Professor F novel Chapter 6

With the help of keeping her fingers crossed, August managed to avoid her hot neighbor. And that includes skipping her cup of coffee out in the balcony!

It's a waste not being able to enjoy that cup of coffee every morning but she's glad she found an alternative by running in the university grounds, enjoying the morning breeze.

She spent the past week walking around, visiting bookstores and thrift shops before starting her part time job at the coffee shop.

Just the other afternoon, she went to the University & Brew to get her apron and tag. Despite her saying it's okay, Henry had her name tag changed to August.

She felt bad when he mentioned the red velvet cake slice that she forgot and he wrapped for her last Monday. She couldn't count the times she apologized to him when she was at the coffee shop and he just laughed at her, assuring her that it's okay.

She left after he insisted to take another slice of cake from the shop. "Perks of working here." He winked.

She looked at her wall clock and it's almost seven. Her stomach rumbled in hunger. She's too lazy to cook dinner so she grabbed her purse and her hoodie.

She walked just a block from the apartment and bought herself a Chinese take out. She walked back to her apartment and she waited in line to the elevators. She busied herself, checking her social media not minding the people around her when a group of girls who were busy chatting lined up behind her, waiting for the elevators as well.

"Oh my God! Is that him?" One girl asked, whispering.

She discreetly looked around her, checking who the girl is talking about when she noticed a familiar tall guy standing on the other line to the elevators.

Whatever happened to the power of crossing my fingers?

He's wearing a white dry-fit shirt, black jogging pants and running shoes. He's wearing his AirPods so he probably didn't hear the girls talking about him.

So my hot neighbor-professor runs at night!

She tried her best not to look at his direction again as she felt her heart beating faster. The lift dinged and the two lines moved forward after the people stepped out. She decided to let the group of girls get in first when she saw that he was about to get in, just so she can avoid him!

But then he stepped aside when an old couple walked near the lift. He slightly bowed his head as he allowed the couple to get in first.

Her mouth went dry when their eyes locked as they were both left waiting for the next lift, standing next to each other. She blushed when she realized how handsome he is without his glasses and he's just looking at her with a straight face.
