All Chapters of His office my rules : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

CARTER.I didn't know it was definitely hard for young boys to stay put these days. I gave the kid just one instruction. To stay in the fucking car.The look on his face at the firm told me he had seen everything.The entire ride was silent except for the mutter of apology he uttered.I felt strange after that. I didn't feel as angry as I was supposed to. One apology. That was what it took me to soften up.No it can't be.What the fuck was this boy doing to me? I dropped him off at his apartment but I still had to maintain my cool so I slowly told him to get out.He seemed hurt and I could genuinely tell he was sorry. It took every will in me not to call him back and ask why he didn't just listen.I wasn't sure I wanted to expose Eli to such. I wasn't proud of many things and I don’t think he would be either.I got home and picked up a bottle of scotch. I needed that after the whole day.Brandon was always pushing my buttons and today I could say he got what he deserved.Good thing Da

CARTER“Anyone else?” I folded my arms and sat on the edge of my desk.I decided to keep today's class short and interesting. Engaging the students has always been a top priority. I also wanted a chance to torment Eli. It was amusing. The way his head was always bent low throughout lectures and how he fidgets with his pen, hoping I wouldn't call him whenever a question was asked. “Rivera” I called “you wanna try?”He looked around to be sure it was him. “Yes, you” silly boy. Most students buckled under pressure but Eli didn’t. He stumbled, yes, but then he pushed through, in a way I hadn’t expected. I knew he was a smart kid. He used to date Liam so I was very well aware. I wasn't just aware of his level of intelligence. Fuck why did I care?When Eli finished, I remained silent. I wanted to see if he was confident or if he would shrink back into himself. “Not bad. Better than I expected” I said at last. I would not be the professor to fill my students' heads. He was great, but I w

CARTERI always knew there was something suspicious about that Dean, and last night definitely confirmed it. I couldn't help but think about why Eli was on student support. There were more things about him that I didn't have any clue about. I brushed the thoughts from my mind because lately, he has been clouding my mind, and I knew how unhealthy it was.My day was free until tonight. I had to be over at my parents’ house for dinner.I groaned when I remembered I had to cover up for Liam. Before I could let out all my frustration, my phone buzzed from my bedside table. I picked it up and was stunned to see a message from a new number.“Hi. It's Vanessa” the message read.What? How on earth could she have gotten my number?I deliberated on whether or not to reply but then I decided to reply. There was no harm there.Me: Good morning Miss Cross. How may I help you?Miss Cross: I was wondering since we are both free, would you like to help me with a certain research I'm doing? It's not a

CARTERI knocked on the door lightly and waited until I heard a soft “come in” before gently pushing the door open.Her eyes widened slightly when she saw me, almost as if she had never expected me to walk into her office. Well of course I wouldn’t have.“Professor Vale” she said immediately she recovered from her shock. I nodded. “Miss Cross”“What a pleasant surprise!” she beamed.“I should be asking you that”“Please have a seat” she gestured to one of the chairs in front of her small desk.I shook my head. I wasn’t here to chit-chat.“Can I know why you were at CarTer Law firm the other day?” I asked blankly.She blinked. I wasn’t expecting to catch her off guard. In fact, I was expecting a carefully orchestrated excuse.“I was there for research” “With no authorization?”She hesitated, “I did talk to you before hand”“No you didn’t”“Yes I did”“How did you find out I work there anyway?”“I …uh … It’s not a secret you know”I knew that, but it wasn’t common information either.

ELI“Do you think I deserve that?” I asked Maya who was pouring juice from a jug into several cups.“No you didn’t” she answered but wasn’t paying attention.Maya had decided to volunteer at a charity event this weekend, and I was only tagging along because I didn’t have anything better to do and I liked to help whenever she volunteered.“But do you think I’m overreacting?” I asked“Maybe.” she finally looked at me. “Can you pass the stack of cups over there please. I’m running out”I groaned and followed her orders.“I actually started teasing you about Professor Vale as a joke, because I remember you describing your dream man and that man is the perfect example. I didn’t think the whole crush thing would actually be serious” she said when I handed her the cups”“What? What are you saying? I do not have a crush on Professor Vale. I’m just saying that I do not appreciate the way I was spoken to the other day”“Well, I hate to break it to you, that’s how Professor Vale is. Not for once
