Chapter 77 - Coattail-Riding Brats (1/2)

Next Tuesday rolled by way too quickly for anyone's liking. Danny could see that all three of his students were way too distracted and decided to cut his class short. He didn't give them any homework either seeing that the children would probably ignore it in favour of readying themselves for their first day on the job.

Alex was the first to put down her lunchbox at lunch. There was still half of a sandwich left but the Wilde princess was one eating. Anyone could tell that she was too nervous to eat anything. Scarlet wasn't faring much better on the inside but she forced herself to not waste any food. Tina had packed their lunches this morning with a little note of encouragement for all three of them.

Jasper was the only one with unaffected appetite. The growing boy eyed Alex's unfinished sandwich and swooped in like a pigeon waiting for scraps when Alex claimed that she was done. Neither of the girls could understand how Jasper remained so nonchalant. They were about to go into the workforce against a.d.u.l.ts. Anything could happen to them, why was Jasper so calm?

”Relax,” Jasper kicked his legs back with a lazy smile. The girls were way too tense and clearly overthinking. In fact, Jasper had complete faith that Wilmer had their backs even if something went wrong. He wouldn't tell them to stay proud as coattail-riding brats if he didn't already have precautions and contingency plans for them. However, the aspiring entrepreneur just wasn't able to find out Wilmer's motive due to the lack of experience and information.

The work clothing that Claire prepared was tailor-made for them. Jenna commented that it was adorable because it resembled school uniforms but better. The company logo was printed on the sleeves and while the clothing was easy enough to move in, suitable for office boys and girls, it didn't give off a very cheap feeling. Alex liked it a lot because the long sleeve prevented her from feeling cold. Still, she brought a cardigan just in case.

All three children had long sleeves with the company logo embroidered near the shoulder on the right side. Jasper had dressed down slacks while Alex and Scarlet had long skirts. The young writer was thankful for the skirt. Although she would have preferred wearing pants, the cast made it difficult for her to change into them.

The driver was already waiting for them when they left the school gates. With the two girls feeling extremely nervous, they appeared very grim as if they were travelling to their execution ground.

Jasper's phone rang out loud in the car, causing Alex to jump. The gardener's son reached for it and answered quickly when he saw that the caller was none other than Mr Wilde.

”Are all of you sitting in the car now?”

Jasper put the phone on loudspeaker so that the girls can listen and talk too.

”Yes, daddy. We're in the car on our way right now and changed into the intern uniforms.”
