Luca walked into the classroom.

The parents who were sitting in the front row already noticed her. It was Luca's first time coming here. The parents did not know who she was, and they looked at her with curiosity.

Luca felt like she had become a specimen, standing there and letting those people stare at her.

Fortunately, she had attended Lanie's and Rainie's parent-teacher conferences before, and she had experience in handling such situations.

Tommy noticed her and waved his hand excitedly. “Ms. Luca, here!"

Luca smiled and walked toward him.

While she was on her way walking toward Tommy, she swept her gaze across and caught some information.

The parents who came to attend the parent-teacher conference were well-dressed. Some of them even put on jewelry, showing off how wealthy their families were.

It was a classroom, but they made it look like they were going to a banquet.

Every parent was dressed in their best clothes. They compared themselves to each other, afraid that others were better than them.

Luca looked down and glanced at her clothes. The officewear she wore was branded, but it was nothing compared to the designer clothes the other parents were dressed in.

It was just like the car Warren drove. It was good enough for an ordinary family.

However, among all the rows of luxurious cars outside the school, it looked plain and cheap.

Luca arrived at Tommy's seat and said, "I'm here."

"I knew you'd keep your promise. Take a seat!" Tommy smiled and patted the seat beside him.

Luca sat on the chair.

Tommy behaved himself and sat on the small bench beside her. Then, he introduced Ms. Luca to his deskmate beside him, "Ashley, meet Ms. Luca."
