38 Chapter 36 (1/2)

SMASH!

Both Eric and Evangeline's eyes, as well as the other students, snapped towards that cluttering sound.

”Watch where you're going, freak!” A s.e.xy woman yelled while her minions beside her all snickered as they left the cafeteria, leaving a woman, lying on the floor with clattered foods and broken plates around her.

When the students saw who it was on the floor, they resumed eating like nothing happened, like it was just an everyday occurrence. Some didn't even want to get implicated as they circled their way from the kneeling woman on the ground.

Evangeline too didn't bother with it as she resumed to finish her meal. However, her eyebrows creased when Eric stood up.

She immediately yanked his sleeve.

”Where are you going, Eric?” She smiled, yet her eyes held warning as her voice turned threatening.

”I'm just going to clean the clutter. I'll be right back,” Eric replied, didn't mind Evangeline's tone of voice.

”We've already agreed that you won't be working here anymore.” Evangeline dryly chuckled without humor.

She didn't like it if someone disobeyed her order even it was Eric, and she didn't like it more if someone disturbed her alone time with him.

”Yes, but our agreement only starts next week. So in a sense, I'm still working here.”

Eric softly planted a smile on his face and gently pinched the woman's hand that was yanking his sleeve which caused Evangeline to withdraw her hand lighting fast as if being electrocuted.

Eric chuckled and added. ”And besides, I haven't handed my resignation letter yet. Just wait here and continue eating. I'll be right back.”

Then Eric stormed towards the kitchen without waiting for Evangeline's response. And moments later, he came back with a trolley, a mop, dustpan and broom in hand.

”Sorry...”

The lady on the floor muttered softly when Eric approached her as she kneeled on the floor, trying to pick up her mess, but Eric tightly held her arm and gently yanked her back.

”Don't touch it. You might slice your fingers. Leave this to me.” Without waiting for the girl to reply, Eric swiftly dusted the broken plates and mopped the floor clean.

Minutes had pa.s.sed, and everything was spotless once more.

”Thank you.” The girl softly said, her voice lax and low, yet it had this rebellious and unbending tone to it that Eric couldn't help but glanced to take a look at the woman.

Gla.s.ses met gla.s.ses, and Eric was momentarily stunned by the girl's appearance.

Black hair, darker than night, framing her flawless face. A sharp contrast against her pale skin and thin pouty cherry-like lips.

But that was not what made Eric momentarily lost himself. It was those eyes behind those round spectacles. It reminded him of Evangeline's purple ones.

While Evangeline's eyes were the lighter shade of purple almost blue, the girl, however, had a darker shade of violet almost black.

And for the woman, seeing up close the man who helped her, she too was momentarily stunned.

Such ashen silvery eyes.

Unconsciously, she wanted to reach out and wiped those messy hairs from his forehead to get a closer view of his eyes.

Before she could even raise her hand, however, a stunning lady blocked her view.

”Don't you think you have stared long enough, Miss...?” Evangeline purposely hanged her sentence so she could get the name of the meddler.

The girl blinked before arranging her gla.s.ses, not one bit affected at the intimidating woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

”Satele Risova.”

Evangeline smiled, yet her smile held scorn and threat

Evangeline smiled, yet her smile held scorn and threat. ”I think you should wash your clothes Miss Risova, least you wanted it to stain.”
