Gorman frowned to see Wendy hurrying into the office with her bag still across her breast. So he shouted Wendy stop. “Stop there.”
Wendy sighed in her heart and stopped her steps. When you were doomed to get bad luck, any small thing would cause big trouble to you.
Wendy stood still to look at Gorman, "Mr. Taylor, what's wrong?"
"Miss Evans, do you remember the rule that when you are late for work, you will be deducted one point in the evaluation system."
Wendy click her phone to turn it on. It was still a minute to eight.
So she showed him the time on her phone and said, "There's still one minute left, so I'm not late."
Gorman clenched his teeth to take a step to her.
But Wendy took a step back to keep the distance.
Gorman's voice was intimidating, "What? After being his girlfriend, you don't even want to go to work on time? Or you want to say that you have been addictive to him and his bed?"
Da*n Gorman. Why could not he just let her go?
Fine, then, she could also play with him.
Wendy smiled to Gorman. "Yes, I suddenly feel every second becomes so precious with him. I really hope I can stay with him all the time. But Mr. Taylor, you're wrong about one thing. I'm not late."
Wendy then pushed the door open to walk into the office. Then she slammed the door behind her.
Gorman was angry but he could only gnash his teeth and storm out of the building.
Three gazes landed on her immediately when she went into the office.
Wendy smiled awkwardly. "Good morning."
Carmen smiled to make fun of her, "My darling. You were almost late."
"I am too tired these days. It's so hard to get up early in the morning."
"You will finally get used to it." said Linda with a smile.
"Yes, she is right. At the first year here, I thought I could have enough spare time to make preparations for my postgraduate exam while being a good assistant teacher too. But it turned that I was so young and naive. But after a year's hard work, I finally found a good balance between my work and study at the second year."
Wendy just smiled and sat down. Cael added, "We all had a tough time in this job. Just like now, I still have to go to the student union.
I would always think that I am more a babysitter than a teacher. Bye now."
Cael's joke amused them all.
In the whole morning, Wendy had been tidying up the information of all the students.
Soon it's the lunch time. "Miss Evans, how about eating together?" asked Linda.
"Fine."
"Then we can go to the cafeteria." She said as she waved the food card in her hand.
"Alright, let's go." Wendy nodded.
After getting her bag, she followed Linda downstairs.
But when they just walked out of the office building, a woman stepped out of a car and walked to them.
She bowed to Wendy with two lunch boxes in her hand. "Miss Evans."
She was surprised to see Deena here.
"Hi, Deena. why are you here?"
"Mr. Charles ask me to take the lunch for you."
Deena then handed over the lunchboxes to Wendy.
Wendy took the lunchboxes but she was still in a shock.
Why would Henson ask Deena to bring her food?
