This was a genuine surprise, as I didn't expect the government would make a move to invite a student into their fold—especially since I had yet to reach the contribution points necessary for graduation.
Rooted to the spot, I kept glaring at the file in their hands while blinking repeatedly.
Ding!
The door slid open with the sound of a bell, and loud cheers erupted from behind.
"Let's find somewhere quiet and talk about this," I said with narrowed eyes before looking over my shoulder—only to see a massive crowd held back by guards dressed in black, just like the agents.
Without saying a word, I turned around to face the crowd. There was a media team up front from different news agencies, recording with cameras that were much better than the ones obsessed with taking pictures upstairs.
They screamed their questions, but their words drowned beneath the frantic cheers of the crowd behind them.
This was what truly shook me.
