Shameless [2]

"You have to do these two jobs. Can you do it?"

Nathan had a troubled expression.

John was 'asking' him to do two jobs in return for staying in Ward. They weren't particularly hard, but Nathan didn't understand why he was the one asked to do them.

He ultimately nodded, though. He had been planning to do them either way.

"You may leave."

Nathan stood up and walked to the lift.

Entering the lift, he left.

"Weren't you supposed to give him only one task, Vice-headmaster?"

The space behind John distorted, and a woman appeared.

She was wearing a white blouse and black skirt, with high heels that were almost painful to look at. 

She had her hair up in a bun, which made her appear younger than she actually was. Her skin was flawless, and though she wasn't very tall, she exuded an air of authority.

John was silently operating his device, seeing that the woman pushed her glasses upward.
