After Ken left the Principal's office, he walked back and forth in the hallway while calling his sister. His hand tightened into a fist, frustrated by the Principal's decision.
He had seen him before and he didn't like the look he was giving to Novie, and seeing him earlier, smiling and reminding his girlfriend with a trip he doesn't even know, made him want to kill him.
Thinking of that, he hangs up and phone and went to Novie's class.
He knocked at the closed door, seconds later, Novie opened it.
Novie tilted her head with confusion when she saw Ken standing by the door alone.
"What is it Ken?" she asked, to her surprised, Ken grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the classroom.
Her face contorted in confusion, Ken was gripping her wrist so tight and she could feel the pain.
She pulled her hand from his grip and looked at him with anger, she doesn't know why he's suddenly acting like this but she didn't like the way he was treating her.
"What's wrong Ken? you're hurting me" she complained, her expression closed up with anger while a vein popped out in her neck.
"Quit this job Novie" Ken spoke in a cold tone.
Novie's face went blank, she was not expecting him to say that and she could not think of a reason for him to ask it.
"Ken, I don't understand, you know I love this job" she replied.
Ken scrunched up his face in frustration, "I know, maybe you can transfer to Daniella's school. I can help you, just not here please" Novie saw how he gritted his teeth, she's still confused why Ken looked so angry.
"I don't want Ken. Tell me where is this coming from?" Novie touches his arm to calm him down, there's no reason to get frustrated by how he was acting.
"I just don't like the way that damn Principal was looking at you," Ken spoke in a soft tone, seems like Novie's touch was able to calm him down.
Novie blows a sigh, seems like the Principal went under his skin.
"Don't worry Ken, you're my boyfriend and I don't like him even a bit, Anyway I need to go back I was gone for almost an hour--" She pursed her lips in shock. She knows to herself that she should not be guilty but since Ken was jealous to the Principal, she's afraid that he might misunderstand the situation.
"Why? Where were you?" Ken asked, a line appeared between his brows while waiting for her response.
A muscle in her jaw twitched, she hesitated whether to tell him but she knows better that there's no reason to lie because nothing was going on between her and the Principal.
"The Principal called me in his office to give me some papers" Novie nibbled on her bottom lips while watching Ken' s face twisted with anger.
Novie could feel the wind getting colder, making her skin shiver.
She gulped repeatedly and called out his name.
"And you stay there for an hour?" Ken spoke.
Novie faked a smile to ease the tension, "Yes, but you---..."
"Quit Novie, please. I am sure Daniella will accept you if, she doesn't, I will build a school where you can teach" Ken put his hands on her shoulder and looked at her, his eyes were begging for her to accept his proposal.
Novie shut her eyes, Daniella's school only accept the teachers with a high IQ to teach the kids and she doesn't have enough knowledge or confidence to be a teacher in a prestigious academy.
"Ken please, you need to trust me" she gazed at him and saw the disappointment on his face.
"I trust you but I don't trust that man so please just quit, please" Novie exhaled, Ken has been pushing so much and its started to irritate her.
"Ken, you always respects my decision, so let me stay here" Novie removed Ken's hand from her shoulder and frown at him.
"Where are the triplets?" She asked to change the subject.
"They are at the principal's office" Ken replied and turned his back.
When Ken walks out, Novie followed him.
"Ken, you understand me right?" she tried to catch up with him but the man was walking too fast.
"No Novie, I don't. If you'll ask me to quit my job, I will quit without thinking because you're more important than anything else" Ken replied while walking towards the Principal's office.
"Ken, are you asking me to choose between you and my job?" She spoke in disbelief, never once, Ken asked her to choose, he always let her decides by herself and he always supports whatever decision she made.
Ken suddenly stop, and since she was not expecting it, her body hit his back.
"What if I am? Will you choose me?" Ken asked without looking at her.
Novie was speechless, she loves her job but Ken is more important. She went silent, not because she doesn't know the answer but her lips don't want to open.
"I guess I got my answer" Ken spoke eventually and started walking again.
Novie gnashed her teeth, she's angry and she doesn't know why. Ken was never like this before, he never gave her a cold shoulder but right now, the way she's watching him walking away, she felt a strange pain she could not explain. It was as if he's never coming back.
She followed him, when they reached the room, they saw Alexa walking back and forth while biting her fingernail.
Ken stopped in front of Alexa, his mouth twisted with confusion.
"Lexi, why are you out here? Where are your siblings?" Ken asked in suspicious.
Alexa chewed on her bottom lips, while her eyes swayed around.
"Ethan..." she spoke in a low voice. Ken's eyes widened in terror, he squatted on the floor.
"What happened to Ethan?" he asked.
"Well, the ah… injection and Leo and the principal..." Alexa stuttered the color drained out of her face, and that gave Ken's goosebumps.
"Lexi tell me what happened?" Ken asked and carried Alexa in his arm, he was about to open the door when Alexa stopped him.
"Leo injected a tranquilizer to the Principal… I am sorry, uncle, we just want to be in Aunt Novie's class so we can watch her" Alexa lowered her face and pouted, her eyes flooded with tears.
Meanwhile, Novie was shocked, she wasn't expecting for the triplets to do such a thing to get in her class.
"You hurt the Principal just because he didn't allow you to be in my class?" Novie spoke in disbelief.
The little girl nodded.
"I can't believe this!!!" Novie entered the room and saw the Principal on the ground with a pillow on his face while Leo was standing on the swivel chair and busy filling up the form. She turned to her right and saw Ethan switching his eyes between the two syringes in his hand.
