"Richard! He actually did it." She whispered to herself.
'But how...?'
Ciara knew that his intervention had somehow prevented the exposure of her mishap yesterday, and the spread of the news. While she still wasn't aware of how he was able to achieve something like that, she realized how indebted she was to him.
"I have to speak to Richard. He should be in his office..." Ciara said to her friends, standing from her seat.
Serah held her friend as soon as she attempted leaving.
"Mr. Lawcroft didn't come today."
Ciara halted and turned to see Serah's serious expression. Normally, Serah would tease her about wanting to see their homeroom teacher, but this wasn't currently the case.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
Richard Lawcroft was their homeroom teacher, so it was only natural that he would be around. Yet, Serah said otherwise.
"Oh yeah. You came late today, so you don't know." Sam said, looking at Ciara.
