A Contract Marriage With My Boss novel Chapter 97

“Which movie makes you so excited?” Charles doubted.

“I don’t remember the name. It was a documentary. I had a ticket, so I went to watch for a while, but I just came out.”

“Oh, where are you now? I'm coming to pick you up.” Charles resumed, “I’m sorry to keep you waiting for so long that you even had enough time to watch a movie without me.”

Sarah peered at her watch. It was at seven o’clock. She thought it wasn't that late since she usually had worked later and replied. “It’s okay—no need to worry about me. I can fend for myself if needed. I'm on a pedestrian street near your company, come around, and I will wait for you at the nearest crossing.”

“Okay. I will be there right away. Don’t go anywhere!”

“I know. I am not a child!” Sarah smiled as she ended the call.

She pulled her face, trying to throw all her sad emotions away. She tried her best to be happier before she walked to the nearest crossing to wait for Charles.

Charles drove around the corner and saw Sarah waiting for him. They smiled at each other, and Charles said. “Come on, it's getting late. We need to hurry up to get over there quickly!”

Sarah stepped into the car and belted up. “Where are we going? Is it still convenient to get there at this time?” She asked curiously.

“It's okay!” Charles looked at her carefully. He wasn’t at ease until he ensured himself that nothing had happened to her. Based on her voice on the phone, he had thought that something happened to her. This woman always kept him worried.

“Perhaps it is a bit late, but we must go.” He turned on the car and drove away.

Charles turned on some music while driving, which made them feel more relaxed. They briefly talked about the conference meeting. Ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

Sarah was surprised to see a kindergarten-like school near the university town. She looked at the colorful wall with various animal paintings and asked, “Where is this, a kindergarten? Why are we here?”

Charles laughed confidently and said. “No. Just come in, and you will see for yourself. I want to introduce you to someone.”

“Who?”

The school was different from most other nurseries. It was called the New Element Nursery, following a child lead teaching method where the children were guided to stimulate their natural talents and interests and thereby to help every child to find their real sense of future direction.

What was most surprising to Sarah was that although the building looked ropey from the outside, from the inside, it was very luxurious with high-end equipment. They had only highly skilled teachers, as aunty described: “We choose teachers here based on their caring, kind, and honest nature. Their educational background and teaching experience are not as important, but they must be able to guide the children in the right direction, explore their good virtues and help them to grow into a child with a combination of strong skills and good morals.”

“Is it difficult to find teachers who meet those strict requirements?” Sarah asked.

“Yes. It is hard to find them. I often must travel to recruit the best teachers. But since we are able to offer a high salary, it gives us good merits to persuade the best to come here!” Aunt laughed out happily.

Charles put one hand on his aunt’s shoulder and said. “Anyway, given that you are rich and well known, you can invite anyone, yeah?” He was talking to her like she was his birth mother.

Aunty patted his hand and said, “Hey, am I rich? Aren't you, my biggest sponsor?” She questioned him.

Charles laughed, so did Sarah. It seemed that Charles was very nice to his aunt. He respected his aunt more than his parents. Mr. Thomas was often miserable because even though he treated Charles very well, Charles was still unwilling to be close to him. Sarah sighed.
