Professor F novel Chapter 79

"August! August!"

Wearing her pale blue long sleeves folded up to her elbow and tucked in her black pants paired with black block heel ankle boots, August turned around to face Jacob, her direct supervisor in an Engineering firm in New York.

After her graduation rights, she received a call from the firm she went to for an internship congratulating her. They also told her the good news of giving her an entry level job in their head quarters based in New York and offered their educational assistance in taking Masters in New York State University. The only condition is that she needs to secure her license and pass the certification requirements.

Her family was beyond amazement when she told them about it after hanging up the phone.

"I have a meeting with a client after lunch. Would you mind putting the approved revisions on the file I sent you?"

She nodded and went back to her desk to check the file as Jacob leaves for the door.

She's been working as an junior engineer for six months while studying her Masters of Science in Environmental Engineering.

She works with a team of men who were pleased to have her. They even said that her recommendation was a breather for all them. It wasn't the first time they had a female colleague in their team but it's been long since they had one or since Jacob started with the company himself five years ago.

Five years ago...

She sighed while looking at the revisions she needs to add on the program. Although it's a long time ago, she can't help but remember how she started at Pearsons University, working with a group of men at the cafe, doing tutorials and her studies. And then she met Flynn, even dated him and met his family and friends.

"Flynn..." She whispered gently. She haven't heard anything from anyone or from him. "Where'd you go?"

She even tried to look him up on social media platforms but nothings comes up with his name. It's like he purposely deleted his existence. That was how much he wanted to get out of her life? Even during the festival held in Europe, he didn't come or his family. It's always just the representatives of the Royal Family who appears to celebrate.

"I grabbed coffee." A man's voice answered.

"W—What?" She didn't realize she was thinking out loud that her colleague, Charlie, thought she was asking him. "Oh!" She forced a laugh to cover her embarrassment and pretended she was talking to him. "Thought you went to buy lunch."

Charlie looked confused. "I thought we ordered Chinese for lunch—did they cancel?"

Crap! She forgot about ordering it herself earlier. "N—No. I meant, I thought you bought lunch when we already ordered Chinese." Smooth!
