Chapter 27 Have Dinner Together

'Ryan, so that's his name.'

Leona repeated the name in her mind.

"Ryan, what happened? She was saved by you? Tell me, please!" Sophia pleaded.

"Come on!" Ryan pinched Sophia's nose playfully. "I'll tell you later after I help Fiona unpack."

"Alright. Let's help her," said Sophia, sticking her tongue out at Ryan.

"Thank you." Fiona made sure to show them her gratitude.

"Hey, hey," Luke whispered as he gathered the boys. "Look at the four girls in the dormitory. Fiona is an absolute goddess. Sophia is super cute. Leona looks lovely. Ella is smoking hot. They're all so beautiful!"

"That's right." Warren nodded and turned to Ryan. "You know three of them, right? Who do you want the most? Let us know so we can pursue the others."

Ryan laughed. "Come on! You make me feel like I'm an emperor who's going to select a concubine." He glanced longingly at Fiona. 'Even if I have someone I want, will she want me?'

"Which one do you like?"

Ryan's thoughts were interrupted by Warren's probing. He flashed him a bright smile. "You didn't know?"

The other three boys exchanged a knowing smile.

Fiona had just finished unpacking her stuff. She wiped the sweat on her face and said, "Thank you all for your help today. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."

"Why another day? Why not today?" Sophia said and jumped up. "We're so lucky to have met each other! Why not have dinner together today? Let's bring Leona and Ella so we can all bond."

Hearing Sophia's words, the boys nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Fiona's phone rang.

She took it out from her pocket and saw Spencer's name on the screen.

"Hello?" Fiona ran to the balcony as she answered the phone. She did not notice Ryan's eyes following her.

"What are you doing? It took you so long to answer the phone!" Spencer's annoyed voice filled the other end.

"I'm unpacking," Fiona whispered.

"Have you moved to the dorm?"

"Yes."

Spencer was quiet for a few seconds. "I'm calling to tell you that I can't go back this weekend," he stated.

Fiona was thrilled.

"I see," she said over the phone.

"Don't get carried away. I'll see you soon. "I'll teach you a lesson by then," he threatened.

Fiona rolled her eyes. 'He's bluffing,' she told herself.

"Are you going to have dinner with us or not, Fiona? We're waiting for you," Sophia called out from inside the dorm. "I have to hang up now!" Fiona hurriedly told Spenc

"It's said that it's easiest to make friends at the dinner table," Sam stated. "See, now we know each other better."

"That's right," Luke agreed. "Maybe we should all go singing tonight while everyone's in high spirits. What do you think?"

"Stop making a fuss!" Warren patted Luke's shoulder. "It's the first day at school for these girls. Don't make them break the rules!"

"Exactly!" Sophia said. "We'll start military training the day after tomorrow! We need to rest well."

"Ah, the thought of military training gives me a headache!" Ella frowned and rubber her temple. "A month of military training! What should I do if my skin gets sunburn?"

"This is the first test for you from the university!" Sam clicked his tongue. "Come on, ladies!"

The boys dropped the girls off at the dormitory gate.

As they said their goodbyes, Sophia stood beside Ryan and whispered in his ear, "Do you have a crush on Fiona?"

Ryan raised his brows. "You've grown up, Sophia. That's very insightful of you."

Sophia rolled her eyes. "Don't worry about it. I'll help you get her!

Just tell me how I can help."

Ryan laughed. Sophia's face turned serious. "Please tell my father that you'll look after me here in D University so that he won't take me back."

Ryan paused for a while. "No problem," he finally agreed.

"Great. That's done!" Sophia patted Ryan's back and ran to the dormitory building. "Fiona, wait for me!" she called out.

As the girls ran away, Ryan's eyes remained affix on Fiona's slender figure.

'Fiona, even Sophia can see that I like you. Why can't you?' he thought, his heart sinking.
