Chapter 813 - Signature (1)

Emily looked at the girls on the podium. They cleaned the blackboard, tidied up the podium, and tossed the trash. When they came back, they arranged the broom and other cleaning tools neatly. The class was about to begin, there were still people playing games and chatting in the back of the classroom. Jenny frowned and said, "Be quiet."

At first, the others didn't think much of it. After many times, they all looked at Jenny curiously. They couldn't figure out why Jenny suddenly changed. Not only did Jenny take the initiative to clean up, but she also supervised others to prevent them from chatting and playing games in class.

Jenny thought about it for the whole night and felt that what Emily needed her to do was probably to maintain a quiet environment for Emily's study. No wonder why Jenny thought like this. After all, everybody in this class believed that only a few people in the front row came to class, and the others came to entertain.

Jenny had done everything she could, and only then did she ask Emily on the way to the bathroom, "How about what I did?"

Although it was a bit different from what Emily had expected, Emily still nodded, "Not bad."

"Then when are you going to pay?" Jenny asked.

"I'll pay you monthly," Emily looked at her watch, "From today onwards, come find me on this day next month."

At first, Jenny didn't believe that Emily could pay, but Emily spoke very seriously. Emily didn't seem like she was playing tricks. Emily paid as paying a salary. It made Jenny feel that Emily was very ... reliable.

"Why are you..." Before Emily turned to leave, Jenny could not help but ask, "Pay me?"

Emily turned around. "We paid equally. It's like you're working for me. It's your salary."

Jenny was stunned.

Jenny had only received malice from the outside world before and did not know what kindness was. When Jenny heard Emily, she felt a sour impulse in her heart. She hid in the cubicle and looked at the tears on her fingertips. She thought in astonishment, 'This is ... my tears?'

Emily bought some congratulatory cards during the class break. Marisa placed an apple on Emily's table. The bright red apple was more exquisite than the others', sure it wasn't cheap.

Emily thanked Marisa.

Marisa did not come to the front row often. Every time she went to her seat, she would go through the back door. This was the first time Marisa came to the front row to send Emily an apple. Emily's desk-mate Violet Goodlove was not there. Marisa dragged a chair and sat down. She looked at the card on Emily's table and asked, "Is there one for me?"

Emily nodded. Emily wrote down Marisa's name and 'Merry Christmas'. Before handing it over, Emily looked at Marisa and said, "Wait a few minutes."

Emily took out a pen and drew a small character that was slightly similar to Marisa.

It was just a few strokes, but it was vivid and lifelike.

Marisa sat on the side and watched Emily draw with a few strokes. Marisa immediately raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You are gifted. You never show off in art classes?"

Emily smiled and did not speak. After the drawing was finished, she gently blew on the card and handed it to Marisa, "Merry Christmas."

Marisa didn't dare to close it immediately. She held the small card and her eyes lit up with joy, "I've received a lot of cards. This one makes me the happiest. Thank you," Marisa got up and waved at Emily.

"Why is she here?" Tatiana came back from outside and saw Marisa's back.

"Give me the apple." Emily pointed at the apple on the table.

"This apple looks very expensive!" Tatiana exclaimed, "That's what rich people do," Tatiana thought for a while and asked, "But Christmas Eve was over, why did she send them today?"

Emily was writing the cards. When she heard this, she remembered the first sentence that Marisa had said, "I didn't have the habit of giving people apples in the past. Seeing that others had sent you one, I came to join in the fun. I didn't wrap it, it's just an apple. I wish you a peaceful life."

"You have a friend with the same name as Stephanie?" Tatiana stared at the card Emily was writing in astonishment.

Emily was speechless.

'How should I tell Tatiana that my friend was Stephanie?' Emily thought.

"But there are indeed many people with the same name and surname," Tatiana sighed again, "Lucky for her to have the same name as the goddess."

Emily was speechless again.

"You bought so many cards? Is there any for me?" Tatiana's eyes sparkled.

Emily took out a card that she had written a minute ago and stuffed it over, "Merry Christmas."

"Thank you!" Tatiana was extremely happy, "No one gave me a card! Emily, I love you!" When she saw Emily draw a small anime character wearing glasses on the card, Tatiana couldn't help but laugh, "Is this me? Do I look like this? So cute."

When Violet came back, she saw that Emily was writing a card, she didn't put it in mind. Emily was very popular now. Many people in the class sent her apples and cards, so it was normal for her to send the card.

Violet lowered her head and was reading a comic book. Suddenly, a card was placed on her table.

Violet looked at the card with wide eyes. After a long time, she turned to look at Emily. "This is ... for me?"

Emily nodded. "Yes, it's for you.. Merry Christmas," Emily said.
