MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FOUR
“There’s not a lot of info on this company but here’s what I was able to work with.” I handed a file to my boss.“That’s fine. You may leave.” My brows furrowed in confusion. That was it? Ryan looked up at me and arched a brow.“Is there anything else, miss Leah?” I shook my head no and then left. I’d expected him to explain the purpose of auditing several company accounts.Ryan had me checking into companies that had no information asides the one he handed me and I wondered if Marque and Co. was interested in buying them.The company itself was doing well but I hadn’t been able to lay my hands on those details.You’d think the financial details of a bank would be public information, at least to the finance team but it wasn’t. Maybe the others had seen it and I hadn’t yet.I asked David and he’d told me it was not yet my business.I was packing up for the day, thinking of how I should get in touch with Jack, possibly he could also help me out with Jared when I was called up to Ryan’s o

Ryan didn’t act as though he was prying into my life and continued speaking.“With all due respect sir, I do not feel comfortable with this conversation.” He gazed at me for what seemed like an hour when it was merely seconds.“What part?” I was dumbfounded. This man was certainly off his rockers“Excuse me?”“What part makes you comfortable?” I frowned at him.“Everything sir.” He bristled at my tone and opened up his system again.“You may leave.”I left his office feeling more confused than I’d ever been in my life and quite insulted.***I grabbed a shot glass and downed its content in seconds.“Woah. Slow down.” I gave Jack a death glare. I was still fuming from my encounter with Ryan at the office.“You seem to be in a good mood.” Jack had been smiling all night and it was starting to piss me off. Not the fact that he was happy but the fact that I couldn’t see past his pearly white teeth.“Becka and I made up.” His grin that I didn’t could grow wider than what it was, grew again

I woke up, a little disoriented and with a splitting headache. I groaned and rubbed my forehead. The bed beneath me felt too comfortable to be mine and my eyes snapped open.The bright light from outside hit me square in the face and I was almost blinded by it.I knew this place, it was very familiar, way too familiar. Jared’s place. I was in Jared’s place. How was I in Jared’s place?I jumped out of bed and ran out, hoping to catch him, even though I was completely confused as to how I was there in the first place or what had happened the night before.“J…” I couldn’t even call his name and it turned out, there was no point. No one was in anyway. I walked back into the guest room. I’d only been in there, once, when he’d been sick and I made soup for him.My phone rang with the name of the person I wanted to talk to, the only person that could explain what the hell had happened.“Hello?”“How the hell am I at his house?” I seethed into my phone.“No ‘I’m sorry for slapping you’, ‘than

“How have you been?”“Honestly?” Aly nodded, looking concerned.“I don’t know, Aly. There’s too much and nothing going on at once. I was at Jared’s place yesterday.” Her eyes widened with shock and hope.“Nothing happened. I was drunk…” Whatever hope she might have had was squashed to pulp.“But you don’t drink.” I pressed my fingers into my chin and sighed.“I even threw up in the car. God, I was so embarrassed.” Her nose wrinkled and I almost laughed. I would have if I wasn’t absolutely mortified.“How is he though?” He was also her friend, which meant that he’d see her sometimes and Aarav too. Aarav must have been disappointed in me.“Honestly?” She re-echoed my words.“Not too good Aly. Aarav has tried to get him out of his office and into life but he’d rather drown in paper work and you seem to be doing the same.” The sadness in my chest inflated as I ran my hands through my hair.“Aly, next week was supposed to be our wedding.”“I know. I’m the chief and only bridesmaid.” She ga

It was insane how incredibly perceptive she was. I scratched the back of my neck nervously.“Yeah, something did happen.” I used to be tight-lipped about things, especially when I first started with Dr. Anne but I was at my wits end.“Tell me what happened.” I recounted the event of a few weeks and she gave no impression of judgment, in fact, the only reason I knew she was listening was the occasional nod at me, urging me to continue.“Everything is so messed up. I just recently made up with my friends, Jared on the other hand, I don’t think there’s hope. Even if there was, I probably don’t deserve it.” She took a break from writing and peered at me. My cheeks reddened in embarrassment.“I’m sorry, I know you quit and this just seems like a lot of problem-unloading.” She shook her head at me and waved it off.“It’s okay. So when did this all start?” My gaze wandered and finally settled on a painting, one of Dr. Anne and a man who seemed around her age, they looked happy together.“Leah

I puffed out my stomach. I hadn't been eating well and I'd grown skinner over the weeks. The event was in a few hours and I was busy getting ready "What do you think?" The lady who'd been beating up my face turned to me, staring at her work. I smiled tightly. Her work was good but I wasn't feeling it, I wasn't feeling anything. My make-up artist turned to the lady bringing out dresses for me to try on, and I realised she'd been talking to her and not me. When I saw the array of dresses, my stomach tightened in knots. I was nervous about the whole thing, I had no idea what kinds of people I'd be meeting or whom. All Ryan had told me was that I'd be going for an event and I'd be speaking in it. Jack and I had practised a day before but I still felt like I hadn't done enough. "Your dress..." I hadn't even noticed that the make up artist was done and had left the room. My head snapped to the lady holding a gorgeous dress, surely it'd look good on me. "Let's get this

My face contorted in anger. Sure Ryan was calling me because I’d gone missing but I didn’t feel like seeing him yet in the moment so, I did the next stupid thing I could think of. I ran back to the toilet and I locked the door behind me, sagging against the door.It was when I turned and I realised what I’d done, Jared was looking at me with questions in his eyes and my lips parted in surprise. I had somehow managed to pull him along with me to the bathroom.My heartbeat spiked up when I heard my name being called again, Ryan hadn’t seen me yet and was still looking for me. I held my breath until his voice faded into a distance.“I’m sorry.” I whispered when I saw that he was still looking at me. I stood away from the door so he could leave, it hadn’t even been my intention to drag him along.“I promised not to bump into you, I had no idea you were coming here, Aa - I was told you don’t attend functions like this.” I said, making small talk to conquer the awkwardness that had filled th

My speech and financial analysis had been going on for about 25 minutes and I had less than 10 minutes to round off.“As the year runs to an end, we implore our clients to make a few rash decisions and get loans from us.” I joked and the crowd laughed.“But on a more serious note, think three times before you make that decision, I know what it feels like to make a mistake and want to turn back the hand of time.” My gaze found Jared’s, it took all of me to not exhale loudly into the microphone.“Problem is, you can’t.” I smiled sadly and moved my eyes away from him, anymore and I would burst into tears.“If you’re going to make a decision, make sure your CFO’s are aware, they are your best friends. We loan and you return but more than that, we expect your investments to yield a massive increase or how else do you expect us to eat?” I joked again.I had no idea I could work a crowd that good, even Jared cracked a smile. I knew because I always had him in my peripheral vision, always.“T
