TOXIC : MY MAFIA PROFESSOR のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 76

THEOI left Adrian’s office with his warning still running through my mind…he had been unusually serious about Lya. According to him, the information his investigator had uncovered raised more questions than answers. Her family background was unclear, and there was no reliable information explaining where she had come from.I understood why Adrian was concerned, but I couldn't bring myself to believe Lya was necessarily dangerous.She had been friendly to me since we met. She listened when I spoke, made me laugh when I was stressed, and never seemed bothered when I wasn't in the mood to talk but still, Adrian's warning lingered.I had promised myself that I would ask Lya about her family on Friday. Until then, I would be careful about what I told her.I was halfway down the corridor when I spotted her standing outside my classroom…she was leaning against the wall with her phone in her hand. The moment she noticed me, she straightened and slipped the phone into her bag…"Theo!"I slowed

THEO"What did you say?"Adrian's repeated but the anger behind his voice made the entire corridor fall silent.The employee who had been gossiping about us suddenly looked as though he wished the floor would swallow him. His eyes moved between Adrian and me, and his mouth opened and closed several times before he managed to speak."B-Boss, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that."Adrian took another step toward him. "Then how did you mean it?"The man swallowed hard and then opened his mouth "I was only joking. I didn't mean to offend you or Theo. I swear I wasn't trying to cause any trouble.""You were discussing my personal life in the middle of my workplace, insulting someone who has done nothing to you, and suggesting he manipulated me for a promotion." Adrian's expression hardened. "And now you're telling me it was a joke?"The employee's face paled then he immediately started apologizing "I'm sorry, sir. I shouldn't have said it."Adrian immediately cuts the man off before he c
