Anyone who would say such things in front of Otto must be someone who holds a grudge against them. It could either be Hyland Riley or Hazel Morgan. Both were highly suspicious, so she couldn't be sure.
"Be careful when you go tomorrow. Call me if there's any problem," Martin Riley said, releasing Crystal Foster's hand. She nodded, calming down, and only then realized how intimate the moment had been. Her face turned red inevitably.
"Um, I'll stay with Otto tonight. Get some rest," Crystal said, avoiding Martin's gaze. She hurried out as if fleeing the scene.
Martin looked down at his hand, where he could still feel the warmth. A smile crept onto his face, but only he knew what he was thinking.
The next morning, Crystal accompanied Otto to the kindergarten. After dropping him off in his classroom, she headed to the principal's office.
