Sylvia arrived at the event venue just on time and it was already crowded with people. She greeted the
other lecturers she saw on the way as she went inside. Christopher found her soon enough and waved
at her. “Sylvia, come on! We’re preparing to bake our New Year’s cake! They are all waiting for you!”
Sylvia went over with a smile.
The cakes were already baked, so all that was left was the decoration. There were colorful creams,
icing, chocolate-made figures, and all kinds of intricate decorations for everyone to decorate their own
cake. Almost everyone participated in the cake-decorating event. It was even livelier than the
Springsteen family’s event last night.
The liveliness spread swiftly and Sylvia soon found herself decorating the cake with several other

One of the lecturers asked, “Ms. Ross, I heard you and Mr. Carter danced at the Springsteen family’s
ball last night.” Her words directed almost all the attention toward Sylvia.
Sylvia’s gaze shifted as she said calmly, “We were standing together and the spotlight just so
happened to pick us, so we had to dance.”
“Why do I think you and Mr. Carter are perfect for each other?”
“Yeah. Mr. Carter has a frosty personality and he doesn’t like to talk to us. Before you joined the
academy, we invited him to many events but he never once showed up. It was after you joined, that he
would attend events that you attend. Look, speaking of the devil, there he is!”
Sylvia furrowed her brows and saw Thomas standing with the other male lecturers on the other side.
His tall figure and outstanding presence stood out from the rest, making him easily recognizable.
When Sylvia looked at him, he too, looked at her. Sylvia slightly furrowed her brows and retracted her
gaze. She continued decorating the cake and explained, “Our parents were good friends, and we knew
each other since we were young, so we’re rather close.”
“Really!”
“Yeah ” Sylvia put an end to the topic with that last word
The other lecturers wanted to continue the gossip but Sylvia reinained quiet throughout the Tolentirse

back to him. Two of them even had multiple glances at Sylvia.
The prying gaze started to make Sylvia feel uncomfortable, so she simply came up with an excuse and
left the group.
She went over to the literature side of the event where some of the literature lecturers were reciting
famous quotes from books. Sylvia listened to the recitation and got carried away. She did not even
notice that a man was standing beside her. “Okay, everyone. Stop what you’re doing. It’s time to eat
cakes!” It was until Christopher called out to everyone, only then Sylvia regained her composure. The
moment she turned around, she saw Thomas standing beside her.
His hands were pocketed in his jacket and he was listening to the recitation until Sylvia turned around.
Sylvia smiled at him and wanted to go back to the cake section. It was then a chilly finger stroked the
tip of her nose.
