While Sasha felt awkward to see him, she was not unhappy. In fact, she felt relieved.
Empire Elementary?
Solomon studied the gift basket for a moment before saying, “Are you planning to send them there? If you’re going to, there’s no need for you to send them this. I’ll just inform them about you.”
“No, no. That’s not what I mean,” Sasha hurriedly explained. “I know it’s easy to enroll in that school, but I’d like to extend my gratitude to the teachers. Don’t you know that some of the teachers have it tough nowadays?”
At that, she furrowed her brows.
Solomon fell silent as he turned to study the woman’s pretty side profile. All of a sudden, something emerged in his mind, and a myriad of emotions danced across his eyes behind the glasses.
“In that case, I’d suggest for the children to study in a public school.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Have you forgotten about how we used to be in public schools? Although public schools might not have facilities as good as private schools, the teachers are fair to all students. As long as the kid’s grades are good, they won’t be neglected. On the other hand, the environment at the private schools is a competitive one,” Solomon pointed out.
The moment his words traveled into her ears, Sasha gasped.
He’s right! Why didn’t I think about this?
After making up her mind, Sasha decided to forgo purchasing the gift basket.
Noticing that her problem had been solved, Solomon pointed to a cafe in the mall and suggested, “Why don’t we sit over there? It’s been a long time since we’ve had a chat.”
It would seem rude for her to reject his suggestion right after he had helped her out, so Sasha went to the cafe with him.
Once they found a place to sit in the cafe, Sasha began explaining the reason for her not to have contacted him after their return.
After a moment of silent contemplation, she muttered out, “I’m sorry, Solomon. I didn’t visit you after coming back. We’ve been busy as we’ve had tons of guests over our place every day. I did think of calling you once I’m free, however.”
Nevertheless, Solomon did not mind.
“It’s fine. By the way, what plans do you have?”
“Plans?” Sasha wondered out loud as she stirred her coffee. Then, she shook her head.
“Nothing for now. I’m only thinking of making arrangements for the children’s enrolment. My father is in poor health, so I’m thinking of spending some time to help him recover as well.”
“I see. What about him?” Solomon suddenly asked.
Sasha froze.
He’s asking about Sebastian?
