Before Sylvia could even realize what was happening, one of the teachers identally 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 arge, 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?”

“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 re of the group of
teachers prating through her. She chuckled dryly and changed her mind. “You know what? Maybe | shouldn''t.” Thomas

seeping through their skin when they felt his gaze on them.
Thomas stated politely, “It’s gettingte, teachers. You girls should quickly get something to
eat.”
