All Chapters of My Ruthless Professor : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Mrs. Niken looked away while adjusting her glasses. She scratched her head, looking confused, then turned back to me with a furrowed brow. "What exactly am I thinking?""Huh?" I was suddenly startled, staring at her with wide eyes. Then, I smirked, looking down in embarrassment. "Earlier... you didn't hear anything, did you?"She glanced at me with pursed lips. "This apartment is quite soundproof."I smiled broadly, letting out a sigh of relief. "Thank God..."At least I could breathe a little easier. I had been terrified. I’d been so worried that Mrs. Niken might have heard my moans when Jefri was slamming into me.Her eyes had already widened when she saw Jefri carrying me; if she’d heard the chaos of our "battle" earlier, she would be absolutely certain I was his mistress."But... I did accidentally overhear a little bit," Mrs. Niken added, gesturing with her fingers. "Your moans were quite loud..."She smiled while adjusting her glasses and immediately started tapping away on her

"What was... that thing she showed you?" he asked, his tone cold.I simply nodded, my expression filled with worry.Jefri’s face tightened. His hand balled into a fist against the wall. "I’ll handle it. You don’t need to worry."The thing I feared most had finally happened. I knew Jefri wouldn't be willing to sacrifice his career either. If that video got out, it would ruin both of our reputations—not just mine.In a moment like this, I was certain he would start pulling away... slowly fading from my life. For some reason, my heart ached, as if I would never find any peace with him."You see now, don't you?" I pushed Jefri’s chest away gently, then looked down, my eyes welling up with tears. "Keeping me as your mistress... it’s only going to destroy your career, right?"Jefri lifted my chin, forcing our eyes to meet. "What makes you think that?""Because more and more people are finding out about us!" I cried out, my voice rising.My voice suddenly hitched in my throat. My lips trembl

They all fell silent and bowed their heads, no one daring to speak. He's so impressive, I thought to myself, admiring him.Even though Jefri’s expression was terrifying, I loved the way he led his subordinates. Firm and indisputable.Jefri sat back, playing with a pen in his hand. "Erika is my student. And my reason for appointing her as my assistant... is none other than to provide her with easier access to her studies."I spontaneously looked at him, biting my lower lip. I had been completely wrong about him all this time. I thought he’d made me his assistant just because he was possessive. It turns out he truly cared about my thesis.I felt my heart pounding against my chest. I think... my feelings for him were growing even deeper."Raise your hand if you still wish to oppose me." His gaze swept across everyone in the room.The atmosphere suddenly turned suffocating. I could see beads of sweat on the employees' foreheads, even though the room was freezing. Everyone remained silent

"Mrs. Niken?!" I gasped, my voice trembling.Niken, who had been frozen in place, immediately turned around. "My apologies. I didn't see anything."Jefri and I exchanged a quick look, and I started to sit up to get off his lap. Instead, Jefri grabbed the back of my neck and kissed my lips again."Ugh, Jefri!" I protested, giving his arm a light slap.He just smiled, and we both stood up to sit on the sofa."Niken," Jefri called out in a flat voice.Niken turned back around. She glanced at me briefly before fixing her gaze on Jefri with her usual stoic expression. "My apologies, sir. If you'd like to continue, I can come back later.""N-no!" I shouted, my eyes bulging as I waved both hands frantically.The room fell silent. Niken looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I turned to Jefri, but he just stared back at me with a face that was flat and leaning toward cold.I gave a dry, awkward laugh, feeling embarrassed for myself. "S-sorry. Maybe... I should step out."I started to get up, but

"...purely platonic," I finally answered.The reporters’ fingers flew across their keyboards, documenting my statement. They whispered among themselves every now and then.I swallowed hard and gripped the microphone stand tightly before continuing. "Roy and I have been close friends for a long time. So... I was simply helping him out by adding some excitement to the campus festival."A reporter raised their hand to ask a question. I nodded, and the reporter lifted the mic to speak."Roy said he has been in love with you for three years. Does that mean Roy’s love is unrequited?"My body went limp, and sweat poured down my forehead. I was at a total loss for how to answer. Like it or not, this news would inevitably reach Roy.Even though I didn't love him, I didn't want to hurt his feelings. Roy would surely be humiliated, especially since I had already accepted his confession in front of everyone, only to deny it now.But heavy-hearted as I was, I had to do this. For the sake of restor
