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. "Let me give 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 come back 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. I know what to do now." Joanne stayed in the washroom for a long time because 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 time for the parent-teacher meeting, Joanne braced herself and got up. She splashed some water on her face and patted her cheeks, trying to look energetic for the parents. She had escaped hell and suffered so much back then, and at one point, she felt like she had nothing to live for. However, Joanne sincerely loved her students. She realized she had a soft spot for children, especially babies and toddlers. Stefan knew her character and had pulled some strings to get her a job at Lone Pine Elementary.

At first, she was reluctant to accept the offer. Her colleagues were right-she had no academic qualifications or experience, and she had a lot of trauma. She felt she wasn't fit to teach others, but Stefan encouraged her to try it out. He told her if she didn't like the job, she could resign. Finally, Joanne gathered the courage to try teaching the Cienna language. Although her academic qualifications were not great, she had always gotten good grades, 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 time with 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, I 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 no idea what trouble was awaiting her...
