Chapter 1977
Gina looked at the laptop reluctantly. "But saying she has no academic qualifications or experience won't affect
her much."
"Well, maybe you can spice it up a little," Calista suggested slyly. "Letgive you an idea... Do you know why
Joanne always wears long-sleeved shirts and long pants? It's 104 Fahrenheit now, but she still doesn't dare to
show skin."

"I don't know... Is she conservative?"
"Of course not!" Calista peered outside, and when she saw that Joanne hadn't cback yet, she whispered to
Gina, "I'm guessing her body is either really scarred or covered in tattoos. Think about it... No parent would want
someone like that teaching their kids."
"Is that true?" Gina swallowed and took a deep breath. "Thanks for the advice, Ms. Jude. | know what to do now."
Joanne stayed in the washroom for a long tbecause her stomach was cramping. She thought it was because
her period was coming soon, but when she checked her notes, that didn't seem to be the case. After thinking
about it, she figured it was the sickness she got back when she lived alone in the red-light district at Pinebell in
Cyndiago.
Since it was almost tfor the parent-teacher meeting, Joanne braced herself and got up. She splashed some

especially in the Cienna language. She was very talented, and the knowledge she had was more than enough to
teach elementary children. After having a trial class, Joanne's heart was softened by the children's innocence,
kindness, and enthusiasm. She loved spending twith them, so she shamelessly accepted Stefan's offer. She
usually wouldn't bother when her colleagues taunted her because they spoke the truth-she had pulled strings to
get a job there. However, she couldn't stand Gina saying she got the job using her looks because it made Stefan
look bad. Feeling guilty for getting angry, she apologized to Gina when she returned to the office." I'm sorry for
losing my temper earlier, | hope you won't take it to heart. Let's work together to make the third class better."
"Ah..." Gina stared at Joanne, stunned.
"I need to go to the parent-teacher meeting now." Joanne took her laptop and walked to the third class. She had «
