Chapter: 93


    Before she could figure out why the dean had suddenly decided to show her mercy, her phone beeped.


    It was a notification from WeChat. However, when she opened the message to read the news from her


    university’s official ount, her jaw dropped to the floor. The message stated that Carlos was going to


    be a part-time lecturer at the university.


    “Hey, Debbie, have you read the news? Carlos ising to our school as a lecturer,” Kasie said


    excitedly, swinging her phone in the air as she clutched at Debbie’s sleeve.


    Stunned, Debbie stared straight at Kasie and nodded absent-mindedly.


    All of a sudden a sense of dread closed in. She didn’t know what she was dreading, but her instinct


    was telling her that something bad was going to happen.


    No! There was no way she would be his student. She had toe up with an excuse to ask for a


    leave, just until the duration of Carlos’ stay at her university.


    In the doorway of the principal’s office, Debbie stared at the brown door intensely. It seemed as if she


    were trying to bore a hole in it with her eyes. ‘Why does a leave of more than two days require the


    principal’s consent?


    There was no need for such requests before.


    Should I simply cut the sses or go into the principal’s office and ask for his permission?” Debbie was


    conflicted.


    Two minutester, she knocked on the door.


    Carlos was much scarier in person than Curtis. As a result, she decided that it would be easier to ask


    for permission for a leave from thetter than to suffer tormenting res from the former for cutting


    ss again.


    “Come in.” Curtis had been waiting to hear from her ever since she had asked for a leave from her


    guidance counselor.


    “Mr. Loftus,” she greeted. Curtis had just made green tea, the fragrance of which filled the air in his


    office.


    “Grab a seat and have a taste of this tea Carlos gave me,” he said, pointing at a seat across the table.


    ‘Ughhhhhh… that Carlos again. Why do I have to hear his name everywhere?


    And does Mr. Loftus treat everybody so nicely?”


    Debbie wondered as she walked inside. She didn’t n on staying for tea so she didn’t sit down.


    “Mr-“

    “Carlos said that someone had given him this tea as a gift. It is very hard to find this in the market. Do


    have a taste,” Curtis insisted before she could say more.


    He poured some light sea green colored tea in a cup and ced it in front of her. Having no other


    choice, Debbie pulled up a chair and sat down.


    The first sip crept over her taste-buds and down her throat. The tea released such a rich, vorful


    aroma and tasted so wonderful that even a casual tea drinker like Debbie, fell in love with it instantly.


    She could finally understand why her principal had strongly rmended it.


    When she emptied her cup, Curtis was nice enough to refill it for her.


    “If you like it, you can take some with you.”


    “No, thank you, Mr. Loftus. I actually came here to ask you for a leave from school.” She had to get it


    out before Curtis drove her crazy.


    Curtis looked at her and then smiled at her restless and impatient behavior. However, Debbie captured


    something strange in his eyes. ‘What was that? A… doting look?’ She thought she was just imagining


    things.
