The teachers trailed after him.

Before Sylvia could even realize what was happening, one of the teachers accidentally backed into her and sent her tumbling to

the floor. It was a harder shove than it seemed. Sylvia stumbled twice and fell to the floor. Her knees scraped against the hard

ground. She frowned, then picked herself up off the floor

It was at this point that a large, and delicate hand suddenly extended in front of her.

The restless group of teachers instantly stopped their ceaseless fawning and became silent.

Sylvia was rather taken aback by this. She looked up and saw a very familiar and handsome face.

Underneath the man’s fringe was a pair of cool and beautiful eyes staring back at her.

Sylvia opened her eyes wide and mouth agape, “Thomas? Why are you here?” Thomas curled his lip into a smile. “I work here.’

With that, he grabbed her by her wrist and lifted her from the ground. Sylvia was still reeling back from the shock “When did you

start working here?” “A month ago.” After a pause, he asked, “Why are you here?”

“I'm working here too. | only just started today.”

“Have you had lunch yet?”

“No.”

“Let's have lunch together.”

Sylvia felt countless needles prickling every part of her body. She looked behind her. It was the loathsome glare of the group of

teachers penetrating through her. She chuckled dryly and changed her mind. “You know what? Maybe | shouldn't.” Thomas

turned to look at his worshippers with a piercing gaze in his eyes that were devoid of warmth. They felt a chilling pang of cold

seeping through their skin when they felt his gaze on them.

Thomas stated politely, “It’s getting late, teachers. You girls should quickly get something to

eat.”

They took the hint. Some of them grunted a word or two in response while the others immediately turned and left, lookdng

defeated. In time, they all walked away and branched off into several groups. Sylvia and Thomas went to a small restaurant near

the school. Aster sitting down, Sylvia had many questions on her inind. “Thomas, what are you teaching here?”

Froin what she could remember, he was very withdrawn and was not fond of talking. Back

when Otell and their stepmother were still fighting for ownership of the family business. their stepmother had wanted him to work

in the company in a managerial position Head expressed very little interest in the arrangement, and in time, their stepmother ve

up on the ided ehitirely

Alles ihe whole debade was wrapped up, their stepmother left the family business and was completely disgraced After that she

Thomas answered her oblig.ingly. “I teach plang”

Sylvia’s eyes glowed She remembered that he liked playing the pian, and that he was very Food at it

When she still lived with the Carters, she would always hear hun playing the piano

Though they did not live in the same block, she could still hear the music as clear as day From time to time, she would also

noticelum playing plano through the window Whenever he played the piano, she would feel waves of inspiration During that

period, she frequently pallided whenver he played plano

“What about you? What are you teaching here?” he asked suddenly

She replied, “I fechari”

He nodded and seemed like he had nothing to add

The water brought the menu

She asked, “What would you like to eat?”

“Anything works.”

“Very well”

Knowing that he was not a very talkative man, she stopped pestering him. She ordered her favorites and ordered something

normal for her, then she handed the menu back to the waiter. They are their lunch in silence

After the meal, she went to ask for the bill before he could, only to find out that the bill had already been paid. She turned around

with an astonished look

Thomas just happened to be approaching her, his tall figure impossible to miss. Noticing the look on Sylvia’s face, he brandished

his phone “Online payment.”
