Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife
Chapter 537

Chapter 537

After two days of staying at home, she went to the academy again on Thursday.

Just like Monday, she prepared for her lessons as soon as she got to the office. She focused on her work until her phone chimed.

It was a message from Thomas.

In the message, he asked, “Want to have lunch?” Sylvia checked the time. It was already noon, so she answered, “Sure.”

After putting on her coat, she walked out of the office and saw Thomas leaning against a wall, waiting for her.

He was wearing a long gray coat and tucked his hands in his pockets. His height combined with his refined looks drew the attention of several female teachers who passed and fawned over him Unfortunately for them, he did not seem to take interest in any of them at all. He hardly looked at them and wore the same blank look as he always did.

“Hey, Thomas,” Sylvia greeted him.

Thomas looked at her and walked toward her.

She asked, “What do you want for lunch?” He merely answered, “Anything works for me.” “Alright, then.”

As they walked outside, Sylvia went on her phone and searched if there was any good food nearby Meanwhile, several young teachers were spying on the duo from a safe distance.

"Who is that walking with Mr. Carter? Why haven't I ever seen her before?”

“I think she's the guest professor President Dendro invited. Her name is Sylvia Ross, 1 believe.”

"Oh, I know that name. Isnt she Ms. Sunflower? She was involved in a couple of our academy's activities in the past.” The other teachers seemed very surprised upon hearing this. There was growing envy among them as they gawked at Sylvia who got to spend time and have lunch with Thomas.

One of them noted, “But why does Mr. Carter only eat with her?”

“Who knows?"

Thry ate at the same restaurant they are at the last time, only this time it was Sylvia footing the buli Aller their ineal, they went back to the academy and binmediately relured to their respective offices. During another short break, Sylvia lay her head on the table and prepared to get some brief shuteye. That was when another female teacher suddenly knocked on the door and entered her office

"Hi, Ms. Sylvia. My name is Leah, and I teach the elective courses.”

Sylvia smiled back kindly. “Hi, Mrs. Leah.” Leah approached the table and said in a sincere voice, “I heard that you are Ms. Sunflower. Would you mind if I asked you for some pointers?” Sylvia answered cheerfully, “Of course.”

There were a couple of chairs in the office, so Leah grabbed one and sat next to Sylvia She then procured her drawing book and handed it to Sylvia.

Sylvia looked through her work, taking it very seriously. Leah did not major in art, and it was evident in her painting since she seemed to slightly lack the fundamentals. Therefore, Sylvia decided to help work on her basic skills first.

After giving an honest critique with a healthy supplement of advice, Sylvia added, “Overall, I like the art direction of your work I believe that you will improve after working on your fundamentals.” Leah smiled nervously. “Alright, I'll make sure to keep that in mind.”

Now that they were done, it seemed like she had no intention of leaving just yet.

Sylvia could sense that there was something more to this sudden visit and asked, “Is there anything else you'd like to ask?”

Leah tousled her hair with an air of embarrassment, and a strange look surfaced in her eyes.” Ms. Sylvia, what's your relationship with Thomas?” Sylvia immediately caught on. Chances were that the primary reason she came here was to enquire about this.

She answered honestly, “I've known him for many years, and he’s like a brother to me.”

Although Thomas was several months older than her, she had been his sister-in-law since the day she met him and had always thought of him as something like a little brother. Leah was visibly surprised by this, “Like a brother? You two look around the same age though, and you two don't share the same surname.”

"Our grandparents were friends,” Sylvia remarked.

She was not eager to discuss how she used to be his sister-in-law since it would only lead to more unnecessary gossip leading back to Odell. Besides, Tara had only done enough of rumor mongering, telling people that Sylvia had once dated Odell, and she did not need more such talk going around. She only came here to teach. These gossips were certainly neither helpful nor productive.
