“Beatrice told me that you said you will take our school exam? Isn't that's why you're here?” Headmistress Moore quickly composed herself and got back to business.
“Yes. I would like to start the exam now if you don't mind.” Rose said as she looked at the Headmistress.
“Ah, yes. I will have them prepare the papers now. Please take a seat and wait." Headmistress Moore gestured to the couch in her office while she called her assistant desk number and gave a few instructions to her before hanging up.
"Mr. Anderson, do you have some other business here in my office?” Headmistress Moore asked, turning her attention to the boy who had accompanied Rose.
“No.” He curtly replied, still sitting down on the couch.
Headmistress Moore eyed him. “You can go back to your class Mr. Anderson. Thank you for bringing Miss Rose here." She finally said, making sure she sounded as respectful as she could. Even if she was the headmistress of this academy, there are certain students she can't afford to offend because of their family background and Mr. Anderson is one of those people.
“I have no class. And I want to stay unless my presence is disturbing you. Besides, I brought her here, so I will leave if she is done here because she can get lost on her way out.” He calmly told her pointing a finger at Rose who had already taken her seat.
Headmistress Moore said nothing else and just nodded her head at him, leaving him to do whatever he wanted.
Rose frowned upon hearing the conversation between the two people in the office apart from her. ‘Smart kid. You think I don't know what you're doing? But it's okay, this big sister will let you use her as an excuse to skip class for today just because you were helpful today.’ She thought, knowing what he was trying to do. However, she didn't know that he had stayed behind out of curiosity.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door and the headmistress gave her permission before the door opened and a middle aged man walked.
“Headmistress Moore, I was told that you called for me?" He said as he closed the door behind him.
