His office my rules Chapter 32
VANESSAI walked around the hallway, looking for what was not lost. I knew I had to catch Professor Vale unaware again. I paced around, thinking of what pathetic thing to say to him when he stepped out, my stiletto heels clicking on the marble floor slightly.Just then the office door opened slowly, and out came that boy. I had seen him and Professor Vale together a couple of times and also confirmed that he was the same boy that Professor Vale had pitched during the editorial meeting. He came out of the office clutching a notebook to his chest like an armor and his bag slung around his shoulder. His blonde hair was slightly tousled and he looked…. rough. Why wasn't he home yet, it was late and the campus was nearly empty.I watched him from a distance, making sure that he didn't see me. Just before he shut the door completely, I glanced into the professor’s office and caught a glimpse of him with his sleeves rolled up and his hands running through his hair like he was battling someth

ELIThe sun was setting and it cast a golden hue through the windows of the library. I just finished editing an essay for the department bulletin and I was more than happy to see it published when it came out.I had made a mental note to thank Carter when I next saw him, but I had not seen him all day.I took a deep breath when I got to the door of his office and knocked slowly.“Come in” I heard in a low, familiar voice.I pushed the door open slowly and poked my head inside before Carter nodded for me to come in fully.“Eli, you're still here” he said.“Yeah… I.. Uh decided to stop by and thank you before heading home”“Thank me?” I asked, and I nodded. “For what?”“For pitching me to the editorial board. I accepted my letter and I just submitted my first essay.”“You earned it, your diligence deserves recognition” he said almost emotionless.“Still, you didn't have to go out of your way”“Maybe I wanted to” He said as he spun his chair around and walked over to me.We were inches

CARTERThe office wasn't quiet as usual. Everyone was up and running and had one thing or the other to do.I spent the last hour combing through the Maybel Health files, trying to find anything that could strengthen the facility’s defense.The more I read, the more uneasy I became. The family’s story was painfully convincing but the internal reports were different. It was accurate and precise. I doubt that the facility could fabricate this sort of accurate reports but I had been in practice long enough to know that anything can go down.“Sir?” I looked up to see Dante standing in my doorway with a folder in his hand.“Donna just called, she requested your presence. They have new information they might want you to see personally”I nodded “Tell them I’ll be there in an hour or two”As Dante left, I sighed. Between teaching at the university and running the firm, I haven't had time to breathe, but I liked the thrill of being busy most of the time.Two hours later, I was walking down the

ELII skipped around my apartment excitedly. I had finally said yes to the invitation from the editorial board and the congratulatory e-mail sat on my screen. I was a junior contributor. That's what they called it.I closed my laptop and leaned back. The sun slanted across my desk, casting golden light over a pile of notes I had scribbled on.The last few days had been quieter. No unexpected calls or surprise conversations that made my chest feel tight. It was just a bunch of classes and then, Maya and I hanging out.The knock on my front door startled me.I opened the door and was shocked to see the figure before me.“Theo” I whispered. I recall that we didn't make any plans to hang out.“Hey,” Theo said, with that casual grin that always came with trouble. “Thought we could study together. Got that midterm next week, remember?”I remembered, the only thing was that, I didn't remember was making any study plans.Eli hesitated at the door. “Since when do you study way before the midte

CARTERI was never one to linger around after lectures, in fact, I had built a habit of leaving immediately after the last question was answered. But lately, I was slacking and I knew but I didn't change immediately, not today.I walked out of the classroom that afternoon and caught up to Eli. He had that familiar black satchel slung over his shoulder.“Eli… Rivera” I called out before I could stop myself.He froze and glanced over his shoulder. “Professor” he looked around.“Do you have a moment?” I gestured for us to move to a corner.He hesitated at first then nodded.The sun was already dipping behind the trees and I caught a faint reflection of the soft amber light in Eli’s eyes.I cleared my throat, keeping my tone professional, “I wanted to talk to you about the department bulletin”“What about it?”“Uhm well.. Your essay… specifically the one you wrote a few weeks ago”Eli shifted slightly, “Was there an issue with it?”“No,” I said too quickly “it's quite the opposite”He bli

ELIThe afternoon spilled lazily across the school compound and warmed my skin. I sat on one of the benches outside a student hall and was distracted with my phone and the laughter coming from a group of nearby students.I had been lost in my head since the talk with Carter Vale. That man brought me coffee? Coffee of all things.Even though it wasn't a grand gesture, it was something and it made me feel warm inside.I exhaled, switching between apps on my phone when I felt someone slip into the bench beside me.“Theo” I said with the sudden urge to get up. I had been avoiding him for a while.“Hey” his voice was soft and cautious. “Mind if I sit”I rolled my eyes inwardly. He was already sitting anyway.“Sure” I nodded.His hands were clasped and he didn't have that usual grin he usually wore. He was silent for a few seconds before he eventually spoke.“I wanted to talk about the other night”My chest tightened, I knew this was coming but I was avoiding it and keeping my distance.“Ok
