Louis looked at her. Although he seemed calm on the surface, myriads of emotions were surging inside
of him right now.
Seeing that he wasn’t going to say anything, Ryleigh went up to Maisie.
Maisie asked, “How was it? Was everything okay?”
She smiled awkwardly and said, “I have no idea. They asked me to go home and wait for their call.”
Just when Maisie was about to say something, she received a call from Francisco. She went to the side
and answered the call, leaving Ryleigh and Louis to stand looking at each other awkwardly.
Ryleigh lifted her head, and when she met glance with Louis, she averted her eyes away. “Why do you
keep looking at me like that?”
“It’s so embarrassing! Louis crossed his arms in front of his chest and studied her from her head to her
toe.” Well, it doesn’t look that bad when you dress like this once in a while.”
The tense atmosphere between them disappeared as soon as the words came out of his lips. Ryleigh did
not feel nervous anymore, and she said, “What do you mean by that? Do I look really that bad when I’m
not dressed up like this?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe looked at her intently and replied, “Well, not really.”
Ryleigh stood akimbo, and when she was about to say something, Maisie returned and said, “I have
something urgent I need to attend to now. Louis, please help me to send Ryleigh home.”
Louis nodded.
Ryleigh was stunned. She looked at Maisie’s leaving figure. “Zee, how could you
“How could you abandon me like this!?’
Ryleigh exited the interview building. She knew that Louis was following her behind, but she was not
going to wait for him.
Suddenly, a snicker wafted into her ears from the back. “It truly surprises me that you can walk that fast
with those short legs of yours.” Ryleigh came to a sudden stop in her tracks. She turned around and
wanted to say something in return when a slender figure came really close to her, and a trench coat was
wrapped around her.
The trench coat still had his body temperature, and there was a faint lavender scent. Ryleigh presumed it
was the washing detergent.
Ryleigh was stunned for a few seconds before she said blankly, “I’m not cold.”
Louis was rendered speechless.
“Professor Lucas.”
Louis heard his name and raised his head. A few students from his class were walking toward him.
Ryleigh stood in front of Louis as stiff as a ramrod, and she did not dare to turn her head around.
He nodded at the group of students, and when they saw Ryleigh, who was wearing his trench coat, they
asked, “Professor
Lucas, is she your girlfriend?’
However, that was not the thing that surprised them the most. What surprised them the most was that
Louis had a girlfriend!
Louis lowered his head to look at Ryleigh and said expressionlessly, “She’s my fiancee.”
Ryleigh was biting her nail, and she was taken aback when she heard what Louis had said.
The group of students then began to call her “Mrs. Lucas.” She felt a little bit embarrassed. Just as she
was about to say something, Louis pressed her head against his chest, looking as if he was holding her,
and said, “Stop it. Mrs. Lucas is shy.”
The group of students noticed that the tips of Ryleigh’s ears had turned red, and they burst into a fit of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlaughter. “Mrs. Lucas is so shy!”
Louis touched her reddened ear with his fingers and chuckled. “Yeah. After all, this is the first time she
comes out with me.”
Ryleigh did not know what to say.
Samantha had prepared a scrumptious meal and asked Francisco to invite Maisie to their house for a
meal.
Samatha’s warm hospitality made Maisie a little bit uncomfortable. She said. “It’s okay, Mrs. Green. I’ll do
it myself.”
“Don’t worry. Just sit down and make yourself home,” Samantha said as she put a bowl of soup in front
of Maisie.
Francisco lifted his head and said, “Mom, I want soup too. Why didn’t you bring me one bowl?’
Samantha ignored him. “Go get it yourself.”
Francisco had no other choice but to go into the kitchen and get the soup himself. Maisie looked around
the house. The house looked spick and span. Although it was not as luxurious as the villa, it was cozy.
“Mrs. Green, are you staying here alone?” Samantha nodded. “Yeah. It’s quieter here.”
