Chapter 244
She couldn't afford to leave her position as she still had many tasks to work on. She could only pacify
him with her words. Mark was satisfied at her response, and he walked out of Raine’s room while still
talking o n the phone. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
But before he left, he looked at her deeply, showing her an inexplicable expression...
As he disappeared before her, a beautiful but proud Raine finally slumped into the sofa after holding on
to a straight posture. She was hurt as if pierced by needles; and the density of the pain caused her to
be out of breath.
Not only didn't he answer her question, but he left while jovially speaking to Summer on the phone;
moreover... he had ignored her presence.
Her heart filled with anxiety. She was afraid, afraid that Mark had fallen for Summer...
Because, never once had he treated her in this manner
Thus, she couldn't leave the situation to advance further for she was certain that its result wasn't
something she could endure.
On the other side.
Summer thought that he would instruct Harry to deliver the coursework; but instead, he had showed up
personally.
She was still organizing the files on her desk when suddenly, she was startled by a sound of breathing.
She turned around only to find Mark clad in a black jacket and standing behind her.
She received the books from him and studied him carefully. Then, she filled a cup of warm water from
the dispenser and handed it to him. "Why didn't you let Harry send them?"
Mark slid his big hands along the side of the cup as he sat his tall figure on her seat. "Mrs. Valentine
doesn't want to meet me?"
All the other teachers in the staff room had their eyes glued on the two of them.
The scene was as if monkeys caged in a zoo, and it made Summer feel uncomfortable nor could she
adapt to it.
"It's not like that. I thought you were busy so you would assign Harry to do it..."
Taking a drink, he said, "I had some free time..."
More and more people flocked to the staff room as if wanting to catch a glimpse of Mark's elegance;
and they clogged the entrance.
Summer felt her head spin at the commotion. She regretted her decision to call him!
"Aren't you leaving? don't you need to return to your office?" Summer pestered him as he showed no
signs o f leaving.
Her words caused Mark's expression to darken, and a deep frown appeared.
They also made him feel as if he was an unsightly presence!
He sat there without moving a muscle while still wearing his handsome but dark expression. At the
same time, news of his presence had quickly spread out.
The principal and head of form walked in shortly after. They greeted Mark courteously and
enthusiastically invited him to the principal's office.
Glancing at the crowd, Mark lost his interest. He stood up and calmly nodded at the principal. "We can
do it next time; I still have a few meetings to attend."
"Very well, please have a safe journey, Mr. Valentine.” The principal nodded his head as he spoke,
wanting t o get into his good books.
