In Diamond cubicle, the number of students who were emboldened by Aiden's passive reaction to Quentin's and Ferdinand's words increased exponentially.
Although the bowl of soup pooled on the floor, the students did not bother to make way for Aiden to clean the floor. The creamy soup sickered into the costly carpet, chunks of chicken and mushroom were scattered everywhere, some even squished under the chair legs.
Aiden went on his knees to scoop the chicken and mushroom with his hands into the pail. He then asked the students politely to move their chairs aside so he could clean the soiled carpet.
This request was infuriating and absolutely shameless.
"Why must you disturb our lunchtime?"
"Don't you know how to do it without us having to make way for you?"
"Really, the canteen needs to hire more experienced helpers."
