Robert was whispering threats.
Elizabeth’s face burned, and her whole body felt warmer.
She turned her face away, and spoke with restraint and caution, “Mr. Williams, I have promised you to keep a secret, and I did at the police station yesterday. I could look past what you have done... But I do not understand why you are still bothering me.”
Robert took off his suit and threw it aside. He was wearing only a white shirt, looking noble and gentle.
The playful look on his face now contradicted the professional lecturer he showed up as earlier on the podium.
Elizabeth’s body stiffened, and she wasn’t sure what to do.
Robert put his knees against her two thin legs, and at the same time, his hand reached to loosen his tie. Elizabeth found the curvature of the corners of his lips was too sexy, and all she did was try and avoid looking at it directly.
His hand was on her back, rubbing lightly and firmly.
The strength was extremely accurate.
“I came to teach at Riverside College for you, Miss Elizabeth, but you showed nothing but coldness and unconcern. I am in a really bad mood.”
Elizabeth’s gorgeous face was full of doubts, “You came here for me?”
It might just be her illusion, but Robert seemed to press harder against her knees.
Elizabeth was in a simple dress, but the plain color of it could barely conceal her purity.
Robert pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice, “Are there anyone else like Miss Elizabeth at Riverside College?”
Elizabeth was already nervous, and now with his blunt teasing, her cheeks turned even rosier.
Actually... She has always been a natural beauty ever since she was little. She effortlessly stood out among a group of girls without having to dress up to impress.
But after what Marvin did to her... Humiliation clouded her heart.
Elizabeth believed that the good looks inherited from her mother were a sin.
She would deliberately not put on any make-up. She wished she could hide from all the attention she was getting.
Except for Marvin, no one would provoke her. And now, at the moment when Robert ridiculed her, she was immediately ashamed.
She was biting on her lower lip, “Being who you are, women were dying to please you. I do not think you would be interested in an ordinary acquaintance like me. Mr. Williams, please just cut to the chase and let me know what you want from me.”
Robert had a reputable background and was Marvin’s rival in the business field. Elizabeth was trying to stay alert and to avoid getting too close.
Robert said with confidence. “Men's interest in women has always been sexual. I will be honest with you.”
