Celeste tried to hide in the corner so that no one would find her, and it was going pretty well until that Sun Xi Zhao guy. Even though he seemed different when he approached her. He seemed calm and quiet, nice even, he just asked her if she wanted some water and to go upstairs to the VIP room where it was quieter. He didn't automatically a.s.sume that she would instantly want to go to bed with him as soon as he flashed his platinum card. He seemed like he would be appreciative of her, but oh well she wasn't going to stick around long enough to find out. So, that was a bust even if she did want to know him better which she didn't. Celeste just wanted to get home so that she could get ready for work tomorrow.

Celeste had a room in the hostel near the school that was provided to all faculty members. She was supposed to teach only advanced English literature but when the higher-ups found out she had an ESL certification. They told her they would pay her extra if she would also teach advanced ESL. She taught mostly fourth years but had some third years as well. Celeste enjoyed her job, the cla.s.sroom sizes weren't large, the students were respectful and the pay was great. She originally lived with Benny, so she didn't have an apartment to live in and her minimal clothes and other things that she couldn't bring with her here were currently housed in her cousin Keisha's bas.e.m.e.nt. So, other than a few essentials and eating out once and a while, all of her money was hers.
