Chapter 504
Just like that, the meeting came to an end after a brief discussion.
Pippa stood at the classroom door and waved goodbye at the parents as they left.
Roxanne walked up to her with a concerned expression and asked, “Ms. Ward, are you sure you don’t want to change the plot for Sleeping Beauty? I don’t know if it’s appropriate for children to witness that final scene…”
Pippa flashed her a reassuring smile as she replied, “Don’t worry, Ms. Jarvis. The kids already know about this sort of thing. Besides, you’re not really going to kiss in front of them. You’ll be positioning yourselves to look like you’re kissing.”
Pippa then looked behind her and asked, “I’m sure you’ll offer your full cooperation, right, Mr. Farwell?”
Roxanne tensed up when she heard that.
“Of course,” Lucian replied, his voice sounding like he was whispering right next to her ear.
Roxanne lowered her gaze and stepped aside before turning around to look at him.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Jarvis. I’m not the kind of guy who would take advantage of others. Besides, you and I are both parents. There’s no way we’d be doing anything inappropriate,” Lucian said with a cold look on his face.
“Relax, Ms. Jarvis. It’ll just be a bunch of kids watching the play,” Pippa added.
Unsure of what to say, Roxanne nodded with a forced smile. “Thank you for what you did earlier.”
“No need to thank me. I was just doing my job!” Pippa replied casually with a chuckle.
Roxanne then had a brief chat with her before leaving.
She was about to open her car door when she heard Lucian’s voice coming from behind her again
“Since you’ve agreed to work with me, you’re not going to bring your personal emotions into the play, right, Ms. Jarvis?”
Roxanne turned around and nodded calmly. “You may rest assured that I’ll give the kindergarten my full cooperation, Mr. Farwell.”
She deliberately emphasized that she was only going along with the play as it was part of the kindergarten’s activities.
