The cafeteria courtyard was abuzz with activity as Kieran stepped out of his luxury car, followed by six bodyguards in sharp black suits.
Kieran was the epitome of sophistication, clad in a suit impeccable in every sense, with the Sutton family’s crest pinned proudly on his chest. His features were strikingly handsome, and his deep-set eyes seemed to draw one in with a glance, radiating an aura that warned strangers to keep their distance.
Cindy and Mae's eyes lit up with excitement when they saw Kieran.
"Can you believe it? Mr. Sutton himself! He must be here for Eloise."
"Who else would he be here for? Surely, not for Freya!"
Everyone knew Kieran had no interest in Freya. He barely glanced her way, so why would he come to school to see her?
Eloise decided to approach, saying, "It's crowded here. Let's see what's happening."
Eager for some drama, Cindy and Mae followed her.
Eloise walked up to Kieran. "Kieran, what brings you to school today?"
Kieran's face tensed up a bit when he saw Eloise. He had come for Freya and didn't anticipate seeing Eloise there.
"Mr. Sutton, you must be here for Eloise, right? We'll leave you two."
Mae was sure Kieran was there for Eloise, but as they left, Kieran said indifferently, "No need. My grandmother sent me to pick up Freya for dinner."
He scanned the crowd, instructing his bodyguards, "Look for her over there."
