Chapter 51 - The Forgotten Woman (6)

Gabrielle's POV

After finally wrapping up my work for the day, I trudged toward the parking lot. It was already late into the night, the result of being swamped with paperwork. This was the stuff Professor Sesillian and I had gone over in the Student Council's Office. Master had ordered me to do that since he was busy with something involving Charlotte Sierra.

After that, I had to tackle some paperwork assigned by the Administration to all faculty and staff at the academy. We were expected to handle it right after school hours.

One faculty member had been conspicuously absent during the last hours of our discussion and paperwork.

I sighed as I arrived at the parking lot. There were still plenty of cars, including mine. But someone was there before me. It was a woman I wasn't outright hostile with, unlike that other woman, but there was still some tension between us. We didn't talk much, but we did exchange words occasionally, unlike with that other woman.
