Professor F novel Chapter 52

Flynn grabbed August’s hand and she was forced to walk with them while students are looking at them arriving. She blushed as the crowd went to a buzz watching them. She saw some of her classmates whispering to each other.

She was about to let go of Flynn's hand when he tightened his grip. "I'm not your professor anymore, August."

"B—But—"

"Trust me. Please."

She nodded and squeezed his hand on hers and when she looked around, she saw Liam in the crowd with a camera in his hand, with a poker face.

The crowd settled down and the host acknowledged the arrival of the royal couple with their son Flynn Ferguson. The crowd again made a buzz.

And then Flynn was called on stage to make his speech as an honorary guest, sponsor... and a previous teaching staff of Pearsons. She watched him with her mouth half opened, surprised that he's actually giving a speech for this event.

He first greeted the audience and flashed his admirable smile. She could tell the ladies are drooling over him like she is right now but she's one lucky girl amongst them.

Flynn basically welcomed everyone to the annual festival and encouraged young aspiring engineers to be curious and passionate of their work. Asking everyone in the hall to take this opportunity to network and learning first hand the things about their profession.

He stepped down the stage after his speech and sits beside her. The festival started with students visiting each stall and watching engineering plans come to life.

Flynn was beside her all the time and was mostly asked to post for a photo and he'd always pull her next to him.

"I'm starting to feel like everyone's talking about us here."

"Great minds talk about ideas. Average minds talk about events. Small minds talk about people. Eleanor Roosevelt." He smiled at her. "Let them talk about us. We can't stop them even if we worry ten times over."

He's right. He must be used to being talk of town that's why he prefer staying in the United States. And why isn't she used to it already? How many times did she hear people telling her that they've heard so much about her already?!

She nodded but deep inside, she knew it'll take time to get use to it. Flynn excused himself when a man approached them. The royal couple was escorted by Morgan and Stella who were already at the event before they arrived.

She stayed in a corner next to the small museum of projects accomplished around the world especially by Pearsons alumni.

She was busy looking at flyers when she heard that familiar voice. "August..." She looked up and saw Liam holding his camera. She stepped back in surprise but he kept his distance from her. "I just wanted to say s—sorry."
