Laura was relieved and went downstairs with him to have the meal.
The table was set well. While seeing her sit down, William Walton asked: Do you want a drink?
She rolled her eyes at him and said with a stifled voice, "I don't drink. In the future, I will never drink in front of you again."
"Then who are you going to drink with?"
"Don't worry about that. In the future, I won't let you see me drunk."
William Walton said seriously: "If you dare drink in front of a second man other than me, I'll break your legs, do you remember?"
Because of his tone, the butler by the side broke out in a cold sweat for the sake of Laura.
She looked at him. "Why are you so meddlesome?"
"You were the one who took the initiative last night. With your looks, I can't push you away, and neither can those other men. Just being drunk means being taken advantage of. So, I should warn you." He raised his eyebrows. "The woman I touched, even if I have to raise you for the rest of your life, I won't allow you to be touched by others. Do you remember that?"
She was embarrassed, she glanced at the butler behind him and glared at him: "Stop talking, hurry up and eat."
"I asked you if you remembered."
She was speechless. Why didn't he feel embarrassed at all? She nodded again and again. "Yes, yes. I remembered."
"Also, don't go with that principal to do public relations with other men, do you hear me?"
She frowned, "I never did that before. If it wasn't for you last night, I would never have gone out to eat with the Principal."
Hearing her words, William Walton smirked and picked up the fork.
When she mentioned the Principal, she thought of Monica Brown. She looked at him and after hesitating for a moment, she did not say anything.
William Walton swallowed two mouthfuls of food before saying, "Just say what you want to say, don't stutter."
"The matter of Monica Brown's resignation, was it because of you?"
William Walton only laughed, but did not reply.
She asked, "Why did you do that?"
"What do you think?" he said, looking at her arm.
"Is it really because of the injury of my arm?"
"Because she broke her promise, and also because she was narrow-minded, I warned her that you were the woman I was covering for, but clearly, she didn't take my words to heart, so it can't be said that I drove her away. I think that she is committing her own sins, she couldn't blame others."
When she heard him say this, she did not argue any further.
She understood his good intentions, so she naturally didn't need to say anything more.
After dinner, she went upstairs to her room to read.
William Walton went to the study room to busy himself for a while before coming up and entering her room.
"Do you want to sleep in your room tonight, or come to my place?"
Laura frowned. "You mean it?"
"Do you think I have nothing better to do? Do you think I'm here to play with you?"
As he spoke, he closed the door, "Then let's sleep in this room. It will save your trouble of going back and forth. Keep reading, I'll go take a bath."
He went into the bathroom and sat up on the bed. She looked down at her dress.
No matter how she looked at it, it was not safe.
"Didn't she graduate from Harvard? I heard that the diploma is very strong." On the contrary, she felt that this matter couldn't be decided by looks.
"What? No matter how capable she is, how can she be the spokesperson with that appearance? When the students saw this, they thought, Holy crap, this school's teachers were ugly, and it'll affect their learning motivation. No one would apply for our school."
Hearing Sabrina's words, Garry could not help but laugh: "I also feel that Linda is unsuitable, but it is a pity that counselors can't be candidates, and if we can, then I will recommend myself as well, because this is a good thing to bring honor to my family."
"Save it, since we have Laura here, no one will win." Sabrina laughed heartily.
Garry pointed to her face and said, "I really want to exchange looks with you."
On the other hand, Sabrina secretly smiled, "I want to exchange breasts with her."
The three of them simultaneously looked at her chest. She embarrassedly furled her coat and said: "This cloth makes them look bigger."
As soon as she finished speaking, the waiter came and served them food.
With food, everyone changed the topic as they ate.
At noon, Laura rested in her office for a while. Just as she was about to take her students to fight in the tournament, someone knocked on the door and came in: "Miss Green, Principal Burke invites you over."
"Thank you."
After that person left, all three pairs of eyes in the office focused on her.
Sabrina asked: "Miss Green, what's wrong?"
She shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. "Who knows? I'll have to take a look before I know."
She pretended as if nothing had happened and walked out, but she was still a bit puzzled in her heart.
Why would the principal look for her so openly?
Was it related to William Walton again?
