After Felicity reached the campus, she too felt peoples’ eyes on her in a different way and that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Her expressions were a little ugly and angry as she walked towards Lucas's classroom.
Everyone knew that Lucas was rejected the day before, so naturally seeing Felicity walk towards him attracted much unwanted attention from gossiping students.
Some of the students present there could not help but exclaim in excitement.
The noise in the corridor attracted Lucas’s attention.
However, he was not particularly surprised, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly in a knowing smile, as if he had expected it.
He crossed his legs and sat comfortably in his seat and calmly watched Felicity walk towards him.
"I want to talk to you." Felicity said coldly.
"You and I have nothing to talk about!"
Lucas sneered, not wanting to cooperate.
Felicity was extremely angry as she accused him directly, "Aren’t you going too far? I rejected you so you just went on pressuring others with your power to fire me from my job? Do you even know how many people are getting hurt by your rash decision? "
Felicity didn’t want Jason to be involved in her affairs and lose his job.
As soon as she said this, everyone around looked alarmed. This drama was becoming way more interesting to ignore.
But Lucas didn’t care everyone listening. He raised an eyebrow at her and mocked, "haha! I just felt like it! Why? Where’s your tough boyfriend now? Come on, call him here again? "
Felicity was so angry that she couldn't stop shaking; she still tried desperately to restrain herself and compose herself.
She didn't want to involve others in getting humiliated with her, and she said with forbearance, "Your problem is with me! Don’t bring others into it!”
Lucas approached her, seemingly interested and said, "Oh Yeah? Fine! Apologize for the humiliating rejection that you slapped in my face yesterday. Will you?"
"Fine!" Felicity said faintly, trying to contain her anger.
"Okay then, let me see your sincerity." Lucas continued to press her for an apology.
Felicity gritted her teeth and bowed deeply in front of Lucas to apologize in front of all the people. "I'm sorry that I rejected your proposal yesterday and humiliated you. I hope you can forgive me."
The onlookers laughed at her. Yesterday, she was acted so bold and noble - she wasn’t this submissive.
What happened for her to bow so deeply and apologize today?
Did she really overestimate herself? Not knowing her status?
"Will this do?"
Felicity asked, trying to suppress her emotions, also trying to ignore the whispers around her.
"No!" Lucas refused decisively in a playful tone.
If sorry could solve all the problems then all the criminals would be set loose after saying a mere sorry.
"What would it take to satisfy you?" Felicity tried to swallow her anger.
"Oh! I am not that hard to satisfy. Your resignation! Or if your boyfriend quitting his job! Choose one, and I’d let you off the hook and not make it difficult for you anymore."
Lucas raised his tone in a dominating way and said with a smile.
“…”
Felicity did not reply, she tightly clenched her fists.
Off the hook?
Ugh! He was doing all this on purpose? Making it difficult?
If she were to quit her job, her internship will be interrupted, and she would have trouble graduating in the future.
It was impossible to even think of Jason Reed resigning.
He was not related to her; she couldn’t just accept his help first and then drag him down with her later. She could never do that.
It was a difficult choice to make, but if she didn’t choose, maybe both of them will be fired.
Felicity bit her lips. For the first time in her life, she resented herself for being incompetent.
