Crashed Into Love. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

   The previous night, Britney was unfortunately the last one present at the venue to receive news of the video being released and the public’s shifting opinion, thus she was all dressed up and ready to go, patiently waiting in the lounge for the green-light to make her grand entrance. But when she finally saw the hot topic of her being named the ‘outsider’ in Jeremy and Erika’s relationship, let’s just say…. there wasn’t an item left in the room which could be broken, that wasn’t.     She was obviously too ‘emotionally unstable’ to show up to school the following morning, even Phillip could not bare the sight of her award-winning sorrowful crocodile tears. Besides, he had bigger troubles to worry over. Thomas’ confession of forcing a socialite’s marriage between his son and Britney was enough to create hostility in the business world. Of course, clients initially didn’t really care for this personal aspect of the two men, but because customers were

   “Now let’s see who we have here…” Evans slowly scanned the list of student’s names, calling them out one by one as he assigned an instructor. “Ah, so we have celebrities among us, Jeremy Adams and Erika Stevens… how nice of you to join us. William… take very good care of these two.” He added, motioning to the young man a short distance away.     Understandably, the girl instantly felt embarrassed by the director’s words that were laced with sarcasm. Apparently, this is what it meant to have their relationship publicize… anyone and everyone must have saw the news of the Richard’s daughter and Thomas’s son being labeled as a future power couple.    “Don’t worry sir, I’ll make sure to take extra special care of them.” William winked teasing at Erika, who was now both annoyed and confused thinking he was either trying to flirt or there was something stuck in his eyes coincidently at the said time he looked in her direction. Outrageou

   “Is it really necessary to get a part-time job? Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to start early but we only have a few months until we graduate. To be able to afford a car… it’s going to take a while.” Erika stated, trying to change the context of Jeremy’s taunting words, in attempt to cool her flushed cheeks.    “Hmm… well it’s the only way I can think of, for now. Even if my mom claims fifty percent of the company, I might not be able to have my own car unless the man actually resigns.” He began summarizing his sister’s speech of spending and saving wisely in case Thomas Adams pulled some sort of dirty trick.     “Sheesh… then stop being so dramatic.” The girl grumbled, finding his idea of working at this point to be a waste of time, since their days of being college students were almost over and they would soon be able to venture into a better paying career field.      “I’m trying to be responsible…”

   “Maybe we can explain the situation to the director, that lousy doctor might only tell his crappy side of the story.” Erika worriedly looked towards Jeremy as he nodded in agreement. “Hmm… even if he insists on having us regrouped, I should at least be the one to remain under his training. There’s no way I’m letting him get too close to you.” He added decisively.     The poor girl instantly felt a headache, this wasn’t going to be easy. Unlike most love smiting, helpless romantic teenager that would admire her boyfriend’s protectiveness, Erika simply thought he was being stupid. It didn’t take someone with a high EQ to figure out that William was deliberately trying to stir up trouble, but his motives were still unclear.    So, if push comes to shove, she would rather wait it out and see what exactly the good doctor’s intentions were. In any case, what’s the worst that can happen? It’s not like they would be alone, she’ll still h

  “Why would you be in trouble? For forgetting to tell your mother and I about the pre-internship arrangement or for lying to us and taking the bus with your boyfriend?” Richard’s steps halted as he asked so casually it really didn’t sound like he was angry by the slightest bit.     Of course, Erika knew better than to make assumptions when it came to her father. So she thought there was no such thing as being too careful, “I’m really sorry daddy, whatever punishment you decide on, I’ll accept it this time… no questions asked.”     “Take it easy there turtle, don’t get ahead of yourself. Why should I be angry? It’s not like you guys went to a hotel in a taxi. It was a public transport for school assigned activity.” The man couldn’t bare scaring his cute little fool, but added… “just don’t let it happen again.”     “Huh?” Erika was stunned thinking she had heard him wrong. “Aren’t you going to punish me? force
