The Night Before Meeting Up Chapter 9
"If I couldn't recognize my own girlfriend, I'd be a pretty pathetic scholar," Nick chuckled.I stood speechless. The fact that I hadn't connected the dots this entire time meant I was the actual idiot here.I slowly slid my hand into his. The second our palms met, that familiar electric current zapped straight up my arm.There was no more doubt that he was my internet boy. Amidst a chorus of cheers from the auditorium, we walked out together....Ever since our official reveal, the supposedly swamped man suddenly seemed to have infinite free time. His new favorite hobby was hovering around my schedule, to the point where I suspected he had quietly joined our university faculty."Aren't global experts' legs buried under research?"Watching him show up to collect me after class yet again, I finally cracked. He just stood there, looking down at me expectantly.I caved, averting my gaze. "Do you really... have nothing else to do?""It took me months to finally meet my girlfriend,

My sharp retort didn't put out the fire; it poured jet fuel on it.The rumors that I was a delusional, lovesick fool were now treated as gospel on campus. It escalated so rapidly that my academic advisor called me in for a talk."Bianca, you have always been an outstanding student," she began, choosing her words with caution. "I know you're an adult capable of making your own choices, but some situations require a sober step back."I understood she was trying to protect me from being scammed. I reassured her politely, "Don't worry, Professor. I know what I'm doing."She let out a sigh but didn't push further.Back in the dorm, Molly lay on her bed scrolling through her phone. She looked up, her expression a mix of pity and frustration."Bianca, online relationships are a massive gamble," she sighed. "Is it really worth letting your reputation get dragged through the mud for a guy you've never even seen?"What kills me is that the campus forum is tearing you apart, and your boyfr

"Congratulations," I said flatly.I had no idea why Dorothy felt the need to brag to me, but playing along was the fastest way to get rid of her.Not done, she turned toward the corridor and called out coquettishly, "Babe, come on in!"A guy with dyed hair sauntered into the room. Max Blair was painfully average-looking, but he masked it with a flamboyant wardrobe and a try-hard thug aura.My brow furrowed instantly. Max was a notorious trust-fund heir, but he was also toxic. I'd seen him cycle through a dozen girls in a single semester.Despite our history, basic decency kicked in. I leaned closer and whispered to her, "Dorothy, we've been classmates for a while now, so I'm going to be real with you. Max has a terrible reputation. Think this over before you get too deep."Dorothy clapped a hand over her mouth and let out a sharp laugh. "Oh, please! Are you throwing a tantrum just because Max chose me over you?"She put on a fake serious face and continued, "Makes sense, though.

What was truly terrifying, though, was the suffocating wave of familiarity. It felt as though I had known this man for a lifetime.I shook my head, trying to dispel the thought. As I turned and headed toward the door, I could feel his scorching gaze tracking my every step.I took a deep breath, forcing myself to ignore the phantom chills on my skin. Back at the dorm, I compartmentalized my emotions, organized the raw interview footage, and fired it off to my counselor's inbox.The second I finished washing up and crawled into bed, my phone buzzed with an incoming message.Nick: [You successfully conducted the interview, right? So, what was your final impression of the expert?]I immediately tapped back: [Honestly? After being kicked out the first time, I never expected him to call me back in. But sitting down with him allowed me to see a completely different side.]Nick: [A different side?]I: [Before this, I thought he was just an iceberg who loved putting on airs. After the ta

The assistant shifted uncomfortably under my gaze. "Mr. Harrington would like to see you now."I was dumbfounded. "Didn't this guy just spend the last ten minutes aggressively refusing to let me through the door? Why the sudden, jarring change of heart? Are all elite academics this erratic?"Instead of voicing my thoughts, I asked hesitantly, "Didn't you say Mr. Harrington hated being disturbed during his downtime?"The assistant lowered his head in shame. "He is requesting your presence. Please, go on in."Even though the entire situation was bizarre, my objective today was to secure a high-quality interview for the university. Now that the expert was inviting me in, I had no reason to decline.I pushed open the door and stepped into the suite. My eyes immediately landed on a tall, elegant figure seated on the sofa.He looked up, locking his unfathomable gaze directly onto mine. The sheer intensity in his eyes sent a sharp jolt through my chest.Feeling out of my depth, I quick

The assistant looked me up and down, his face a mask of bureaucratic indifference. "Tons of people want an audience with Mr. Harrington. You think claiming you're from some school gets you in?"Since I had blown off a highly anticipated date with my boyfriend to complete this assignment, I wasn't about to back down without a fight.I maintained my most polite, cooperative tone. "Mr. Harrington just gave a lecture at our university. If you could just brief him about the follow-up interview, I'm sure he wouldn't mind."But the assistant remained impervious. "Mr. Harrington said no visitors. He's incredibly busy."Normally, I would have lost my temper. Now I just offered a tight, professional smile. "Could you at least check with him?"He gave me a dismissive look. "Same difference. Mr. Harrington hates being disturbed during downtime, so don't waste your energy."I argued until my throat was dry, but he wouldn't budge.The expert was just rigid and unapproachable, refusing to gran
