My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 116

Lila’s POV

“Did you just say a shared room?” I asked in shock, staring at my boss with wide eyes.

Enzo was incredibly quiet as he stood behind me and I wouldn’t dare look at his face.

Why would she book us a room to share? Didn’t she know he was my professor? I couldn’t share a hotel room with my professor for two months. She must have been out of her mind.

I tried desperately to ignore Val’s cooing, but it was all I could hear, and it was rattling my brain.

“It’s a sign from the moon goddess, Lila!” Val squealed. “We are meant to be together!!”

“Val, this isn’t good. If word got out that we are sharing a room with our professor…”

“We are across the world, Lila. Nobody is going to find out anything unless you tell them.”

A knot had formed in my stomach; I couldn’t believe this was happening to me right now. Word was bound to get to my parents. I couldn’t speak to them on the phone without them finding out about this.

Cassidy-Ann just laughed.

It’s a hotel suite with two rooms; you two can relax,” she chuckled.

I sighed in relief; it was still going to be weird sharing a suite with him, but it could have been a lot worse.

“You should have seen your faces,” she continued to laugh.

Enzo just rolled his eyes and began walking toward the baggage claim without saying a word. Cassidy-Ann just watched after him with a frown on her face.

“He doesn’t have much of a sense of humor,” she said, shaking he head with dismay on her face. “I’m sorry you have to deal with that the entire trip.”

“It’s fine,” I said, giving her a laugh in return. “I’m kind of used to it.”

“I don’t know how anyone can get used to that,” she said, shaking her head as she draped an arm through mine. “But at least he’s good-looking.”

Val growled at her words; apparently, she didn’t like it when others found Enzo good-looking. It made me a little uncomfortable too, but I didn’t make that known to Cassidy-Ann.

Enzo was able to grab both of our things quickly and he met us at the entrance of the airport.

“I have the car ready to take you to the suite,” she said. “I’m having lunch with a few girls I met here and I’ll meet up with you later. I’ll text you the details for tonight.”

“Sounds good,” I agreed.

Enzo opened the car door and motioned for me to get inside while the driver placed our things in the trunk. I gave Cassidy-Ann a quick hug goodbye before sliding into the backseat.

Enzo sat beside me.

As we drove, I was in awe of everything around me.

I had never seen palm trees before, and this place was full of them. Everything was so beautiful and colorful. The trees were greener than I had ever seen them. Every color flower was blooming and gorgeous. Even the sky was incredibly blue.

I couldn’t believe that only moments ago I was souring through that sky. I wish I had appreciated that a little more. But I couldn’t get past the fear.

Enzo was also taking in the scenery, although he didn’t look as impressed as I did. I knew it was just a show he was putting on though.

I wasn’t sure how I knew that, but I knew.

The hotel resort was incredible as well; it looked otherworldly, and I was so excited to see the room. I felt like a little kid as I got out of the car and waited for Enzo to grab our things.

“I can take one of my suitcases,” I told him attempting to grab a bag from him, but he stood out of reach and when he backed away, I nearly fell over.

I swear, I thought I saw a smirk on his face, but it was gone within seconds.

He turned away and began walking toward the main entrance. I followed closely behind him.
