Chapter 577
Lieutenant Colonel Capra suddenly softened his expression, “Have you been tired these past couple of days?”
Arabella looked a bit puzzled and slowly replied, “Not tired.”
With a sigh of relief, Lieutenant Colonel Capra said, “That’s good. Who’s your instructor?” 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?
“Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel Capra, I am Arabella’s instructor, Jerome,” Jerome saluted as he spoke, his eyes filled with confusion as he too didn’t understand why Lieutenant Colonel Capra was being so friendly towards this girl.
“You’re her instructor? Lieutenant Colonel Capra praised with a smile, “She’s got some serious punches. You’ve done good.”
Standing firm, Jerome modestly replied, “Arabella is naturally talented.”
After all, even though she didn’t pay much attention in class, her moves were top-notch. If not talent, then what could that be?
“Cultivate her well, she has potential,” 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?
“Oh, you were saying something about Arabella?” Lieutenant Colonel Capra turned to Lieutenant Madden, who seemed to have something to say.
Lieutenant Madden, being quick-witted, realized the girl’s importance and hastily said with a smile, “I just wanted to remind her to drink more water during the break since it’s very hot out there.”
“That’s it?” Lieutenant Colonel Capra clearly didn’t buy it. Was this something that needed to be specifically pointed out?
In a hurry, Lieutenant Madden added, “And, her boxing skills are really good, I wanted to praise her for it.”
Lieutenant Colonel Capra reprimanded, “Lieutenant Madden, I’want to remind you, she’s just a girl. Be careful with your tone and expression when you praise her When I came over your face didn’t look so good. I thought you were going to criticize her.”
Lieutenant Madden was sweating bullets, “I wouldn’t dare.”
Lieutenant Colonel Capra seriously said, “You better not.”
With that, he turned back to Arabella and kindly asked, “Arabella, could you give me your phone number?”
This question left both Lieutenant Madden and Jerome in shock.
Ignoring their reaction, Lieutenant Colonel Capra gently said, “I’m 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 didn’t 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 couldn’t say no.
With a smile, Lieutenant Colonel Capra said, “Alright, you’re dismissed. Remember to keep in touch.”
“Okay,” Arabella nodded, unsure who told him to pay special attention to her. Was it Romeo? The principal? Her parents? Or her brothers?
“Understood!”
After saluting, Jerome quickly walked over to Arabella, curiously asking. “If your boxing skills are so advanced, why don’t you give it your all in class?”
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. “Do I really need to take basic boxing that seriously?”
