Crystal agreed to Jeffrey's invitation and allowed him to lead the way, holding her food tray. Fortunately, it was still early, and few people were around.
Akira followed Jeffrey and Crystal while nibbling on her food. Strangely, she didn't feel any animosity towards Crystal or threatened, as if she could tell that her new acquaintance didn't have any interest in Jeffrey.
As a result, she happily sat next to Crystal when they reached their table, leaving Jeffrey to sit across from them.
Jeffrey hadn't grabbed his food yet, so he had to stand up and join the line. "I'll be back soon," he said with a warm smile, revealing two dimples on his handsome face.
Jeffrey stood in line at the cafeteria as if he had done it daily. As he waited to get his lunch, he noticed a familiar figure approaching.
