Chapter 162 Can You Just Talk To Me
Abigail and the other two people were led away by the female assistant instructor.
At the dining table for eight, there were only five people left.
Ebony took a pair of new chopsticks and continued to eat.
Seeing she still had an appetite, Alfredo cautiously called out, "Sister?"
Ebony didn't answer him. She finished all the food in the bowl, and then she put down the chopsticks, got up and left.
Alfredo looked at her downcast back and said to Ethan, "My sister is so wronged. Abigail and the others stirred up trouble first, but she became the one that would be punished instead."
Ethan said, "I hope Mr. Vasquez won't punish her."
Alfredo said, "Even if Mr. Vasquez wants to cover up for her, other instructors have also witnessed it. Punishment is inevitable. Look at my sister. The way she left just now looked so down..."
The word "downcast" hadn't came out of Alfredo's mouth.
Alfredo suddenly opened his eyes wide and saw Ebony was back again...
Ebony put the plate with newly filled dishes on the table.
After sitting down, seeing Alfredo looking at herself, Ebony asked inexplicably, "What?"
Alfredo looked at Ebony, and then looked at the food-piled plate in front of her.
He stammered, "Sister, did you just go and get extra food again?"
Ebony said, "Yeah. So what?"
Alfredo was lost for words.
Ethan was a little anxious. He asked, "Why do you still have the appetite?"
Ebony took a mouthful of rice, saying, "Why shouldn't I do? We have got rid of three bags of garbage, and the air has become fresh. I can eat a few more bowls!"
Ebony did what she said.
In the next 20 minutes, the four boys watched her add one bowl of rice after another.
Until the cafeteria was almost empty.
She was finally full. She wiped her mouth, stood up, twisted her wrists, and stretched her legs.
Seeing she behaved strangely, Ethan asked, "What are you going to do?"
Ebony cracked her knuckles, squinted her eyes, and said, "Go to the office to accept punishment."
Ethan was lost for words.
She looked like she was going to blow up the office!
Ebony asked someone and found out where Lloyd's office was.
When she arrived, she saw that the office door was open, and there were many people inside. Besides Lloyd, two assistant instructors, Abigail and her two friends were also there.
Sarina was crying like a child.
Abigail and Miranda didn't cry, but they were also dedicated to their roles, putting on long faces and acting as if they were victims along with Sarina.
After Ebony went in, the cameraman in the corner immediately aimed the camera at the four people.
In fact, everyone knew exactly what happened at that time. However, in the army, arguments or even physical fights between comrades in arms were not allowed in the army. That was why the instructors had to give them a lesson as punishment.
The office was quiet.
Lloyd was reading a booklet. After a while, he put down the booklet and raised his eyes, saying, "Who would like to start first?"
Abigail and her two friends remained silent.
So Ebony said, "Okay, I'll go first."
Lloyd looked at her and said, "Okay."
Ebony apologized by saying, "This matter is indeed my fault."
Seeing she was willing to apologize, the two assistant instructors was relieved.
Comrades-in-arms were supposed to love each other, so as long as she was willing to apologize, they could make up.
The two assistant instructors nodded, and they were going to say something to promote harmony.
But Ebony continued, "My biggest mistake is that I knew they were not of my species, and I still argued with them. Humans are high-level creatures, but they are just livestock. Therefore, I should not lower myself and fuss over with livestock, so it is indeed my fault in this matter."
She successfully made the the two instructors speechless.
Abigail was furious, and she roared, "Who are livestock? Ebony Gibson, you bitch..."
"Bang!" The sound of slapping the table suddenly sounded.
People looked over, and saw it was Lloyd, who was leaning against the back of the wooden chair, with his palm on the table. His face was sullen, staring at Abigail.
A moment later, he asked in a cold voice, "Did we not tell you to report before speaking?"
Abigail was dumbfounded, "Mr. Lloyd..."
Lloyd said in a deep voice, "Now, 200 squats."
Abigail was shocked. She said, "Mr. Vasquez, I..."
"300."
"Vasquez..."
"400."
Abigail covered her mouth, and tears flowed down.
Miranda and Sarina were almost scared to death, and Sarina was so scared that she forgot to cry.
At this moment, Lloyd laid her eyes on Abigail, his eyes narrowing. He said, "Start."
Tears dropped down from Abigail's eyes. She bit her lip and felt extremely aggrieved, but she still started to do squats.
The office suddenly became as silent as the grave.
Lloyd now looked at Ebony again, saying, "Go ahead."
Ebony was silent in amazement.
She swallowed her saliva.
She didn't know if it was an illusion. At the moment, she was a little scared by Lloyd.
Ebony coughed and wanted to continue, but she suddenly thought of something, so she added, "Yes, sir!"
Lloyd didn't say anything.
Ebony took a deep breath and continued, "I have realized my mistake, and I am willing to reflect on myself. I hope the instructors can give me a chance. I promise in the future, if they bite me, I will definitely not hit back. I will influence them with love. If I can't, it just means I am not good enough. I will improve myself so that I can help release their souls from purgatory in front of their graves."
"The above is my confession!"
Ebony's words made the two assistant instructors, Abigail and her two friends completely speechless.
But Lloyd made a sound of "um" after hearing her words. He turned to look at the two assistant instructors, and said: "Her attitude is good. What do you think?"
The two assistant instructors were confused.
Lloyd added, "Since you have no opinion, so be it. Ebony has confessed already, and you three need to write self-criticism letters of 500 characters. Submit them to me tomorrow. All right, Ebony stays and others are free to leave."
At this time, Miranda mustered up her courage and said loudly, "Sir!"
Lloyd turned to look at her and said, "Yes."
Miranda gritted her teeth, saying, "Mr. Vasquez, you obviously favored Ebony. This is unfair!"
Lloyd glanced at Miranda. Then he picked up the tablet on the table and clicked on a video.
In the video, it was the surveillance of what happened in the cafeteria at noon today.
In the video, Abigail's pouring soup on Ebony, and her pouncing on Ebony trying to grab her hair were completely recorded.
Miranda's face instantly changed.
Lloyd said in a deep voice, "Everyone knows the situation at that time. There is no need for arguing, because everything is pretty clear."
Lloyd stood up and said, "As for you three, your assistant instructors pleaded for you, saying that you hadn't adapted to your new identities, so it was understandable that you had conflicts. I wanted to give you chances after thinking about it, but since you are not satisfied with the 500-character self-criticism letters, then make it 50 thousand, and you need to submit them tomorrow morning. Any other questions?"
Miranda and her two friends completely didn't know what to say.
Eventually they left, crying.
There were only Ebony, Lloyd and the cameraman in the office after the two assistant instructors left.
The door closed.
Lloyd looked at Ebony and said, "I don't blame you this time.
Ebony didn't answer.
Lloyd continued, "Since you don't hit off with them, do you want to change dormitories? I can arrange it."
Ebony still didn't say anything.
Lloyd sighed, and he walked up to Ebony, saying helplessly, "Can you just talk to me?"
Ebony looked up at Lloyd, puffing her cheeks, and stared at him.
Lloyd softened her tone and coaxed softly, "I was wrong, truly."
Ebony asked with a sullen face, "What did you do wrong?"
Lloyd said, "Whatever you think what I did wrong, I won't deny. Okay?"
