Just like that, the meeting came to an end after a brief discussion. Pippa stood at the classroom door and waved goodbye at the parents as they left.
Roxanne walked up to her with a concerned expression and asked, “Ms. Ward, are you sure you don’t want to change the plot for Sleeping Beauty? I don’t know if it’s appropriate for children to witness that final scene…”
Pippa flashed her a reassuring smile as she replied, “Don’t worry, Ms. Jarvis. The kids already know about this sort of thing. Besides, you’re not really going to kiss in front of them. You’ll be positioning yourselves to look like you’re kissing.”
Pippa then looked behind her and asked, “I’m sure you’ll offer your full cooperation, right, Mr. Farwell?”
Roxanne tensed up when she heard that.
“Of course,” Lucian replied, his voice sounding like he was whispering right next to her ear.
Roxanne lowered her gaze and stepped aside before turning around to look at him.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Jarvis. I’m not the kind of guy who would take advantage of others. Besides, you and I are both parents. There’s no way we’d be doing anything inappropriate,” Lucian said with a cold look on his face.
“Relax, Ms. Jarvis. It’ll just be a bunch of kids watching the play,” Pippa added.
Unsure of what to say, Roxanne nodded with a forced smile. “Thank you for what you did earlier.”
“No need to thank me. I was just doing my job!” Pippa replied casually with a chuckle.
Roxanne then had a brief chat with her before leaving.
She was about to open her car door when she heard Lucian’s voice coming from behind her again
“Since you’ve agreed to work with me, you’re not going to bring your personal emotions into the play, right, Ms. Jarvis?”
Roxanne turned around and nodded calmly. “You may rest assured that I’ll give the kindergarten my full cooperation, Mr. Farwell.”
She deliberately emphasized that she was only going along with the play as it was part of the kindergarten’s activities.
The look in Lucian’s eyes turned gloomy when he heard that. “That’s good to hear. I hope we will be able to work well together.”
Roxanne fcit a little uneasy as she nodded in response.
Knowing this guy, he’s not going to let me leave so easily. Fortunately, I’ve already prepared an excuse for myself
To her surprise, Lucian turned around and got into his car without saying a word.
Roxanne froze in shock when she saw him start the car and drive off..
“Ms. Jarvis,” Cassandra called out to her.
Roxanne snapped out of her daze and turned around.
“I’m sorry for putting you in a tough spot earlier. I didn’t know Mr. Farwell’s daughter was so close with your kids,” Cassandra said apologetically as she made her way over.
Roxanne flashed her a faint smile in response. “It’s all right. I agreed to change teams too.”
Feeling slightly relieved after hearing that, Cassandra asked, “W-What about Mr. Farwell?’
Both of them knew full well what she was implying.
Cassandra was the one who suggested the team change, so she was afraid that Lucian would get mad and come after her.
As such, she wanted Roxanne to help talk Lucian out of doing so.
Roxanne was a little hesitant when she recalled Lucian’s cold expression from earlier. “I don’t think you have to worry about it. After all, the issue has been resolved, and Mr. Farwell isn’t that petly of a person.”
However, Cassandra was still staring at her with a fearful and pleading look in her eyes,
Eventually, Roxanne had no choice but to agree to her request. “All right, I promise I’ll explain it to him properly.”
“Thank you very much! Just let me know if you ever need my help with anything, okay? I’ll do my best to assist you!” Cassandra thanked her profusely while breathing
a sigh of relief
Roxanne simply pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything.
