A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 169

Linda was almost sure that there was something fishy going on. She turned to look at Bun, "Please find out how many staff there are in the school, and which accountant handles the payment of salaries."

Bun looked at her quizzically. "My Lady, there isn't a specific person who handles the payment of our salaries. The finance office is responsible for the statistics and the HR office handles the payment."

"Okay, then could you find out the number of staff? "

"No problem, I'll check it for you." Bun responded and stood up. She headed to the administration desk to get the information.

After a few minutes, Bun returned. "My Lady. There are a total of 43 teachers in the school. Plus the logistics staff, so the total staff adds up to 80."

"Eighty?"

"Right."

Confused about what Linda was doing, Bun asked, "My Lady, what's the matter? Why do we have to check the number of staff in the school? Is there something wrong?"

Linda nodded and replied, "Well, yes. I have found a discrepancy. Look at our payrolls. Our salaries don't add up correctly."

Bun took the calculator and added up the numbers on her payroll. She found that there was indeed an issue; one Yuan was missing.

Bun glanced at Linda and said admiringly, "My Lady, you're very smart. How did you figure it out?"

"I've always been good with numbers. But this is weird. Even if someone in the finance office steals one Yuan from everyone's salary, it would be only 80 Yuan in total. It's just worthless and too risky.

I don't think anyone would risk getting fired and going to jail for criminal liability for only 80 Yuan. It doesn't make any sense." Linda sat down on a chair, racking her brain for a logical reason.

"I agree it's very suspicious and doesn't make sense. But to be on the safe side, I'll ask around and investigate, find out who might be profiting from our salaries. We don't know anything thing else yet." Bun said, already forming a plan of action in her head.

Linda nodded and said, "Okay Bun. Thank you." She knew she could always rely on Bun for support.

The day passed peacefully. As it was Friday, Linda was not very busy. Classes were over at half past two every Friday afternoon. At 3 p.m., Charles came to pick Linda.

They had plans to stay over at the house of Mu clan over the weekend.

At the school gate, Linda saw Charles and trotted over. Seeing Linda, Charles got out of the car and opened the door for her.

"Where's Paul? Is he not coming with us?"

Linda glanced around, searching for Paul.

"Paul has some affairs to attend to. He won't come with us, but he'll be back next week."

Linda nodded and got into the car with Bun.

Linda guessed that Paul had made an excuse to avoid Bun because he didn't know how to face her. It would be awkward if they met. Their relationship was over before it began. Bun had made her choice, and chose Brian. Linda could see why, Brian made her happy and the chemistry between them was real.

After his display of affection a few days earlier, and Bun rejecting him, Paul might feel ashamed to stand beside Bun.

Linda knew Paul well. He would rather occupy himself with his work than get embarrassed.

As Paul was not there, Charles drove the car and Linda sat in the passenger seat.

Sitting in the back seat, Bun kept silent, as if she was invisible, and revealed no emotion.
