Linda came to realize that Greenwood had caught Amber cheating on him with the principal. She wondered if he had gotten the results of his daughter's paternity test.
He even went as far as to cook up a storm at the school. He must have been furious!
Linda and Anna went to the principal's office to see this dramatic fight.
The sonorous sound of Greenwood's abusive words wafted along the floor. They even heard it from outside the office.
Men tended to flare up when they found out that their female partners had cheated on them. That was the way it was. Linda didn't feel sorry for Greenwood, for he, too, was also cheating on his wife. He deserved no sympathy from others.
"Yes, you may be the principal of this school, but you have no right to fool around with my wife. How long have you two been together? Tell me the truth! Aren't you ashamed of yourself when you did it with a teacher of your school?"
"Silence won't clean up your sins. You have to tell me how you are going to deal with it!"
Curses after curses could be heard outside the principal's office, attracting many students to this uproar as it had happened during their noon break!
But the principal told these students with a solemn face, "What are you all looking at? Haven't you got any schoolwork to attend to? Go back to your classroom to study."
These students had no reason to contradict him, for he was the big boss of this school. They had to obey his words and go back to their classrooms. But some rebellious ones didn't follow his instruction. They hid themselves in the bathroom where they could eavesdrop on the fight. It was certainly big news which was too interesting to miss!
High school students more or less knew what love and sex were about, so they had an inkling that something was not right. Not to mention, this was such a juicy gossip!
Linda and Anna didn't go to the exact site of the quarrel; instead, they chose a spot upstairs on the corridor where they could clearly see the two people and hear their conversation, while those downstairs couldn't see them. It was such a good spot.
"What do you want? You can't behave like this in school. If you insist on doing this, I shall call the police, " the principal told Greenwood calmly.
"What do I want? You should know what I want! Go and call the police. I dare you." Greenwood was totally pissed at the principal who behaved like a just and decent man when he had slept with someone else's wife the whole time.
The principal was about to speak. But Amber came in a hurry and interrupted him. She was agitated upon hearing that Greenwood had gone to the principal's office. She had no idea how he found out about their affair. They were cautious with their meetings. They only saw each other in school. Private meetings were out of question.
So how did Greenwood find out about their relationship?
"Fetch me the security guards. Tell them to get this man out of here. He is just an asshole. Don't listen to his nonsense, " the principal gave his words immediately.
Greenwood exploded at hearing those words. He reached out his fist and prepared to give him a punch. Amber was frightened by his gesture, so she stopped him right away, "Don't do that. If you have something to say, just say it."
Greenwood got even more furious at seeing Amber. She didn't come home last night and told him that she was on duty. But now, it seemed that she had been with the stupid principal the whole night!
