Some younger boys and girls were practically staring at Lynette Batton and Leon Batton, although they had already gotten used to that.
They’d been experiencing this ever since they were kids.
Wherever they went, they’d be the center of attention.
Beep, beep, beep—
Leon’s phone started ringing then.
He immediately answered upon seeing that it was from an unknown number. “Hello? Who’s this?”
“Is this Leon Batton?" a voice said. "I’m from a delivery company and there's a parcel here for you. I’m in front of your school’s entrance right now. Will you please come and collect it?”
He felt puzzled as he hadn't bought anything recently.
Besides, even if he did order something online, he’d have it delivered to his home address instead of the school.
There was only one possibility.
This parcel might be from one of his admirers.
“Please send it back. I didn’t buy anything,” he said.
“But it can’t be sent back.”
“What do you mean?” he asked.
“There is no information about the sender. Someone left this parcel in front of our entrance this morning with some money in the box. I hope you can understand. Please sign and collect it. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome for me.”
“All right, got it. Leave it at the security office then,” Leon replied. He didn’t want to put someone in a tight spot.
“I think I need to hand it to you personally because it’s a little heavy.”
“I’m not in school. Leave it,” he insisted.
“Okay.”
The caller then hung up.
