Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

Charlotte was walking in the hallway, with her eyes overlooking the sky. She was watching how the birds happily flapped their wings. How a few leaves in the garden's tree fell, as minutes passed by.

She saw 2 people entering the garden's perimeter after a few minutes. Her brows shot up when she suddenly felt curious, knowing that the man was very familiar to her eyes.

It was no other than Hugo.

When she noticed that Hugo was with someone, she didn't pursue her liking to go down and greet him.

She was about to leave the two people alone, but she saw that the woman who Hugo was with, suddenly left.

Charlotte didn't know, but she felt at ease after seeing it. She didn't think twice and went down the stairs, that was located not far away from where she was standing at.

'It seems like Hugo does not have any idea that I am here,' she pointed out when he didn't even bother looking back.

Charlotte felt a little bit disappointed, but she quickly shoved the feelings away when she realized that it was not appropriate. Clearing her throat, she placed her hands on Hugo's shoulders and lightly tapped them.

"What are you doing here, Mr. Hugo?" She tried her best to make her voice sound more professional. She stood up with her head held up high, placing both of her hands on her back.

"The classes are suspended this week. Usually, those who only have matters inside the school would be willing to come here even though there are no classes," she stated a point.

Hugo nodded. He shifted his gaze towards the flowers on his front. "I was accompanying Jarrick, Miss," he answered. "What about you? Why are you here? There are no classes, so there must be a reason as well."

A laugh came out of Charlotte's lips. "We have a meeting regarding what happened 2 days ago." Her eyes gazed at Hugo. "I heard that you were the reason why the head chef of our cafeteria got caught."

Remembering that, curiosity laced Hugo's mind. "May I know what happened to Sir Carlo?" he asked. He was eagerly waiting for an answer when Charlotte wouldn't dare open her mouth.

"Is it not okay for you to share it, Miss?" Hugo questioned when he saw the hesitation in Charlotte's eyes.

Charlotte shook her head. "It's just… you seem very interested in it."

What she said was all a lie. They were really not allowed to essay anything to their students, especially if it was about family matters.

Since Headmaster Leon was her relative, she was able to know some details about what truly happened. She only mentioned 'some' because she knew that Leon had hidden many things away from them.

Hugo nodded. He made himself look pitiful. "It's just a pity that I do not have any idea about what happened to Sir Carlo, even though I was the one who saved all the students."

'That makes sense…" Charlotte thought. 'It's not like Headmaster Leon will know that I told it to Hugo,' she tilted her head to the side.

"Can you promise me that you won't tell it to anyone else?" Her face became serious as she said it. She didn't want to upset and madden Leon after all.

Even though that old man can be kind to people, especially to his students and the employees working in the school, there was one thing that most people were afraid of.

It was to never make Headmaster Leon furious.

He didn't like it when people cross his boundaries or when the people he trusted betrayed him.

"Sure…" Hugo exhaled. It's not like he will say even say it to other people.

Charlotte leaned against the small fence on the side. She was playing with her fingers before looking around to know if there were people watching them. When she saw no one, she continued.

"The only thing that I can tell you was that Sir Carlo wasn't taken to the authorities." She simply uttered as if she was already gotten used to it.

Well, that usually happened when Headmaster Leon knew who was all behind it. Although she knew that he wouldn't just let Carlo get off the hook.

"Ohh," Hugo nodded. He was refraining from smiling after listening to Charlotte's thoughts. He didn't want to use his powers against her, but he was left with no choice.

"Do Headmaster Leon know where is Sir Carlo?" He raised his brows, trying his luck to make Charlotte say more details.

"No comment." Charlotte chooses to keep quiet, knowing that she might spill more information.

"Then that means Headmaster Leon knew it." He grinned.

"H-Huh?' Charlotte froze in her spot after what Hugo declared. It was as if he was so sure about what he said.

"Well, people wouldn't answer 'no comment' if the person really does not have any idea about what is the answer. They could easily say 'No'. That phrase is just used when someone already knows the truth but couldn't directly say it." He shrugged his shoulders.

Hugo's answer astounded Charlotte. Her mouth slightly parted ways when she finally think of it. She quickly shook her head and took a step backward.

"I hope you will never tell anyone what we talked about here," she reminded, trying to shift the topic.

"Yeah. Do not worry."

"I shall take my leave now then…" But before Charlotte could even turn around, loud footsteps of a girl running, sounded.

"Hugo!"

Taking a deep breath, Sheila came back to the garden. She didn't know that the bathroom was far away from the garden!

However, her eyes widened when she saw who was beside Hugo. Her cheeks reddened in embarrassment. She quickly fixed her clothes and greeted Charlotte.

"Good afternoon, Miss Charlotte."

Even though Charlotte, wasn't one of her teachers, she was still widely known on the whole campus. Well, who wouldn't know her when her name was mentioned every day?

She has heard floods of praises about Charlotte regarding how beautiful and kind she was. That's why most guys in their school have grown a like for her.

"Good afternoon too." Charlotte greeted back. She nodded her head as she both glanced at the woman in her front and Hugo, who was beside her.

"I will take my leave now. You two can enjoy."
