The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 52

After Vivienne finished her instructions, she left the classroom.

When she got to Class Eighteen, she had the principal print out all subject test papers for her to pick up.

As soon as she walked out of the classroom, Charlotte chased after her, "Vivienne, wait up!"

Vivienne stopped in her tracks, turned to look at her, and said seriously, "You should call me Ms. Vivienne now."

Charlotte's mouth twitched, but she obediently said, "Ms. Vivienne."

Vivienne nodded, patting her on the head, "Good girl!"

Charlotte was taken aback.

Did Vivienne just pat her like she was petting a dog?

No way!

She's not a dog!

Charlotte followed her, excitedly asking, "Ms. Vivienne, how did you end up teaching at our school? You're only nineteen, barely went to school yourself, how did the principal hire you?"

Curiosity piqued, she continued, "Come on, tell me, what's the story? I'm totally gobsmacked, Ms. Vivienne, you're incredible. You might not know, but no one in the entire school dares to mess with the students of Class Eighteen, but you've got them eating out of your hand. I'm really impressed!"

Vivienne was momentarily at a loss for words.

How did she not notice Charlotte was such a chatterbox?

"If I told you that I got a doctorate in both Medicine and Biochemistry from Elite University when I was sixteen, would you believe me?" Vivienne asked.

"I believe you!" Charlotte answered very seriously.

Vivienne was taken aback, asking uncertainly, "You believe me?"

If she told the same thing to the Hawthorn family or Dorian, probably no one would believe her.

Even among the other teachers at this school, few would believe her.

But Charlotte didn't hesitate to believe her.

"Of course I believe you! For you to become a teacher at Cloudcrest High School, you either got in through backdoor connections or you're really talented. Considering how the Hawthorn family treats you, they likely didn't pull any strings for you. And the Hawthorn family doesn't have that kind of clout anyway." Charlotte was dead serious, "So that leaves us with talent, Ms. Vivienne."

Vivienne's mouth twitched, "I was joking with you, you don't have to keep calling me Ms. Vivienne, you can call me whatever you want."

"Got it!" Charlotte looped her arm through Vivienne's, grinning adoringly at her, "Vivienne, you're amazing, getting a double doctorate at sixteen, how did you do it?"

"I just...studied hard?" Vivienne said.

"It's all about talent!" Charlotte mused, "Not everyone can get a double doctorate. You got it at sixteen, you're a genius! What am I going to do, Vivienne, I'm starting to idolize you, you're my new role model!"

Vivienne had to admit, Charlotte had a knack for flattery!

She glanced at Charlotte, "Why are you still here?"

At twenty, shouldn't Charlotte be in college by now?

"Don't even get me started, I've been in senior year for three years now!" Charlotte said, seeming rather proud.
