Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

John quickly stepped forward to intervene. "You don't have to listen to Ruby, Yvette. We'll talk to Mr. Sunderland. If you don't want to join, then you don't have to." Hearing that Yvette had already agreed, Ruby quickly jumped in "Since you've agreed to join Arts Festival, I'll be looking forward to it. The application forms will be sent to cach department by the student council.

With that, she led her group away, clearly eager to leave before Yvette could change her mind.

Yvette noticed the worried looks on Bonnie and John's faces, and she felt a bit touched by their concern.

"Con, let's go. If we don't hurry, the pork ribs in the cafeteria will be gone Bonnie suddenly remembered the ribs, slapped her thigh, and quickly pulled Yvette along.

John followed behind, carrying the documents, watching as Bonnie rushell ahead while Yvette strolled calmly, completely unfazed. He sighed, wondering how these two could be thinking about pork ribs at a tlike this.

This is a competition in front of the entire school, and sometimes even media sponsors cto broadcast it live. If we don't do well... John felt sick with worry. But then he remembered the last Frixyian competition, and that thought calmed him a little- She always has a way of surprising people. If she agrees to join Art Festival, she must have something up her sleeve! John thought. Ever since he met Yvette, John couldn't help but feel like he'd turned into a nagging mom.

Wait for me. I want it stoo, John called out.

In the cafeteria. Andrew stared at his bowl, then glanced at his dish and Jeremiah's. He felt a surge of unfairness. Why did the cafeteria lady pile so much food on Jeremiah's plate but skimp on mine? Jeremiah's plate is overflowing with ribs, while I only have three or four pieces-for the sprice! This is blatant discrimination, he thought.

"If you keep staring like that, you're going to burn a hole through your bowl, Jeremiah teased.

Jeremiah's long legs didn't quite fit under the cafeteria table, forcing him to bend them slightly, looking a bit uncomfortable. The girls nearby casually glanced over at Jeremiah and Andrew, though most of their attention was naturally focused on Jeremiah.

Andrew glanced at Jeremiah, who was slowly chewing his food. Jeremiah, what's going on with you today? Trying to relive your high school days or something with that outfit?" Jeremiah was wearing a white T-shirt, track pants, and a pair of sneakers. Even back in college, Andrew had never seen him dressed like this. He was completely shocked.

Jeremiah hesitated slightly, his cutlery in hand. "Just threw something on," he replied casually.

Andrew was speechless. Does Jeremiah think I'm blind? He spent half an hour picking out that outfit before coming here. And he calls that “Just threw something on?" It might look simple and ordinary, but Andrew wasn't easily fooled. Jeremiah's outfit was all custom-made from the exclusive old designer brand in Betrico, and those shoes? They probably cost him tens of thousands of dollars.

When did Jeremiali start lying so blatantly? He's changed! He's gone completely downhill! Andrew remarked silently. Andrew examined Jeremiah's outfit again. Why does this look so familiar?" Then, Yvette walked in, and it hit him. They're in matching outfits! Isn't this how Yvette usually dresses? No one would believe they aren't a couple after seeing their outfits.

66%1 Chapter 69 "Yvette, Bonnie, over here, over here!" Andrew called out.

The table with Jeremiah and Andrew stood out in the whole cafeteria, drawing everyone's attention.

Even from ten feet away, one could feel Jeremiah's commanding presence, Aside from a few bold girls who tried to get closer and strike up a conversation, everyone else kept their distance. Despite this, Andrew, having grown used to eating with Jeremiah, didn't find it strange.

When Andrew called out to them, Bonnie quickly dragged Yvette over. To be honest, even without Andrew's call, their table was hard to miss.

It was lunchtime, and everywhere else was packed. Their table was the only one with empty seats, making it impossible to ignore.

"Andrew, Top Dog, you're eating here too? What a coincidence... Bonnie said.

Jeremiah nodded in acknowledgment, then looked over at Yvette Tve gof your ribs and rice ready; sit down and enjoy: Yvette casually pulled a candy from her pocket and placed it in front of Jeremiah. The message was clear-a candy in exchange for the meal.

Jeremiah chuckled, picked up the candy, and slipped it into his pocket.

The other three felt like they were already full from the couple's sweetness before even starting their meal. Bonnie, not expecting Jeremiah to serve her, winked and nudged John to go get sfood.

Andrew felt slightly upset seeing Bonnie's carefree attitude, as it she had no concern for maintaining proper distance between men and women. 'Doesn't this girl know there's a difference between boys and girls? All that pulling and tugging isn't appropriate! Andrew cleared his throat and said, “Hey, John, you just stay seated. Bonnie and I will get the food." Then, Andrew pushed John into a chair and dragged Bonnie off to get food. Even from a distance, one could hear the two of them bickering.

"Hey, don't dragaround! This is the cafeteria, and I'm the physics department representative. Show srespect!" Bonnie protested.

Andrew let go of his hand. "All right, I'll show you srespect.

"Hmph, that's better. Bonnie huffed.

John felt like a huge third wheel right then. It's creepy how these two even eat at the space! he mused. Right now, John wished he could just disappear into thin air.

When Bonnie and Andrew returned, they saw John sitting exactly the sway as before. When he saw them, his eyes lit up, as if they were his saviors.

Bonnie couldn't get any food, but Andrew, using his charm on the cafeteria lady and saying a few kind words, managed to snag the last two servings. Bonnie and John each got a portion.

With this small victory, Andrew regained his confidence. Indeed, as long as I'm not standing next to Jeremiah, I still have my own charisma At the dinner table, apart from an occasional conversation between Andrew and Bonnie, it was mostly silent. Yvette was focused on eating ribs, while Jeremiah refilled her glass.

After the meal concluded, everyone was full.

Bonnic sneaked a look at Yvette, glanced at Jeremiah, and then of observed both of them for a while. Jeremian and Yvette were both very observant, and they noticed Bonnie's gaze right away, but they both ignored her. It wasn't until Bonnie let out a curious huff that Yvette looked up and asked, "What's up?" Bonnie slapped her forehead and shouted. "I finally figured out what's wrong!" Even John, who was focused on his meal, reflexively looked up. "Bonnie, why the fuss?" Bonnie suddenly realized

everyone was looking at her. She and scratched her head awkwardly quickly sat back down to ɓog. I just realized you and Yve are wearing matching outfits today-like a couple's outfit," Bonnie remarked. Jeremiah kept a calm expression but gave Bonnie an approving look. Godd. She's more observant than Andrew. She's definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Yvette set down her cutleries, glanced briefly at Jeremiah, and shook her head. "Not really," she replied.

Jeremiah felt a bit disappointed and thought, 'What does "not really" mean? Bonnie nodded with a simple smile. "Yeah, now that I think about it, it doesn't really look like it. Yve, you usually wear canvas shoes, while Top Dog here sticks to sneakers."

Andrew laughed in disbelief. "Where did these two completely clueless women cfrom What kind of n explanation is that? The most baffling part was that Yvette looked like she totally agreed with it' Andrew was starting to feel a bit sorry for Jeremiah. He felt Jeremiah still had a long way to go to win Yvette over.

At that moment. John's phone suddenly rang. He pulled it out, saw it was Tobias, and quickly answered.

After exchanging just a few words, John hung up and glanced over at Yvette, who was busy eating ribs. "Hey, someone's looking for you in the office."
