Thomas stroked and wiped the tip of her nose and then siniled at her. “There’s icing on your

nose.”

He smiled softly, as though he was a flower that bloomed in the spring after the snow melted away.

He looked a lot warmer than his usual frosty self.

Sylvia had a difficult time smiling or appreciating his kind gesture.

Thomas noticed her blank reaction, so he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“N-Nothing. Let’s go back, our cake is waiting,” she stammered and nervously walked away. trying to
draw distance from him. Thomas felt slightly disheartened, but he followed her nevertheless.

However, when he was at the table, he saw Sylvia got herself sandwiched between two female
lecturers.

He paused for a moment and sat down opposite her.

The group soon gathered around the table.

A piece of cake, taken randomly from everyone’s masterpiece, was served together with boxes of fruit
juices. Christopher said with a smile, “Before we dig into our masterpiece, let’s have a toast using the
juice box!”

Sylvia raised the juice box along with everyone else but she met Thomas’ gaze as soon as she looked
up The man was looking at her with a frosty gaze.



Sylvia’s gaze turned evasive before she nervously looked away. After a sip of Juice, she started
scooping the cake into her mouth Thomas sat opposite her, eating his own plate of cake while watching
her eat

He felt disheartened when he noticed she showed no intention of looking at him.

The event continued after the cake-eating session but Sylvia lost interest to enjoy the other activities

She tried her best to avoid Thomas’ gaze at all times. She either squeezed herself into a group of
female lecturers or stayed beside Christopher

When it was time to play inint games and everyone way requested to have intiinate Interaction, she
carne up with an excuse and escaped to the wasliroon

She managed to make it until the end of the event

nconspicuous side door, attempting to flee to the parking lot without being noticed. However, the
moment she stepped out of the door, a person came in from the side and stood in front of her The man
stared into her eyes coldly. Sylvia awkwardly smiled and asked, “Thomas? What are you doing here?”
“Why are you avoiding me?” Thomas went straight to the point with his question. Sylvia’s gaze turned
evasive. She said, “W-What? Since when am I avoiding you?” “From the cake-eating to the mini
games, you have been avoiding me,” he said as he continued to stare into her eyes, Sylvia gulped
nervously. His eyes were crystal clear with a hint of resentment. He was like a boy whose candy was
taken away from him.

Sylvia felt bad and guilty because of his gaze. A few seconds of awkward silence later, Sylvia
helplessly said, “Thomas, I’m not avoiding you on purpose.” “Then why?” “If we’re too close, it will raise
a lot of questions and garner unwanted attention. A lot of people think we’re romantically involved.” A



quick pause later, she continued, “You’re still young. You haven’t even started dating. I cannot ruin it for
you.” He continued staring at her. “Are you telling the truth?” She avoided him because she was afraid
to ruin his future? Or had she noticed his feelings for her, hence the intentional avoiding? Sylvia blinked
blankly and said, “of course, I’m telling the truth.” Thomas looked at her. “You won’t ruin it for me.”
Sylvia was stunned by his words and also bis deep and sincere gaze,
