Ian shrugged his shoulders helplessly and looked at Leah. His eyes were full of tenderness as he said, “I wish to accompany Sarah as I’m not comfortable leaving her alone. However, I’m occupied at work.”

“Tsk tsk. Look at the lovebirds.”

“Someone has finally captured the heart of our school hunk. So many girls are going to have their hearts broken.”

The men at the table chatted merrily and teased Ian and Leah. In contrast, the two female volunteers had bitter expressions and hardly consumed any food.

“Why aren’t you eating?” Bryan asked in concern when he noticed the women’s odd attitude.

The lady with curly hair, Rebecca Patel, forced a smile and said, “It’s all right. I can’t take spicy food.”

Ian said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I selected this restaurant as Sarah likes the food here. I forget to ask for your preferences.”

Rebecca scowled, her eyes glistening as she tried to fight back her tears. While Leah failed to notice the woman’s annoyance, Serena did. She smirked as she realized she had discovered a secret.

When dinner was coming toward the end, Sunny and the rest gave a toast to Ian. After downing three glasses of alcohol, Ian said, “Although I’m unable to join the trip, I’m confident that you guys will look after Sarah for me. She has a weak physique, so I’m worried that she’s unable to adapt to the harsh conditions there. Do keep me informed if there’s an emergency.”

“Of course, we will. We have been friends for so long, Ian. We’ll definitely take good care of your fiancee.” Bryan, who was slightly intoxicated, pounded his chest and assured. Sunny, on the other hand, was unusually silent. His face flushed and his eyes were hollow as if he was deep in thought.
