Ariana stifled a laugh, "Oh..."
Even though their current situation was a bit somber, the two of them seemed to become more natural with each other.
In the morning, Lambert escorted Ariana to school, and his striking red Ferrari caught the attention of many.
There were full classes today, and after being messed around by Lambert yesterday, Ariana felt weak all over. She walked into the classroom sluggishly.
On the contrary, everyone in the classroom seemed to be very excited. Fanny said enthusiastically, "It seems we have a handsome substitute teacher today!"
Ariana was surprised, "A substitute?"
Fanny said excitedly, "Yes, a really handsome guy in a white shirt!"
She didn't know why, but she thought of Lambert.
But she quickly dismissed the idea, as Fanny would know if it was Lambert.
After a while, there were exclamations at the classroom door.
Ariana's heart tightened, she followed the eyes to the door, only to find Griffin standing there, dressed in a white shirt, with his thin lips slightly pursed. He looked genteel and scholarly, quite different from Lambert's playboy elegance, but also very charming.
Her heart calmed down instantly, and she indifferently withdrew her gaze.
The girls in the classroom began cheering at the sight of Griffin, "It's Griffin! He's really famous! He skipped several grades when he studied abroad!"
"So handsome! I don't know why, but the teachers lately are really handsome! And they are so smart!"
"Do you think Professor Stone is more handsome, or is Teacher Meadows more handsome?"
"I think each has its own beauty!"
Griffin looked at Ariana. Seeing her blatantly ignoring him, his chest felt a slight sting.
Right now, Ariana did not wish to see Griffin. However, if she stood and left immediately, it would only give the gossips a chance to make a story out of it.
Fortunately, nothing abnormal happened when Griffin was holding the class.
Moreover, his teaching method was quite unique, extremely popular among the students, something that Ariana admired.
When class ended, Ariana was about to go to lunch with Fanny, but was stopped by Griffin.
"Ari, I have something to discuss with you."
Ariana paused, wanting to leave immediately, but Fanny was surprised.
"You... Ari, do you know each other?"
Fanny's loud voice garnered the attention of everyone around them. Inwardly taken aback, Ariana gave Fanny a little pinch.
Turning indifferently to Griffin, she asked, "What can I do for you, Teacher Meadows?"
Seeing that she had to respond, Griffin couldn't help but want to laugh, "It's not convenient here. Why don't we talk while having lunch?"
Ignoring him, Ariana was about to leave when Griffin said: "Don't tell me you want me to talk about the last incident in front of all these people?"
Feeling the strange atmosphere, Fanny whispered somewhat frightened, "What... what's going on with you two?"
Ariana hated to be threatened, she held on to Fanny and said coldly: "I'm sorry, but I don't think there's anything worth discussing!"
Watching the anxious-looking handsome man in front of him, Maeve retorted gruffly, "She's not going to die. We don't need so many people here. You all should go out first!"
He hesitated, "But..."
Maeve forcefully said, "Out!"
After Lambert finished his work, he went directly to find Ariana. As he was leaving the company, he called Ariana, but another person answered the phone. Hearing that Ariana was in the medical room, his face darkened, and he dropped his phone and drove straight to the school.
When Lambert arrived, he just saw Griffin and Beverly walking out.
Entering, he saw Ariana reclining on the bed with a not-so-healthy complexion.
Lambert noticed her pale face, which wasn't as severe as he had imagined, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
He had thought of many possibilities on his way here.
Under the reminder of the person next to her, Ariana also saw Lambert entering from the door of the medical room, but only gave him a faint glance before she continued to lower her head to play with her phone. Moving aside for the person next to her, Lambert walked and stood next to the bed.
"What happened? How did you get injured like this?"
"What else could've happened? Other than Beverly and Griffin, who would target me like this?" Ariana snorted coldly, then rotated to play with her phone, indicating that she didn't want to see Lambert's face.
However, her injury was on her waist. She couldn't move, so she could only turn her head. This uncomfortable position made her very tired. Sooner or later, Ariana turned back and saw Lambert frowning, not knowing what he was thinking about. She suddenly felt a stuffiness in her heart and carelessly threw the phone aside.
She stated blandly, "I got bumped into by a journalist when I was leaving the teaching building. Have you ever seen someone getting a waist injury from just a bump? Those two clearly were out to harm me. Moreover, the internet probably has my negative information by now. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have been kind back then. This is the price I'm paying for my kindness."
Speaking, Ariana grinded her teeth, "If I get a chance, I won't let them get away, humph!"
