Chapter 16
In the midst of the chaos, Alison quickly turned around and exined, “I’m not Penelope.”
Lucian frowned. Was she pretending not to know him? Was it because he had been loo busy to pay
attention to her these past few days?
Allison didn’t dare let him continue questioning her. Just as she was about to leave the ssroom, the
principal behind Lucian red at her unhappily, “ss is about to start; get back to your seal!*
Her steps halted and she had no choice but to return to her seat.
The burning gaze from behind followed her. Allison really wanted to hide under the table.
On the podium, Lucian’s deep voice came through the speakers, “Hello everyone, I’m Lucian. For the
next half semester, I’ll be teaching you finance.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole ssroom erupted.
The girls started asking questions.
“Mr. Lindberg, do you have a girlfriend?”
“Mr. Lindberg, can you write down your contact information?”
“Mr. Lindberg, what type of girls do you like?”
With a slight smile on his lips, Lucian’s gazended pointedly on Allison, “I’m sorry, I already have a
fiancée.”
Sighs of disappointment filled the ssroom, while Allison waspletely stunned.
Daisy whispered in her ear, “Why do I feel like Lucian’s looking at you weirdly? Is there something
going on between you two?”
Allison lowered her head guiltily, “What are you talking about? Everyone in town knows his fiancée is
Penelope.”
“True… but I really didn’t expect Lucian toe to teach here. As the future heir of the Lindberg
Corporation, I thought I wouldn’t see him until after graduation.”
Allison couldn’t hear the rest of what Daisy was saying.
She was considering how to avoid him in the future.
At that moment, Lucian spoke, “Everyone quiet down; I’m going to take attendance.”
H
Allison felt like she was about to copse and her palms were sweaty with nerves.
“Allison.” After a while, a deep, maic male voice rang out.
He read her name with a hint of emotion.
Allison stood up and lowered her head.
She deliberately lowered her voice and softly said, “Here.”
She quickly sat down after speaking.
Lucian nced at the attendance sheet and furrowed his brows slightly.
Allison…
So she was that little maid from the nagan family.
He remembered her always wearing a mask and only catching a fleeting glimpse of her
Upon closer inspection, she indeed did not resemble Penelope.
He hid the deeper meaning in his eyes and said with a cool voice, “Allison, stand up and answer this,
what’s the meaning of interbank lending?”
Allison remained seated, not yet reacting.
Daisy gently nudged her arm, “Hey, Mr. Lindberg is calling you.”
Allison quickly stood up, but her mind was in a mess.
This was a simple question, but she hadn’t been attending ss recently. Plus, she was taking this
elective just to fill her credits, so she didn’t take it too seriously.
Biting her lip, Allison had no answer.
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
Lucian made a mark on the attendance sheet and said quietly, “Come to my office after ss.”
What?
Allison looked up sharply.
Going to his office? Wouldn’t that increase the chances of him recognizing her?!
She quickly thought of excuses to leave.
At that moment, Lucian said with a hint of a smile, “Allison, if I don’t see you after ss, you might fail
this course.”
Allison was speechless.
Why did she feel like Lucian knew something?
Finally, the ss was over.
Allison stood outside Lucian’s office, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.
The next moment, the office door was opened. Before Allison could react, the man inside grabbed her
wrist and pulled her in.
With a bang, the door was closed. Allison’s back was against the door, and she could smell the fresh
scent of the man.
The intimate scene she had with Lucian that night shed through her mind, and her face irnmediately
turned red.
Then she heard the man say coldly, “Tell me, what’s your purpose for trying so hard to get in front of
