A hush fell over the students as the lecturer entered the classroom.
It was a design theory class, and Lina had consistently excelled, earning praise for her homework numerous times.
However, her heart was in disarray right now.
Her gaze fixated emptily on her homework, her thoughts consumed by Zuko's presence as he entered the room.
She absentmindedly touched her hair, still feeling the lingering warmth from his touch...
A smile gradually spread across her face as she stared into space.
What had he said before he left? He had mentioned bringing her lunch.
For a moment, she was taken aback, revealing an awkward smile.
How could that be possible? The store would be crowded at noon, and he was expected to remain there with her parents. How could he possibly find the time to bring her lunch? Moreover, did he even know how to cook?
Perhaps he had simply said it without much thought.
Yet, despite her skepticism, his words brought her joy.
…
Soon, It was noon, and the students were discussing what to have for lunch.
Gia pulled Lina to ask. "Do you want to go to the restaurant?"
"Are you stupid?" Violet mocked her. "Her husband is bringing her lunch. Why are you pestering her to go out with you?"
Gia rolled her eyes at her and criticized under her breath. "Crazy!"
Violet did not hear that, so she pushed it even further. "It's 12:00 p.m. now, Lina. Where's your husband? Ha! Was he only fooling you?"
"It's none of your concern, Violet!" Gia could no longer hold back and stood up to fight back.
"You—"
Before she could finish, a lecturer at the door called out, "Who is Lina?"
Lina was stunned and stood up slowly.
The lecturer turned around and looked behind.
At that moment, a couple of men in suits and white gloves stood in one line. They walked in slowly with a pretty food container in their hands. The logo of the top luxury hotel in Jangasas, Best Level, was embossed on the containers.
