Chapter 24 I Am King Here! “Stupid security guards?” Colin stared hard at him, “Deputy principal Cooper, do you know how much our company paid to rehire these security guards? Do you know how much their salaries cost us?” Owen shook his head in embarrassment. Colin said coldly, “Who were you saying was trying to start trouble!” “Secretary Ramos!” Owen gradually straightened up. “Little Professors has been the best private kindergarten in the district for years. What if our reputation suffers because of reckless actions from the security guards? How would I explain this to the Principal and to the company?” Colin lowered his voice, “Then how do you think we should handle this?” Hmph! You won’t be able to stand before the reputation of the kindergarten! Just watch! Owen whilst secretly proud of himself, managed to keep his composure.
“Secretary Ramos, all this started because of him!” Colin’s eyes flashed behind his glasses when he saw that Owen was pointing at Jacob. Owen had no idea who he was pointing at. He said solemnly, “This man beat up innocent passersby at the entrance of the kindergarten. He deliberately started a fight with parents. He even colluded with the security guards…” “Enough!” “Shut your mouth!” Two people yelled out simultaneously. Owen was shocked to see the captain of the security team and Secretary Ramos glaring at him. Colin exhaled and waved at Owen, “Deputy Principal Cooper, you are not needed here. Please go inside!” Jackie jumped to his feet in anger. “Mr. Cooper! You are practically king here! You don’t need to listen to this meager secretary!” The students will be out in less than ten minutes. Jacob frowned as he looked at the time. Sensing his boss’ displeasure and impatience, Colin gestured to the captain and said in a deep voice, “Take the deputy principal inside. He is not needed here!” The captain had longed for this moment. Owen had been grating on his nerves for a while now, especially when he dared to point his finger at their leader.
He indicated to his guards, “Two of you, bring Deputy Principal Cooper inside.” Two guards immediately stepped forward. “You dare touch me!” Owen raged. “I am king here! You are nothing but simple security guards!” The two guards did not consider his position. They each took an arm and pushed him into the school. A parent sighed, “What a strange scene this is!” “Tell me about it!” Another replied. “That is the
Deputy Principal. He’s always acting like some hotshot ever since we met!” “I heard that the kindergarten was bought over by a large company. That man, who did not think twice about embarrassing Mr. Cooper, must be someone sent by the company.” A well-informed parent explained. No wonder! Everyone nodded in unison. Jackie watched as Owen was dragged into the building. He realized that something was wrong. He glanced around and slowly started to retreat. Before he had even taken two steps, he felt like he had backed into a wall.
“Where do you think you’re going? Let me lead the way.” The captain smiled widely at him. But his eyes were full of dreaded promises. Jackie turned and saw his expression. He shuddered. When did he appear behind him?!Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
