"So, do you want the job or not? If not, I'll find someone else. I heard that the retirees from the Dragon Special Force are looking for jobs now!" Francis retorted, rolling his eyes.
Wendell immediately smiled broadly.
"Oh, come on! I was just kidding. The Dragon Special Force is no match for us. They can't do a better job than we can!"
The others nodded in agreement.
With a smile, Francis replied, "Why don't you guys wait for me downstairs? I want to have a quick word with the boss."
Wendell nodded and led the rest down the stairs.
Shortly after, Carlisle emerged from the bathroom and found Francis in the living room.
"Did something happen to Wanda again?" Francis asked, noticing Wanda's belongings were still present in the apartment.
Since Wanda should have been living there with Carlisle, her absence raised concerns.
After hesitating briefly, Carlisle replied, "Wanda's father took her to Yorksle for treatment. I suspect he wants to separate us. I can't reach Wanda now, but I really need to know how she's doing."
Francis quickly understood Carlisle's concern.
"So you want us to search for Wanda?"
Carlisle nodded, affirming, "That'll be my last resort. I'll try to gather some information over the next few days. If I can't find anything in two days, then you'll head to Yorksle to look for her."
"Alright. I'll arrange for the team to stay in a hotel during these two days."
"I'm off to class now. Remember to lock the door when you leave!" Carlisle reminded Francis before leaving the apartment.
When Carlisle entered his classroom, all his classmates stared at him in astonishment and disbelief.
"Carl, where did you get your haircut?"
"Seriously, Carl? You already had a dashing face, and now this haircut makes it even more stunning. Are you trying to win all the ladies' hearts? Save some for the rest of us, will you?"
"Oh, Carlisle! You're the man of my dreams!"
The whole class buzzed with lively conversation.
Carlisle's outstanding performance at the bonfire party had already made him a heartthrob among the female students at his school. With his new hairstyle elevating his charm even further, the girls in his class were swooning.
With his talent and captivating appearance, he would surely become a top star if he ever ventured into the entertainment industry.
Carlisle returned to his seat, his expression remaining cold and impassive, devoid of his usual amiability.
Noticing his unusual demeanor, the class began to gossip among themselves.
"Wanda didn't come to school with Carlisle today. Did they have a fight?"
"Beats me. Let's ask Phoebe!"
Amid their speculation, Phoebe eventually disclosed Wanda's temporary withdrawal from school to several classmates. The news quickly spread throughout the class.
Ruby, who was in the process of packing up her books to return to Class 1, paused when she heard the news.
She suspected that Wanda was taking a break from her studies to be treated. She wondered if this was her opportunity to approach Carlisle.
When Ruby saw Carlisle enter the classroom earlier, her heart had fluttered uncontrollably, making her reluctant to return to Class 1.
She thought that she should perhaps continue staying in Class 2 so she could admire Carlisle's dashing appearance.
Ruby poked Carlisle's back and whispered, "Carlisle, did Wanda leave for treatment? How long will she be away?"NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
