The most heartbreaking thing was not getting hurt.
It was that the person who used to hold dear of you now hurt you unscrupulously.
Elizabeth shook her head and tried to drive out all the messy memories in her mind.
What did Marvin’s birthday have anything to do with her?
They were not biological brother and sister - she was just what Marvin used to get off.
Accompanying him on his birthdays was one of his fiancé’s liabilities.
...
Elizabeth arrived at school punctually. As soon as she walked in, she heard a group of girls gathering together and excitedly discussing something.
“Have you heard that the Law School recently hired a guest professor who specializes in Business Law, and he starts today!”
“I found out about that yesterday. I heard that he is a young talent on the Forbes list. He is still single. I read his interview in a magazine. He is so handsome, and I would kill to sleep with him. Let’s skip class today and have a look.”
“Exactly what I was thinking about!”
...
Elizabeth frowned. She was a student in Law School, and Business Law was one of her mandatory courses, which happened to be what she was attending today.
The previous professor was an older man, and his lectures were just cliché. Therefore, most students found the course boring and did not show up. Now there was a new professor, of which she was not even aware.
Elizabeth worried that the new professor would check the numbers of his new students.
However, sharp cramps abruptly hit her abdomen, and the blood flow became more turbulent.
She was worried, but she had to head to the bathroom first.
Fortunately, it was nothing but just an amount of heavy bleeding. Elizabeth was OK with it. She swallowed a painkiller and went ahead to the classroom.
She was hoping to sneak in through the classroom back door and was dumbfounded as soon as she pushed open the door.
The classroom was full of students, which was the complete opposite to how the other ordinary lazy days had been.
There were no empty seats. She wanted to find a spot in the back row but somehow could not.
Elizabeth panicked. When she lifted her leg, she bumped her knee on the door. It made a really loud noise.
The noise attracted everyone’s attention. They all looked back at the same time.
Elizabeth blushed with embarrassment. But she focused on continuing looking for a seat, she didn’t have a chance to look over at the podium.
However, while she was getting distraught, there appeared a male’s clear and be-witching voice.
His words were loud and distinct, and each one of them touched her heart.
“Those of you that are late, please be seated in the first row.”
The professor’s voice...
Elizabeth was surprised and looked over in a daze. They gazed directly at each other at the same time.
Face to face, eventually, She saw Robert Williams.
Elizabeth was stuck, and her breathing stagnated.
She grew up in a wealthy family and has come cross with many good-looking men since she was little.
But they were all different from Robert Williams.
The first time Elizabeth met Robert, she assumed he was wicked, cruel, and bloodthirsty. She wasn’t courageous enough to look at him directly.
The second time they met was at the police station. Robert appeared to be a humble and polite businessman, clean and elegant.
And right now, Robert was standing on the podium, tall and stalwart - Elizabeth was just one of his students while he was the noble honorary professor.
