The next morning, the leadership team of Capital Preparatory Academy stood neatly lined up at the school entrance.
They respectfully welcomed the distinguished man stepping out of a Rolls-Royce.
Seeing the row of suited middle-aged administrators, Julian cleared his throat.
“There’s no need to make such a spectacle. Mr. Barclay would like to look around on his own.”
What a joke.
If they cleared the entire campus, how was he supposed to see Miss Iris?
The principal was briefly stunned before quickly agreeing.
“Of course, of course.”
“Everyone, you may return to your duties.”
“The vice principal and I will accompany Mr. Barclay.”
“Let the students continue their normal activities.”
As the group walked deeper into the campus, they gradually began seeing students moving about freely.
The principal and vice principal enthusiastically introduced various buildings-especially the ones Ares had funded.
At the same time, they subtly hinted that the school still needed money for several future construction projects.
Ares didn’t hear a word.
His eyes continuously searched the crowd for a familiar figure.
“I saw Luke Quinn follow Iris into the cafeteria again!”
“Do you think they argued?”
“Please don’t break up! I actually ship them!”
Several students spoke loudly enough for Ares to hear every
word.
Julian nervously glanced back.

As expected.
Ares’s expression had darkened.
A little farther ahead, they passed students taking walks after lunch.

Many of them secretly stared at Ares, though none dared approach with the principal nearby.
“Hey, when are you updating your Luke-and-Iris fanfiction?”
“We’ve got exams lately. I’ll write more afterward.”
“Sigh. As a Luke Quinn fan, I honestly think Iris isn’t good enough for him.”
“But since he likes her so much, what can I do?”
Cold sweat immediately broke out across Julian’s back.
Since when did high school students have fan clubs?
Every few steps, they overheard another ridiculous rumor involving Iris and Luke.
Each one was more exaggerated than the last.
By the time they reached the cafeteria entrance, Ares’s face was darker than the bottom of a burnt pot.
“Principal, could we ask a student to show us around?” Ares suddenly said.
The principal and vice principal were already getting tired from talking.
“Of course! I’ll have the student council president-”
“No need.”
Ares finally spoke.
Among the crowd leaving the cafeteria, he had finally found his target.
Though the male student standing nearby caused his eyes to darken slightly.
“That student will do.”
“The one with the ponytail.”
The principal followed the direction of his finger.

“You mean Iris Noir?”
“She’s a transfer student. She may not be very familiar with the school-”
“Her.”
At that point, the principal could only nod.
“I’ll have someone call her over immediately.”
Recently, Iris had been dealing with a headache of a different kind.

She had assumed Luke Quinn’s confession was just a casual remark and hadn’t taken it seriously.
She had badly underestimated both his sincerity and his persistence.
This was now the thirtieth time Luke had somehow pinpointed her location in a crowded cafeteria and squeezed his way over to greet her.
“Iris, what are you getting for lunch?”
“I can grab your food for you.”
“Or I can recommend something.”
“The roast beef sandwich from that station is really good.”
Before he could finish, Iris walked straight past him.
As though he didn’t exist.
Luke wasn’t discouraged.
Just as he was about to follow, the class monitor hurried into the cafeteria and slipped directly between them.
“Iris, the principal wants to see you.”
“He said a distinguished guest needs someone to accompany him.”
“Okay.”
At this point, Iris wanted to be as far away from Luke as possible.
Still…

:
What kind of important guest required her specifically?
The answer became clear the moment she stepped outside and saw Ares Barclay.
Yes.
That definitely qualified as a distinguished guest.
Julian immediately caught on and turned around.
“Gentlemen, perhaps we should continue discussing the school’s investment projects elsewhere.”
The principal practically beamed.
“Good, good! Let’s go upstairs!”
Within moments, everyone had left.
Only Ares and Iris remained at the cafeteria entrance.
Ares raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Miss Noir isn’t going to give me a tour?”
“Where do you want to go?”
He pointed toward a small artificial lake nearby.

Several luxurious lounge chairs sat beneath the shade of trees for students to rest and cool off.
Iris assumed he was simply tired.
Without another word, she led him over.
Meanwhile, Luke had finally finished getting his lunch.
The moment he turned around, Iris was gone.
He quickly stopped the class monitor.
“Have you seen Iris?”
“She’s helping the school leadership entertain a guest.”
Luke frowned.
“A guest? Male or female?”

“Male.”
Luke shot to his feet. “Are you kidding me?!”
