Estelle spaced out for a moment.

The man spoke in a cold tone, “What are you following me for? Are you a student at the University of J City?”

Pretending not to see, Estelle took out her phone and played Sudoku for a while.

In less than five minutes, she solved a round and heard footsteps approaching.
