473 NO!

"Hope, right?" Kace stopped in front of Oliver's table.

With his presence, all the conversations at that long table, immediately died down as their heads turned to look at the new P.E teacher.

Hope didn't know if Kace would directly confront her like this. She thought it would only annoy him and he would scold her later.

"Yes." Hope's lips were slightly ajar as she could feel the countless gazes that were now directed at her.

"Good, I need your help. Can you come with me for a while?" Kace asked with a warm smile.

"This is lunch time," Oliver protested. He was still upset because of the incident from a few days ago. It was simply embarrassing. "She needs to take a break too."

"Hope, come with me." Kace completely ignored Oliver's words as his eyes stayed fixed on Hope's.

"Sir…" Oliver wanted to complain again, but Hope had put her hand on his shoulder to stop him.
