She is one of the most known acting instructors, uncountable actors have had their success after she took them under her wing.
When Jenny saw her, she thought she was dreaming.
“You must be Jenny Andrews?”
“Yeah, that’s me!”
The instructor looked her from head to toe without any expression on her face, “Being my student means that you need to obey my rules. It doesn’t matter who sent you here, if you don’t do so, I won’t show any mercy.”
Jenny nodded her head heavily, “Yes, Madam, I will.”
“Let’s go in then, I have another class in the afternoon. We should start now. When you are done show me your homework in the evening.”
“Okay.”
The instructor led her towards the teaching building. The campus was filled with eager students and the feeling of studying, Jenny felt like she was back in her own school days. The students were either walking in groups and chatting, or they were alone with their books, like they were reviewing what they just learned in class. This reminded Jenny of her own days in school, it gave her a happy feeling, it wiped out her other thoughts, the only thing she needs to do here is to focus on her studies, and when she goes home she will have a meal with her mother, review some coursework and go to sleep.
If she could only stop the time.
…
Alice was in the room putting on her make-up, and changing into her cocktail dress. Even though she was already 50 years old, she had a wonderfully elegant look with her yet so young figure.
But her personality was very stubborn, like a power-woman. That’s the reason why she had a breakdown when she found out that her husband was cheating on her.
“Mom!” Torah saw her mother come down the stairs and took her to the side. “Come with me, and don’t let Dad hear us.”
Mrs. Andrews nodded her head and followed her daughter to a corner downstairs.
“I have thought about this. If Jenny still isn’t pregnant, why don’t we just get rid of her? Looking at her every single day makes me so sick!”
“You know I would love to, do you think I want to see her everyday?” Just mentioning Jenny’s name made her so mad, she wished she could kick her out immediately. “But… you know the Andrews family has always been known for it’s warm heart. If the media gets wind of this, that your Dad has a bastard child outside, and that we even kicked her out, our good image will be ruined!”
Torah blinked her eyes thoughtfully. “But Mom, what if Jenny wasn’t quiet in our home? Then it would only be natural to get rid of her right?”
“What do you mean?” Alice looked at her daughter.
“I mean… if the media would get wind of Jenny trying to seduce her brother in-law, and we caught her, but to keep her name clean all we would do was to kick her out instead of a big lawsuit. Wouldn’t that be a perfect excuse to kick her out then?”
Alice’s eyes widened, she took her daughters hands. “You are such a smart kid! You are right! We will just blame it all on her! This would give us the perfect opportunity to get her out!”
“Yeah,” Torah nodded her head. “But now is not the time yet! You know, Harold needs a child. The thing that happened with Brad took my chanced to get pregnant. If I could only give Harold a child, that would secure my position in the Quarrington house! If Jenny could give me this child, let’s be a bit merciful with her and send her oversea, so that she can never come back again. It not… then let’s kick her out of our family.”
Alice nodded, “Alright, let’s go according to your plan.”
“About the other things, Mom, please don’t worry about them. You know I will get everything done clean and neatly. I know that ever since Jenny came to our family, you haven’t had a good night sleep, and this is all to blame on Dad. But I can’t say anything to him, especially since you have already forgiven him. What can I say now.” Torah hugged her mother tight, “But I will be with you forever, and never ever leave you. Whatever you do, I will be there for you.”
Alice sighted, when she thought of her husband, she felt really helpless. “The worst decision I have made my entire life was to marry your Dad. The best thing that happened to me was to get you! You really are so thoughtful!”
“Of course I am! If Dad doesn’t know how to treat you right, there needs to be at least someone to do so.” Torah’s eyes lit up, “When we are done using Jenny, I am going to let her vanish as far as possible, you will never need to lay eyes on her again.”
“Yeah, I have faith in you!”
Except for believing her daughter, she can’t do much more since she has hit her age now.
Torah gave her mother a smile, just when she was about to leave, Alice suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“So… what about Brad? Are you still in contact with him?”
Torah abruptly shook her head, “No! We haven’t had any contact for a really long time. She had ruined my chances of becoming a mother, I never want to have anything to do with him!”
“Good, that’s good. You were so young, and he just played you. This kind of thing should never happen again, okay?”
“Yeah…” Torah nodded, “Mom, can we please not mention Brad again?” She feels so angry when she only hears his name. If it wasn’t him, she would never gotten to the point where she has to ask Jenny to sleep with her fiance. But who else should she blame but herself, so now all she can do is use Jenny to get what she wants.
…
Because Jenny’s foundations were good, and she had really good memory, her first class went very smoothly. Even her instructor praised her.
“Very good! I haven’t met a student like you in years!”
“Thank you Mrs. Walker. As long as you are willing to teach me, I am willing to do anything!” Only when she saw her instructor smile, she was more calm. Jenny was afraid that she might be too stupid and would anger Mrs. Walker.
“I actually thought you would be one of those spoilt princesses, but I never thought you really put your energy into this. I suddenly have a lot of faith in your studies,” Mrs. Walker stood up and put her books together, “We are done for today, your homework is to review our course content today, nothing more. Tomorrow I will call you and tell you what time class will be.”
“Okay.” Jenny got up and bowed to her teacher. “Thank you, Mrs. Walker.”
Mrs. Walker watched Jenny happily walk out, and smiled.
Her phone rang right on time. “Yes, sir?”
“She has finished class?”
“Yeah,” Mrs. Walker looked at the door, where Jenny just exited a while ago, “She is a wonderful student, I think she’s really good.”
“I will transfer the course compensation to you, do teach her well.” The manly voice said, “Don’t forget not to mention anything about me.”
Mrs. Walker nodded her head, “Don’t worry, I know.”
After she hung up the phone, she immediately got a message about the successfully transferred money. It’s her first time taking a private teaching job like this. Jenny seemed to be a humble student, not at all like those spoilt princesses. She completely turned around her perspective of rich people. But, is she wasn’t the daughter of a rich family, why would a man spend such a huge amount of money to hire her as her teacher?
