Chapter 55

Caryl knew that Nissa was intimidated by his comments and was being demoralized by them. She wanted to help Nissa; she liked her a lot and enjoyed studying and working with her. Even though Nissa was slower to pick up the concepts, Caryl was aware of how hard she worked and was always glad to have a chance to share a studio with her.

“If you have any more questions after you review your notes, let me know. I’ll try to answer them for you,” Bryant tried to encourage Nissa.

“Yeah, just try,” Danil whispered, almost silently.

Caryl had had enough. She turned to Danil, wanting to scream but kept her voice steady as best she could.

“Stop it, Danil,” she told him. “Enough is enough. I’m sick of your comments. If you can’t addanything constructive, just stay out of it. If Kai were here, you wouldn’t be doing this, so just stop it. When she comes back, she’s going to hear about your malicious attitude, I’m not here to listen to you.”
