Eve Arrives at School

Leila met Todd's gaze unwaveringly. Her palms were sweaty with unease, but she persisted and raised her chin lightly.

"Why should I be the one to apologize to your daughter? Wasn't she the one who started all this? Why can't she apologize to me?"

"You want my daughter to apologize to you?" Todd scoffed, thinking this was the funniest joke he had heard in years.

Leila didn't ponder on the disdain in his words; instead, she became even bolder and her tone was firmer.

"There isn't anything wrong with me apologizing to your daughter, but..." The office was incredibly silent, with Todd's eyes narrowing.

"Apologize to you?" Jessica's voice cut through the silence, her tone raised, signaling her anger. "B*tch, why don't you ask me to lick your a*s instead."

Leila gave her a slight smile. "I have to reject that as I am very straight."
