Are You Saying That You're Quitting？

Rumors spread back and forth and eventually landed in the ears of Johnny. Of course, he did not refute these claims because he knew that denial would only make things worse. Besides, what they were saying was true anyway.

Eventually, the University Chancellor called Johnny into his office to speak to him. The rumors were getting out of hand and it was affecting the image of the university's professors.

"Oh, Johnny, modern society may be open-minded and relationships between a student and teacher may not be a big deal, especially between two people of a similar age, but...as you know, you have always attracted a lot of attention on campus. So, naturally, your every move is under the scrutiny of our students."

"The entire university is currently talking about your relationship with a student. Is it about time that you step forward and clear your name?" 

"Chancellor, there's nothing to clear. What they are saying, is the truth," Johnny replied calmly.
