Anything strange? The teacher was stunned by her questions, and did not understand what she meant.
“What is strange?”
“Anything strange about his behavior?” Alice added after a moment of thinking, “How does he get along with other kids?”
Hearting that, the teacher was enlightened, “So that is you want to know, I get you. Don’t worry, Miss Nelson, Jack gets along well with other kids. He is cute and good looking, the kids like to play with him. A girl said she wants to marry Jack when she grows up.”
Alice, “…”
She was surprised about the answer.
Since Jack got along well with other kids, why he suddenly asked for a father?
Alice was actually worried that others said he was a child without a father. It happened when they were abroad, but it was her neighbor said that to him.
Back them Jack was silent and did not tell her. It was her found it out and knew that Jack was stubborn.
So she felt distressed for him.
“Well, since he gets along well with others, I am relieved.”
The teacher nodded, “Don’t worry, Miss Nelson, he is good in our school and we will take good care of every kid.”
“Thank you.” Alice thanked the teacher with a smile and then left.
Because she talked with the teacher, it took her some time and she was a few minutes late for work.
“Well, call Lexi today and ask her when she is available.”
Yanis agreed. In face of Alice, she was till flushed, because Alice was Zain’s sister, so when she saw Alice, she felt guilty.
“We’d better wait Lexi’s agent to contact us. Her agent keeps an eye on it and she will call me and come when she is available.
“Ok,” Alice nodded, “Since she has not come yet, arrange our design and keep it clean.”
“Ok,” Yanis nodded.
Then they got to work. As they were to walk into the elevator, Alice saw Winnie walking to her with a pale face.
“Alice, you are finally here.”
“Winnie,” Yanis looked at her in surprise, “What is wrong with you, your face is pale as ghost’s. what is going on?”
Winnie came to Alice. Her face was pale and her lips was bloodless. With her lips moved, she wanted to say something to Alice looking at her, but before she said anything, she cried out.
The burst of cry stunned Alice and Yanis.
“Damn, you scare me.” covering her chest, Yanis took two steps back and then said panting, “What is wrong, say it, why are you crying?”
Winnie wanted to speak, but she sobbed and could not say a word.
Alice stared at her for a while and then said, “You don’t need to say anything, take us there.”
Winnie nodded and then turned to the elevator.
After the door of the elevator was closed, only Winnie’s cry could be heard in the closed space. Yanis took a look at Alice who was expressionless and then at Winnie who was crying. She whispered, “Do you know what happened?”
