I had gotten back from the states few months ago and I didn't want to lazy around, depending on my parents so I went job hunting and got a personal assistant job. Not what I wanted actually but it was better than nothing and the pay was very lucrative.Because of my excitement, I had woken up very early to get ready. I was staying at my parent's place pending the time I get my own apartment.

Heeding to Ayomide's advice, Henry had to stay away from Jewel and it became so noticeable. The news spread around school like wild fire and soon, everyone was talking about it. It felt strange to Jewel. She asked Henrietta about it but Henrietta had no clue. Henrietta was even more of annoyed than worried.

So she gave up trying even though it was hurting her.Pearl didn't go to Jewel and said " I told you so". No she didn't do that. Instead she stood by her sister and was always there for her.

If she gets hurt by Henry then it's on Jewel, not on her. At least she did try her best to warn her sister. This was why she didn't want her coming to the school in the first place.
