LIVING WITH MY TEACHER - CHAPTER 73&74
#Unedited
*
Josephine snapped out of her imagination and she hugged Pascal immediately, she started crying on her shoulders.
“I’m sorry babe” she said crying.
“Can you stop crying, please?” he hugged her tightly.
“I’m sorry” she said again, and he broke the hug.
“What are you saying sorry for exactly?” he asked, and she swallowed.
“You…. were beaten by the police, Laurent framed you up because of me, I’m very sure he’s behind this” she stuttered slightly, and he smiled.
“It’s not your fault, I’m ready for this battle” he smiled, and she gave him an intense stare.
She hugged him back, and he hugged her.
“Do you talk to your father?” he asked.
“Yes, I convinced him to release you”
“And he did? That’s strange” he said and she swallowed, avoiding his eyes.
“You are not hiding something from me right?” he asked and she swallowed hard.
“No” she smiled.
“Are you hungry?” he asked, and she looked up.
“I’m hungry for you” she said, and he smiled.
“Let’s go to the bedroom, you need a bath” he said and carried her up, throughout the walk to the bedroom, she avoided looking into his eyes.
He dropped her and she started going into bathroom.
“Are you sure you are okay?” he asked from behind.
“I’m fine”
“Should I bath you?” he asked.
“No, I will do it” she replied and stepped into the bathroom.
He felt something was weird but he waved it away and sat on the bed.
Josephine had tears in her eyes even before she stepped into the bathroom, that’s the actually reason she didn’t look at him before entering the bathroom.
She soaked herself in the bathtub as her tears kept streaming down.
Her heart was hurting badly, and she felt bad lying to him. Pascal is smart and it’s easy for him to detect things.
She remembered the deal she made with him, and tears came out more.
FLASHBACK*
“You are going to break up with him, you will leave that house, I’m going to get you another house. You are getting engaged to Laurent very soon” the chairman said, she swallowed hard.
She looked up with teary eyes and faced the serious face of his parents.
The situation before her isn’t a small one but she has no option but to save him, she can’t stand him going to jail for something he’s not aware of.
“I will do it” she said, her heart started breaking immediately she said that, and tears poured out of her eyes.
She stood up and rushed out of the mansion.
END OF FLASHBACK*
Tears upon tears came out of her eyes as she finished remembering the most toughest decision of her life.
How would she break the news to him? He really loves her and this would break her but this is the only reason her father will let go of the case.
What is she going to do? She will not only hurt him but herself too.
Why wasn’t he born rich?
“I wish I was born poor, why do my first love have to be like this?” she cried harder in silence. Why is this happening when she finally find her happiness? The right guy for her, why can’t her parents understand? This is the man she wants.
Is a curse to come from a rich family now. She doesn’t want to go against her feelings but he would have Pascal arrested immediately she breached the deal she made with him.
Her eyes were red and snort started coming from her nose, she was in a horrific tears. Her heart was in deep pain, even to look into his eyes is making her more guilty. This isn’t what she planned for her love life but everything is going astray.
She kept crying till Pascal’s voice brought her back.
“Joseline, are you okay I’m there?” he asked worriedly.
“I’m… fine” she replied, and started washing her face.
“It’s over thirty minutes now”
“I’m coming baby” she said.
A minute later, she stepped out of the bathroom, and he faced her. He noticed her puffy eyes.
“You cried?”
“I couldn’t help it, I didn’t imagine you could be framed what you didn’t do” she lied, and smiled.
“Stop worrying about me” he stood up from the bed, and pulled her to the bed.
He laid her on the bed, placing her head on his chest.
“I hope you would forgive me” she said.
“What’s that?” he asked.
“Nevermind” she said, placing her head on his chest.
“Don’t think about anything, just think about me” he said and she nodded.
He kissed her forehead tenderly, hugging her to himself.
CLARA’S ROOM*
Clara finished having dinner, and she went upstairs to her room. She was in bed when her phone vibrated, and she checked to see a text. She smiled opening the message.
She read the message and looked up with a degrading smirk.
“She’s an eatery owner, so poor, sunrise eatery” she said.
“She’s not even someone important, she can’t take Landon away from me” she said and dropped her phone.
She took her phone and called Landon but he didn’t answer the call.
She kept trying but he didn’t pick any of her calls.
“It’s all her fault” she frowned.

A CAFE*
Julius walked there with two warm coffee cups in his hands. Mindy looked up and they smiled.
He offered one to her and she took it. He settled down and they started drinking the coffee.
“Wow, it’s nice” she smiled after tasting.
“I told ya, it’s the best around” he smiled.
“It’s always a vibe hanging out with you since I don’t usually do that with my bestie”
“Are you in a misunderstanding with her?”
“No, we are still bestie, we love ourselves, just that we are both busy and she has a boyfriend now but we still hang out but not frequently like before since I started working in the company, I was a free bird before” she winked.
“You have a cute wink” he smiled and she looked away slowly.
“Do you need another cup?” he asked.
“no, this is enough” she replied.
“We should go home” she said after they were done with the cups.
They stood up and walked out of the cafe.
“Julius” a lady called and he turned.
“Rose” he smiled brightly, and the lady rushed to him.
She hugged him and a frown appeared on Mindy’s face, why’s she hugging him that way? Her frown deepened when she pecked him on the cheek, the most annoying part was that he kept smiling.
“How are you?” the lady asked.
“I’m fine, Rose” he replied.
“Since how many years now?” she said.
“A long time, you have grown so beautiful”
“Same to you” she smiled.
“Can I have your number? Oh! I didn’t bring my phone” she said.
“Put your number here” he gave her his phone.
She took it from him and typed her number.
“Who’s she?” Rose pointed at Mindy.
“Oh! She’s my friend and my boss’s daughter”
“Hi” Rose waved at Mindy but she ignored her.
“See you around” she said, and he smiled at her as she walked away.
He walked to the car, smiling but his smile fell when he saw the look on her face.
“Mindy”
“You shouldn’t have brought me here if you were going to ditch me for her” she snapped.
“I’m sorry” he apologized.
She left him and entered the car. He sighed and entered the car.
“I’m sorry for keeping you here, she is an old friend and I was excited to see her” he tried explaining.
“Is that why you introduced me as your friend?” she asked.
“Yes, you are my friend and my boss daughter”
“Is that what you only see me as?” she asked.
“I don’t understand”
“What else do you see me apart from your friend and being your boss’s daughter”
“You are like a sister to me..”
“What!!” she shouted, and he flinched.
“Your sister?” she snapped angrily, looking at him with fire eyes.
“Mindy…”
“Take me home now” she said coldly.
“I’m sorry if…”
“Take me home, please” she cut him off, and he sighed.
He looked at her but she wasn’t looking his side. He started the car.
