The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 66

Inside the head teacher's office of Class Eighteen.

The office was set up simply at Vivienne's request, with just a desk and a comfy sofa.

At the moment, Vivienne was busy at the desk, Percival was dealing with stuff in his wheelchair, and Thomas was sitting on the sofa. It was all quiet, nobody was speaking.

Mr. James's team had completed all subject tests for Class Eighteen's students and set up a study plan.

Once the study plan was confirmed, Vivienne started scheduling the classes.

The learning tasks for the first month were quite heavy. Vivienne even filled the self-study time at night with classes. However, she didn't arrange any PE classes within the first week.

Percival didn't object to this.

Class Eighteen's students had had enough fun; it was time to get serious about studying.

By the time she finished scheduling the classes and sorting out different things for the class, it was already half past twelve in the afternoon.

She looked up and was surprised to see Percival and Thomas still there, "Aren't you guys going to eat?"

"Waiting for you." Percival responded after sending out his last message and putting his phone back in his pocket. He was smiling faintly, his voice gentle.

"Waiting for me?"

She was going home for lunch today. She wasn't used to the school's canteen, so she had Cordelia prepare some when she left home in the morning.

She and Percival were not close. Why would he wait for her?

"Well, I called Cordelia this morning, saying that we're going to have lunch at your place." Percival wheeled over to Vivienne, and before she could say anything, he added, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not freeloading. I've paid the living expenses, and from now on, I'll eat at your place except for breakfast."

"What about your grandpa and Isolde?" Vivienne asked.

Percival looked up, a smile tugging at his lips, "I forgot to tell you that I paid for four people's meals, me, my grandpa, Isolde, and Thomas."

Vivienne straightened up her desk, and as she turned around, her gaze fell on the pendant on Percival's neck. It was identical to the one she had on her wrist, and it should have been with her mother. It was now sparkling brighter in the sunlight.

Without showing any emotion, Vivienne withdrew her gaze. She took a glance at Percival, and then walked out, "Let's go."

Just as they exited the office, they saw a figure standing at the door.

As soon as she saw Vivienne coming out, the figure immediately approached with a smile, "Ms. Vivienne, nice to meet you! I'm the head teacher of Class One, my name is…”

Ms. Olivia had arrived at half past eleven but saw Vivienne busy. She thus waited at the door.

Little did she know, she would end up waiting for an hour.

She didn't expect Ms. Vivienne to be so dedicated, still busy with student affairs way past lunchtime.

"Ms. Olivia." Vivienne greeted, "What can I do for you?"

"I have a favor to ask. I was wondering if I could sit in on Mr. James's lessons?" To prevent any misunderstanding, Ms. Olivia quickly explained, "I don't have any other intentions. It's just that all my students wish to be taught by Mr. James, but he only teaches Class Eighteen. I'd like to sit in and learn some new methods so I can teach my students better."

Vivienne looked at Ms. Olivia. Among all the teachers she met since she came to Cloudcrest High School, Ms. Olivia was the only one who put students' needs first.
