Sylvia smiled back “Goodbye.” Shortly after that, they arrived at the gate. Sylvia turned and returned upstairs upon making surethat they had entered Odell’s car. She changed her clothes, put on a coat and a scars, then she went to her car and proceededto drive to the venue where the seminar was hosted.

Meanwhile, in the other car that was already speeding down the lane, the driver was focused on driving In the backseat wereLiam, Isabel, and Odell. Liam was sitting quietly by himself while Isabel was propped on Odell’s lap. She was staring intently atthe snow outside when she abruptly turned around and stared at Odell.

Odell noticed her staring at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Isabel asked with a tight grimace, “Are you bullying my Mommy again?”

Odell frowned and answered, “Not that | know of.”

He had not seen her for almost a month by now, so he could not do anything to her even if he wanted to.

Isabel narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “Why is it that every time you come to pick us up, Mommy tells me that she can’t go withus because she has something else planned?” Odell fell silent for a couple of seconds, then explained, “Maybe she really isbusy.”

Isabel pouted. “Okay.”She turned back to the window, immediately entranced by the snow falling from the sky outside.Odell stole a glance at Liam who was sitting beside him.

The boy was seated upright with his eyes gazing forward stoutly. There was not a trace of emotion on his face, so he could notpossibly decipher what was on his mind. It would seem that he did not tell Isabel about their parent’s divorce. The boy was quitemature for his age.

Sylvia arrived at the venue of the seminar shortly after that.It was in a hotel near the academy. The venue was very cozy, and many teachers had already arrived.Christopher was here as well. Upon seeing Sylvia, he immediately went up to her with a sizable crowd following him as well.

Sylvia greeted everybody with a warm and infectious smile, then she sat down next to Christopher. While waiting for everybodyto arrive, they began making small talk.

Meanwhile, Sylvia ate snacks and listened to their conversation,Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

Sylvia inspected the scene curiously and saw a group of young female teachers flocking towards the entrance of the venue. Thehall echoed with their rabid cries.

“Oh my God! My heart!”

“Mr. Carter is so handsome!”

Upon hearing the name “Mr. Carter’, Sylvia understood that it was Thomas arriving.

Christopher was irked by this inappropriate scene and cleared his throat a few times.

Immediately after that, two teachers of considerable seniority went to the crowd and got them to disperse. Shortly after that,

Thomas's tall and slender figure appeared before their eyes. He was wearing a fitted suit paired with dress pants. With one handtucked inside a pocket, he approached them with graceful steps like that of a model floating down a runway.

Sylvia waved at him.

Thomas noticed her and walked straight toward her.

The seat next to Sylvia happened to be vacant, so he proceeded to sit down beside her.All of the female teachers continued keeping an eye on Thomas.

Christopher swept a glance around the hall, then he grabbed the microphone and announced,” Everyone is here. Now let's jumpstraight to the topic.”

Finally, the venue descended into silence.

After that, the teachers in charge of hosting the seminar took the microphone and gave everyone a brief rundown of the day’sitinerary

The seminar, as its name suggested, was to encourage the participating teachers to exchange their experiences and serve as aplatform for academic discussions. The structure of the seminar was rather casual, and participants were encouraged to speaktheir minds. To be precise, it was more apt to call it a social gathering than a seminar.
