Chapter 103


    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 a


    little surreal.


    As long as she was idle, she couldn’t help thinking about getting married. Then, she would think of


    Christopher and the kissst night.


    She felt restless.


    After the morning ss, Yuliana chatted with Jonathan for more than 20 minutes during PE ss. She


    didn’t know whether her words worked and felt that the children should understand some of their


    parents’


    decisions at some time.


    Back in the office, after ten o’clock, she had no ss in the morning. She looked through the


    uncorrected homework and was ready to mark it. However, with a red pen in her hand and looking at


    the 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 she


    didn’t know why she was so abnormal today.


    That situation had never urred 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 all


    grade 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 several


    times, and Fiona told her after seeing it.


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


    the


    message.


    Socialization was a very important part of their work in academia. After all, they had to work together


    for 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 nced 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 help


    but 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 and


    flickered


    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. Christopher


    Sce, Mr. Kendrick Sce asked you to go to the conference room.”


    The office was temporarily vacated. It had been vacant before, and thendline had not yet been


    connected, so the secretary came to inform him in person.


    “Got it.”


    Christopher didn’t raise his head. He repliedzily, stared at the response for two seconds, and then


    put 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 simply


    remained silent.


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


    She even felt nervous and uneasy.


    The ce 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 had


    previous 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 and


    taught the second grade directly.


    On the way to dinner, Fiona kept joking with Spencer, “Mr. Carl, what kind of women do you like? Why


    don’t I introduce some to you?”


    Spencer was two years older than Fiona and three years older than Yuliana. He was 27 years old this


    year. His hometown was in a city around Juxshire. His family was inferior to the wealthy families in


    Juxshire. However, his family conditions were already quite good.


    Spencer smiled and nced at Yuliana sitting in the back seat from the rearview mirror without anyone


    noticing, 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’t


    respond 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 grades


    almost arrived. There were two big round tables in the private room, and there were three seats left.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


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


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


    drink.


    Yuliana and Fiona were not good at drinking, but even so, the nasty drinking culture was still nted


    within them, especially since there were many elderly teachers at the table.


    Atst, Spencer stood out and said, “It has nothing to do with Ms. Livingstone and Ms. rk. I waste


    because I was slow. “Well, I’ll drink wine for the twodies. How about letting them drink water instead


    of wine?”


    Spencer emphasized that they weredies. For this, others couldn’t help but listen to his arrangements.


    Otherwise, they would appear to bully thedies.


    Anyway, Yuliana and Fiona were the youngest.


    Most of the tables were full of elderly teachers. After drinking, they couldn’t hold back anymore. They


    talked nonsense and smoked cigarettes. Their voices were even louder than usual in ss. Yuliana sat


    in 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 to


    the couch in the rest area and sat down. Then, she took out her phone and looked at it. After hesitating


    for a moment, she sent a message to Christopher.


    “Can you pick me upter?”


    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.


    ufortable due to the pungent smell.


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