A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 158

Linda was taken aback. "He confessed? What happened after, did you accept his love?"

Her questions left Bun dumbfounded, which confirmed Linda's suspicions. She knew that Bun would never accept Paul now.

She could sense that Bun was falling Brian, and she understood why. After all, Brian was a charming man. Any woman would feel the same way.

"I didn't. But I feel so bad about it." Bun replied finally.

"It's natural to feel sad. You did love him in the past, but he never expressed his interest for years. It's alright, sweetheart. These negative feelings will go away soon."

"I know. But can I really go through this? Why would I feel so sad if I didn't love him? Your ladyship, I truly believe..." Bun continued.

"Try to be happy. How about I treat you to lunch today?"

"Ok, thank you. Your ladyship."

Bun was still upset when they arrived at the school. Noticing this, Linda decided to comfort her. After all, she knew Bun didn't love Paul anymore. Even the "love" she felt in the past was only admiration towards a big brother.

At noon, Linda and Bun bumped into Robert in the canteen. Robert waved at Linda the moment he saw her. Clearly, he was waiting for her.

It was at that moment that Linda recalled seeing Robert in the flag-raising ceremony yesterday morning. She hadn't asked why he was present at the time.

She asked, "Robert, why are you here?" And walked towards him with a smile.

Robert smiled back and asked, "why wouldn't I be here?"

"Are you the new Chemistry teacher?"

"Yes, I am."

Robert heard that Z High School needed two new Chemistry teachers, so he applied for one of them. The Huo family sponsored half of the school scholarships and student subsidies. This made it quite easy for him to get a position in the school.

"It's such a coincidence that you and I are the new teachers in the same school." Linda remarked.

"Not really. The day we had dinner, I actually asked your mother where you're applying ."

Linda was rendered speechless. If Robert came here because of her, he knowingly applied as her competitor.

Fortunately, the school also needed a Psychology teacher, and Linda had some relevant knowledge. Otherwise, it would've been impossible for her to pass the interview.

"So the Chemistry teacher they told me about during my interview is you."

"Yes, I heard they were looking for two Chemistry teachers. So I took the opportunity to get an interview."

"Two? Really? They told me they only needed one Chemistry teacher the day I came for interview."

Robert was startled and wondered to himself, Is it possible I?got the wrong information?

"I'm so sorry, Linda. I didn't know that, and never wanted to compete with you. I honestly heard that they needed two teachers and thought I could work with you if I applied for this job..."

Linda smiled, shaking her head. "It doesn't matter, let it go. I'm a teacher here now, aren't I? Being a Psychology teacher might actually be better for me."

"Robert, how about having lunch with us? I'm really sorry for standing you up last time. It will be my treat."

"Sure, no problem."

Robert got excited at Linda's invitation. He chose to be a teacher here because he wanted to spend more time with Linda.

The three of them decided to leave the canteen to go to a western restaurant outside school for lunch.

On their way, Linda noticed that something was wrong with Bun.

Bun didn't look good. Linda touched Bun's forehead to find it burning up.

"Bun, do you have a fever?" Linda asked with concern.

Bun nodded her head. She felt so weak, she could hardly stand. "It seems I do. I feel dizzy now..."

"I'll have lunch with Robert and bring you some food.

You need to go to the school clinic and get some rest. The doctors there will give you some medicine." Bun shook her head determinedly, "I can't, your ladyship. It's my responsibility to always stay with you and keep you safe. It's the Young Master's orders."
