《His office my rules 》全部章節：第 41 章 - 第 50 章

CARTERIt was only a few minutes after Liam left my office, a knock came to my door. When it opened, I was surprised to see Miss Adeniran standing in the doorway.“What is it?”“Eli just followed Miss Linton. They're heading to the administrative building”My blood ran cold because I knew this time would come. I just didn't expect it to come so soon.“Thank you for the heads up,” I said and she nodded.I sent Carter that text and walked out of my office and straight to where Dean Holloway’s office was, the administrative block. I didn't even grab my coat, I practically stormed through the hallway.When I reached the administrative building, the second floor seemed too quiet. Then I saw him.Eli was walking out of Dean Holloway’s corridor with his tensed shoulders and pale face.He looked at me but he looked relieved and very much confused.“What did he say to you” I demanded. “Did he threaten you?..”“He asked about the rumors” Eli said quietly.“And?”“I told him nothing inappropriat

CARTER.“So” Dean Holloway started “We’re doing this”I remained silent and inhaled the old leather scent of his large office. The atmosphere of the office managed to hide the bitterness of the man behind the large wooden desk.I squared up and faced him professionally.Holloway finally set down some printed sheets. “I’ll get straight to it,” he said. “This situation is getting…..uhm… disruptive.”“I understand” I replied quietly, carefully mincing my words.“Good. Because while I may not be fond of your celebrity status outside the university, I respect your work and influence. But I can not and will not allow scandal to attach itself to this institution.”I gulped and met his gaze, “There is no scandal, nor is there any misconduct”“That’s not what the student body is saying. Here” he pointed at the printed sheets, “A copy of the rumor posts”“I have made no misstep regarding professional boundaries and I have handled the relevant conversations”Holloway raised an eyebrow, “Have you

CARTER.A FEW YEARS AGOThe evening was warm and the sun was setting. The house felt too big for just me and Catilyn. Mom and Dad were out of town for an event, and I was in charge. The use was quiet except for the faint playlist coming from my sister’s room. Catilyn was humming loudly, off-key as usual while pacing in and out of her room.I was sitting on the couch, half annoyed by how anxious her energy made me.“Carter” she called from the top of the staircase. “Can I ask you something?”I didn’t even look up at first. “If it is about borrowing my grey hoodie again. The answer is-”“It’s not about your crusty hoodie” she folded her arms dramatically. “I want to go out with the girls. It’s Layla’s house and her parents are home. So it’s safe”Then I looked up.She was dressed up in a fitted top and jeans and she was holding a jacket that she definitely stole from my closet.“How late?” I asked“Not past eleven. I would be back before then. I promise. Pinky promise” she held up her h

CARTERGetting to the estate, it was too quiet. I understand that everyone was in a sober mood but I could hardly hear anything aside from the subtle whispers and the sound of servants and caterers moving around. It was the one night the Vale family hadn’t gathered to show off or to network, but who knows every event is an opportunity for the Vales to network.I adjusted the cuffs of my suit as I walked down the long corridor toward the main hall. At the entrance of the main hall was a large portrait of Catilyn. I stood there, gazing at the last phone that my sister had taken. A part of me felt unwelcome at her memorial, like she didn’t want me there because she knew that it was my fault.“Carter” I was joined by the rest of my family. They were all dressed in similar black suits, just like mine, and my mum was wearing a tailored black dress that fit her perfectly. She wore a black hat and huge shades that covered her eyes entirely. It was a clear indication that she had been crying.

CARTERI don't think I should start lying that I do these things when I'm not in my right senses because I was in the right state of mind when I pulled Eli into my house and kissed him on the spot.When my forehead was placed on his, and I told him I missed him, it seemed like I had turned on a switch.He immediately pulled me back into a longer kiss, this time taking control. I was loving it.“Do you want to take a shower?” I asked breathily and I hadn't had one since the previous day.He hesitated, “I just had..” He stopped, then nodded, and I pulled his hand behind me all the way to my bathroom.Getting into my master's bedroom, I watched him gaze around my large suite. The last time he was here, it was dark so he probably hadn't seen the real beauty of it.“Do you want to sit and wait or join me?” I asked. I wanted to make him feel comfortable and not pressure him into doing anything he didn't want to.“I’ll wait here” he said and I was a little disappointed.I walked into the bath
