Blocked the Wrong Professor Chapter 10
Daniel looked down at me, his voice quiet.“I wasn’t trying to hide it. I was afraid you blocked me because you hated me.”He paused.“I couldn’t just show up and say I was the man you dumped. That would have felt like forcing you to listen. So I did what you told me to do. I let you know me again.”For a moment, I could not speak.The dishes I had once mentioned on NearU. The sea-glass bookmark. The scarf. The space he gave me when I was embarrassed. None of it had been random.He had remembered everything.I held my phone tighter. “What if I never realized?”A helpless smile touched his eyes.“Then I might have become more obvious.”“For example?”“I could have written my NearU username in your review comments.”I laughed, then lightly hit his arm.“Don’t joke about my proposal.”He caught my hand.“Then may I formally apply to be removed from the blacklist?”I looked at him, nervous beneath all that calm, and the last ache in my chest finally loosened.“Yes.”His eyes brightened.“B

I woke late the next morning.We were supposed to return to Westbridge that afternoon. While packing, I realized the small field notebook I had made at the bookbinding studio was missing. A few Northlake notes were inside it.I messaged Daniel.Did you see my field notebook?He replied almost at once.It’s with me. It fell under the seat after you fell asleep. Want me to bring it over?No, I’ll get it.When I knocked on his door, Daniel was packing.Dr. Ford was there too, sitting on the sofa with messy hair, dark circles, and a hotel coffee in hand.“Claire is being unreasonable,” Ford was saying. “An old lab partner texted about next month’s conference. I replied twice, and she wanted me to delete the contact.”Daniel kept sorting his papers, clearly regretting his life choices.Ford saw me and immediately said, “Maya, you tell me. If an old colleague asks about conference logistics, is answering politely wrong?”I had planned to take my notebook and leave.Instead, something snapped

The next morning, I saw Daniel in the hotel lobby.He was not wearing a suit. Instead, he had on a dark windbreaker over a gray-blue shirt, with two coffees in one hand and a paper bag in the other. Without the clean distance of a conference room, he looked younger, less untouchable, almost like a professor one might run into on a weekend and then spend the rest of the day thinking about.I looked at him for a second too long.Daniel handed me one of the coffees.“You look like you’re reassessing my professional credibility.”I took it and tried to sound normal. “I just didn’t expect you to dress like a regular person.”He laughed under his breath. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”Today was not supposed to be a date.Daniel said there was a stretch of coastline near Northlake that belonged to the field lab’s long-term observation area. Since we had reviewed the indoor workflow yesterday, it made sense to look at the external environment before heading back to Westbridge.It sounded le

That night, the four of us had dinner at a small restaurant near the harbor.It was my first time meeting Claire properly. She was not what I expected. I had imagined someone polished, distant, and impossible to approach, but she was open, sharp, and surprisingly easy to talk to. She teased Ford for being boring outside work, complained about foundation dinners, and asked me about my research with genuine interest.That only made me feel worse.If Ford had not been standing between us, I might have liked her.Over dinner, I learned that she and Ford had been together for three years. Three years, public and steady, with both families involved. By comparison, my anonymous relationship suddenly felt like a dirty little mistake, even though I had never known I was being made into one.I told myself that as long as I stayed quiet, as long as Ford treated her properly from now on, I could bury the whole thing and walk away.Daniel noticed my silence.“You’ve barely touched your food,” he sa

After dinner, Professor Reed drove me back to campus.I meant to refuse, but the shuttle had stopped running, and the night outside the faculty club was freezing. Refusing would only make me look difficult.For a while, the car was quiet.I glanced at the dashboard. “Do you usually drive without music?”He tapped the screen. A slow piano piece filled the car.I raised an eyebrow. “Not what I expected.”“It fits my mood.”“Academic crisis?”“Breakup.”I went silent.He glanced at me briefly. “Can I ask something?”“Sure.”“If someone misunderstood you and blocked you before you could explain, what would you do?”“That sounds miserable.”“It is.”I thought for a moment. “Don’t chase too hard. Let her see who you really are. If she’s angry, pushing will only make her run faster.”His fingers paused on the steering wheel.Then he smiled faintly.“Understood.”The next morning, Dr. Ford’s call woke me up.“Maya, you’re going to the Northlake field lab today.”I opened one eye. “It’s seven.”

Once I sat down, the first thing I noticed was the folder beside Professor Reed’s hand.That helped.The restaurant sat beside the university art museum and looked more like a faculty club than a date spot: dark wood tables, low lamps, tall windows facing the campus clock tower, and professors speaking quietly over wine.Professor Reed followed my gaze to the folder.“Don’t worry. I do have questions.”I set my bag aside. “Dr. Ford said you had concerns about the implementation details.”“I do.”For the next ten minutes, he was entirely professional.Sample bias, data access, control variables, and whether the model would hold if the pilot group changed. His questions were sharp, but not hostile. If anything, he was helping me find the weak points before someone else did.Once we were talking about research, I calmed down.Dr. Ford had dragged this proposal through so many revisions that I knew where it could hold and where I needed to admit limitations.Then the server came to take ou
