As Kimberly looked at the workbook with neat handwriting and perfectly written answers on every page, she was so mad that she nearly tore the book apart. What the f*ck! She’s merely a girl with an ordinary background! Does she think that she will be able to enter a university with good grades? No matter how well her results are, a commoner’s daughter will always be a commoner’s daughter! There are things that you will never be able to attain if you did not have it when you were born!
In the afternoon, Carmen went to the guard house to have her lunch again. The weather today was nice since it was shining. The entire school felt warm and there were people playing soccer in the field.
Three men rode on their sports bicycle and stopped at the guard house. One of them got off the bicycle, removed his helmet, and entered the guard house while carrying a bag.
The man was in his twenties. With a buzz cut and tanned complexion, he had a masculine beauty that made him seem different from any other ordinary man. His handsome features were outstanding and it made him stand out among the students.
“Nate, what are we having for lunch today?” She delightfully went up to greet him. She would have lunch in school every day—she would bring the meal from home sometimes while her family would send someone to bring it over to her at other times. Her dinner was also taken in school as they would deliver it to her.
The person who delivered her food was Nathan today.
He seldom came since he had a company to manage. Ever since Michael went into cryosleep, he started to mature at a fast pace and finally entered the Asco International to take over Michael’s position at the management level.
Although he seemed cool and cold on the surface, the corner of his lips would involuntarily reveal his brotherly love toward Carmen whenever he saw her. “They are all your favorite.”
Upon seeing Theo, he made sure that there was nobody around them before he greeted, “Grandpa.”
Theo asked, “Hey, why are you here today?”
Nathan answered, “I’m here for a game with friends.”
Theo cast a glance at the three of them. Since Nathan had brought them along, they were probably close friends with each other. As a result, Theo secretly allowed them to come in.
Carmen, who was eating in the guard house, seemed to have felt something. She looked out of the window and saw a man in black sportswear while wearing a black helmet riding a sport bicycle into the school. I think that I might have seen something earlier… Or, perhaps I’m wrong.
After speedily finishing her lunch, she returned to the classroom to continue observing the stock market as they had 1 hour 30 minutes of rest time in the afternoon. As soon as she entered the classroom and sat on her seat, she heard the girl beside her discussing something in excitement, so she approached them to listen.
“There are a few super handsome men playing basketball in the basketball field!”
“Really? How handsome are they?”
“Look here—someone posted their photos in our class chat group.”
“Wow! They are handsome! Let’s go check it out!”
More than half of the girls in the class left in a short while. Carmen clucked her tongue and took out her phone, but for some unknown reason, she tapped open her Messenger and looked at her recently accepted friend’s profile picture in a daze. Should I take the initiative to say hi? It’s not nice to just leave him at one side, right?
Soon, only a few students were left in the classroom as most of them had probably headed out to see the handsome men. Of course, Kimberly and Flynn were still in the classroom. The two of them were intimately talking to each other, as if they were trying to irritate Carmen on purpose, but she ignored them.
For some reason, Flynn felt flustered. He found it disgusting when Carmen cared about him, but he felt empty in his heart when she ignored him. He even had a French kiss with Kimberly to secretly see Carmen’s reaction. However, Carmen was still unfazed.
Suddenly, someone clumsily barged into the classroom and headed straight for Carmen—it was Poppy, the delinquent student from Lamda class. “Carmen, why are you still here? There are handsome men playing basketball at the basketball court! Let’s go and check it out! Maybe you will find your new love!”
She tried to drag Carmen out of the classroom, but the latter felt annoyed. “I’m not going. You can go ahead to have a look.”
Poppy, who refused to listen to her, dragged her away from her seat and headed outside. Carmen, who was being dragged away, had no choice but to follow her.
When they passed by Kimberly, Poppy suddenly came to a halt and her warm expression instantly became cold and distant as she viciously muttered to Kimberly, “Hey, Stafford, listen here. I heard that you are finding fault with my bestie? I’m warning you—this school is under my watch, so if you dare to seek trouble with her again, I will see to it that you won’t get away unscathed!”
