Linda insisted that she was perfectly capable of protecting herself. Only then did Charles agree with her suggestion to have only two bodyguards to escort her to school on the condition that they would maintain distance from her and pose no disturbance to her school life.
Linda was finally at ease when Charles accepted her proposition.
She was then able to sit back and relax, letting Charles handle her reappointment at the school.
After spending two more days at home, she was informed by Charles that the matter had been settled, and she could get ready to return.
Her job as school was more like a guidance counselor who helped the students deal with the troublesome matters they had encountered in their daily lives. She would also be helping them ease the tensions deep down their hearts. All of her duties would be devoted to the all-round development of students, which would in turn pose a positive effect on their schoolwork.
In this sense, being a guidance counselor played an important role in the healthy development of students, especially those in high school who shouldered intense pressure brought about by the college entrance examination. As such, if all schools were equipped with professional and adept counselors to guide them in times of emotional stress, many tragic incidents would have been prevented from happening.
Nowadays, several news articles had reported students committing suicide due to insurmountable pressure in their lives and school works.
Charles sent Linda to the school on her first day back to the school.
Upon reaching the school gate, from a distance, they saw the president, the coordinator of student affairs, and so on, standing by the gate as if to welcome Linda's arrival at the school.
Or maybe, they were here to receive Charles. Linda didn't take such ostentation for granted. These people merely wanted to kiss Charles's ass.
She glanced at the crowd standing by the gate and found no trace of Amber.
One of her main purposes of coming back was to take her revenge on Amber.
She always figured it quite strange that she had collapsed and lost her consciousness for no particular reason during that abduction.
She guessed that Amber must have had something to do with her misfortune, and the cup of water she had given her was quite fishy.
Back then, Linda didn't pay attention to the water in the cup. Now, she had no evidence to prove that Amber had done something with the water, so she just had to let it go at the moment.
However, Linda was certain that Amber was behind this scheme even without hard evidence. Also, it certainly involved someone else apart from her. But she was not sure who put Amber up to it and what that person offered her. However, she was going to find out one day. Time would reveal the whole truth. By then, Linda would have everyone who had dared hurt her pay their dues.
"Mrs. Mu, welcome back to the school. I haven't seen you in a long time. You have grown prettier than ever, " said the president who was beaming with pleasure.
Linda gave no response other than a nod.
She had been assigned to a private office. Back in her previous days at the school, she shared this very office with Bun.
Now, Bun was not by her side, yet the layout of the office was still the same. That nostalgic feeling made her miss Bun all of a sudden. But she couldn't bring Bun back because she needed company. Bun was married to Brian and merged into another family now. She and Brian would support each other for the rest of their lives. As such, there would be little time for Bun to spare for their reunion.
"Where is Ms. Tang?"
Linda asked Lilian when she stepped into the room.
If memory had served her right, Lilian was the best friend of Amber.
But that question just popped out of Linda's mouth. It could also help her find out if Lilian was also involved in that matter.
"Ms. Tang is probably having a class. What's the matter? Are you looking for her, My Lady?"
