Finally the results were out and both Ezeriam and Beauty went to check and indeed they performed well. After checking the results Ezeriam went home in high spirit intending to share the news with her father. When she arrived,she saw an old man in his 80s sitting at the balcony with her father chatting happily. She went to greet them as a sign of respect and then excused herself elf. As she was going she felt a penetrating gaze behind me so she turned and saw the old man staring at her which made her feel uncomfortable.
