I looked back and saw Patrick standing behind me.
Seeing him, I began to panic instinctively, fearing that he would say something. So I quickly said to Kelsi, "Then I'll go first."
After that, I left quickly.
Before I could go far, I heard Patrick asking Kelsi, "What did you guys talk about?"
"Miss Archer said that she would leave City Y in a few days."
Kelsi answered.
"What will Patrick think about if he knows I'm leaving?"
I didn't know.
But the answer wouldn't matter to me anymore.
The important thing was that I would no longer be involved in them.
I walked home alone. As soon as I entered the house, I saw Lisa eating instant noodles again.
When she saw me, she sniffed. "Where have you been? Why is the smell of smoke on your body so strong?"
"Is it so?" I tugged at my clothes and smelled it by myself.
I could only smell a little of it.
