Chapter 29
Thompson at that moment nodded his head, without being told he could tell how important this is to lady Madison, and he's going to do everything possible to make it a reality.
Not long after Lady Madison and Thompson arrived at the university, their faces etched with determination as they drove into the school.
The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the sprawling campus as they navigated the winding paths leading to the management building.
The car stopped and lady Madison immediately came down off the car, and started walking towards the Chancellor office.
Thompson struggled to keep pace with Lady Madison's brisk, he couldn't match the pace in which lady Madison was walking.
As they approached the Chancellor's office, Lady Madison paused, her hand resting on the polished brass doorknob. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for the confrontation that lay ahead; she didn't want any other disappointment here.
With a curt nod to Thompson who looks so worried, that lady Madison is holding the doorknob herself, he wanted to walk closer to her so he could take over when lady Madison pushed open the door and strode inside, her head held high.
The Chancellor, a balding, bespectacled man in his late fifties, looked up from his desk wanting to see who just entered his office, without knocking the door.
He wanted to say something when his eyes widened in surprise.
He couldn't believe who was in front of him. Immediately he scrambled to his feet, nearly knocking over his cup of coffee in the process but he didn't mind.
"Madam Madison!"
He exclaimed, his voice tinged with a mix of fear and worries, he didn't know what to say or how to approach lady Madison however he couldn't help but say with a shaking voice.
"To what do I owe this unexpected visit?"
He was still talking and at the same time arranging the chair for lady Madison to sit down.
Upon seating down Lady Madison fixed him with a steely gaze, her lips pressed into a thin line as she said.
"I heard you're the Chancellor of this university."
she said, her tone clipped and businesslike.
Immediately the chancellor nodded and his voice was still shaking as he Said.
" Yes, Madam Madison I'm the Chancellor of this school"
He paused and with a low and Nervous voice he said.
"Madam Madison, I hope everything is alright, I never expected to see you in my lifetime, but seeing you now feel something is wrong please, why the sudden visit"
The chancellor's voice was still shaking and he knew he had just spoken out of character, and he feared he would get Punished for saying too much and asking Lady Madison questions.
However, Lady Madison's eyes were still focused on the chancellor then she said.
"I'm here to discuss a matter of utmost importance. It has come to my attention that a student by the name of Ethan is enrolled at this institution. I need to speak with him immediately."
upon hearing what lady Madison just said Chancellor Harrington's brow furrowed in confusion, he couldn't believe what he's hearing, how can lady Madison Mention Ethan of all people, could it be the boy has caused trouble again, what else did he do again, he was confused but he decided to confirm if he heard the wrong words.
"Madam Madison, if I can remember clearly, I only know one Ethan in the whole of the school, and I'm sure he's not the one you're referring to"
However with the look on lady Madison's face, he could tell she isn't here to joke around, she Absolutely knows who she is looking for.
However he paused again before he said.
"You mean Ethan the orphan"
he repeated, the name rolling off his tongue slowly, as if trying to place it.
Immediately he saw the sudden change in lady Madison face and without being told he knows he's the one
Suddenly, his eyes lit up with Shock.
"Ah, yes! Ethan. I remember him, I remember the day he first arrived on campus, full of hope and potential."
The Chancellor gestured for Thompson to take a seat as he walked back and sat with his back settled into his leather chair. He knows something is wrong. Ethan has done something that will put the school in a very difficult situation if it's not been treated with care.
However Thompson declined the chancellor's offer by nodding his head a little and still standing.
Without being told he knows he dare not to sit down when lady Madison is seated, he will just take this as a mistake from the chancellor.
Seeing Thompson refusing to seat down his entire body started vibrating with fear, knowing the situation is more serious than it first looks.
Lady Madison said with a cold voice.
" Since you know, the Ethan I'm looking for and it seems you know something about him"
she said with no smiling on her face, it was like she was reading the name of listed soldiers
" Chancellor!"
immediately his heart almost jumped out of his chest as he faced lady Madison.
"Yes, Madam Madison"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
his entire body started vibrating even more he didn't know what lady Madison was about to say, but whatever it was it's not good, Ethan did something and she must be here to punish the university for it.
At that moment his eyes were focused on lady Madison's lip, and he nervously waited for what lady Madison was going to say.
Lady Madison however was still not smiling.
The chancellor's remark about Ethan is still ringing in her head and she wants to know what has been going on.
" Chancellor, I want you to tell me everything you know about Ethan, I mean everything you know"
At that moment the chancellor eyes widen a little when, he heard what lady Madison was asking, he knows it would be something tedious or Ethan had done something and she just want to punished them for it, but it seems he was wrong, she just wants to talk about it or she might deal with them even more if she heard how poor he was.
However with a shaking hands he steepled his fingers, his expression started growing somber.
But he too decided to play smart because he doesn't know what is coming next.
with a low and shaking voice he said.
"I'm afraid young Ethan has had a rather difficult journey here"
