Her Cancellation of the Engagement

Chapter 46 Give Me a Slap

Chapter 46 Give Me a Slap

It was silent in the room!

It felt as if time itself was frozen.

Sherman, Laney, and Alisa stared wide-eyed at Gianna.

They were unable to process what they had heard.

"Gianna, did you just say that you want to become a teacher in Ranson High School?" Alisa was the first to break the silence, though she still had an astonished expression on her face.

Did she hear it wrong? Or was she in a dream?

Gianna said she would become a teacher in Ranson High School?

Was she crazy?

She, a person who had never even attended school, now aspired to become a teacher in an exclusive school like Ranson High School?

Did she think the school was owned by her family?

Gianna, leaning back in her chair, nodded and said seriously, "You heard me correctly."

Alisa was speechless.

Who did she think she was?

How dare she say these words?

If Gianna could read Alisa's mind, she would reply, "I said it and I mean it."

Sherman and Laney were so dumbfounded that they couldn’t focus on the conversation between Gianna and Alisa.

There was only one thought in their mind. Was something wrong with Gianna?

Why was she talking nonsense?

Alisa, infuriated by Gianna's words, couldn't hold back her anger and stood up. She scoffed, "Alright then, I'll see how you manage to become a teacher in Ranson High School. I'll be waiting for you there."

How could a country girl like her speak so arrogantly?

She would wait to see Gianna being humiliated!

Gianna smiled and retorted, "You don't need to wait for me. I won't be teaching you."

Even if Alisa wanted to learn, she had no intention of teaching her!

Alisa sneered and turned around. She left directly with a grim face, without even pretending to be polite toward Sherman and Laney.

After Alisa left, Sherman and Laney gradually understood what was going on.

They stared at Gianna for a while, and it was Laney who spoke to her first, "Gia, don't listen to what Alisa said. If you want to pursue your education, we can help you find a more ordinary school where you won't feel pressured. Once you finish high school, we can support your to attend medical school."

Deep down, Laney felt that what Gianna said earlier was just meant to provoke Alisa.

Sherman also said, "That's right. You don't need to worry about going to school. But don’t make jokes like this in the future. You know what your grandmother is like. If she finds out, she'll surely make trouble for us. Let's just live our lives and not give them the chance to laugh at us."

Gianna looked up at them and said with a serious expression, "Mr. Geller, Mrs. Geller, I wasn't joking. Mr. Galvan of Ranson High School has invited me to be the head teacher of Class 38, Grade 12. They're offering me a monthly salary of 8 thousand dollars!"

After she posted about finding a job on News Feed, Mr. Galvan of Ranson High School reached out to her. She didn't reply, which indicated her lack of interest.

However, Mr. Galvan didn’t give up and sent her a message, informing her of Ranson High School and Class 38 and offering a monthly salary of 8 thousand dollars. They pleaded with her multiple times, and she politely declined the offer.

But now...

Someone was messing with her!

She couldn’t tolerate it anymore.

Sherman and Laney exchanged a glance upon seeing Gianna's serious expression. They just stood up and said, "The food is getting cold. Let's eat first."

Gianna felt frustrated.

How could they not believe her?

She wasn't making it up!

Why didn't they trust her?

Did she look like an untrustworthy person?

Gianna pondered as she approached the mirror. She gazed at her pretty face in the mirror and touched it with her fingers. She murmured in disbelief, "I look like a trustworthy person, don't I? Why won't they believe me?"

With a sigh, she quietly went back to the dining table to have her meal.

After dinner, Gianna went to her room and replied to Mr. Galvan of Ranson High School that she accepted the offer to teach there.

Mr. Galvan was excited and sent her over twenty messages expressing his warm welcome.

Gianna thought that most people in Rheinsville City were quite friendly, except for a few. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

The following day...

Just after seven o'clock, as Gianna opened her eyes, she was startled by two piercing screams.

"What!"

"What the hell!"

Their voices were high-pitched!

And deafening!

The whole room seemed to tremble!

Gianna rubbed her ears, then opened the door and stepped out. She asked, "What's going on?"

In the living room, Sherman and Laney were holding their phones, their eyes fixed on the screens. They were both dumbfounded.

After a moment, Sherman turned to Laney and said, "Am I dreaming? Give me a slap!"

Without hesitation, Laney gave him a slap!

Gianna was shocked.

Were they serious?

"Ouch! It hurts! It's definitely real!" Sherman was thrilled and shouted excitedly.

"That’s right! My hand hurts too!" Laney looked at her slightly swollen hand. She had indeed used quite some force. It proved that this wasn't a dream!

Sherman then noticed Gianna and hurriedly walked up to her, saying, "Gia, give me two slaps."

Gianna said, "Mr. Geller, this is utterly wrong."

"No worries, it's just between us. If you slap me, no one else will know." Sherman leaned in with his face drawing closer and said, "Come on, give me two slaps. I need to be certain that I'm not dreaming!"

Gianna's lips twitched, and she replied in a serious tone, "It's seven in the morning. We're in Fallingwater Community, the sun is rising from the east, and the cup is still steaming. You aren't dreaming!"

"Really? I’m not in a dream?" Sherman still found it hard to believe.

"Absolutely not." Gianna sighed, feeling somewhat helpless, and said, "So, could you please tell me what's going on?"

With Gianna's confirmation and reassurance, Sherman finally accepted one thing for sure. He wasn't dreaming.

With a joyful expression, he handed his phone to Gianna and opened the call log, saying, "Guess what?"

Glancing at the first number in the call log, Gianna instantly understood!

It was Gaven's number!

She hadn't expected Gaven to call Sherman so early in the morning and to make the call by himself.

No wonder Sherman wondered if he was dreaming!

If this had happened to someone else, they probably would have thought it was a dream too!

The chance of receiving a call from the chairman of the Ferne Group was too small.

"I've been accepted by the Ferne Group." Sherman explained as Gianna remained silent, "It was Gaven Ferne, the chairman himself who called me."

Sherman said with a radiant smile on his face, "Oh my goodness! That's the Ferne Group we're talking about! I can't even imagine working there as a project manager. And the best part is, the annual salary is over 200 thousand dollars! And that does not even include the bonuses!"

Gianna smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Geller."

Sherman had previously worked as the project manager at the Geller Group, and Gaven had thoughtfully arranged the same role for him.

But an annual salary of 200 thousand dollars...

Perhaps Gaven had offered such a generous salary for her sake!

Snapping out of astonishment, Laney exclaimed, "That's fantastic! You won't have to work in another city anymore, and we can prepare Gianna's dowry."

Sherman and Laney were filled with excitement for quite some time. Suddenly, Sherman remembered something and said, "Oh no, Mr. Ferne asked me to report to the company at 8 o'clock. I can't be late. I'll skip breakfast. You two go ahead and eat. I’m leaving now."

With these words, he hurriedly left.

Feeling helpless, Gianna and Laney smiled at each other.

After finishing breakfast, Laney tidied up the house while Gianna went outside.

She was heading to Ranson High School.

However, considering that Sherman and Laney seemed skeptical yesterday, she hadn't told Laney where she was going.
