Chapter 1788 Ingratiation

That same afternoon, the lot of them gathered for lunch together.

The venue chosen was a small eatery just outside of the school grounds, and a thoroughly unremarkable one, at that.

When Susan arrived, she saw that the environment was not the best and was concerned about whether it would be to Ian’s liking. Hence, she decided to draw out a piece of tissue to wipe down the stool for him.

With keen eyes and quick hands, she grabbed something and started to give the seat Ian was about to occupy a good cleaning up.

Susan was stunned to see that the item used was a pristine white handkerchief that was obvious at one glance to be something that she had brought along herself.
