Chapter 18: Rumors in the school

The two days finished in the blink of an eye, and the most frustrating day in the week came, i.e., Monday.

Carla is still sleeping, covering herself fully with the quilt.

Adaline is unable to wake up due to soreness in her body, whereas Margery is happily lying on Easton in her dreamland.

Easton lovingly kissed her temple and woke her up.

The woman forgot there is a big campus she has to take care of and drooling in sleep while hugging her husband in the early morning.

Rome woke up in their room first and went to have a bath. After having a shower, he woke up Adaline tidying the room, he said:

"You have a school to attend, get up now. I am going to prepare a bathtub for you".

Adaline hitting him with the pillow and turning on another side to continue her sleep, saying,

"It was all your fault in the first place to make tired with all the steamy be activities. Why can't you restrain yourself."

Rome, after preparing hot water for her came to her and kissed her "ooh darling, don't blame me now, it was you who screamed yesterday for more, did you forget..?" said teasing her.

Looking at her flushed face, he is more driven to tease her.

"hmm.. if you don't want to go to school, take leave then, we will continue our remaining session," he added, further moving his hand into her nightgown.

Adaline jolted up and ran into the bathroom, saying she will get ready in five minutes. Rome laughed out loudly and went out of the room.

Being the head butler of the mansion, he has to take care of the maintenance of this giant mansion.

He ordered the servants to prepare breakfast for all of them.

Easton woke up, freshen up, and went to Carla's room to wake her up. When he went into the room, Carla is still under the quilt.

Even though she woke up, she doesn't want to go to school today.

Easton sitting on the edge of the bed, kissing her lovely and speaking softly,

"Dear wake up, and it's already 8'o clock. You are going to be late if not. Come on; darling woke up already, I am going to ready your bathtub for a bath".

When I come back, you should wake up okay, saying he went into the washroom and prepared water for her.

It took some 10 minutes for him to go back.

Carla is still lying on the bed, refusing to get up; he got a naughty idea and immediately went back to the washroom.

Carla sneakily looked out of the quilt, thinking he might go out of the room, she got up and was about to close her bedroom's door.

Easton came back with a bucket of water and emptied it on Carla. Being poured on with mild cold water, Carla shrieked and started jumping up and down.

"Uncle, what have you done to me? I will complain to my mamma now. Look at me all drenched up along with the bed.

She moved forward to catch him up for a good beating, saying that. They started playing like this for quite some time.

Margery woke up from sleep, then freshen up and came to into the hall. Listening to Carla's shriek, she went into her room.

Looking at Easton and Carla playing around the room, Margery is all smiles.

She got teary thinking about her childhood days with her sister.

Because of an unexpected war that happened years ago, she lost all her family and her lineage. Those days were delighted days for her.

She kept on looking at them with smiles; when they were too immersed in their fight, she said, "stop, stop, it's enough we are getting late to the college.

Come on, Carla, it's not fair to take unnecessary leave. Get ready now and then come to have breakfast."

Saying this, she went out along with Easton. Margery informed all the servants that from today Adaline and Rome would stay with them in the main mansion.

Rome is not their butler, but Easton's assistant, today onwards, I want you all to treat him like one of us. She introduced Easton formally to them as her husband.

The servants were of their world, so it's not that difficult to accept him as their mistress's husband. They were used to meet before also.

Adaline, Margery, and Carla reached the school campus while Rome was driving the vehicle.

Once they reached the campus, Adaline went to the staff room and Margery to her principal office room.

Carla took her time to got her classroom as there is still time.

She went to the library for some books to read. In the corridor of the library, students were gossiping, looking at her weirdly.

Her red eyes with paler skin appear when she is furious about anything at remaining times, she can conceal them. Usually, her eyes are light brown.

Getting weird looks is typical for her paying no attention to them; she entered into the library.

Even Adaline got the same looks while she is on her way to the staff room.

Paying no attention, she went into the staff room and was preparing for the class.

In between the papers, she placed on her desk; there is a note saying,

"It seems our teacher is interested in poor butler. How sad, be my mistress, I will give more benefits."

Looking at the note, the color on her face drained; she almost lost her temper. Unable to ask who wrote the letter, she calmly folded it and placed it in her handbag.

Some other male professors asked her, "professor Adaline there are rumors about you roaming with headmistress butler. Have you enjoyed your time with him..?

I mean, have you enjoyed the day with him, by the way, how was your day on the beach. It seems there was another man with you".

All the professors laughed at remarks making some more nasty comments on her. Adaline almost lashed out on them, lasing her temper.

Mr. baron, listening to them, said, of course, professor, it is her life we have anything to say. By the way, I have heard that you were involved in some debts, is it true..?

The professor who commented on Adaline stammering said, "no, no professor baron, they were just random rumors. Please don't believe them".

Yes, yes, in your case, they were just rumors, but in her suit, that is true. Have any of you seen them personally, no right..?

Even if she is roaming with someone, what's your problem? Moreover, Do you have any right to judge Adaline..?

It will be good for us if we do our work, not meddling in other's affairs.

We are professors here, and we shouldn't give bad teaching to the children," saying, so he left the staff room.

Adaline is placing both hands on her table and leaning towards the front, "listen carefully, everyone here; it's none of your business whom I like or with whom I spent my days.

Especially professor Charlie, if you be in your limits, it will be good for your health.

Don't believe in everything you listen from here and there," saying she left for her class.

Since Margery is the head and principle of this campus, no one dared to plant any rumors about her; instead, they all shifted to Carla.

When Carla reached her classroom, everyone welcomed her, with all the photos of her picnic on the blackboard. All these photos are focused on her, Easton and Rome.

They were hinting on something immoral. All these photos clicked from a hidden spot in a compromising angle. Hence it's automatically mistaken by the students.

All the students were giving dirty looks to her and were spouting nonsense to each other. The only person who is very happy seeing all this is Carla.

Even though she knew the truth, she is not at all in a hurry to clarify this.

Moreover, she is anticipating to see Carla's flustered face with shame.

She is expecting to watch her getting humiliated by the students.

Carla calmly sat on her usual seat and looked outside, hoping to see the same wolf, not bothering them.

One student bravely stood up and shouted, how shameless can you be..?

Is it what you are learning under principal madam's care.

You should at least care about your adoptive mother's reputation, if not yours.

What a shameless creature you are, I have never thought you to be like this," saying, so she shifted to another seat.

Sassy happily enjoying this, but she got frustrated, looking at Carla's calm face. Carla getting up from her seat, said,

Why should I be shameless instead of the one who took those pictures in a wrong angle.?

Moreover, have any of you seen me doing something wrong with your eyes.

If not, please shut your mouths and do your work instead of poking into other's matters.

If any of you doesn't want to stay in the class, feel free to get out.

Saying so, she took a picture of the blackboard and sat down on her seat.

She removed the photos and directly sent them to the principal's room.

Apart from this nonsense, the rest of the day went smoothly, and Easton came to pick them up from the college.

When Easton reached the campus, professors gathered in the principal's office discussing Adaline and Carla's behavior.

Professor charlie is upset with being scolded by Adaline, and he is adamant about making this a big issue. He wants Adaline to resign from the job.

Easton reached the principal office and directly kissed Margery on the lips in front of everyone and said, "darling, how was your day.? Where is my princess, and shall we go home..?

With his remarks, everyone shut their mouths about Carla as the person they thought Carla is involved in is involved with their principal.

But they were adamant on Adaline to resign as they don't want this educational campus's reputation to ruin.

Taking this as an opportunity, some greedy people secretly immediately informed this to the st. Mary's trustee members were hoping to eliminate her as the head.

Easton didn't even take a look at the people behind him all this time and took Carla's belongings while holding her in hand.
