"Instructor, Sir! We're sorry, we were wrong!" Without bothering about the details, Jane Sampson hastened to apologize first, knowing it was the right thing to do.
Mair Williams glanced at Jane Sampson and followed her lead, "Instructor, Sir, we're sorry, we were wrong! It won't happen again!"
"I'm asking you, what were you just talking about? If you answer irrelevantly again, go run ten laps!" the instructor said mercilessly.
Meanwhile, James Black, upon hearing his subordinate mention Jane Sampson's name, immediately paid attention. Peter Gingery, standing behind James Black, looked at Jane Sampson and the other female artist who had been singled out. Seeing who was responsible for the training today, he also felt nervous on behalf of Jane.
It was okay to slack off under anyone's supervision, but to do so in front of the 'black-face king' was bad news. Even he, Peter Gingery, had to stay utterly tense in his presence.
