Halfway through the meal, Madelyn pretended to go to the restroom and left the private room. As a result, the people who wanted to inquire about some gossip from her had no chance to do so.

After a while, someone sat opposite her and asked, "When are you planning to return to school? Your number two position in the whole grade is at risk." Other than discussing questions on school subjects, Kennedy rarely spoke this much.
Madelyn did not respond to his question. Instead, she asked, "Are the Math Olympiad results out yet? How did you do?" Kennedy responded, "First place. Most people got scholarships. Jadie got it too." Madelyn nodded, "As expected.” She thought, "Why did he specifically mention Jadie?" Kennedy continued, "Even so, | won't give up the first-place position to you." Madelyn rarely appeared relaxed in front of him. She replied, "I don't need you to give it to me. I'll get first place. It'll be good for you to experience what it's like to be second.” Kennedy smirked, "If you surpass me, you'll be the top scorer for the college entrance exam in the whole nation. But... you deserve this honor." He had guessed long ago that she would return to school someday because she was different from other people.
The evening breeze tousled Madelyn's hair. She looked at the distant bright city lights and said, "Of course. By the way, why are you here?" Kennedy said in earnest, "I'm the founder of SkyTech!" Madelyn gave him a confused look.
Kennedy had attractive single eyelids. When he lowered them, he appeared as if he was dissatisfied with the world. He continued, "Very few people know about that. | don't usually have time to run the company. So, | have my friends to help me manage it." Madelyn was impressed, "You're as outstanding as ever." Kennedy smiled, "Welcome to SkyTech!" Madelyn laughed, "I'll consider it!" Kennedy chuckled, "Sure. Take your time to think about it. You can offer me the salary you desire." After he said that, he left with his hands in his pockets.

When she went back to the private room, she ran into Ethan and Donna, who were coming out of their room. They made eye contact with Madelyn.
Madelyn was wearing her black hooded coat. She looked at Ethan indifferently before glancing at Leyton, who trailed behind him. She quietly stepped aside to make way for them.
Everyone was leaving at the same time. Kennedy helped Madelyn carry her bag. They finished the meal in less than two hours.
Kennedy said, "Shall | give you a ride? It's not easy to get a taxi now." Madelyn frowned, "Thank you." Kennedy replied, "You're welcome." A group of people entered the elevator. When Kennedy and Madelyn saw that the elevator was crowded, they did not try to squeeze in.
However, Ethan stopped the elevator door with his hand and made space, "Do you want to come in?" People around him started to squeeze inside to make space too.
