Michael opened his mouth in disbelief when he just heard what James had to say. His son got into a fight?!
"Then why are you telling me now?!" asked Michael stood up from his seat and took his cellphone which was placed on the table to check it. However, not a single message or call from Sarah.
"Because you were at a conference," James said quietly. "Where do you want to go?" James asked when he saw Michael getting ready to leave.
Michael stopped and turned to James.
"Do you even need to ask me that? Of course I'm going to school!" said Michael, rolling his eyes because James was asking the obvious. "How is the situation right now?!" he continued curiously.
Sarah hadn't called him or told him about it at all, so Michael had absolutely no idea what was going on.
James looked at the watch on his wrist
"It's been about 30 minutes since the school teacher called me," James said, looking at Michael. "You are going to school? Are you sure?" continued James suddenly stopping Michael.
"What?" asked Michael looking at James in confusion.
James sighed when he saw the look on Michael's face that looked worried at this time.
"I know you're worried about your kid, but are you sure you're going to go to school right now and make it public that they're your kid?" James asked, trying to remind Michael.
When he first heard that Michael had a son, ah, two sons, James was very surprised. Now it all made sense why Michael had brought the two kids into the office twice and Sarah was with them.
James was happy about that too. Michael has kids with the woman he loves, and Michael's days are sure to be more colorful.
However, James suddenly remembered that it would be a problem for Michael. At least for his position as CEO of Collins.
When news of Mr. Collins being seriously ill spread, there were already several moves to get rid of Michael. Although the results of Michael's work were good. However, there were some people who did not like his way of working which was too strict and unprofitable for them.
James was sure the news about Michael's son would be a problem.
So far Michael is known as a single man who has never been married. That's why there are many female fans who are crazy about him, dreaming that one day they might be able to win his heart, and the PR department is using that to build such an image of Michael.
So, the presence of Michael's kids could be a problem for him. That's why James took the initiative to ask Michael which school they applied to, to see if it was a safe school.
However, he did not expect that they would enter Angel School, one of the elite schools in London and be attended by kids from the upper classes.
Luckily, James had an acquaintance that was a teacher there and asked her for help in sharing information about Michael's kids.
"Of course I'll still go! Would you not do it if you were in my shoes?!" asked Michael looking at James with annoyance then immediately left without waiting for an answer from James.
James fell silent when he heard the question. His daughter might not have gone to school yet, but he could understand Michael's feelings.
James sighed. He just hoped that everything would be okay.

Sarah looked at Raphael, who was sitting beside her with a facial expression that looked more relaxed than before. However, Sarah still couldn't get the kid to tell her what was going on, or ask him to apologize to his friend.
Raphael is really stubborn!
Sarah took a deep breath and held her phone, her face looking worried.
Should she call Michael?
Sarah had been so worried about Raphael's condition that the thought hadn't crossed her mind at all. However, after seeing that her son was doing well, Sarah finally thought of Michael.
That woman called her husband to come here even though this was just a kids's fight that could be resolved amicably.
Shouldn't she also call her husb… ahem, Raphael's father too?
Sarah shook her head, deciding not to do that.
She had two reasons, firstly, Michael must be very busy and she didn't want to disturb the man, and secondly, this was a really not that big problem and she could sort it out on her own.
Not long after, the door to the room opened and a man wearing a long-sleeved shirt and black trousers entered the room. His face looked like he was looking for someone.
"Honey! Here!" The woman's voice was heard calling her husband.
Seeing the person she was waiting for had arrived, Sarah immediately stood up and walked over to them.
"This is the mother of that brat!" said the woman, pointing at Sarah.
Sarah only put on a polite smile when she heard the woman's words that made her blood boil, but she decided to be patient.
"I apologize for what my son did. I know as a parent you are sad to see your son like that, but right now your son really needs to be checked at the hospital. As my apology, I will pay for the medical expenses of your son," Sarah said sincerely apologizing while looking at the condition of the child whose cheeks were turning blue.
"Has the standard of this school dropped to allow someone like this to enter here?" said the man suddenly, looking at the teachers who were there.
"Mr. White, what you said…"
"Am I wrong?" interrupted the man before the teacher finished her words.
"What did you say?" asked Sarah, unable to contain her emotions any longer. He was really offended by that.
The man looked at Sarah from head to toe with disdain. From Sarah's casual appearance, she didn't even wear jewelry or carry an expensive bag.
One look, the man was convinced that Sarah was poor.
"You can't hear me clearly?" asked the man in a tone full of contempt.
Sarah opened her mouth in disbelief when she heard the man's words. She thought that the man would be more rational than his wife, but she never expected that the man would be as crazy as his wife.
"Then you!" said the man looked at his wife with a tired look. "Are you not even able to finish this until you have to call me?" the man asked.
"Why are you mad at me?" the woman asked irritably. "I also wanted to finish this quickly, but that brat won't even apologize!" she continued while pointing at Raphael who was standing beside Sarah.
The man turned and saw a small child who was staring at him fiercely.
"So you hit my son!" said the man coldly while glaring at Raphael sharply.
"Apologize to my son!"
"Not I will not apologize!" said Raphael in a voice that suddenly trembled when he saw the look on the man's face which was quite intimidating.
"You…" The man's hand was then raised in the air.
"What do you think you are doing?!" Sarah said then immediately pulled Raphael behind her, blocking the man who seemed to be about to touch her son.
The man immediately withdrew his hand when he saw the gazes of the people staring at him. He then cleared his throat.
"Then you have to apologize in place of your son," the man said, looking at Sarah.
Sarah really wanted to scold him when she heard what the man said, she had been trying to apologize for a long time too.
"Mr. White," Sarah said, forcing herself to smile. "Like I said before, I apologize for what my son did and as an apology I…"
"Kneel down!"
"Pardon?"
"If you're really sorry, then kneel down!" he said arrogantly.
Sarah stayed where she was when she heard those words. She did want to apologize, but wasn't that too much?
"Why are you just standing like that?" the man asked, looking at Sarah. "Isn't this a great opportunity for you to show your son how to apologize when he did wrong?! You don't seem to be able to teach your son well so he doesn't want to apologize when he makes a mistake. So you should take this opportunity," the man continued.
Sarah was still silent listening to what the man said. She realized that the stubborn Raphael was probably because she had not managed to raise her son properly.
However, did she have to kneel?
"Wow, really. I don't believe it at all! Is your pride that high?! Shouldn't as a parent, you must be responsible for the mistakes made by your son?" the man asked, annoyed that Sarah still standing.
He then raised his hand and grabbed Sarah's wrist, trying to pull her to her knees before him.
"Get off your dirty hands!"
Suddenly a very familiar voice rang out, making Sarah, who was biting her lower lip, raise her head to see if it was just her feeling.
However, it turned out that she was not mistaken for the voice. That's Michael.
"Mr Collins?" said the man in surprise when he saw Michael.
