Rebecca White said with a cheery smile, gently patting his chubby cheeks, "James, you're so smart. Finished all your homework already?"

Glancing at the clock, they were twenty minutes ahead of schedule.

It wasn't quite time for her to clock out yet.

"What do you want to do next, James?"

Pondering for a moment, James tilted his head, "Ms. White, can we play hide and seek?"

"Hide and seek?"

Rebecca White thought for a moment but didn't decline, "Sure, why not."

Since James was still quite young, Francis had mentioned there was no need for extra tasks. If they had some free time, playing was perfectly fine. "So, who's going to be 'it'?"

"James!" James said with a wide grin, "I'll hide and you seek, okay?"

"Alright then."

James scurried off, and in a short while, came back with a men's silk scarf, waving it at Rebecca White.

"Ms. White, bend down. I'll cover your eyes!"
