At first, Mark didn't get it. But when Shirley made it clear, he nodded fiercely, his eyes lit up.
'The boy is worth teaching and is very promising. He has indeed inherited the excellent genes of the Long Family, ' Shirley thought to herself and smiled.
She watched happily as Mark's little figure trotted into the classroom.
"Shirley, the principal wants to see you in his office,"
the Chinese teacher said. Shirley quickly headed to see the principal.
When Shirley arrived at his office, the Principal briefed about some work to his aide, then asked him to leave and shut the door behind him. As soon as the door was closed, the principal was all smiles right away. He hurriedly stood up and showered her with flattery, "It's such an honor to have you work here."
"It's my honor," Shirley replied. But she was no longer a regular teacher, but a noble, upper-class lady. "I'm just having fun working here. Hopefully I'm not causing any trouble."
"No way. Your presence flatters this school," the principal seemed a bit relieved, and then he asked carefully, "But why did you choose this school?"
Shirley sneered - she had already made it clear that it was just for fun, but it still scared the hell out of the principal. It was understandable, though. After all, every year the Dragon Empire Group funded a lot of researches and granted quite a few scholarships. It was no small number. And this time, Frank had personally called to tell the principal about her arrival. And of course, the principal served her as if she were a god.
"My friend's kid studies here, but I can't reveal my identity."
"Oh, I understand. And that kid is...?" the principal asked tentatively.
Shirley smiled and emphasized, "The identity of the kid is not your concern." She fixed her intimidating and dominant eyes on him.
The principal knew what Shirley had meant. He dared not ask her any more questions and ended their talks with more flattery.
Shirley smiled, then walked towards her office. Her classes were already over, but she didn't plan on leaving yet. She decided to audit the next class and see Mark's performance. She laughed happily even at the idea of watching him learn his lessons. 'Mark is way cuter than Brian. He is as cute as my Wing, ' Shirley thought cheerfully.
"Mr. Brian Long is so manly."
"Fine, okay. You're drooling. But think about Spark. That Brian stole Spark's lover and held a conference to advertise it. Poor Spark."
"I know, but he is still so manly and handsome. Gosh, if Brian loved me, I will die happily right away."
"You could try. See if Brian would even look at you if you were actually dying. "
A group of college girls laughed together after having that conversation. Their talks perplexed Shirley. She frowned, 'What has Brian done now?'
She quickly dialed Antonio's number, "Antonio, did anything happen with Brian today?"
After briefing her about the press conference, Antonio added, "Mrs. Long, now I feel that Mr. Brian Long is even bolder and more adventurous than the Young Master."
"Huh, he's just like his parents," Shirley laughed merrily, then added, "Just wait and see. What Brian has done will touch Molly deeply. And Molly will forgive and accept Brian, and they will live happily ever after. I can then meet and hug Mark without worrying about revealing my identity. The thought just makes me so happy. Ha, Brian is definitely manly."
But Antonio broke her sweet fantasy by saying, "Well, the greater the expectation, the bigger the frustration."
