LIVING WITH MY TEACHER - CHAPTER 39&40
Josephine’s eyes got locked with his after that statement, and she could detect the cunning scheme behind his voice.
He won’t be losing on both sides.
“That’s cheating, you are so cunning” She laughed, and poked her finger on his chest.
“So you are not in the deal?” He asked.
“I’m but you will stop kissing me if you don’t get the full marks” She replied, and he shook his head.
“I can’t take such chances, let’s cancel the bet” He said, and she laughed louder.
“You are afraid huh!?” She smirked.
“Let’s say I’m afraid, I’m addicted to your lips, I can’t stop kissing it, I might die” He said and she looked at him.
“Do you realize I’m your teacher and I’m older, we shouldn’t be doing this”
“We both want this so can you stop thinking about that?” He asked, staring lovingly at her.
Josephine sighed softly.
“Why do you h@?? Laurent so much?” She asked.
“I don’t know but I don’t like him around you”
“Are you jealous or something?” She questioned.
“I’m jealous when I see him around you, I just don’t want him close to you” He replied sincerely, and she looked at him again.
“Why?”
“I don’t know” He answered, looking back at her face.
“We are in the office, anybody might come in, and the lecture is still going on in your class” She said.
“Nobody will come in, and do you forget you are talking about the most brilliant student here” He bragged, making her laugh.
“You are so cute” He said affectionately, and stole a kiss from her lips.
“Kiddo, stop” She said, changing from what she wanted to say actually.
She wanted to tell him about the arranged marriage her father is planning for her but she stopped herself.
“Do you know how segzy it sounds when you Mõ@? my name?” He smirked teasingly, and her eyes widened.
“What!” She gasped embarrassingly.
“Leave my office now” She said, and he started laughing.
“Are you feeling embarrassed?”
“Leave please” She looked away from him.
Pascal pecked her cheeks and walked out of the office, smiling to himself.
“Gosh!!” She muttered, covering her cheeks with her hands.
“I’m going crazy and I can’t even say it” She said, fanning her face.
THE GIANT*
“You need to have a better sense of communication when talking with your client, don’t let your emotions take over you, you have to tolerate them, this will make you a better CEO” Mindy kept listening as her father explained how to be a good CEO, she looked at her time and sighed, he had been lecturing her for almost an hour now, and she was getting bored with it.
“Dad, can we rest for now?” She asked cutely, and he looked at her.
“You are tired already, you need to have all these things..
“I’m not taking over the company now, I already agreed to take up a position in the company, I will gradually learn, you are still young” She said, and he hit her head.
“Papa” She pouted.
“You won’t stop being silly, you can go now but get back here, don’t go home yet, I want to introduce you to some of my investors from Germany”He said, and she stood.
“Love you papa” She kissed his left side check, and walked out of the office.
“I’m free now, can’t believe I’m back to school again” She said and took her phone out.
“I think I should go on the date with him today” She muttered, and took her phone, texting Pascal. She smiled and pocketed her phone.
A door opened behind her, and Julius came out of the office.
“Mindy” He called and she looked back.
“Julius” She smiled, and he went closer.
“How are you?” He asked.
“I’m fine, just hungry” She replied.
“Let’s go to the company canteen, I’m heading there too”
“You came to deliver some papers?” She asked, and he nodded.
They walked to the elevator and entered together, it took them to the canteen floor, and the workers started making space as they saw Mindy.
“What are they doing?” Mindy asked.
“Making space for you” He replied beside her.
The workers started greeting her respectfully, and she frowned. This is the reason she rejected getting introduced to the workers but her father insisted and introduced her as the heiress to the company.
“Can you people stop treating me like a queen, I’m a worker here” She said, and the workers smiled.
She settled down with Julius and he ordered for them, it came in shortly, after they started eating.
Julius could hear some of the workers whispering about his closeness to her but he ignored it.
“Why don’t you want to take over the company yet?” He asked, and she faced him.
“I want a free life, I wish I was born poor” She said, and he gasped.
“What”
“You are unbelievable, people like us are wishing to be like you”
“You are rich, you have a car and a mansion, I just don’t want to handle responsibilities”
“You can’t run away from it, your father will surely retire one day” He smiled, and she nodded.
“I will be waiting to be your secretary then” He said, and she laughed.
“Sure, secretary Julius” She said jokingly, and they laughed.
LAURENT’S MANSION*
Laurent stormed angrily into his mansion. His face was visible with his anger. He remembered Pascal’s face and he squeezed his hand tightly.
“That brat, who does he think he’s, I can’t believe she asked me to leave instead of him, wait, I hope what I’m suspecting is not true, could she be in love with him, I need to keep an eye on them” He said.
He was about to walk to the cellar when his ?îtçh came downstairs, half dressed.
“Baby” She ran to him, and tried hugging him but he pushed her away, and started leaving to the cellar.
“What? Why are you this way, who provoked you?” She asked, walking after him.
He got there and took out a bottle, without looking at her, he left.
“His anger is scary” She sighed.
SUNRISE EATERY*
Camila served a customer and turned to go serve another one but she stopped when she saw Nathan serving him already. He bowed at the customer and walked to her.
“Nathan” She smiled.
“You have been working since morning, you need to rest” He said.
“But there are so many customers, I can’t rest even if I want” She replied, and he smiled.
“Come” He took her hand and walked away with her to the kitchen.
He made her sit on a chair, he took a white small towel and he started cleaning the sweat on her face. Her eyes couldn’t leave his face as he did that, and she found herself staring at his lips.
She swallowed hard as she kept staring.
He stopped and smiled at her, she smiled back.
“I will take over the serving” He smiled sweetly.
“But…
“Complain and I will kiss your pouty lips” He said, and she blushed.
“Just rest ok, Nathan is here, I’m an African, we are very strong in everything, even the bedroom stuff” He whispered the last part, and she looked at him.
“Naughty” She smiled.
“Eat something and rest, I will do everything with Manon, you can join us later” He kissed her forehead before leaving, taking another door.
Camila started fanning herself with her hand as she remembered his sweetness, he’s making her hot.
“My heart was thumping, he’s so sweet” She blushed.
Manon was watching everything and she couldn’t stop smiling.
“He’s the perfect one for her, my lil sister is in love without knowing, I can’t wait for their relationship to start, he’s so romantic, I wish Landon is sweet like him, I wish he treats me….
“What am I thinking?” She scolded herself.
Her phone buzzed and she checked to see a text from him.
*I haven’t seen anyone as crazy as you but you know what I like most about you, your freeness and simplicity, I love our argument tho*
She smiled after reading the message.
“This guy is something else, he loves it when we argue” She smiled.
LANDON’S PLACE*
Landon got home and when he was about to insert the key into the keyhole, a car drove there and stopped.
“Do you need money?” He asked Pascal on the phone.
“No, I’m fine, I will visit you on Saturday” Pascal said.
“I will visit you, I love you” Landon said.
“I h@?? you!!” Pascal screamed and hung up.
“That kiddo” He smiled and turned to the car. He recognized the car immediately.
Clara. The door opened and Clara came out.
His eyes widened and he didn’t know when the key fell from him. He walked to her briskly.
“How did you know my house?” He asked.
“I followed you” She replied.
“Why?”
“You are avoiding me, who were you talking on the phone with?”
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“Answer my question”
“If you want to know it was my brother, what are you doing here?”
“I saw you with another lady in K5 restaurant, who’s she to you?” She asked, avoiding his question. He moved his eyes to her.
“Are you now stalking me?” He asked.
“You refused to go out with me but you went out with her, you were laughing with her, is she more beautiful than me?” She yelled.
“I don’t have any explanation to give you, and I don’t have anything to say to you”
“Go home” He said and turned, he started going in but she went after him and grabbed him from the back, turning him around. She cupped his face and tried kissing him but he moved his lips away and she kissed his cheek.
He pushed her away immediately.
“Clara stop this, I told you I’m not interested in everything you want to have with me, if you can’t be just my friend, let’s end it, please, go home” Without looking at her again, he took the fallen key and opened the door, going in.
Clara stood there and soon broke into a loud fit of tears.
KINGS FAMILY MANSION*
Josephine got to the mansion and she went straight to the chairman’s study room. She met him there and he stopped reading when he saw her.
“Daughter” He looked up.
“Father” She replied.
“I want us to talk, father” She said.
“What is it?”
“I know you are trying to get me married to your friend’s son but I don’t have any feelings for him, I don’t love him, I can’t marry him” She said straight to his face.
“What do you know about love? My marriage with your mother was an arranged one but we fell in love with each other and we love ourselves so much now” Chairman said.
“It works for you and mum doesn’t mean it will work for me and Laurent, I don’t want to disrespect you so don’t push me father” She said.
Chairman dropped the book he was reading and stood up, walking to her.
“Show me the Boyfriend you have” He said, and she swallowed hard.
“You are twenty three, you are the heiress to Kings cosmetics, you need a man in your life”
“I don’t need you to choose a man for me, I know what I want dad” She said.
“If you want me to stop the marriage from happening then show me a boyfriend tomorrow or else you are going on a date with him tomorrow and that’s final” Chairman said, and adjusted his glasses.
“You can leave” He said.
Josephine looked at him before going out.
PASCAL’S APARTMENT*
Pascal was dressed and ready to leave for his date with Mindy.
He sprayed himself and walked out of his room. He took out his phone and started calling her but she didn’t pick up.
He started typing a message when the door opened and she came in.
“Joseline” He called but she rushed into his arms, hugging him.
He hugged her back.
“Are you okay?” He asked worriedly, and she sighed.
“Can you hug me for a minute?” She said, and he hugged her tighter.
They stayed like that for one minute before he broke the hug.
“You are okay now right?” He asked, and she nodded.
“You are dressed, where are you going?”
“Going out with Mindy” He replied.
Josephine felt a heavy load on her heart immediately he said that.
“Don’t go please” She softly said.
“Why?”
“Don’t leave me, stay with me” He replied.
His phone started ringing and he checked.
“She’s calling, I need to go” He said, and kissed her cheek. He started leaving but she rushed after him, and pushed him on the door.
“Don’t go to her” She whispered, looking at him with her cute eyes.
“Joseline”
“Please” She whispered cutely, and he looked into her eyes.
His phone started ringing again, and this time, she took the phone from him and pushed herself into him, capturing his lips.
She wrapped her hand around him while the other held the phone.
She started kissing him feverishly, and he couldn’t resist the delicious tenderness of her lips, he started kissing her back.
The phone continued ringing in her hand.
