“She acting like this-is it your poor teaching or her lack of discipline at home?” Emily’s tone was aggressive, her words sharp.

Sally felt the sting of the words but kept her voice calm. “It was wrong for her to hit someone. We admit that mistake and will educate her about it. But she didn’t hit without reason. She was trying to help me correct the bad behavior…”

“If you admit she hit someone, that’s enough,” Emily cut her off. “Call her parents. Noah deserves an explanation.”

Sally fell silent.

She didn’t believe Nina was entirely at fault.

Nina had been very good today; she was only trying to help because Sally had asked her to.

So, if blame needed to be taken, Sally intended to take it herself.

While Sally didn’t call Nina’s parents, Emily called Noah’s father, Michael Bennett.

Michael arrived in a suit, his appearance neat and proper.

The moment he showed up, Emily’s voice noticeably shifted to a higher, softer tone.

Hearing the sudden change in her tone and watching Emily’s posture shift as they talked, Sally was stunned and wanted to scream.

Oh, for heaven’s sake. This job is hard enough as it is.

Is she even trying to flirt with a parent? What is wrong with her?

Nina, meanwhile, was studying Michael. He looked a lot like the man in the photo of William’s friend she had seen last night.

William said that a friend had died.

So Nina looked at Michael curiously, confused about whether he was dead or alive.

Michael found it hard to ignore her intense stare.

“Did

you

hit my son?” he asked, his tone not unkind.

He looked at Nina, feeling a growing sense of familiarity.

Nina nodded, her voice showing no guilt. “Nina hit.”

After her reply, both Noah and Emily looked expectantly at Michael.

“Michael, you see? I told you this brat was aggressive. You have to pursue this,” Emily insisted.

Sally could barely stand to listen.

“Excuse me, but are you Noah’s teacher or his mother?” she asked pointedly.

“I am, of course, his teacher! What are you implying? Are you trying to slander me? We’re both teachers, both women. Are you trying to start a smear campaign against me?” Emily

immediately turned defensive, throwing out accusations.

Though Nina didn’t understand the words, she was good at reading the atmosphere.

She could tell Emily wasn’t saying nice things.

Nina clenched her little fist and almost swung it at Emily. “Go ‘way! No bully Sally! My Sally!”

She had a fierce sense of territory. Anyone she considered part of her circle, she protected fiercely.

Even if she didn’t want to go to school or play with Sally at daycare, no one was allowed to bully Sally.

Sally caught Nina’s little fist before it could connect. Her heart swelled with warmth. “Nina, it’s okay. I can handle this.”

Sally suddenly felt brave knowing Nina was protecting her. “Michael, if you want to pursue this, pursue me. Nina was only trying to help because I asked her to.

“I will not call her parents today, and I certainly won’t make them come over for this.

“The exhibition has security cameras everywhere. If you don’t believe my version of events, you can review the footage.”

Michael didn’t really need to see the footage. He knew Noah well enough.

Noah was exactly the kind of kid who would cause damage.

“Forget it,” Michael said suddenly. “Noah isn’t really hurt. Let’s just drop it.”

His decision not to pursue the matter took Emily by surprise. “Michael, how can you…”

“Emily, there’s no need to make a mountain out of a molehill,” Michael interrupted her.
