CHAPTER 150

“Alright, Mr. Principal. If you don’t throw Jones out today, I’ll make sure your school suffers!”Without

showing any signs of backing down, Professor Jones sneered, “As the renowned Professor Williams,

you’re actually threatening people? What’s the meaning of this?”Caught in the middle of the situation,

the principal hurriedly said, “Please don’t get so worked up, professors. Janet will be here soon and

then you can ask for her opinion. Even if I’m the school principal, I cannot make any decisions for her.”

Turning to Professor Williams, he continued, “Don’t you agree?”That seemed to work this time as both

of them quieted down. Despite the truth in his words, anyone who was smart would want to recruit a

talent such as Janet into their own institution.“I don’t care, Janet has to come to our school no matter

what. Even if she’s not willing to come to our school, she shouldn’t attend Jones’ school,” Professor

Williams grumbled.All of the principal’s earlier efforts to dissuade the situation went down the drain as

Professor Jones lashed out in anger again, “What do you mean by that, Williams? Just because your

trashy school is unable to recruit a talent like Janet, you can’t stop us from recruiting her!”“Trashy? How

dare you insult the top arts institute in Barnsford?”And again, they started an argument.Just as the

principal tried to pacify them again, Janet appeared at the office door. “Are you looking for me, Sir?”

she asked as she leaned against the doorframe lazily.Breaking into a brilliant smile, the principal

chirped, “That’s right, come in quickly!”Upon hearing her voice, both professors sprang up from their

seats and went forward to greet her.“Please take a seat, Master Nato!” Professor Williams said

ingratiatingly as he pulled out a chair for her.“How are you, Mr Nato? Nice to meet you,” Professor

Jones said, smiling agreeably.Nodding, she thanked him softly, “Thank you.” Opening her eyes, her

vision was blurry as she yawned and gazed at the two men in front of her. “Why are you looking for

me?” she asked, expressionless. “Master Nato, I’m here today to ask you if you would like to come to

Opera Academy?” Professor Williams asked politely.“Joining our Painting Academy is the correct

decision, Master Nato,” Professor Jones said firmly.While both of them looked at her with anticipation

and respect in their eyes, she didn’t really hear their formalities and had simply heard vaguely the

schools they mentioned for her to go. “Why should I go?” she asked, her round eyes filled with

bafflement. “Why should I go?”The intense emotions which both professors had earlier instantly died

down with her question. Clutching his chest, Professor Williams asked bitterly, “Aren’t you even going

to think about it, Master Nato?”Worried, Professor Jones said, “Master Nato, let me be honest. Our

school is inviting you to be the associate professor!”The principal, who was watching at the side, almost

fell from his chair as he stared wide-eyed at him in disbelief. “What? A-Associate professor?”“Master

Nato, not only can you be a professor in our school, but you can also request for any benefits you

would like. The chancellor even mentioned that he’ll arrange a building solely for your classes,” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Professor Williams fawned.Shocked from everything he had just heard, the principal no longer knew

how to react. On the other hand, the young teen merely lifted her eyes nonchalantly and answered, “I’m

not interested.”With his eyes almost popping out of its socket, the principal thought that she must have

lost her mind and tugged at her shirt, asking, “Ms. Jackson, didn’t you hear what they said?”Casting

him a gaze, she raised her brows slightly and said, “I heard them clearly that they’re inviting me to their

schools to be a professor.”The principal’s mind turned blank at her reply as he was not expecting that

she would reject their offers so breezily.Regardless if it was the Opera Academy or Painting Academy,

they were both institutions which many could only dream about joining, not to mention that she would

be joining as a professor. Unwilling to give up, Professor Jones decided to give it another shot and

said, “Not only does our school excel in painting, but we’re also offering scholarships from the

government every year and millions of that will be allocated to you, Master Nato!”
