Chapter 373 - Revenge 374: Missing Gown

"Brother, why are you making that face?" Nathalia asked. She knew, too well, the reason why her brother has that expression on his face, however, she decided to ask because she wants to tease her brother.

"Are you seriously asking me that?" Kyle gave his sister a look, then turned his attention back to Anna and Leon. "Why is he sticking to Anna like that?" The longer he looks at them, the more his brain says that Anna and Leon look good together.

"It's what their instructor told them. That's how it should be." Lannie said to her brother rin a matter of fact tone.

"Well, I don't like it. Who is their instructor? Tell me the name of that person, so that I can report them." To Kyle's opinion, anyone who sees that kind of closeness between two people can bring huge misunderstanding. And he doesn't want anyone to misunderstand the relationship between Anna and Leon, he wants to separate those two right at this moment.

"Geez. You're getting jealous just by that? Brother, you're so simple-minded." For once, that actually made Lannie feels good after saying that to her brother. For the longest time, whenever her brother sees a chance, he always says that to her, and now, it's her turn.

"Are you blind, Lannie? Obviously, Leon is taking advantage of Anna." Ever since he saw Leon staring at Anna in a different way one time, Kyle has been wary of Leon.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Obviously, Leon is not taking advantage of Anna." Even Leon has that kind of thought, Leon would never do it because if he does, the Coleman family will go after him. Leon knows his boundaries towards Anna.

"Look at him, Lannie. You see that smug on his face. It's annoying." While he was watching, Leon saw him, and the response that he got from Leon really annoyed him. Leon put on a smug face while looking straight at him.

Clearly, Leon was trying to get on in his nerves, and it certainly worked.

Not allowing her brother to get angry at her, Lannie is being careful with her words. "You do know that Leon is only trying to get into your nerves, right? If you show him that it's affecting you, it's going to be his win, not yours."

Whenever it comes to Anna, her brother easily gets his emotion get the best of him. That is why it is easy for her, for Aaron, and for Leon to tease him using Anna. They don't even feel the slightest of guilt while doing it. To them, it's their happiness to tease Kyle because Kyle is not the easiest person to deal with in the first place and it's rare for them to have such a chance.

Kyle couldn't say a word. His sister is right, if he let Leon's childish antics affect him, then it's going to be his loss, not Leon's. For now, it's better for him to calm and deal with Leon later, and that is what he did.

"Look at that, he's trying so hard not get angry," Leon mumbled to himself, however, Anna heard it.

"Who are you talking about?" She said, then she followed the direction Leon is looking at. When she saw who is Leon staring at, her face suddenly brightens with a hue of red. "I did not make any mistakes earlier, right?" Anna frantically asked.

Leon chuckled seeing the frantic face, Anna is making. "Don't worry, the only thing that you did is that you outshine all the other participants. You look stunningly beautiful." Anna now feels embarrassed after hearing that comment. By now, she should be used to hearing that from other people, however, the way Leon said it is just too much for her.

"You say such things. Do you always say that to all the beautiful girls that you see?" Although she has not yet see Leon flirting around with girls, Anna is somewhat sure that Leon does flirt with girls since he is good with his words.

"Nope. I rarely flirt with. You should feel lucky." Now that Anna reminded him of that, Leon wants her to feel lucky that he complimented her. Just like what he said, he rarely says such words with other girls.

Anna stared at him, and said, "Compare to you and Kyle, I think that if Kyle were to compliment, I would feel very lucky." If any chance that she and Kyle were to meet for the first time at this moment and she heard him call her beautiful, then Anna will feel lucky to hear that from him.

Just like what the media in her past life said, Kyle is a hard man to please, and if one person were to be praised by Kyle, that person should feel lucky. After all, in her past life, the number of people who Kyle praised can only be counted by a few fingers.

Understanding what Anna is trying to say, Leon did not hesitate to agree with her.

Two rounds have passed and currently, Anna and Leon are getting for the final round. Neither Anna or Leon are excited by everything that is happening to them, the only person that is excited is their class advisor. The only wish Anna and Leon have right now is to stop and take a long break.

"We're gonna win! I can feel it! W-I-N! WIN!" Anna's class advisor excitedly chanted. With the cheers from the audience, the class advisor is already confident that her two students are the ones winning the event.

"Teacher, I think you should stop doing that. Can't you see those glares they're giving to us?" The other participants and class advisors are giving them glares whenever she chants that her two students are going to win.

"Tch. I don't care about them. Right at this moment, all I care about is you two. They can give us all the glare they want, but that won't make us go down from the path we are in." Though her speech is very encouraging, Anna and Leon can't feel any sincerity coming out of their class advisor's mouth.

"Teacher!" One of Anna's classmates, the one who is in charge of her outfits for this occasion, suddenly came running towards them. The expression on her face says that there is a huge problem.

"What's the problem?" The teacher asked.

"I couldn't find Anna's gown for the final round. I'm sorry, teacher." The girl is already crying as she explained herself to them. According to her, she left the gown nicely, then she went out to get a snack for herself, and when she came back, the gown went missing. She also said that search every corner to find that dress. Despite her effort, she still could not find it.

Looking at how hard she is crying, the feeling of guilt must have overwhelmed her. "I-It's alright. There's no need to cry." Anna gently said to her. An honest girl like is someone that Anna does not have the heart to scold at.

"B-But, without it..." The girl can't even finish her sentence because of her extreme guilt. Since the first round, she kept hearing her teacher saying that their class is going to win, and yet, when the final round has come, she made a big mistake leaving the dress all alone. This time, she really made her teacher be disappointed at her.

"Leon, how much time do we have until the final round?" The teacher asked. In her tone, there is no sign of anger or disappointment. The girl doesn't know whether she should be relieved at that or not.

"Well, since the principal decided to entertain our school guests, she put a lot of entertainment all around the school ground, and with that, we have an hour and a half until the final round." Thinking about that, it made Leon frown. Why are the other participants are getting ready for the next round early when they have so much time in their hands. Mostly the ones that are getting ready are the girls.

'I can never understand this.' He inwardly said.

"We don't have much time to find a perfect dress for Anna." The shakingly said and is about to cry again, however, her class advisor stopped her by patting her head.

"You don't have to get worked up about it. I got it covered, so don't worry."  Despite the situation that they are in right now, their teacher made them feel reassured that everything is going to be just fine.

"How are you gonna fix the problem, teacher?" Anna asked curiously.

"I have connections." She said with a smirk and left the room.

As she is walking down the hallway, she took out her phone and dialed someone's certain number. For her to be calling that person makes her feel so nostalgic about the past and sad at the same time.

Only after a few rings, that person finally answered. "Hey, Alfonso. I know that it's been a long time, but I really need you to do me a favor."
