Chapter 181
"Mrs Wilson, are you okay? Is it about the promotion?" Quentin Rodriguez suddenly approached Mia, lowering his voice. "I heard there are only a few spots from the education bureau this year, and our school only gets ten. The competition is tough. But I can help you out; my uncle could put in a word with Principal Zach Jackson."
"No, thank you. I believe Principal Jackson will be fair. If I don’t get it, it’s because I’m not good enough. I don’t need your help, Mr. Rodriguez."
Mia shot Quentin a cold glance, knowing his true intentions. Ever since he had pretended to be a masked man and assaulted her at her doorstep, she had seen through his despicable nature. He was a man without boundaries, willing to do anything to achieve his goals. Compared to him, Principal Zach Jackson, who also wanted her, at least acted openly and didn’t resort to such vile tactics.
"Mia Wilson, don’t be so proud. If you miss the promotion, don’t come crying to me," Quentin said angrily when he saw Mia unmoved. In rural schools, he had always managed to make female teachers submit through threats or bribes, but Mia was like a thorny rose, unaffected by either. Frustrated, he left the office with a harsh remark.
"Mia Wilson, don’t get involved with him. Quentin Rodriguez is just a bully," Ethan Sanders said, shaking his head. "It’s not worth getting angry. Be careful and if necessary, report him to the school. I don’t believe Principal Jackson would stand by."
Mia felt a pang of bitterness. She had been naive, but Ethan seemed even more so. Quentin had the backing of the deputy director of the education bureau. Principal Zach Jackson had no personal connection to her and wouldn’t risk offending powerful figures for her sake. Unless she agreed to be Principal Jackson’s mistress. Mia couldn’t sell her dignity and become a man’s plaything. If it came to that, she’d rather resign.
The bell rang, signaling the end of Monday morning classes. Students left their classrooms in groups, heading towards the school gate or the cafeteria. Kevin, however, walked towards the office building with his composition in hand, under Mike Adams’ sympathetic gaze. Everyone assumed Kevin was going to be scolded by Camila but was unaware that he was about to have a passionate encounter with his mature homeroom teacher.
Thinking of Camila possibly lying on the bed with her white, plump booty waiting for him, Kevin’s excitement grew. He recalled the time when he had almost accidentally run into a sexy teacher in the stairwell earlier.
Kevin slowed his hurried pace, not wanting another embarrassing encounter. As he reached the corner, a graceful figure hurried down the stairs, not noticing Kevin until it was too late. With a gasp, she collided with him. Instinctively, Kevin opened his arms, catching the warm, soft body against his chest.
