The Billionaire CEO Returns to College のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

"Mr Rogers," Devlin greeted, confirming that they did indeed know each other.Faith wondered how he could have come to know such a person. Devlin stood and stretched his hand out for a handshake. Mr Rogers obliged him then entered their booth without invitation and sat next to Devlin.His men flanked both sides of the booth immediately. Faith squirmed. She felt trapped. She wished Casiuss was here with them but then again, she wasn't sure how she felt about him having to face down these two men alone."How long has it been? Four? Five years?" He said casually, crossing his legs and steepling his fingers together."About that, sir," Devlin answered. His voice was more solemn than she'd ever heard it."I'm surprised to see you're still alive."Faith frowned. What was that supposed to mean? Devlin was supposed to be dead? She didn't have to wonder long. He added, "You were so determined to get yourself killed at that time.""Times changed," Devlin muttered."Did they?" The man said, lo

Faith waited out front for Casiuss to arrive. She spoke with Devlin earlier and he told her that Casiuss would be picking her up per their earlier arrangement.Also, today's session would be held at his office because he had a late meeting. He'd hinted at the fact that the session would end a bit later so she should just sleep over at his place.Faith had declined. She had classes tomorrow and still needed to study that night. All the studying she would have done over the weekend had piled up already.He'd agreed...reluctantly, then joked about coming to sleep over at Greenfield instead. There was no way in the world a male would be allowed to sleep in the hostel overnight but then again, he was Devlin Banks.He seemed to have his way around the school so she took his joke with a pinch of seriousness and jokingly told him to banish any such thought.Despite their easy banter, Faith had felt a trickle of dread all through. She had very big news for Devlin and she didn't know how he wou

Faith and Devlin stood side by side, waiting. While Devlin stood perfectly still, unmoved and unmoving, Faith was a ball of nerves.She was fidgeting, counting and recounting things off her fingers, pulling at her clothes, fixing his over and over and over again."Stop fidgeting," Devlin said, softly prying her hands off his shirt which she was fixing for the seventh time."I can't help it!" "Everything is going to be fine. Just relax.""What if I forgot something important?""Then we'll sort it out later. The way you're acting one would think it was the Queen of England coming to visit and not your mom." He laughed."My mom is the Queen of our family," she retorted with a laugh.Ever since her call with her mother that night when she announced that she would be coming to visit for the weekend, Faith's nerves had been in a knot.She was so excited to see her mom. She wanted everything to go perfectly on the visit. Apparently, her mom had gotten some time off to rest and decided to vi

Faith came out of the bathroom, blotting the last drops of water from her face with a towel. Her mum was already washed and dressed in one of the nightwear they put in the wardrobe.Despite himself, Devlin had graciously offered to drive them back to Greenfield so that Faith could pack up everything she would need for the next two days.But he did it begrudgingly, muttering under his breath all the way, which was completely oblivious to her mum. Faith would have laughed if she wasn't frustrated herself. They'd been taking things slow... extremely slow...but the things they did do were super exciting and she wanted him, needed him.But at the same time, she really did miss her mum and would love to spend some more time with her.Plus her mum was not one to waste words and if she said they had lots to talk about, then it must be important."Come here." Mum patted the space on the bed in front of her.Faith crawled in, sitting cross-legged in front of her mother.She took Faith's head i

Faith was having a busy day. Not only did she have multiple classes but she also had an assignment to complete before tomorrow.Somehow, it had completely skipped her mind that the deadline was so close with all the excitement of the weekend.So there she was slaving away in the library all evening after a full day of lectures. She knew she probably looked harried and drawn but what was a girl gonna do?Even though she had no plans to see Devlin today, she'd still sent him a text saying she'd be busy at the library all evening.With Devlin, you could never be sure what his next move would be. He could easily show up to whisk her off to some place or the other.She recalled what happened at his house a couple of days ago. She'd known that he did something on his phone but never in her wildest dream could she have predicted what it was until she saw it on her phone.She'd picked up her phone and seen a message from her bank notifying that a hundred thousand dollars had been transferred
