"Why's she backing out now?"
"She's not. I think she's dead set on this…"
Those whispers fell in Jenny's ears.
Seeing Ella's provocative smile, Jenny exhaled sharply. "Fine."
Ella smiled, "So that's a yes to my bet, Professor?"
Jenny nodded with a smile, "It's improper to stall the other students here. As long as you comply with the procedures, I will agree to the bet. If you top in all the papers, I will resign from my post."
Jenny scoffed inwardly. No way that girl could top anything, let alone every paper. If she really was that capable, she would not have failed her surprise test.
But in front of the eyes of the students, Jenny's actions and words were like that of an elder dealing with a fussy child and coaxing the child to be obedient.
She was not even taking her seriously. Why would she corner her on purpose?
One of the female staff members gestured. "Come with us."
Ella followed without protest to the empty classroom nearby.
