Four

Lacrus was walking ahead of me. I continually follows him until we stop at his room.

He opened the door and ask me to enter. I look around and remembered what happened before. I slightly shook my head and looks at him.

“Is there anything I can help you with?” I ask.

“Yes.”

I nod. “What is it?”

“I became a professor to a school where you are studying.”

My forehead furrows. “What? Why?”

“It is none of your business.”

“Then why did you tell me that if it is none of my business?”

I saw him slightly sighed. “Just to tell you to keep your mouth shut. I don’t want any students there to know who I am.”

Oh? So, he will disguise himself so people won’t know who he is? Like what?

“And?”

“That’s all.”

“You bring me here just to tell that?” I irritatedly ask.

“Yes, because even Madam Theresse and other people here don't know that. Only Calix and you knows. I just want to tell you this knowing your personality, you might call my name.”

I just went silent for a moment. Why would a wealthy man like him apply for a job as a professor in our school? Does his money in his company not enough? Isn’t he busy?

“Well, whatever. Can I go out now?” I ask and point at the door.

“Yes.”

“Thank you.” I immediately walk out of the room but before I could leave, I heard him speaks.

“Buy what you want and what you need, just tell Madam Theresse.” I look at him with a confused face. “Out of the room now.”

“Tsk.”

I rolled my eyes without him knowing. Do I look like a child?? He communicates with me as if I were not his wife! I mean, yeah, it was a contractual marriage but—whatever!

.

School starts now. Calix was the one who drives me to school. And yeah, the last conversation I have with Lacrus was the one where he told me that he will be teaching at our university.

“Thank you for driving.” I smiled at him.

“My pleasure, Madam,” he replied and smiles. He looks even gorgeous when he smiles! He is my biggest crush!

I look at my watch and saw that I still have 30 minutes left before the first subject starts. I have no girlfriends here, but I do have one boy best friend, he is a varsity player in our campus and is famous to every girl!

“Elsie!” And yes, here he is!

I look at my back where I saw him running towards me. He smiled and stops when he reached me. “It has been a while! I heard you’re married now?”

“Wow, rumors surely fly so fast.”

“Of course, you’re famous here.”

I rolled my eyes when he said that. Yeah famous to be called as an adopted child.

“Stop it, Gab.” I started walking and he was following me. “Are we classmates?”

“Of course! I told them that I won’t be playing unless we are classmates, ha! You’re the only friend I want to be with, you know that!” He screamed and hugged me from the back so tight! I am running out of breathe!

“Wait, hold up!” I screamed and looks at him curiously. He just laugh. “You’re ki.lling me!”

“I am sorry, princess.” He begged and smiles at me. I just let out a sigh.

We are now at our room. Gab sat beside me. He was talking with his other friends while I am just scrolling through my social media until we saw someone enters the room.

I look at him. He was tall, white skinned, looks like a decent guy and is very gentlemanly based on his outfit. He also had these eyeglasses that made him look like a hot nerdy guy! I think he is our professor for our first subject.

“Alright, class.” I raised my eyebrows. Why his voice looks familiar?

I just kept on staring at him as he speaks and smiles at us. I was observing him not until I remember what Lacrus said before. Is that him? But he looks so different! He don’t look like a bad boy at all! He looks so gentle and calm, what the fvck?

I was frozen when his eyes met mine. I immediate looks away and pretend not to see him.

“Wait, don’t tell me you had a crush on our professor?” Gab ask, trying to tease me.

“No!” I scream causing everyone to look at me. And obviously, I saw him gaze at me. “Sorry.”

“Please try to be silent if your professor is talking in front, are we clear?” His tone was serious. I pout and glare at him. He is always like that to me!

“Yes, sir,” everyone responded.

The class has finally ended. I immediately walk out of the room, Gan won’t be with me for a while since he had some practice for the upcoming game of our campus. I had no choice but to go to the library alone, just to take a nap.

When I got there, I sat and let out a sigh. Yeah, he said that he became one of the professors in our campus but he didn’t say that he will be one of my professors in our class!

“Miss Madrigal, you are here again to take a nap?” I close my eyes when the librarian saw me. She always keep on nagging whenever I am here.

“Just a few minutes, please?”

“No.” I let out a sigh. I don’t have a choice!

I gather my belongings and depart. I simply made the decision to eat something in the cafeteria while I waited for the following topic. Fortunately, not many students eat here.

I grabbed a food and made my way to the available table. I stopped when I saw he was eating next to my table, Lacrus. I saw him again.

I peered around and noticed no available table when a number of students went in. I am forced to sit there.

I was ready to take a seat when Lacrus abruptly started talking. What does he want now?

“Why are you here?”

My left eyebrow went up. “Please excuse me. Where should I sit?” When I realized that my voice was so loud that some people around could hear it, I speak once more after clearing my throat. "I apologize, professor. I didn't hear you.

“I am not talking to you. I am talking with someone else.” I look behind and saw another student walking towards us.

“Hi, professor! Uhm, I just want to ask about the assignment you told us. I really don’t get it,” said the girl student and immediately sat in front of him.

I just rolled my eyes and put the tray at the table. That was embarrassing but that made me so furious!

I was silently eating my food and looks at them. The way he smiled at the student as if he’s not the heartless Lacrus Valencia! He knows how to disguise, huh?

“Thank you, professor!” The student smiles while walking away from him. Tsk.

“Hi, princess!” I look in front of me and saw Gab walking. “The practice got cancelled, coach was busy.” He slid into the seat across from me. “What are you eating?”

“A piece of bread,” I answered.

Gab was about to say something when suddenly we heard a chair moving.

Lacrus stood up.

“May I know who are you?” he asks as his eyes fixed at Gab.

I can feel the tension behind his gaze at Gab.

What is he doing?
