The piercing sound of the bell snapped Vivian back to reality. She blinked away the tears in her eyes and lowered her head silently.
Chow hated seeing her contentious and submissive look the most. He grunted in annoyance and continued dragging her down the stairs.
Since the bell had rung, the school grounds were bustling with teachers and students alike.
These noises reminded Vivian that they were still at school.
If they were to continue clinging to each other in a place like this, they would undoubtedly become the main focus of everyone in school.
"Brother Chow, let go of me," Vivian reminded him in a trembling voice.
The truth was that Vivian knew she would only make Chow angrier if she tried opposing him while he was still mad.
Hearing her words, Chow suddenly turned and glared at her. "Let me tell you, Vivian, that even if you get accepted to the farthest college you applied for, I will never let you go," he said, voice dripping with venom. "You'll never get rid of me!"
The terrifying look in his eyes stunned Vivian so much that it made her forget to respond.
She just stared at him with a blank expression, seemingly hypnotised by the fire in his eyes.
She even forgot to shed tears.
"You owe me that much," Chow said in a chillingly low voice. Then, he continued pulling her outside.
Vivian was so overwhelmed by his intimidating aura that she'd forgotten about his hold around her. She stayed hunched up in his arms as they stepped out of the building.
However, just as they left the building, she was met with more trouble.
Since she was in her final year of high school, everyone usually spent all their time in the classrooms and hardly ever wandered out unless necessary.
But Vivian had forgotten about the class rep whom she'd bumped into before.
There was no doubt that the class rep had spilt her juicy gossip to the rest of the class. More than half of her classmates had already gathered outside the office building.
Seeing Chow pulling her out in his arms, the sneers on their faces grew even more evident. They were all looking at her with disdain written plain across their foreheads.
Vivian's face turned pale. Her shoulders slumped immediately.
It was one thing to just have her rumours spread around the school when everything was still speculation and no one had ever witnessed anything, but it was another thing to actually be seen like this, tightly held in Chow's embrace, under the scrutiny of so many pairs of eyes.
