Professor F novel Chapter 40

August grabbed on Flynn's arm when he confirmed they're locked up—looking worried how they'd get out of that locked room and the possibility of getting caught and found out.

Also, she can't miss her afternoon classes and Flynn must finish his paperworks before their London festival trip.

"I'll figure something out." He assured her as he kissed her forehead before getting his phone to call someone but he sighed in frustration. "I don't get signal here."

"Maybe I can?" She took her phone and disappointedly looked at him. "Nothing."

"Wait." Flynn whispered and placed his right index finger to his lips, telling her to be quiet. "I can hear footsteps."

She waited and kept her mouth shut. The footsteps stopped right in front of the door. Flynn placed his hand in front of her, as if protecting her as they both stepped back. She doesn't know what his plan is but she trusts him. She stayed behind him, hiding.

The sound from the doorknob made her heart beating faster than its normal rate and she had to grab on Flynn's shirt, as if getting strength from it.

The clicking sound of the keys followed as the person placed a key to the other lock, twisted it to unlock from the outside. She held her breath and she knew Flynn did, too as the door opened.

There was a moment of silence, she closed her eyes while still hiding behind Flynn's back.

"I knew it."

August abruptly opened her eyes when she heard that familiar voice.

Liam!

She stood beside Flynn who was still placing his hand between her and Liam. Liam's face was serious and he looked a little upset while holding the keys.

Liam reached out to grab her right hand but Flynn took her left hand to stop Liam from pulling her away.

"Wai—" She said in panic as she see the guys glaring at each other.

She looked at Liam's hand holding the keys and Liam as if reading her mind answered, "I took it from the security personnel's office. Of course, it wouldn't be smart to tell them I did that or I'd tell them who were the people in this room." Giving Flynn a mischievous smile.
