Chapter 103 Can You Pick Me Up?

If it had been a few months ago, Yuliana would not have believed it.

Yuliana didn’t reply to Christopher. Although she knew clearly that she was not dreaming, she still felt alittle surreal.

As long as she was idle, she couldn’t help thinking about getting married. Then, she would think ofChristopher and the kiss last night.

She felt restless.

After the morning class, Yuliana chatted with Jonathan for more than 20 minutes during PE class. Shedidn’t know whether her words worked and felt that the children should understand some of theirparents’

decisions at some time.

Back in the office, after ten o’clock, she had no class in the morning. She looked through theuncorrected homework and was ready to mark it. However, with a red pen in her hand and looking atthe homework in front of her, she couldn’t focus.

The man’s face came to her mind again.

She had always been strong in self-control. She could calm down if she wanted to do anything, but shedidn’t know why she was so abnormal today.

That situation had never occurred before.

“Ms. Livingstone, do you know about Mr. Norris’ invitation to dinner?”

Hearing Fiona’s voice, Yuliana came back to her senses and asked, “What dinner?”

Fiona said, “Mr. Norris from the office next door informed the group of his dinner invitation. He’ll treat allgrade teachers to dinner. Didn’t you read the group message?”

Hearing this, Yuliana checked the news on WhatsApp. As Fiona said after Sawyer informed the group,other teachers agreed, but Yuliana had not responded. Sawyer had tagged Yuliana in the group severaltimes, and Fiona told her after seeing it.

Yuliana hurriedly agreed in the group chat, and then she apologized to Sawyer, saying she didn’t noticethe

message.

Socialization was a very important part of their work in academia. After all, they had to work togetherfor most of their lives. It was inevitable for them to eat and socialize.

Although Yuliana didn’t want to go, she had to show others her respect.

After replying to Sawyer, Yuliana finally calmed down and began to mark her students’ homework.

However, it didn’t take long before her phone dinged. It was a text message.

She glanced at the screen and saw the familiar numbers.

It was from Christopher. He asked her to have dinner with him tonight.

Yuliana originally ignored him and continued to mark her homework. But after a while, she couldn’t helpbut look up at her phone and finally picked it up to reply to him.

“I have something to do tonight. I can’t have dinner with you.”

Soon, Christopher replied, “What’s the matter?”

Yuliana replied, “My colleague’s birthday dinner. He invited all grade teachers.”

Christopher wrote. “I’ll go with you, and you can introduce them to me.”

Yuliana responded, “No”

Christopher sat in the empty office and turned the chair. The sunlight shone through the louvers andflickered

on him.

He looked at Yuliana’s response for a long time and asked, “Why not?”

The message was seen quickly, but Yuliana didn’t reply to him.

At this time, the door of the office was opened, and Kendrick’s secretary came in, “Mr. ChristopherSolace, Mr. Kendrick Solace asked you to go to the conference room.”

The office was temporarily vacated. It had been vacant before, and the landline had not yet beenconnected, so the secretary came to inform him in person.

“Got it.”

Christopher didn’t raise his head. He replied lazily, stared at the response for two seconds, and thenput away his phone before following the secretary to the conference room.

“Why not?”

Yuliana looked at the message sent by Christopher, but she didn’t know how to reply, so she simplyremained silent.

Although she decided to marry Christopher, she hadn’t made their relationship public yet.

She even felt nervous and uneasy.

The place for dinner in the evening was a Clusian restaurant, some distance away from the school.Yuliana and Fiona went there in the car of a math teacher.

The teacher was Spencer Carl.

Compared to Yuliana and Fiona, he joined Juxshire Primary School a year after them. However, he hadprevious experience teaching in a private school. In addition, when he joined Juxshire Primary School,a math teacher in their grade happened to pass away from an illness. Therefore, he handled over andtaught the second grade directly.

On the way to dinner, Fiona kept joking with Spencer, “Mr. Carl, what kind of women do you like? Whydon’t I introduce some to you?”

Spencer was two years older than Fiona and three years older than Yuliana. He was 27 years old thisyear. His hometown was in a city around Juxshire. His family was inferior to the wealthy families inJuxshire. However, his family conditions were already quite good.

Spencer smiled and glanced at Yuliana sitting in the back seat from the rearview mirror without anyonenoticing, saying, “Someone gentle and good-looking.”

Fiona smiled, “Mr. Carl, your requirement is too broad. How about being more specific?”

Yuliana didn’t join the conversation, and she didn’t even listen to what they said. Since she didn’trespond to the message to Christopher in the morning, Christopher didn’t send any more messages.

Did he get angry again?

After all, he was petty and would get angry over trivial matters.

Yuliana thought.

Soon, they arrived at the Clusian restaurant where they had dinner. The other teachers of other gradesalmost arrived. There were two big round tables in the private room, and there were three seats left.

Yuliana sat next to Fiona, while Spencer sat next to Yuliana.

The three of them arrived late. As soon as they arrived, the elderly teacher shouted, asking the three todrink.

Yuliana and Fiona were not good at drinking, but even so, the nasty drinking culture was still plantedwithin them, especially since there were many elderly teachers at the table.

At last, Spencer stood out and said, “It has nothing to do with Ms. Livingstone and Ms. Clark. I was latebecause I was slow. “Well, I’ll drink wine for the two ladies. How about letting them drink water insteadof wine?”

Spencer emphasized that they were ladies. For this, others couldn’t help but listen to his arrangements.Otherwise, they would appear to bully the ladies.

Anyway, Yuliana and Fiona were the youngest.

Most of the tables were full of elderly teachers. After drinking, they couldn’t hold back anymore. Theytalked nonsense and smoked cigarettes. Their voices were even louder than usual in class. Yuliana satin the private room for a while and felt that she couldn’t breathe.

After saying something in Fiona’s ear, she picked up her phone and left the private room.

The environment in the restaurant was not very good, but there was still a rest area. Yuliana went tothe couch in the rest area and sat down. Then, she took out her phone and looked at it. After hesitatingfor a moment, she sent a message to Christopher.

“Can you pick me up later?”

After typing, she tapped to send it.

Then, she kept staring at the screen of her phone, holding it tighter, and her palms were sweating.

She heard someone calling her name before she could respond to Christopher.

Yuliana looked up and saw Spencer approaching.

“Ms. Livingstone, why are you here?” Spencer sat down.

Yuliana could sense that he had been drinking and smoking in the private room and felt a little.uncomfortable due to the pungent smell.

However, she didn’t say anything. She smiled and replied, “I came out for a while for relaxation.”
