Professor F novel Chapter 1

Augustine decided to go on her own when she was scheduled for an interview at Pearsons University! Her parents were both at work so no one could drive her.

She had to take the bus and the subway to reach her destination on time. She entered the University gate and was already amazed with the buildings inside the premises and the wide field where students play sports. There are also benches and student lounges where students can stay waiting for their next classes or hang out with friends.

She looked around as she walked towards the Engineering Department’s building. She's starting to feel nervous as her steps brought her closer to the hall.

Few students were there and some of them looked at her, noticing that she's a new face. She felt uncomfortable so she bowed her head while walking up the stairs to the second floor.

She's wearing a black coat over her blush pink turtleneck tucked in a black pencil skirt with her black heeled shoes. She tied her shoulder length hair up in a ponytail and applied light make up for that interview.

There are already four students waiting in the lounge near the dean's office. And she's the only girl! Two of the guys occupied the two single seater chairs and other two were seated in a four seater couch, occupying both ends that she had to sit in the middle.

All of them are wearing semi-formal clothes like her so she assumed that they're also there for their interview. She took a deep breath and exhaled as she waited with them silently. None of them said a word and was suddenly attentive when the secretary approached them bringing folders in her hand.

The secretary smiled. "Hi! I'm Diane, I work as a faculty assistant for Dean Anderson. He'll be interviewing all five of you today. These are your submitted applications. Just give this to him once you start the interview." She gives out the folders as she called the names on them. "I'll be in my desk. I'll be back to call who's going in first, okay?"

They all nodded and relaxed when she left. They're still waiting when the door opened from the main lobby.

Five pairs of eyes stared at the door and her mouth dropped open when she saw the hot creature coming in.

He's towering height and lean physique resembles those of male runway models. He carries himself confidently in his red sweater over his white collared top and folded them up to his elbows paired with his navy khakis and brown Oxford shoes. His brownish black hair is neatly cut and he wears a sleek, black rimmed rectangular eyeglasses.

He gave the people in the room a glance as he closed the door behind him. She had to close her mouth and discreetly swallowed when his gaze landed on her.

Damn! Who is this guy?

She looked at the thick books in his hand. They're engineering books. She wondered if he's also a student.
