"Go ahead! I'll just have dinner on my own," the girl said.
"Okay," Ivy said before hurrying out of the canteen.
"Who were you talking to, Ivy?" Robert overheard Ivy through the phone.
"A schoolmate. She's not from my class," she said. "Where are you right now, Robert?"
"I'm almost reaching," Robert said casually. "Have you gotten yourself a new friend?"
"No. It's quite a coincidence, actually. | asked my lecturer to referto a tutor, and he did. It turns out that my new tutor is that
