Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

“Good day.”

With that, she turned to face Vicky and her cohort, “come with me.”

After the principal left with the expelled students, the hall erupted into chaos.

The students still found it really hard to believe their eyes and ears.

The ones closest to where Mia was threw glances at her, whispering among themselves.

Everyone knew that the matter today was about her being bullied.

But then, last they checked, Mia was a nobody.

Although her father was well to do, the man was more or less nothing compared to Vicky’s parents.

He didn’t have the resources it took to actually go against them.

So, what was behind Mia?

Better still, who was behind her?

Could it be Max? Or did she find herself an influential sugar daddy?

The bell soon rang, signaling the beginning of classes for the day.

Slowly, the students began to disperse, one after the other, from the hall, into their various classes.

–

In the principal’s office:

As soon as Mrs. Babington stepped in, she was met by a crowded sight.

The school management had already put calls across to the respective parents of the expelled kids, a day before, telling them to visit the school the following day for an important information about their kids.

So right now, the guardians were all gathered in Mrs. Babington’s office-Vicky’s parents included. She handed over the expulsion letters to them.

After sitting in her chair, the principal didn’t waste time and immediately explained the update to each and everyone of them.

Some of them were shocked to the bones, some lashed out at their kids… In fact, some of them hit their kids, some pleaded for their kids to be given one more chance.

But their pleas fell on deaf ears. At the end of the day, there was nothing Mrs. Babington could do for any one of them and she told them so.

Resigning to their fates, each parents began to leave, one by one, with their child.

A while later, only a couple remained seated before the principal. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis. Vicky’s parents.

Vicky also stayed behind. But she stood.

Unlike the other people, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis’ maintained a calm expression on their faces.

Their countenance didn’t flinch a bit and they remained indifferent to the whole situation like it was nothing to be bothered with at all.

After ensuring that he and his wife were only parents left, Minister Lewis cleared his throat and spoke.

“Mrs. Babington, thank you very much. We’ll now be on our way-thank you for always taking care of Vicky on our behalf. We’re grateful.”

He flashed his yellow teeth at the principal and urged his wife to let them take their leave. They were extremely busy people.

As the husband and wife began to rise to their feet, “Minister Lee, as you’re leaving, please take your daughter along with you.” Mrs. Babington muttered.

“She has been expelled, just like the rest.” She added, taking her phone out of the drawer and putting it on the desk.

After hearing these words, Minister and Madam Lewis froze momentarily in motion.

They eyed the principal suspiciously.

All of a sudden, Minister Lewis bursted into a fit of laughter, easing the tense atmosphere. His wife joined in too.

“Not to worry, Mrs. Babington. I’ll wire some money into the school’s account.” The man stressed on ‘school’s’ as he spoke.

“You know, for the growth and betterment of the school.” He winked.

He stood up fully, straightening his back. Then he began to pack his phones that were on the principal’s desk.

“That will not be necessary, Sir.”

Yet again, Mrs. Babington’s words made his actions halt.

Madam Lewis was starting to get pissed off by the principal’s provoking attitude.

What was wrong with her this time?

“What do you mean by it won’t be necessary?” She asked, trying to conceal her anger.

Afterall, the woman was the school principal-she shouldn’t be offended.

Mrs. Babington heaved a sigh and pressed her lips tightly together.

“Madam,” She turned to face Madam Lewis. “Minister,” she then turned to face Minister Lewis too.

She paused, “Vicky has been rusticated from this school. Seriously. There’s nothing you do that can ever change that fact.”

“There’s also nothing I can do as it’s no longer within my power. It’s from the higher-ups. I have absolutely no say.”

“This isn’t the first time your daughter will be bullying one of our students. It can’t continue to go on-the school has had enough.”

“I’m sorry, but this time around, you’ll have to take your leave with her.”

Minister Lewis and his wife were dumbstruck. Vicky was too.

Seemed like the situation was more serious than they thought it was.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

No wonder the principal was being adamant.

Plus, this was indeed the first she’d be making mention of expulsion to them.

Slowly, the couple took their seats again.

Madam Lee eyed Mrs. Babington from the corner of his eyes, and after a while of being in complete silence, he spoke: “Mrs, Babington, we understand. It is you who have been helping us all this while-and we appreciate your all effort.”

“You’re always looking out for our Vicky… Let this tine not be any different. We’re ready to do anything. Whatever it is, just let us know.”

“Just, please, let Vicky return to her class first. Huh?-Classes have started already, she’s missing out.” The woman’s voice was calm as she pleaded.

“Yeah.” Minister Lee nodded, agreeing with his wife.

His wife already said everything that needed to be said.

The couple felt that the reason for the principal being hardheaded was because she wanted more money or something huge that wasn’t money.

Little did they know that they would not be able to have their way this time around.

The tides have turned.

Mrs. Babington was irked. These people were giving her a hell of a problem.

“I’m really sorry, but there’s actually nothing within my power that I can do-respectfully. Like I said before, it’s an order from above. It’s not in my capacity to do anything, or I’ll lose my job. I’m truly sorry, but my hands are tied.” She tried her best to be as polite as possible.

But her adamant attitude only further irritated the couple and they could no longer take the disrespect.

Minister Lewis’ response was a sudden outburst: “Woman! What the hell is wrong with you?! Just do as you’ve been told, or else!”

He hit the desk furiously.

Mrs. Babington simply maintained her original calm countenance.

After a few seconds, she said, “I’m sorry, Sir, but I can’t do as I’ve just been told. Now, you need to leave my office-right away-you and your family.”

“What?!?!” Both husband and wife were enraged.

They couldn’t believe their ears.
