Chapter 53
“Don’t be foolish! I still have you. Even if you were to get married, I’ll visit you frequently.”
There was a hint of sorrow in her tone.
Roger remained silent, but he made a silent vow in his heart.
After a restless, sleepless night, Ste decided it was time to get up. The sky was still dark outside.
She arrived at the training center so early that even the security guard wasn’t there yet.

She swiped her card and entered the building. She sat down, ced her bag down, and took out a bun
from inside for breakfast.
Roger would usually have breakfast in school, so she didn’t bother preparing herself an borate
breakfast. She was fine as long as she didn’t feel hungry.
After she finished her breakfast , she changed into her workout gear and started doing some warm-up
exercises.
It was only when she was dancing that she felt like the old Ste-the Ste who was pampered like a
princess by her parents, nevercking in love and always morous, at the center of everyone’s
attention.
Her chin was always lifted high and proud wherever she went.
In contrast, she would always walk around with her head and eyes lowered now, as if the only thing she
wanted most was to disappear into the crowd, away from everyone’s prying eyes.
The soft sound of footsteps sounded from outside. People were starting to stream into the training
center
Those who spotted Ste were not surprised to see her and greeted her as usual.
Ste had always been the most diligent teacher here. Coupled with her strong foundation and
patience, she was very well-liked amongst the parents.
Such special, extracurricr training centers would usually have a rmendation system – Parents
who liked a particr teacher would rmend that teacher to other parents.
Parents would go ahead and register their kids for sses taught by a specific teacher, and the
teacher, in turn, would be able to receive a portion of the registration fees.
Ste was doing some leg, stretches when she heard the sharp, sour voices of a couple of women
from behind her.
“You’re here so early again. Seems like you’re doing pretty well…”
“I don’t think she’s just putting on a show. She has so many students in her ss, of course, she has to
come early to prepare. Otherwise, she’d end up wasting everyone’s time.” “Do you really think that she
has so many students because she teaches well?”
“What else could it be?”
The woman looked at Ste’s lithe figure through the ss and said with jealousy, “It’s only because
she’s pretty! Looks are key in today’s society. Just look at that face of hers. Didn’t you notice that it’s
the fathers whoe and register their children for her sses? You’re still young and tender and
don’t understand how society works!”
Even the young teaching intern could sense the jealousy in her words.
However, she was not bold enough to rebut her, and instead simply smiled and tried to smooth things
over, “How could that be? You’re quite pretty yourself, too. What’s more, there are many mothers who
register their children for Teacher E’s sses too….”
The other woman ignored the second part of her sentence and focused only on the first half.
A wide grin spread across her face, unable to hide her glee. Yet, she went on to say, “How could I be
as pretty as E? She probablyes in a couple of hours early to do her make-up. Look at her skin-
it’s probably some natural – colored makeup she has on. How scheming of her…”
Ste simply ignored the ongoing conversation.
After so many years, she had long gotten used to the people around her.
There would be nock of people making up stories behind other people’s backs, and there would also
be a fair share of people who would try to set the record straight. Thus, she merely focused on being
herself, ignoring what the others thought.
