Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Silence!

The room was so quiet that time seemed to have stopped.

Hugo, Jennie, and Amber, all three of them, wide-eyed, watched Tina in disbelief.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Their minds were like crashed computers, utterly unresponsive.

“Tina, did you say you’re going to teach at Ensford High School?” Amber was the first to regain her composure, disbelief still etched on her face.

Was she hallucinating or dreaming?

Tina said she was going to teach at Ensford High School?

Was there something wrong with her brain?

How could she, a person who had never been to school, teach, and at the prestigious Ensford High School at that?

Did she think the school was run by her family?

Leaning back in her chair, Tina nodded seriously, “You heard right.”

Amber, “…”

Your face is so thick!

How can you say that?

Tina: I said it with my mouth.

Hugo and Jennie, on the side, were completely stunned, not hearing a word of Tina and Amber’s conversation.

All they could think about was whether Tina had lost her mind.

What nonsense was this?

Amber, choked by Tina’s words, stood up, her tone mocking, “Fine, then I’ll see how you’re going to teach at Ensford High School. I’ll be waiting for you at the school.”

A country bumpkin dares to speak so arrogantly!

She was waiting for Tina to be embarrassed!

The corners of Tina’s lips lifted, “No need to wait. I won’t be teaching you.”

Amber wanted to learn, but she didn’t want to teach!

Amber sneered and left, not even maintaining superficial courtesies with Hugo and the others, her face cold as she went.

Once she left, Hugo and Jennie came back to their senses.

Looking at Tina for a long time, Jennie spoke first, “Tina, don’t take Amber’s words to heart. If you want to go to school, we’ll help you find a more ordinary one. There’s no pressure to study, and after high school, we can support you to go to medical school.”

She intuitively thought that Tina had said that just to irritate Amber.

Hugo also said, “Right, don’t worry about school. But don’t make such jokes in the future. You know what kind of person your grandmother is. If she finds out, she will make things difficult for us. From now on, we’ll just keep to ourselves and not give others a chance to laugh at us.”

Tina looked up, her face serious, “Mr. Reed, Mrs. Reed, I wasn’t joking. The principal of Ensford High School hired me to be the Lead Teacher of Class 22D, with a monthly salary of fifty thousand dollars!”

After she posted that job-seeking post that day, the principal of Ensford High School invited her over. She didn’t respond, indicating she wasn’t interested.

The principal, persistent, sent her more messages, explained the situation of Class 22D, and offered a monthly salary of fifty thousand dollars, begging her many times. She seriously replied each time, no!

But now…

Someone was deliberately provoking her!

She reluctantly accepted.

Seeing her serious demeanor, Hugo and Jennie exchanged glances, then silently stood up, “The food is getting cold, let’s eat.”

Tina, “…”

Was this- disbelief?

She wasn’t boasting!

Why didn’t they believe her?

Did she have a face that wasn’t trustworthy?

Thinking so, Tina walked over to the mirror, looked seriously at her beautiful face, touched her fair skin with her fingers, and muttered in confusion, “I look quite pretty! Why don’t they believe me?”

She sighed and silently went to the dining table to eat.

After dinner, Tina returned to her room and sent a message to the principal of Ensford High School, agreeing to teach the class.

The principal was ecstatic, sending no less than twenty messages expressing his warm welcome.

Tina thought to herself, people in Ensford are quite enthusiastic overall.

The next day.

Just after seven o’clock, Tina was startled awake by two sharp cries.

“Ah!”

“Ah!”

Such piercing voices!

Such loud voices!

The entire room trembled!

Tina, ear still buzzing, opened the door and walked out, “What happened?”

In the living room, Hugo and Jennie were gripping the phone, staring at the screen with dumbfounded expressions.

It took a while for Hugo to say to Jennie, “Slap me twice to see if I’m dreaming!”

“Slap!”

Jennie did not hesitate to slap his face with force!

Tina, “…”

Was this for real??

“It hurts! It’s really painful!” Hugo was filled with feverish excitement.

“It hurts! My hand hurts too!” Jennie looked at her slightly swollen hand; she had really used a lot of strength, confirming it wasn’t a dream.

Hugo caught sight of Tina and hurried over, “Tina, slap me twice.”

Tina, “… Mr. Reed, that would be most disrespectful.”

“It’s okay, it’s just us here, no one else will know.” Hugo leaned his face in, “Quick, slap me twice. I need to make sure I’m not dreaming!”

Tina’s mouth twitched, and she seriously said, “It’s seven in the morning, you’re at Pinkwater Ally, the sun rises in the east, the water cup is still steaming, you-are not dreaming!”

“Really not dreaming?” Hugo still couldn’t believe it.

“Really not,” Tina said with a touch of helplessness, “So can you tell me what happened?”

Hugo, assured by Tina’s positive and certain reply, finally accepted one thing: he was not dreaming.

He happily showed Tina the phone, opening the call log, “Look at this, what is it?”

Tina glanced at the first number on the call log and understood!

That number belonged to Jimmy!

She hadn’t expected Jimmy to call Hugo so early, and to do so personally.

No wonder Hugo doubted he was dreaming!

For others, being personally called by the chairman of Mendara would surely feel like a dream.

“I was hired by Mendara,” Hugo explained upon seeing Tina silent, “It was Mendara Group’s chairman James Heart who personally called me.”

Hugo’s face beamed with joy, “My god! That’s Mendara Group. I can hardly believe that I can work there, as a project manager no less, and the most important thing is, an annual salary of a million dollars, not including bonuses!”

Tina smiled, “Congratulations, Mr. Reed.”

Hugo had been a project manager in the family business before, and Jimmy was quite considerate to offer him this position.

But an annual salary of a million…

Jimmy must have offered this salary on her account.

Jennie also recovered from her shock, “That’s wonderful, you don’t have to work out of town, and Tina’s dowry is settled.”

Hugo and Jennie were ecstatic for a long while until Hugo suddenly remembered, “Oh no, Mr. Heart asked me to report to the company by eight o’clock. I can’t be late. I’ll skip breakfast; you eat. I have to go.”

With that, he dashed off like the wind.

Tina and Jennie smiled helplessly at each other.

After breakfast, Jennie started cleaning the house while Tina left for Ensford High School.

Considering how Hugo and Jennie didn’t quite believe her yesterday, she decided not to tell Jennie where she was going.
