His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 2767

Ivy was slightly taken by surprise. "I'm kind of busy tonight, but... Happy birthday!"

The girl seemed to have expected Ivy's answer and remainedposed, but another girl protested, "lvy, you've never shown up

for any of the class activities, and you are turning Gloria down even when it's her birthday? You are being arrogant!"

"I'm sorry, but | really do have something to attend to tonight," Ivy said. "I would havee along if it was yesterday or tomorrow."

"It's fine." Gloria smiled. "I believe that you are actually busy."

"I'm sorry!" Ivy said before leaving.

Once Ivy was gone, the girl who protested said sarcastically, "Is she working part-tor something? Why else would she be in

such a hurry?"

"I don't know," Gloria said. "She never talks about herself."

"I guess it's because she is ashamed! She was seen with sforeign guy in a cafe outside campus stago... | think she

must live a rather 'colorful' life. After all, she is the only one who doesn't need to stay in the dorms. Lucky her. She probably does

whatever she wants out there."

Meredith overheard everything and walked over with her bag in hand.

"Can you stop talking about others behind their backs? If you truly wanted her to join you for dinner, you could have asked her

earlier?" Meredith said. "lvy Foster isn't the only student who doesn't stay on campus, so why would you weaponize that against

her? She lives in the area right outside campus. If you can afford that, I'm sure you can apply to stay outside as well."

"She lives in the area outside? Are you sure?" the girl retorted. "Did she tell you herself? Are you two that close?"

Meredith realized that she had said something she should not have and blushed. "We are all classmates, and you shouldn't have

said such horrible things about a fellow classmate."

"I didn't say it to her face! | can say whatever | want in private, and it's none of your business!"

Gloria grabbed the girl's arm. "That's enough. Stop it. Let's go eat!"

"Gloria, this girl isn't even in our class. Is something wrong with her? She's poking her nose in other people's business! You must

have too much ton your hands!"

Meredith was furious.

Just then, a girl from Meredith's class walked over. "Meredith, why would you stand up for Ivy? Are you close? She didn't tell you

goodbye before leaving, though."

"The things they were saying were just too nasty. Ivy isn't like that. | might not be that close with her, | know she's not like that,"

Meredith said.

"Even if you stand up for her, she won't be your friend," the girl said. "I think that the people on the school forum are right. She

seems to look down on us."

"She isn't looking down on anyone. She is just focused on her studies, and doesn't have tto socialize." These were the exact

words that Ivy had told Meredith, and Meredith could empathize. "Not everyone enjoys socializing."

"lI guess! She's an odd one, though. I've never seen anyone who doesn't need friends."

"She's not odd. She just knows what she wants and is willing to work hard for it. Shees from a pretty wealthy family, and she

doesn’t even need to work part-tjobs."

"Is that so? Did she tell you that?"
