Chapter 11.First long conversation together.Raphael's pov.I was coming to the school for the class with Adrian as I had no lecture that day, I was driving when I saw her with another guy arguing on the roadside. At first, I wanted to believe that it was not my Adrian, but I couldn't lie to myself for long.I packed my car by the roadside, watching them from afar. Seeing her with him got me and the fact that they seemed close to each other worsened it. Maybe he is her boyfriend. I thought, but then, when my friend helped me to search her profile, I learned that she was strictly single, so what's going on? Did she change her mind and decide to start dating someone? I questioned myself.My mind was a mess, what if they just started dating? Maybe they met immediately after I got employed in the school, or maybe they were in a secret relationship before I arrived, but how's that possible? Charles never makes a mistake with people's profiles, never! Maybe she just hid him so well that it

Chapter 13.Friendship with secrets.Adrian's pov.I was in shock after realizing what I had done. I just slapped my lecturer! I couldn't look at him in the eyes, my eyes were fixed on my palm, trying to remember what I was thinking when I raised my hand on him and thinking of how long my failure would be. I have just used my hand to push myself to more hatred.I glanced at him to see his reaction but was unable to see any since the place we were staying was so dark. I knew he would be equally astonished and I was expecting him to shove me off, but he didn't. "I'm so sorry sir, I don't know what came over me," I told him.He didn't still say a word, he just remained in his position, staring at me. He didn't even raise a limp. "Sir?" I called him, just to be sure that my slap on him didn't hurt more than I thought it would.That was when he moved, he raised his hand to my face and I shut my eyes very tight, expecting the impact of his hand on me because I thought he was going to hit me

Chapter 15.Shopping with him. Best shopping ever!Raphael's pov.I was in the school, just waiting for the time for my first lecture to begin, but first, I had to see Adrian before going to the class. I went towards the parking lot and was just in time to see Ryan riding into the school compound but was without Adrian. What's wrong? I wondered.I was going to approach him to question him about her whereabouts but stopped halfway. Why will I say that I'm looking for her? I wondered and I didn't want to make it obvious to everyone that I'm into her, though I wouldn't mind if everyone had to know about it, I was just concerned about how she would feel.I was still waiting, thinking of the perfect thing to say to Ryan for him to disclose Adrian's whereabouts, but nothing came to my head, then another student approached Ryan, "So, she is not with you today." She said a slight smile was evident on her face."Watch my mouth Millar, or I will be forced to shut you up in my way," Ryan told he

Chapter 17.What's going on?Adrian's POV.I went to the kitchen when I was done dressing to greet Mom goodbye. I met her dishing out the food she cooked inside a dish and Galton was with her, helping her. He must have arrived from school when I was in the room. "Hey sis, going to work already?" "Yeah." I picked a little plate and poured myself a small portion of the egg Mom fried. She fried the eggs and I'm sure they will eat it with bread."Oh! I thought I would cease you for a while, I want you to help me with my assignment." He said."That can wait. Wake up very early tomorrow and I will help you before you go to school." I told him.He nodded, "Will do just that. I will be expecting you in my room by 6:00 am, please don't come before that time, I need to sleep til 6:00 am.""Sure, I will try and remember that." I began to eat the fried egg. I wasn't hungry I was still very much filled with the food I had with Dr. Raphael, but Mom's cooking is always tempting and I couldn't resis

Chapter 19.Willingness to return his favor.Adrian's POV.Ryan was getting distracted as I narrated what transpired between Me. Boston and me, he was just humming in response, something he always does when he was distracted with something so burdensome. I had to put my narration to an abrupt stop, "...... I know he was going to say I'm fired, and that's all what happened, then I said I should visit you at home before going home since I didn't see you throughout today." I said."Oh really? That's nice." He said, he didn't even notice that I didn't complete my narration and it was so annoying. Dr. Raphael is way better than him, he always listens attentively and will find me a solution, he is also so mature and I prefer speaking with him. I thought and just walked silently with Ryan, and then my thoughts rang in my head again. I shook my head vigorously, fighting with my brain to get the senseless thought off and to focus on the glaring reminder that HE IS MY LECTURER! JUST MY LECTURE
