Chapter 332: Arit And The Other Woman
Once Turner saw Luna, he cursed internally as he saw the look of disapproval in her eyes. He was busted.
"Turner, what did I tell you about having interviews with students?"
Luna had told Turner a while back not to carry out these interviews with the students because it would only make the students tense. If Turner wanted to carry out any interview, then he had to ask her first and get her permission before going ahead.
Turner was about to straight-up lie about the interrogation, but he knew that it would be pointless. Instead, he simply shrugged. This timing was too perfect for it to be a simple coincidence. Was Luna waiting out here for me to finish with Arit?
Turner was sure that Luna didn't have any business on this side of the school at this time, so her coming to this side of the school had to be because of him.
Luna was the leader of the investigation, so whatever she said was law as far as the investigation was concerned. Him going behind her back for this interrogation was like undermining her authority.
Turner quickly spoke up.
"You weren't available, and I felt having the interview as soon as possible was important, so I made do. Sorry."
"An apology is not enough, Turner. This is not how we are carrying out the investigation. You had an interview yesterday without my consent, and I overlooked it because I understand you are desperate to prove yourself, but this will be the last time. Is that understood?"
Turner was surprised that Luna knew about the interview he had with Maria yesterday. The truth was that Maria and Arit were the only two students that Turner had interviewed in the school. They were the only ones that provided any significant leads in the investigation.
Arit was the last person who was seen with the two victims before they were killed, and Maria said that she was with Arit during the time of the killing. It was very important to have an interview with both of them.
But now that he had already done what he wanted, he didn't mind being locked down by Luna. Turner was the sort of person who always did what was necessary to achieve his goals. He had a very high sense of responsibility since he and his sister were very little.
Due to Tina's eccentric attitude, Turner had to mature very fast in order to compensate for her childish nature and cover for her whenever she did something stupid. This made him seem overbearing to some people because of how hard he tried his best to accomplish any task given to him.
But since he was still so young, he wasn't able to see the big picture in some situations, and his attempts to present himself as a responsible person would sometimes only make him seem more childish.
"Yes, I understand. Sorry for going against your orders."
Luna sensed the sincerity from Turner and finally told him to get back to class, and Turner left the two women in the corridor alone. Once they were alone, Arit turned to look at the older woman standing beside her. There was a deep, inquisitive look in Luna's eyes that made Arit feel like she was being judged by Luna. Why was Luna looking at her like that?
Luna, meanwhile, was no longer thinking about what Turner did. Instead, Luna realized that she was standing here with the woman who was her rival for Mark and Luna unconsciously began to assess Arit to try and understand what it was that Mark saw in Arit. Arit was the only thing standing between Luna and Mark, and Mark was unwilling to ever give Luna a chance so long as he was together with Arit.
Why did Mark prefer her over me? I'm more beautiful than she is, and I have more power. I even have more of a presence than her. So why?
Is it because her breasts are bigger than mine?
Luna couldn't deny that Arit's breasts were a work of art. Even at the tender age of seventeen, Arit had a larger bust and smaller hip size than the twenty-three-year-old Luna. Luna could only wonder if Mark was the sort of person who liked his woman to have more flesh on her. Luna was not small by any measure.
Her bust and hip were very well proportioned, and she could give many women a run for their money in that category alone. But Arit? Arit was in another world of her own. There was no competing with proportions like that.
"Is there something you wanted from me?"
Arit was growing uncomfortable with Luna's staring, and Luna realized that she must've come off as a strange person by staring for that long. Luna finally brought herself back to reality. Even if Arit was her rival for Mark, Arit herself didn't know it, and Luna wouldn't allow something as petty as jealousy to affect how she interacted with students.
"No, there isn't. I just want to apologize for the interview. Turner can be a bit too responsible sometimes, so he tends to go out of his way to do things like this. I hope he didn't give you too much trouble?"
Arit shook her head.
"No, he didn't do anything bad. It was just some questions, so it's fine." Chapter Continue:
Luna nodded, and the both of them descended into silence as Luna tried to think about something to say. Luna was not a shy person, but she just felt uncomfortable talking to Arit after everything that she had done with Mark. Did Mark tell Arit that I kissed him? No, she doesn't look like she recognizes me at all. I don't think Mark told her.
Or maybe Mark told her about the kiss but she just doesn't know that I am the woman he told her about?
Luna eventually decided that she would ask Arit about something she was genuinely interested in knowing about.
"So, I hear you are Mark Vanitas' girlfriend."
Arit's eyes narrowed defensively.
"Yes, I am. Is there an issue with that?"
Luna shook her head. Arit response threw Luna off guard a little, but Luna just guessed that Arit was used to people asking about Mark, and she was now guarded against those questions. But even though Arit was guarded, that did not warrant the amount of hostility that Arit was currently showing to Luna.
Arit was hostile to Luna for a different reason entirely. Ever since Arit ran into Luna in the hallway, Arit was able to immediately tell that Luna was the one that she smelled on Mark the previous day The repulsive female smell that Mark had on his uniform was an exact match for the cologne that Luna used. That meant that Luna was the one who touched Mark.
And now Luna was also asking about Mark? Arit couldn't hide her hostility even if she tried!
