Chapter 15

Stepping out of the school gates, a sleek silver Porsche rolled up slowly

Jocelyn recognized the car. It was Melvin’s.

Willow, who was about to hop in her car, paused and stared at the car too

As the person in the car got out. Jocelyn was still debating whether to enthusiastically hug him when someone else beat her to it, rushing over and hugging Melvin tightly

“Why are you here? Don’t tell me you’re trying to surprise me. Willow looked up at him with a smile, her sweet voice tinged with a playful whine.

Jocelyn was stunned She wasn’t seeing things, Willow was hugging Melvin.

Melvin was obviously taken aback for a few seconds too. Seeing Jocelyn’s joy slowly drowning, he gently pushed Willow away. “Mind the image

There’s hardly anyone here, no worries.” Willow clung to his arm again, “I’m so hungry. Will you take me out to eat? I’m craving steak.

Jocelyn’s mind was a mess. She never would have guessed that Melvin and Willow knew each other, let alone seemed

quite close.

She couldn’t help but think back to that night at the club, wondering if the woman who got into his car was Willow

She felt there was no need to stand there any longer. Keeping up a polite smile, she said, “Willow, I’m really grateful you took time out of your busy schedule to come to the school and make the students’ fan dreams come true”

“No need for thanks, Jocelyn. I was a student here too, and I haven’t really done much for the school, so I feel quite embarrassed

Willow had a way with words. She said, “I’m sorry for bothering you today and disrupting teaching time.”

Polite and humble, she was hard not to like.

“Feel free to come back and visit anytime, Jocelyn offered generously.

Definitely, Willow smiled. “Jocelyn, you don’t have to worry about me. Go do your thing.”

Jocelyn glanced at Melvin, who looked back at her indifferently.

The two standing together were a sight for sore eyes.

Feeling a sourness in her heart, she didn’t want to embarrass herself and turned away.

Just at that moment, as she turned, it felt like sand had gotten into her eyes, causing discomfort.
