussing recent events and gossip from school, filling Xiaxia in on everything she had missed during her absence. 

It felt like Xiaxia hadn't just been absent for one day, but a week from how they chatted recent events. 

Their laughter and chatter filled the room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in the penthouse.

The girls shared laughter, and Xiaxia couldn't help but feel a wave of relief wash over her. Having her friends by her side during these recent hardships was like a ray of sunshine in the midst of a storm.

"Believe me, I'm just as surprised as you are," Xiaxia replied, still chuckling. "But hey, we'll make the most of it while we're here."

The trio of friends continued their lively conversation, relishing the comfort and warmth of each other's company.
