“You didn’t? Please, you know exactly what you said.”
“Helping? Give me a break. You’re just gross.”
Sophia made a face, pure disgust written all over her.
If the teacher hadn’t been there, she probably would have spit right in the guy’s hair.
The boy went straight to tattling. “Teacher, did you see her attitude?”
The teacher looked him over and sighed. “Alright, that’s enough. Stop crying. You got hit a few times, but you’re a guy. Is this really how you act?”
“Girls don’t hit that hard anyway, right?”
The boy stared at him. “Are you talking about other girls, or these two?”
He pointed at his own black eyes. “Look at me. You call this not hard?”
The teacher took one look at those panda eyes and nearly laughed.
Sophia didn’t like being called weak. “Teacher, that was the fist of justice.”
The teacher shot her a look, like, I’m trying to help here, maybe don’t push your luck. Just wait until the boy’s parents show up.
“Teacher, just give us a minute, okay? We’re almost done eating.”
Claire had no plans to get chewed out on an empty stomach.
She grabbed Sophia’s arm. “Let’s eat.”
The two of them went back to their food, digging in like nothing happened. The teacher took the boy off to the nurse’s office.
Right before he left, Claire leaned in close and whispered, “Recycled grease.”
The boy actually shuddered. He got it. That was a threat.
If his family tried to stir up trouble, everyone would find out their hotpot place used recycled oil.
He had no idea how Claire even knew about that. His family had paid off reporters, inspectors, everyone.
Now what was he supposed to do? Should he even tell his parents?
