"Alan"
Mrs. Keith looked at me and said further, "I have no idea about the situation but Laurel- it is going to be difficult for her"
I stayed silent and wanted to hear more from her.
"Her divorce case got just cleared but she lost her daughter's custody to her ex-husband"
Mrs. Nico said,"poor Anabelle, the child was all bruised when she used to study here in this centre. I know that guy must have pulled some strings to keep the daughter to him"
"I don't know after losing her job what is she going to do".
The situation got intense and everybody was ordered to reach the meeting hall at 9pm. Mrs. Walter was in front and the other teachers were sitting beside her.
"Mrs Walter please stand up"
Alan Krowaski was present there too, the victim. He was given a special seat and was least bothered by anyone. And obviously he was a special status victim due to his father's connections.
Everyone started discussing about the situation and how everything was held. Various witnesses were called and then I heard my name, I was almost blank due to the tiredness.
"Ms.Yu"
I didn't replied
"Ms. Yu?", it was again a blank call,
"MS.YU, we require your assistance in this case", the officials said to me.
"Ah yeah", I woke up and answered suddenly.
"I think you agree with the decision of terminating Mrs. Walter?", he asked me without hesitation.
"ah- no" That came out instantly from my mouth.
They all have me a strange look even Mrs. Walter was confused.
"Can I call Vivienne Tam here?", I looked at everyone in face.
Without waiting for the reply i just went to the classroom and brought her to the meeting hall. She literally explained her experience with Mrs. Walter and since Vivienne was the topper of her previous class due to her influence the committee had change their decision.
The situation was clean now, everyone was appreciating Mrs. Walter and she was thanking me for her saving her. It was good to help her .
As a present by the institute Mrs. Walter was given the apology note from the staff and I was given the termination letter.
The institute could only afford only a teacher at a moment
"Basically, I kicked my own stomach", she said and went outside with her paycheck.
As she went towards the door she saw it was pouring outside. A sudden laugh came out of her mouth," Hah, what can be worse than this?"
A familiar figure stood beside her, it was the child the institute suspended 'Alan krowaski'.He wasn't bothered by her presence and all of a sudden a black car stopped in front of the exit.
A man in black suit came out with an umbrella and fetched Alan.
They didn't even notice me like I was invisible and afterall I'm a loser, I lost my husband, my family and my job too.
Without thinking I just stepped outside and walked out in the rain. It was pouring but looks like my heart was more heavy.
"I guess even clouds aren't able to hold back their tears"
On my way the same Black car stopped in front of me. I was bewildered and tried to step aside.
"Excuse me"
An umbrella came upon me, i lifted my head up to look, a tall figure was foreshadowing me.
"Prof. Artron!"
I was amazed to see him in this heavy rain and the fact that he was holding the umbrella for me.
"Is there something I can help you with?", I asked and I was worried it might be about the morning.
"I-im sorry for dis-turbing your class in the morning" I apologized immediately it seems like he didn't heard it because of his airpods.
"Well I apologise for stopping you in the midway but I'd like to have a word with you" he said in a concerning tone.
Probably be doesn't remember the morning incident but why does he look so concerned.
We went to a nearby cafe and I ordered nothing as always. Caffeine was never my choice, I already am struggling with other things and can't really risk my health. I don't even have a health insurance.
"Ahem, Miss you teach Alan Krowaski mathematics right?", he was straightforward with the conversation.
"Yes and i don't think so he's struggling with my subject, is he?", I replied confidently because I already know that Alan is progressing well in his subjects.
"I saw his grades-"
I cut him,"Are you his gaurdian?"
"Yes, I'm his gaurdian and his progress towards maths is amazing in the past few months", He went forward with his words.
"I keep an eye on his studies and other activities, if their is any problem you can contact me directly at my number. Here's my card", he forwarded his card and I hesitated.
"I'm sorry sir but I've been dismissed from my job and I can't help you further",As I said those words I stood up and left from there.
He was sitting there only and a few seconds later he called out for me again.
"I'd like to offer you a job for tutoring Alan privately and the salary will be three times the salary you were offered in the institute".
