Professor F novel Chapter 85

"I've already made a reservation." Flynn breaks the awkward silence as he glanced at the people around them and didn't mind August glaring at him. "Would you like to join us?" He asked everyone and they all nodded in agreement, as if they were all under Flynn's spell except for her.

"Yes, I think that's a good idea." Charlie smiled. "I was just about to ask August if she wants to grab a bite."

"Y—Yeah, sure. I actually drove here to have dinner with my roommate. It's an honor to be invited by someone like you." Gabi can't hide her excitement. "You can just ride with us, sir." She turned to Charlie.

"You can come with us, August." Flynn invited.

"I'd prefer not to join—"

Gabi interrupted her with a rather loud laughter as she opened the door and grabbed August's arm. "Oh, she'll just ride with us. We'll follow your car."

Flynn looked disappointed but gave Gabi a smile. "Alright. I'll see you there."

"W—Wait. How can we all go there? The restaurant may be full and can't accommodate all—"

Gabi gently pushed her inside her car and asked Charlie to ride on the front seat. "Relax, August." She grinned while raising her eyebrows at her. "Would you mind telling me why's the prince holding you in his arms?"

She looked at the front, glancing at Charlie who quickly met her gaze on the rearview mirror before clearing his throat. She hesitates answering Gabi but she'd rather explain now before she starts to ask line of questions that would lead to the idea she has all along.

"He was my professor back in college." She answered almost whispering. "He just wanted to talk about—"

"Did you date him back in college but it didn't work out so he wants to get back together after?"

Her mouth dropped open, out of words. How in the world would Gabi hit the nail in the head like that?!

"I knew it!"

"H—Hey. I didn't say you're right—"

"What? It's all over your face!" Gabi smiled. "Come to think of it, he's not the type who'd go around, introducing himself as a prince and showing off, feeling entitled for being a royalty."

"How did you know him?"
