Chapter 54
After her class ended, Stella’s body was covered in sweat. Having just changed into a fresh set of clothes, she exited the changing room when she saw some parents gathering outside, talking about something.
Stella did not have the habit of poking her nose into other people’s business. She walked alone to the other side to fill up her thermal flask.
She walked out along the corridor while sipping on her water and saw the group of parents dispersing slightly. She stopped in her tracks upon recognizing someone familiar.
Guinevere?
What was she doing here?
Guinevere spotted Stella almost immediately, despite being separated by the crowd of parents. Her smile slowly faded, but she remained calm and composed as she looked at Stella and gave her a slight nod.
“Ella,” She called out to her, stood up, and walked over.
Those parents looked at Guinevere, then back at Stella before whispering in hushed tones, especially those teachers in the training center who were gawking at Stella with complicated looks on their faces. “She’s here to look for Ella!”
“That can’t be! You mean even a famous celebrity like Ms. Cohen heard about how well she teaches and comes especially for her?”
“Impossible! She must be here for something else! What’s more, Ms. Cohen doesn’t have any children for Ella to teach!”
“What if it’s the kids of her relatives?”
Everyone took turns to throw out their guesses, all of which Guinevere overheard but completely ignored.
She walked toward Stella, asking, “Do you have time? Shall we chat over some coffee?”
Stella shook her head. “I’m sorry. I still have work to do.”
