I MARRIED MY BOSS
continuation
The following Saturday at the academy, I had no idea that my status had changed.
Everyone greeted me as if I were the boss. I tried to relate with everyone the way I always had, but they were all suddenly so careful around me.
However, there was one particular lady named Grace. She was one of the tutors at the academy, and she seemed to resent me.
Throughout that day, she was cold and unfriendly toward me. Even when I asked her questions about the practicals we had been assigned, she would simply refer me to other students instead of helping me.
This attitude continued for weeks, and it was becoming unbearable. Eventually, I had to tell Leo about it.
Leo promised to speak to the manager on my behalf.
But I still wasn't satisfied with the situation. I began to wonder if there was something going on between Leo and Grace, so I asked him directly if he had ever had anything to do with her.
He told me no.
So, I decided to let the matter rest.
The following Saturday, Grace tried to behave better, although I could tell she was struggling to hide her feelings. I also decided to keep my distance from her because I didn't understand the reason behind her behavior.
During our break, one of the students came over and sat beside me. Her name was Chioma.
I was surprised that she approached me because she had never spoken to me before.
"Can I sit with you?" she asked.
"Of course," I replied.
"How can I help you?" I asked, wondering why she had come to me.
She looked around before speaking.
"I have something important to tell you," she said.
I became curious.
She then told me that Grace was her friend and that Grace had always admired Leo from a distance.
According to Chioma, Grace had put in a lot of effort to help build the academy into what it was today. She had always hoped that, one day, Leo would notice her and perhaps fall in love with her.
But Grace was heartbroken when she discovered that Leo was now dating one of the students.
Me.
I was shocked.
I had no idea that any of this had been going on behind the scenes.
Suddenly, everything became clear.
Now I understood why Grace had been treating me so badly.
After that conversation, I decided to avoid Grace as much as possible. I didn't want any trouble or unnecessary drama.
Besides, I had only five weeks left before my graduation.
I just wanted to finish my training peacefully and move on with my life.
