Teacher Cherry checked the last of her cabinet drawers for the tenth time but her search was not met with success, "Goodness, why did the auditorium manager left for vacation when we need him most? And now, I have lost the keys!"
As much as she was disappointed, Tian Mo Xing forced a smile to assure her, "It's okay Sis, perhaps it's fate..."
Teacher Cherry was not the least convinced, "How can we just leave it as it is? Next month's our beloved MIT's anniversary...It shall not be forgotten..."
They all looked at one another, as though Teacher Cherry just fuelled their desire.
007 then reminded, "But this permission letter, although signed by the auditorium manager, does not bear the stamp of the administration department. This is not supposed to be in our possession...Someone who has taken this, must be trying to get the school believing we had stolen this letter..."
Teacher Cherry nodded in agreement, "So now, it bothers me of how I am going to return that to the department with a sensible explanation..."
"But," Tian Mo Xing added. "What's more troubling is that someone must be scheming to prevent us from holding the celebration..."
747 snapped, "Tian Mo Xing, couldn't the person be that mysterious pest exterminator?"
She moaned miserably, "I shouldn't have check my inbox yesterday's evening! No wonder that email didn't get into my spam folder...Oh, how silly..."
187 shook his head, "You shouldn't have asked for the keys from me as well..."
007 placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, "Before we get to the climax, he's still a mere suspect..."
Tian Mo Xing looked up at him, getting the feeling that 007 purposefully minced his words this time to tone down the seriousness of the situation for her sake. It's a significant transformation on his part.
The sound of telephone ringing interrupted everyone's attention. Teacher Cherry quickly answered it.
"Okay, I get it," she hung up barely a full minute later. "007, I was told you need to go for your scholarship application interview right now..."
"That fast?" 747 remarked but apparently, all of them were surprised at the same time.
"I know," 007 responded thoughtfully.
"Ah wait," Tian Mo Xing stopped him as she took out an amulet from her pocket. Handing it to him, she wished, "You can do it, 007!"
"Just wait for me," he told rather ardently.
Tian Mo Xing nodded, despite him making out there was trace of hesitance showing through her wistful look.
Tikisomia, although 747 can be a bit blur sometimes, I like the way he provided most of the comic relief in the show...Cute guy...
