Chapter 88 - 88: Contradictory Person

Right then, it was seven-thirty and five seconds.

She pleaded, "Kevin hurt his hand, Director. And there was a traffic jam. And we are just late for five seconds…"

Director Bull didn't listen to her at all, "Late is late, even one minute's delay is counted."

He looked down at the name tags around the necks of Sophia and Kevin, "Two points will be deducted from Class Seventeen!"

Sophia didn't say anything more.

Unwilling to accept the fact, but they were really late for five seconds. Sophia could not refute that. She sighed and went to the school gate with Kevin.

"By the way," Director Bull said behind her, "the first round of the Mathematical Olympiad Test is on Friday. Come to my office to get your admission ticket on Thursday. Come on! Come on!"

Sophia said nothing.

She thought he was a very… contradictory person.

Sophia quite cared about the deducted points and had been in a bad mood. She had not compensated the points that were deducted last time, and then more points were deducted again. It was such a shame.

And she couldn't find a chance to score because there was no exam recently. The only one she could score was the Mathematical Olympiad Test. But the first round of the exam was on Friday. And after two rounds of exams, it would be at least half a month later.

It was really worrisome.

When Sophia passed by the class scoreboard at noon, she felt even more upset when she saw that the score of Class Seventeen this week was the last place.

Delgado worried about her, "Are you sad, Sophia?"

Sophia shook her head and said, "No. I'm VERY happy!"

Delgado really couldn't tell that.

When she came to school the next day, Delgado brought her a large box of handmade cookies and said, "Cookies will cheer you up!"

He also took out a small box, "Here is some little jerky for Ever! Last time, you said he loved it."

Sophia looked at the little jerky and was in a more complicated mood.

Delgado didn't know that she had already sent Mitch back to Watson, so he made the little jerky for Mitch. Seeing that, Sophia began to miss Mitch again.

She took the little jerky and called Mitch Watson after school.

"My friend gave me some little meat jerky that Mitch likes to eat. I want to send it to him. When are you at home? Can I pay for a visit?" Asked Sophia.

Watson laughed, "Yeah. Welcome! I'll be at home after five o 'clock in the afternoon. You can come at any time. I'll send you the address. Mitch must miss you, too."

Sophia hung up and stuffed the little jerky into her school bag.

The address sent by Watson was not far from the school. She planned to go to Watson's to feed Mitch after school before going home. Afraid that Kate would worry about her, she called and told her the issue.

Kate still worried about her, "You go to his home alone? Is that safe?"

"Yeah. He is a kind and trustworthy man. Don't worry!"

Kate was still worried. Sophia just sent Watson's Wikipedia background files to her. He was a world champion with status, which finally assured Kate.

She asked Sophia to call her when she got there and then agreed to her to go.

If it was someone else, Sophia wouldn't visit their house at will. But it was Mitch Watson, and she thought she knew about him.

He was so kind to stray dogs. She didn't think a man like that would be a bad person. Besides, even if Watson was a bad man, she didn't think he wouldn't hurt her.

After school, Sophia rode her bike and got to the apartment Watson was renting according to the address provided by him.

That was an upscale neighborhood. It covered a large area with a beautiful environment. And the building design was also very beautiful. Sophia stopped her bike at the gate of the community and was about to enter when she heard someone calling her from behind.

"Sophia Green!"

She looked back and saw a car parked by the side of the road. The window was rolled down, Albert poked his head out of the window, "It's really you."

Sophia didn't expect to meet Pearson there. She parked her bike and came over, "What are you doing here, Mr. Pearson? Do you live here, too?"

The neighborhood was very upscale, and the price of the apartment there must be very high. She doubted that Pearson could afford to live there.

Albert turned to look at the community and then shook his head, "No. I just passed by. Seeing you here, I came over to say hello. Do you live here?"

"I don't live here. I just come to visit a friend." Said Sophia.

"What, friend? It's getting late…"

"A… foreign friend. Actually, I… come to see his dog."

Albert frowned, "You, a little girl, come here alone to meet a foreigner? Have you been here before? Do you know each other well? Aren't you afraid of getting into danger?"

It was the second time that Sophia has been warned of the danger of meeting Watson. If Watson found out that, she didn't know what it would look like on his face.

"This is my first visit, but I believe him." Sophia smiled, "Excuse me, Mr. Pearson. I have to go in now."

"No, wait!" Pearson suddenly opened the door of the car, "I'll go with you. You, little girls, are so gullible. If this foreigner is really a bad person, how can you come back?"

Sophia was surprised and was about to refuse his kindness. Pearson had already got out of the car and turned to the man in the car, "Wait here, Mr. Sampson!"

Ryan looked out of the car with a smiley face, "Yeah. You chat slowly, Mr. Pearson. I'm not in a hurry! There is no hurry at all!"

Albert ignored him and strode forward with his long legs without waiting for Sophia.
