Meeting with the Vice-Headmaster [2]

"Your earrings… where did you get them?"

Leon was staring at my earring suspiciously.

Did he recognize them?

This was why I had been trying to hide them.

Though the situation wasn't dangerous. After all, it was Leon.

"That…."

I opened and closed my mouth a few times.

My eyes were turned toward the ground, and I was clenching my fists tightly.

Leon, who saw me hesitating, shook his head.

"You don't need to tell me. It was insensitive of me to ask it out of the blue. I understand that there are things that one wouldn't take about."

He self-rationalized my hesitation, thinking it was connected to my past.

'How gullible are you? I didn't even speak, and you were fooled?'

It didn't look like Leon was going to ask me about the earrings anymore.

However, that wasn't my goal.

I needed to take care of this golden opportunity.

"No, I'll tell you."
