Chapter 376
“This is between her and me,” said Catelyn indifferently. “I won’t blame you for that.”
“The director has to fire you now. Did you see Cedrick earlier? What did he say? Will he bail you out on this one? If that’s the case, you won’t have to be scared of the director!”
Catelyn felt rather…uncomfortable to hear this.
“This isn’t finished.”
With that, she dragged her suitcase and, along with her belongings, left the office.
Catelyn took a shower as soon as she got back home. She kept her mind blank, not wanting to think of anything as she did. She then took a long nap in her bed, and only got up when it was nearing the end of school for Miles. She tried to smile to herself in the mirror, only to find herself looking awkward. She patted her cheeks harshly until a bit of color returned to her face. With that, she went out to fetch Miles.
Miles was a sharp kid, and he could tell something was wrong when Catelyn came to pick him up. His chubby fingers grabbed onto Catelyn’s palm tightly, and they both went home together, feeling equally wary. “Big Kitty, Miss Jane praised me at school today,” Miles piped up, trying to initiate a conversation.
However, Catelyn was a little absent-minded at the moment. “Why?”
“Miss Jane said that I’m diligent and have shown improvement. She awarded me with two little flowers,” replied Miles as he took out a crayon painting from his bag. On the painting was a big scorching red sun, with green grass underneath it. On the field was a pair of mother and son, holding hands as they ran to the end of the field. The golden rays from the sun shone on the mother and son, and it made a lovely painting. Catelyn flipped the painting over and noticed that there were a few words on it, written by Miss Jane.
(Even better if you could paint your father in as well! It would be beautiful.]
