Chapter 857: Chapter 831: Who in the End Chapter 857: Chapter 831: Who in the End Kiara spoke openly, feeling relieved in her heart.
How could the bond between teacher and student over two lifetis be severed by just a few words? She knew her teacher’s character, and now that she had spoken her mind, she was certain her teacher would never force her in the future.
Just as she reached her car, Aka called out to her from behind.
“Mrs. Kiara!”
“What’s the matter?” Kiara asked.
“My boss wants to et you.”
“Oh?” Kiara’s hand, which was about to open the car door, let go. She turned around, leisurely looking at Aka.
The mysterious man behind Aka, was he finally ready to co out?
When rescuing Jojo, Aka had already said that upon their return her boss would et Kiara, but Kiara had not expected it to be so soon.
“Kiara Baby~” Professor Joel ca over, huffing and puffing, and flashed Kiara an especially radiant smile.
This young lady was still walking fast in her high heels. He had just co out and got tied up in a conversation with another professor which delayed him, almost causing him to miss catching up to her.
“I’ve told you not to call that,” Kiara said, her skin crawling every ti he addressed her that way.
“Precious Kiara?”
“…Just get to the point if you have sothing to say.”
Kiara found herself feeling helpless against this shaless, thick-skinned man.
“I have a box of special throat lozenges here which should help your throat. I hear your voice is still a bit hoarse,” Professor Joel said, smiling brightly as he took out the lozenges from his pocket.
They were hand-made, so they weren’t packaged.
But don’t assu they ca in a plastic bag – they were in an exquisite sandalwood carving box, inlaid with ivory and gems no less!
This subtle gesture, like the last ti he brought expensive antique bottles filled with Flower Carving Wine, ant that the container was worth more than the content!
“I don’t like accepting things from strangers,” Kiara said, without reaching for the box, just looking at him coolly.
She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that this guy was a bit too attentive towards her.
“You said yourself that if I ca in person, you would take your dicine properly. Now that I’m here, be good – you still need to take your dicine. It’s not good to have lingering issues,” he said.
Aka nodded in agreent. Indeed, the boss was right.
Kiara, who initially appeared uninterested, suddenly got the main point of Professor Joel’s words; if he ca, she had to accept his gift and take the dicine – could it be?!
She rembered that previously, when Aka brought Kiara sothing and Kiara refused it, she told Aka to have her boss co over in person if he wanted her to accept the gift.
Does Jason Joel an to say that he is –
“He is my boss,” Aka’s explanation seed to freeze the world for a few seconds.
In the scorching sun, amidst the hustle and bustle of traffic, only the three of them stood like statues, as if even their breath was stilled.
“So, you are the one who arranged for Aka to follow ?” Kiara squeezed the words through clenched teeth.
“Yes.”
“You had her protect all the ti?”
“Yes.”
“Her eavesdropping on our ho with listening devices, was that your instigation?”
“…that’s her own wicked hobby. Actually, she eavesdrops not just on you; she does the sa when I have a girlfriend,” Professor Joel said, also exasperated by Aka’s wicked hobby.
“So, what exactly is your purpose in doing this? Don’t tell you vet a student more strictly than a political review,” Kiara’s voice sounded gentle but if Camden was here, he would definitely retreat a few steps silently.
Only Camden could hear the hint of gunpowder in Kiara’s tone. Although Yuzo Joel had conducted an in-depth analysis of Kiara’s personality, he still was unfamiliar with so of her little habits. Seeing her so gentle, he continued to blabber away obliviously.
“I can’t tell you my purpose right now, but I have no ill intentions towards you. I believe ti will prove everything. How does that ancient poem go… ‘A heart of ice within a jade pot.'”
“Oh… a jade pot,” Kiara said coldly.
“Uh-huh!” Blissfully unaware, Jason Joel nodded stupidly.
“Good, very good.”
After Kiara spoke, she suddenly stepped forward and gave Yuzo Joel’s face two swift slaps!
The slaps were crisp and loud.
“Don’t let see you again, ow da ntal case!” After speaking, Kiara flipped Yuzo Joel the middle finger, a gesture totally out of keeping with her status, yet paired with an exceptionally gentle voice.
“If I catch you snooping on and my husband again, I’ll beat you up!”
Having said that, she got into the car with flair.
Against soone who spied on her and played her for a fool, she felt no need for restraint; beating him was the right choice!
Not until Kiara’s red car left behind a choking exhaust did Aka snap out of her stunned state.
“Boss?” she swallowed nervously.
Was what just happened not an illusion?
Mrs. Kiara had not only slapped the Boss twice but also flipped him the bird?
“Haha, how cute.” Yuzo Joel shook his head at Kiara’s car, marveling at her feisty temper.
“She’s just like that. I’m mainly to bla for not making things clear. Mrs. Kiara really doesn’t like others prying into her privacy,” Aka explained carefully, wary of the Boss’s reaction.
She feared the Boss might bla Mrs. Kiara, recalling the fate of the last person who crossed the Boss—the Principal who tried to unleash a madman on Mrs. Kiara.
He’s now suffering a ntal breakdown, living in the psychiatric hospital for treatnt.
The Boss is always smiling, but no one knows if his smiles are genuine or fake. So, after seeing Mrs. Kiara scold and beat the Boss, Aka’s first instinct was to run out and take the bla.
“It’s your fault!” the Boss glared at Aka, “I’m docking half a month’s pay! I told you to protect her closely, did I ever tell you to eavesdrop on her?”
“I just happened to… Who knew she would get so angry…”
“How does Camden Yuno treat her?”
“Very well.” Wait, why did the topic shift here?
Aka turned into small beady eyes.
“Boss?!”
Hadn’t the Boss just righteously criticized her for not eavesdropping on a married couple’s private conversations? Why suddenly indulge in gossip?
“Do you want to keep getting your pay docked? Since you listened, you should report sothing useful! What’s the guy’s ability to get things done?”
“… I only heard the beginning, didn’t catch the details, but… it should be fairly good…”
Yuzo Joel pursed his lips, “I might invite him out soday for a sauna or sothing, I still need to check up on that…”
“Boss?!” Oh no! And he still has the nerve to say he’s wicked, who’s the one with wicked tastes?!?
Inside, Aka felt like she was screaming at the top of her lungs.
“Are you a parrot? Just repeating what I say? What are you looking at, let’s go, I’ll take you for a al. And while we’re at it, let’s test if you’ve kept up with your howork. Have you mastered the core content of Sigmund Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis?”
