Professor F novel Chapter 80

"Wow! I'm finally meeting him in flesh!" August joked as she heads to the hall going to the elevators. "I'll be heading down now. Just wait for me."

She's finally down the lobby and heading out of the building. She walked across the street where the coffee shop is and immediately saw Gabi waving her hand as she stands up from her chair.

She hugged her and kissed her cheek. "Garett said he's almost here. We'll just wait for him."

"Alright." She then sits on the chair beside Gabi. "You look happy."

"Is it that obvious?" Gabi chuckled.

She giggled. "It's like you're waiting for your prom date."

Gabi grinned. "Actually—" She looked at her as she grabbed her hands. "—I wanted you to meet him. He's not dating anyone. And you're single."

Her mouth dropped as she watched Gabi's apologetic face. "I'm sorry. I just wanted you two to meet and see how it goes from here. Don't worry. I'll be joining dinner. I hope you're not mad for this?"

She sighed and smiled at Gabi. She can't get mad. Gabi is like the sister and best friend she never had. All her friends come and go since childhood because her father was working in different countries as an engineer.

And maybe it's about time to meet new people, too. Her heart remembers Flynn's words that night.

I hope this will be the last time you'll cry because of a jerk like me. I'm sorry.

To her, his words didn't mean how much of a jerk he was for making her cry. A part of her wants to think that he wants to be the last guy in her life and not date any other besides him.

And as stupid as it seems, her heart holds on to that belief.

"I'm not mad, Gabi. I hope your brother won't be mad though." She smiled.

"I think he's already got an idea."

"How?"

"Well, like what I did to you, I've been talking about you when I have a chance to talk to him. I think he's also curious." Gabi's phone started ringing and she stands up from her seat as she grabbed his bag and her hand. "He's here. Come on."

"Oh, okay." She grabbed her purse and stands beside Gabi while waiting for her brother's car.

Gabi waved her hand as a luxurious black sedan stopped in front of them. The back door opened and she finally saw Gabi's big brother stepping out of that expensive car.
