It might be my brother’s fault.
He was too impulsive that he drove the parents mad…” Flossie had learned about how outrageous Quinton was after listening to the parents’ complaints.
He had added fuel to the fire, and burdened Joanne and Halston.
Consequently, Flossie’s guilt grew.
“So, I came to resolve this and try my best to minimize the impact of the ssue as much as possible,” Flossie explained the intention of her visit. I
“What do you propose to resolve this?” Dale looked at Flossie curiously.
“People said it was Halston who had bribed you, so you allowed Joanne to work here.
I would like to see…if you could work with me and clarify to the public.
You can tell them it was me who did that.
Then, I’ll explain to the media that I threaten used tricks to threaten you and you were forded to accept Joanne. I
Then, everyone will target me instead.
The impact you guys receive will lessen,” Flossie said telling dale m honestly about her resolution
That was the best way to resolve the issue that she could think of.
“T see…” Dale smiled, and hit the nail on the head.
“So, you’re trying to share the responsibility of this issue for your ex-husband?”
“No, you got me wrong!” Flossie immediately denied it.
She looked awkward, as if she had been seen through.
“I just want to minimize the negative impact.
I’ll still do this even if this issue has nothing to do with Halston.” “Fine.” Dale nodded without getting to the bottom of it.
“I wanted to take full responsibility for this.
After all, I’m going to retire.
But since you’re willing to step forward, I won’t reject your offer.
My pension is very important, too.
If this issue gets bigger, my family will be humiliated.
Plus, I might not retire peacefully.
It’s horrible just thinking of it.” “I’m sorry, Mr. Porter.
In short, I should be held responsible for this.
Thank you for giving Joanne this working opportunity too.
She cherished this very much, and kept saying that being a teacher was like a second chance in life,” Flossie apologized to Dale sincerely, and thanked him. She knew the issue wouldn’t be that serious if not for Quinton’s craziness.
Hence, she felt that she should step forward to bear the responsibility for it reasonably.
“Well, you don’t have to thank me.
I just did Mr. Guajardo a favor.
You should thank him instead.” Dale checked his watch, and suddenly stood up.
He smoothed his clothes nervously.
“Look. I happened to have an appointment with Mr. Guajardo today.
He’ll soon get here.” “What? Is…he coming too?” Flossie soon panicked, as if she was guilty of being caught red-handed.
She hurriedly told Dale, “Well, it’s decided.
I’ll go now.
When you need me to step forward, just call me.” “Are you leaving?” Dale tried to make her stay.
“Mr. Guajardo will soon be here.
Isn’t it better for you to discuss the solutions together? I happened to book a private room in The Crane.
Let’s talk while we’re eating.” “No, I’ve got something at home.
I’ll take a rain check,” Flossie said politely, and retreated to the door of the office.
While stepping forward, she bumped into somebody.
1 She knew instantly who that was.
Subconsciously, she frowned and wanted the ground to swallow her up.
She cursed inwardly for such bad luck.
She had tried her best to avoid having contact with Halston.
She even chose the afternoon of a working day to meet the principal.
She wondered why she would bump into Halston, and if he didn’t have to get to work.
“Haha! Mr. Guajardo, speaking of the devil.
Ms. Ellsworth and I were talking about you!” Dale enthusiastically welcomed Halston.
Halston stood tall, and was as handsome and noble as usual.
He glanced at Flossie, and said indifferently, “Is that so? What was it about?” “Nothing.” Flossie beat Dale to it and cut the topic short. Then, she smiled at Halston politely.
“Mr.
Porter, Mr.
Guajardo, I’ve got something at home.
I’ll go now and leave you to your chat.” For an unknown reason Flossie didn’t want to spend much time with
