Chapter 153

After Paulina said this, the headmaster refused, “The students are in study hall right now.”

Paulina’s expression tightened, her brows knitting together, “I’ll just pop over for a moment then. You’ll unlock the door for me later?”

With a sigh, the headmaster capitulated. “Alright, I’ll call her out for you. Just give me a minute.”
