The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 31
Laura crossed her arms. She said sternly with a smile, “That’s a pity. We’ll only hire Ms. Linda for this project if she does so independently. As for you, Gary, you need to have more faith in your student. She’s very impressive just as you said, and as her professor, you should be happy for her.“
“No! You have no idea how terrifying merpeople really are! How can I let Linda research this on her own! I need to be responsible for the safety of my students! “ Gary argued as he stood in front of me, blocking me as if I would be kidnapped that very second. This was the first time he behaved so stubbornly in front of Professor Laura.
This made me scoff. Gary was the one who was the biggest threat to my safety. After all, he almost
raped me, twice! Besides, he wasn’t my guardian, so how could he have made decisions on my behalf?
I walked out from behind him, stood next to Laura and faced Gary before I said, “I ‘m confident that I can complete this project independently, Professor Laura.“
Yes, I deliberately did this out of spite. If it weren’t for him almost raping me twice, my relationship
with Gary wouldn’t have deteriorated to this extent.
Gary’s expression was confusing and littered with emotions I couldn’t comprehend. He still tried to stop me. “Linda, you can still change your mind. So please, it’s not too late to change your mind and come back, alright?“
