The ones who’d liked her never dared to get close because she would keep her distance for Jared’s sake. Back then, Jared had always been by her side, and no one else dared to approach her.
But now, Yvonne was surrounded by a group of young men showing off their muscles. Each one of them resembled a peacock on full display. Their gazes were almost shamelessly blatant as they looked at her.
“Mr. Ford?” Connor suddenly noticed that Jared had stopped.
Jared squinted, his gaze turning dangerous. He knew Yvonne wouldn’t like being around those students. As he noticed Isabel laughing and enjoying herself nearby, the answer became clear.
“Excuse me. I need to take care of something” With that, Jared walked briskly toward Yvonne.
At the same time, Yvonne said, “Isabel, I need to go to the administration office.”
She was eager to confirm the details of the collaboration for the Intangible Cultural Heritage Promotional Event. She didn‘ even notice Jared was approaching her.

Before she could finish, Jared turned and hurried off.
Shirley had been completely ignored.
Meanwhile, Yvonne had found the vice dean, Bradley Wallace, to whom she briefly explained the Intangible Cultural Heritage Promotional Event.
The college was happy to support such meaningful activities.
“That’s great! Once the event details are finalized, I’ll come by to confirm the next steps,” Yvonne said cheerfully
“Events by the Department of Arts and Culture are very educational. Feel free to contact me anytime,” Bradley replied.
Yvonne left the office in high spirits. However, as she reached the stairs, she unexpectedly ran into Jared, who was heading in the direction of the security control office to check the surveillance
Her smile vanished instantly.
“Yvvy, what are you doing here?” Jared walked toward her.

“My life is none of your business, Mr. Ford. Take care of your own problems.”
Yvonne was too tired to argue further. Without another word, she turned and headed toward the stairs.
