Chapter 577 Lieutenant Colonel Capra suddenly softened his expression, âHave you been tired these past couple of days?â
Arabella looked a bit puzzled and slowly replied, âNot tired.â
With a sigh of relief, Lieutenant Colonel Capra said, âThatâs good. Whoâs your instructor?â He turned to Lieutenant Madden for answers.
Lieutenant Madden was completely clueless, not understanding why the usually stern Lieutenant Colonel Capra was being so kind to this girl. Did she hold some special status?
âReporting to Lieutenant Colonel Capra, I am Arabellaâs instructor, Jerome,â Jerome saluted as he spoke, his eyes filled with confusion as he too didnât understand why Lieutenant Colonel Capra was being so friendly towards this girl.
âYouâre her instructor? Lieutenant Colonel Capra praised with a smile, âSheâs got some serious punches. Youâve done good.â
Standing firm, Jerome modestly replied, âArabella is naturally talented.â
After all, even though she didnât pay much attention in class, her moves were top-notch. If not talent, then what could that be?
âCultivate her well, she has potential,â Lieutenant Colonel Capra said with a smile as he patted Jerome on the shoulder.
Jerome was puzzled. Could someone really have potential just from being good at boxing? What kind of logic was that?
âOh, you were saying something about Arabella?â Lieutenant Colonel Capra turned to Lieutenant Madden, who seemed to have something to say.
Lieutenant Madden, being quick-witted, realized the girlâs importance and hastily said with a smile, âI just wanted to remind her to drink more water during the break since itâs very hot out there.â
âThatâs it?â Lieutenant Colonel Capra clearly didnât buy it. Was this something that needed to be specifically pointed out?
In a hurry, Lieutenant Madden added, âAnd, her boxing skills are really good, I wanted to praise her for it.â
Lieutenant Colonel Capra reprimanded, âLieutenant Madden, Iâwant to remind you, sheâs just a girl. Be careful with your tone and expression when you praise her When I came over your face didnât look so good. I thought you were going to criticize her.â
Lieutenant Madden was sweating bullets, âI wouldnât dare.â
Lieutenant Colonel Capra seriously said, âYou better not.â
With that, he turned back to Arabella and kindly asked, âArabella, could you give me your phone number?â
This question left both Lieutenant Madden and Jerome in shock.
Ignoring their reaction, Lieutenant Colonel Capra gently said, âIâm Lieutenant Colonel Capra here, all the captains and instructors answer to me. If you ever have any issues, you can tell that to me directly without any hesitation.
Lieutenant Madden was trembling with fear, understanding that this girl was of high importance. Anyone who could make Lieutenant Colonel Capra act in such a respectful manner must have a higher status than him. He had made a huge mistake.
Arabella didnât really want to give her phone number to Lieutenant Colonel Capra, but considering his rank and that he asked in front of his subordinates, she couldnât say no.
With a smile, Lieutenant Colonel Capra said, âAlright, youâre dismissed. Remember to keep in touch.â
âOkay,â Arabella nodded, unsure who told him to pay special attention to her. Was it Romeo? The principal? Her parents? Or her brothers?
âUnderstood!â
After saluting, Jerome quickly walked over to Arabella, curiously asking. âIf your boxing skills are so advanced, why donât you give it your all in class?â
He had been worrying about nothing all this timel He thought she would get a senous beating from Noreen.
Arabella casually looked ahead, asking nonchalantly. âDo I really need to take basic boxing that seriously?â
