Linda couldn't help gaping at Charles in disbelief.
"Oh my god! How could you say that?" Linda couldn't believe Charles just threatened to close down a school for her.
Charles arched his eyebrow as he looked at Linda, "It's fine. Trust me, I'll take care of it."
Charles drove Linda to the school for the interview. Linda was surprised to see a lot of people gathering at the school gate. "Why are there so many people? What happened?" She asked.
Charles shrugged. "I don't know."
"Pull the car over. I'll walk from here. Your car is too eye-catching." Linda said.
The car Charles drove that day was a limited-edition blue Lamborghini. It was so luxurious that practically every passerby couldn't help staring at it. Linda didn't want to attract troublesome gossip.
"No. I'll teach them to respect you."
Charles insisted on driving Linda to the school gate despite Linda's protests. Seeing Charles' car, a middle-aged man in a black suit rushed to them. Charles rolled down the window.
"Young Master Mu. I apologize for Director Li's ill-advised recklessness. Please..."
"Open the gate." Charles interrupted abruptly.
The principal stared blankly back. "Open the gate." Charles repeated coolly, completely ignoring the middle-aged principal of the school. "What?" The principal was confused.
"I'm not going to repeat myself."
Charles replied, rolling the car window up. With dawning realization, the principal scrambled to instruct the gatekeeper to let them in.
Charles started his Lamborghini and the car's engine revved noisily as he drove into the parking lot of the school.
At the school gate, the principal was scolding Director Li, who was in charge of recruitment.
"Do you know what you've done? You put our school in big trouble! Don't you know that the Mu Clan finances our school with funding and scholarships every year?
Faced with an angry principal, Lilian Li didn't dare to say anything and kept her head down. She hadn't even met Linda yet, but her distaste of her doubled.
Charles stopped at the parking lot, which was near the school gate. He got out of the car, and walked to the passenger side to open the car door for Linda. "Watch your head, Linda."
Linda nodded with a faint smile. She knew Charles did that to show to everyone that she was valued and doted on by the Young Master of the Mu Clan, as a warning to respect her.
