"I'm looking for Teacher Anastasia."
Hearing her voice, all eyes paused, and then some shifted, some were taken aback, and some politely nodded.
A few seconds later, a female teacher stood up and looked over.
She was dressed in a professional style, meticulously groomed, wearing rimless glasses, with sharp eyes and a stern expression, looking shrewd and capable.
"I am Anastasia. May I ask who you are?"
"Nora Scott."
Anastasia's expression softened a bit, managing a slight smile amid her impersonal indifference, "So, you're the parent of Oliver Scott—"
With a cold twitch of her lips, Nora interrupted before she could finish, "I am Marcus Shaw's half-sister from the same mother."
"..."
Anastasia was momentarily speechless.
The polite words left unspoken were swallowed after a brief pause.
In the office, several teachers were momentarily stunned, then withdrew their "seeing a ghost" expressions and unanimously busied themselves, some fetching water, others preparing lessons.
