After half an hour, the dismissal bell rang.
Hearing the bell, Connor’s mood started to become somewhat uneasy.
Because he knew that he had offended Rachel, this woman, and there would definitely be consequences.
Sure enough, not long after, she walked elegantly in high heels and approached him.
She glanced at Connor, then expressionless, said, “Connor, come with me…”
“Okay…”
He reluctantly agreed and followed her as they walked away.
Along the way, his eyes were fixed on her slender and fair legs.
There was no way around it. Rachel’s legs were simply too tempting!
A few minutes later, they arrived at the office.
Once inside the office, Rachel sat directly on the chair, crossing her long and fair legs, and asked Connor with a straight face, “Connor, if I’m not mistaken, I only gave you one day off. Why did you come back today?”
“Um…”
He scratched his head awkwardly and looked at her, saying, “Miss Rachel, I suddenly had an urgent matter this morning, so it took me some time…” “What urgent matter? Are you trying to deceive me?” she asked straightforwardly.
Upon hearing her words, his expression became helpless.
He quickly explained, “Teacher, how could I dare to deceive you? I just went to attend a friend’s birthday banquet! That’s all.”
“Attending a friend’s birthday banquet took you that long? It seems like your relationship with this friend is quite extraordinary?”
Rachel said with a smile.
After hearing her words, he hesitated for a moment, then playfully replied, “Teacher, actually, my relationship with this friend is just ordinary, but it’s very different from my relationship with you…”
“Very different from my relationship?”
Rachel’s expression became puzzled upon hearing this, then she furrowed her brows and asked Connor, “Whose birthday banquet did you attend?”
“Madison’s birthday banquet…”
Connor hesitated for a moment, but he had to bring up Madison, otherwise, he couldn’t explain the situation.
“Madison?”
Rachel’s expression became even more puzzled, then she sternly asked, “Why did you attend Madison’s birthday banquet? And why did she invite you to her birthday banquet?”
He didn’t know how to explain this to Rachel.
So he could only come up with an excuse and said, “I don’t know why Madison invited me to her birthday banquet. Anyway, she used this matter to threaten me. She said if 1 didn’t attend her birthday banquet, she would come to the school to harass you. And she didn’t want me to tell you about this. 1 had no choice but to ask for leave and attend her birthday banquet…”
Rachel glanced at him, seemingly not fully believing what he said, and asked softly, “Did Madison do anything to you?”
“Madison threatened me to keep my distance from you. I agreed, and then she let me go…” he answered directly.
She thought that his excuse was reasonable. She believed that Madison might have deceived him into attending her birthday banquet to threaten him.
So she nodded and continued to look at Connor, asking, “Did anything happen at the birthday banquet yesterday?”
“Nothing happened. Madison just threatened me to keep my distance from you. I was worried that her bodyguards would take action against me, so I agreed…”
Connor explained.
Rachel looked at Connor hesitantly for two seconds and asked softly, “Connor, are these words you said true?”
“Teacher, how could I dare to deceive you? If you don’t believe me, you can call Madison now and ask her if I attended her birthday party yesterday…”
Connor quickly replied.
Upon hearing this, Rachel picked up her phone.
However, after thinking for a while, she put the phone back down.
She felt that Connor wouldn’t lie to her at this moment and said softly to Connor, “Since that’s the case, you’ve helped me in a way. I won’t hold your absence against you today. You can do whatever you need to do…”
“Thank you, teacher, thank you, teacher…”
After Rachel let him go, Connor hurriedly smiled and thanked her before turning around to leave Rachel’s office.
But at that moment, Connor suddenly remembered that Rachel hadn’t answered his previous question.
So he turned back to Rachel and asked, “Teacher, do you actually know Joey Shaw or not?”
Connor had been puzzled by this question all along. He couldn’t understand why Joey had come to help him in the first place.
Connor thought about everyone around him but couldn’t find a suitable candidate.
Except for Rachel, whose background was somewhat mysterious, none of the others seemed to have this possibility.
After hearing Connor’s question, she couldn’t help but pause for a moment. She then said expressionlessly, “Does it matter to you whether I know Joey or not?”
Upon hearing her response, his expression became helpless.
He clearly understood that she was deliberately deceiving him, but she was his teacher, and he didn’t dare to do anything to her.
So he sighed helplessly, turned around, and left her office.
Seeing Connor leave, Rachel also let out a sigh. There seemed to be a conflicted expression on her face, but it was unclear what she was conflicted about.
After leaving her office, Connor kept pondering this question in his mind.
He couldn’t figure out who was the person that made Joey bring his troops to help him.
Without understanding this question, Connor couldn’t find peace of mind.
And the investigation by Thomas and Kyle didn’t yield any results.
“How can I make Rachel willingly admit her relationship with Joey?”
Connor couldn’t help but mutter to himself..
