A familiar face

Such words made many who heard them choke on whatever they had in their mouths; several coughing sounds were heard after this.

'Sophia Murphy invited him to the Graduation Ceremony! This guy has a really good status; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to befriend such a big woman!' Everyone was in shock, but among those, one of the registrars frowned and suddenly stood up.

"Ohh, so you're Mr. Matthew! Miss Sophia thinks very highly of you; she had even asked me for information before!" He spoke. He was a normal-looking man who appeared to be in his late 60's; he looked somewhat kind.

His husky voice made many turn around, including Matt and Isla.

"Old Rox?" Isla asked suddenly, recognizing him.

He looked at Isla for a moment, and his eyes sparkled. "I see! That's why I thought the name was familiar to me, Miss Isla. You seem to be doing well," he said, approaching them both.

"You are?" Matt asked.
