"So you're saying I don't even have a chance to say no?" 74% Finished Basil said earnestly, "I would never force you to do something you don't want to. If you're not willing, then just forget it." He said it casually, but the others were getting anxious.

Charmaine went through everything carefully, and once she confirmed there were no issues, she signed the contract with Paxton on the spot.
Paxton was clearly relieved. He must have been worried she'd back out.
Meanwhile, Basil watched with a pleased smile. He didn't forget to remind everyone, "Oh, and one more thing- my student isn't shy, so let's keep this quiet. No need to draw too much public attention." Everyone agreed without hesitation. "Of course!" Once the meeting wrapped up, the others left on their own, while the old gentlemen remained seated, completely at ease.
Charmaine stood up, leisurely waiting until Micah was the last one to head out.

Chapter 304 Basil's Idea Micah glanced back curiously. "Huh? You're not leaving, Master?" 74% Finished Charmaine rested both hands on the heavy armored door and said calmly, "I have something to take care of.
With that, she pushed the door shut.

"Are you leaving or not?" Micah quickly dropped his curiosity and backed off reluctantly.
Inside the conference room.
Charmaine glanced at the surveillance cameras as they powered down automatically. Crossing her arms, she leaned against the door.

"Traitors! You cowardly, useless traitors!" Kenneth snorted. "If you're so bold, then don't eat." lan chimed in, "You were the one who started this whole thing." Joe nodded along. "That's right, that's right!" Basil was fuming. His unreliable teammates were going to drive him crazy.
Charmaine suppressed a smile as she stepped up to Basil. "You really are such a wonderful teacher."
Basil braced himself and went all out.

He complained bitterly, "It's a student's duty to lighten their m teacher's load, so, I did nothing wrong!"
As he spoke, he started grumbling, "Speople have been saying m you're all reputation and no skill. That really got on my nerves! Do they think I don't know how capable my own student is?
