They had to do damage control immediately. Headmaster Leon went outside the kitchen with a smile on his face.
"Do not worry, everyone. We got everything under control. For those who got to try the drink, follow Miss Aella and she will lead you all to the clinic. Further announcements will be said later. For now, please go back to your respective classrooms and wait for your teachers."
Hugo, together with Abigail, stayed behind Headmaster with his instruction.
When he saw that almost one-fourth of the students lined up to follow Miss Aella, he tilted his head to the side.
'I wonder what will happen if I just informed Abigail about her drink and not the whole school?'
"Let's go to my office," Leon informed them. His face was still as cold as the ice that no one dared to talk loudly about what had happened.
It was their first time seeing him that way.
Abigail stood beside Hugo. She held onto his shoulders. ''Thank you for saving me earlier." She sincerely looked into his eyes.
Without Hugo's quick reaction later, what could have happened to her and all the students who drank it? Even though they do not have any idea what the powder's outcome would be like, it was still better to take precautions.
Hugo patted Abigail's back. "No worries." He shrugged his shoulders. They should have not gone to the cafeteria in the first place after listening to the conversation in the auditorium. He just didn't expect that they could bride him that fast.
This should be a lesson for him and for Abigail to be careful next time. He can't make more decisions that he will surely regret in the future.
When they arrived at Headmaster Leon's office, they were immediately offered a seat. Hugo glanced at Abigail, who was sitting beside him.
"Don't tell him about the time that we eavesdrop." He leaned closer to her ears.
Abigail nodded. "I know," she whispered back.
A loud sigh came out of Leon's lips. He shook his head disappointingly as he looked at Carlo, who was quietly standing on the side.
Carlo's hands were tightly tied behind his back. They couldn't straightly call the police since it will just alert the public.
But before they tackle the incident, Leon called Aella. He grabbed a piece of paper from his desk and write something on it.
"Announce this to everyone," he ordered around, which left Aella with no choice but to follow.
She peeked at the paper and was surprised by what was written inside. "Are you sure about this, headmaster?" she hesitantly asked.
"Yes," Leon nodded.
He wrote a memorandum that classes will be suspended for the whole week. He advised the students to stay quiet about the issue since that will just put everyone's eyes on them.
"I will go now, Headmaster." Aella bowed her head before leaving the room. She went to the technical team and announced the memorandum using the speakers.
Leon's eyes turned to Hugo. "Thank you for informing us immediately, Mr. Hugo." A smile lightly rose up to his lips. "Without you, I wouldn't know what will happen to the students."
"That's nothing at all, Headmaster." He answered back.
Leon watched him with curiosity. "How did you know about the powder?" he questioned. That was lingering on his mind since earlier.
Hugo chuckled. He calmly leaned against the chair before opening his mouth to say something.
"I just find it odd that the head chef was secretly placing the powder inside. If it was part of the ingredients, then he can do it openly with his other workers." He swiftly answered.
Leon nodded when Hugo's answer totally made sense. "Do you have any idea what is the powder?"
Hugo shook his head. "No," he firmly answered.
"Alright." Leon paused for a moment. "You two can go now. You two must still be shocked by what happened." He sincerely uttered.
He called one of the guards on the side. "Guide them back towards their classroom. Make sure they are safe."
"Yes, Headmaster."
"Can I just have a cup of water first, headmaster?" He scratched the back of his head.
"Sure."
Since Hugo was reluctant to leave, he thought of an idea. He grinned as he secretly took out his phone from his pants. He turned into 'no disturb' mode so that it wouldn't make any notification sounds.
This was very helpful, especially if he was watching por— sad movies. What if he was already releasing a liquid called tears in his eyes? You know, when the tension was there it gotta be continuous, or else the pace will be destroyed.
He looked at the ceiling and watch where the CCTV cameras were pointing at. When he saw that there was a blind spot on the side, he opened the voice recording app.
He pretended to fix the glasses on the side when the truth was he was secretly hiding his phone underneath the table. He covered it with numerous tissue papers. He left a gap when he closed it so it could still record what they were saying.
This was one of the reasons why technology was very helpful to humans. There could be boundless ways how to use it. Now he just needs to make Headmaster Leon leave later before he teleports and takes his phone back.
"Thank you for accommodating us, headmaster. We will go now," he smiled widely before taking a bow.
Leon nodded. He glanced to the side, signaling the bodyguard that he called earlier to accompany Hugo and Abigail.
"Why did you agree for us to leave already?" Abigail's forehead tied into a knot. She was eager to know more about what would they talk about. It's a pity that they were asked to come back already.
Hugo chuckled. They took their bag to their classroom before leaving the school.
When they were outside, he turned over to meet Abigail. "You don't need to worry about that." the pace of his walk became slower.
"Why?" Abigail's eyes were fixed on him.
"Just wait for it," he winked at her.
