Chapter 1241


    “Obviously, it’s crucial to maintain good rtions with your coworkers, hell, even more so with your


    superiors. Like, if you ever butt heads with your boss. you have got to find a solution as soon as


    possible, so you don’t really piss him off andnd yourself in hot water,” Henson said, taking his sweet


    time.


    Estelle, hearing his words, snorted, “You’re not hinting at the thing between me and Jonathan, are


    you?”


    “Sharp cookie, you’re not as bad as i thought!” Henson responded, grinning like a Cheshire cat


    “Cut the crap. If I’m such a dunce, howe I ended up as your teacher and you’re not mine?”


    “Stop beating around the bush. Are you nning on keeping up this rtionship with him?” Henson


    asked, raising an eyebrow.


    “He’s the one who’s mad at me


    “Then you should think about what you did to tick him off!”


    Estelle red at him, her eyes shing with anger, “Even if he’s your uncle, I’m still your teacher. Don’t


    be so biased”


    “Who’s the one who started the fight?” Henson shot back defiantly, Tm being fair here!”


    “How do you know he’s not just throwing a tantrum? Besides, even if I extend an olive branch, he might


    not ept it.”


    “Humph!” Henson was skeptical. “If you make the first move, I bet he’ll forgive you in a heartbeat!”


    A flicker of irritation shed across Estelle’s eyes. “Enough about him. Time for ss!”


    Henson looked at her and smirked, “Running away won’t solve anything!”


    Estelle paused while flipping through book but didn’t reply.


    The first ss went smoothly. During the break, Henson took out several test papers out of his bag.


    “Take a look!”


    “The results are in?” Estelle took them, nced over and immediately broke into a smile, “Not bad!”


    Henson was as cool as a cucumber, “Well, who do you think the teacher was?”


    Estelle couldn’t help but chuckle.


    -Henson leaned in, “Feeling better? Today, instead of teaching me how to shoot, you can do me


    another favor.”


    “What’s that?” Estelle inquired.


    “Give these test papers to my uncle so he can show them to my parents.” Henson didn’t bother hiding


    his intentions, Tve found the solution, just ept


    Estelle huffed, “Why don’t you find a solution with your uncle?”


    “You’re the adult here, be the bigger person and stop bickering” Henson said, then his voice dropped,


    “He’s been having trouble sleeping and has beening home well past midnight. Fabian told me his


    light is on till 3 or 4 AM if this goes on, even the strongest body will give out!”


    He looked up at Estelle, his eyes hopeful, “Don’t you care at all?”


    Estelle felt a sharp sting in her heart, the pain spreading through her veins.


    “Come on, I’ll go with you. Even if my uncle doesn’t give you the time of day, he’ll do it for me. I promise


    I won’t let you be embarrassed!” Henson shoved the test papers into her hands and pulled her towards


    the door,


    Once they reached the third floor and stood in front of Jonathan’s bedroom, Henson whispered, “Don’t

    chicken out, knock with confidence!”


    Estelle held the papers tightly in her hand and gently knocked on the door. After waiting for a few


    seconds with no response, she turned to Henson, “Are you sure he’s home?”


    “He’s in, I saw him this morning, and I didn’t see him leave.” Henson assured her confidently, “Knock


    again, louder this time. He might not hear you from inside.”


    Estelle suddenly remembered what Mird had said the day she returned from the party. She took a


    deep breath and knocked on the door again.


    Still, no response.


    Could Jonathan know it was her outside? Was he intentionally ignoring her?
