Chapter 19.Willingness to return his favor.Adrian's POV.Ryan was getting distracted as I narrated what transpired between Me. Boston and me, he was just humming in response, something he always does when he was distracted with something so burdensome. I had to put my narration to an abrupt stop, "...... I know he was going to say I'm fired, and that's all what happened, then I said I should visit you at home before going home since I didn't see you throughout today." I said."Oh really? That's nice." He said, he didn't even notice that I didn't complete my narration and it was so annoying. Dr. Raphael is way better than him, he always listens attentively and will find me a solution, he is also so mature and I prefer speaking with him. I thought and just walked silently with Ryan, and then my thoughts rang in my head again. I shook my head vigorously, fighting with my brain to get the senseless thought off and to focus on the glaring reminder that HE IS MY LECTURER! JUST MY LECTURE
Chapter 20.Enjoying the lecture with my lecturer.Adrian's POV.I stared at Mom in astonishment, already knowing who she was referring to, "See who, mom?" I questioned her."Who? The person you're giving the flask to of course." She said and I just decided to leave her be."Okay, Mom."Just when I dropped the last spoon, I heard the horn of Ryan's bike outside. "Oh! Ryan is here, I will quickly wash my plate." I said and stood up as I picked up the plate, but Galton stopped me."I will wash the plate." He said and collected the plate from me before I could protest."Well, thank you," I said, not meaning it. I just said it out for saying the same, I was still very much mad at him. I turned to Mom, "I will just leave now."I picked up my bag leaned into Mom's face and pecked her before leaving for the door and out of the house, "Hiyaa!" I greeted Ryan and hit his arm lightly.He laughed, "Good morning to you too. You seem so excited and more beautiful this morning, what's your secret?"
Chapter 21.What's Dr. Raphael doing in the CEO's office?Adrian's POV."Dr. Raphael," I called silently in a whisper. I didn't know why I called him, I just felt the words spilling out of my lips and I kinda regretted it, though Dr. Raphael didn't stop leaning in but instead of landing his lips on mine like I thought he would, he landed it on my cheek. Damn you! I cursed myself mentally. I don't know what I was expecting, but I was swallowed with disappointment.He didn't move for seconds, he left his lips fixed on my cheek and when he moved, he leaned in more and suckled my cheek. "Oh gosh!" I gulped. Thank you, Lord, that I bathed and washed my face in the morning, else, I don't know what he would have tasted, maybe a bunch of mud. I managed to think as my head was messy, and so was my reasoning.The feeling of his lips on my cheek was so overwhelming that I couldn't help the disturbing sound that escaped from my uvula and he let go of my cheek immediately. Leaving it so hot and
Chapter 22.Adrian's POV.The voice came again, "Now, I hate that guy with her, he seems to know too much and he is obviously a competitor. Listen up whoever you are, back off, I hate sharing!" It paused for a second then continued, "Can Adrian Williams come inside the office now? I have not all the time in the world." It said and the call was dropped.I knew immediately that it was not Dr. Raphael. The Dr. Raphael I know was patient, but the person under that voice seemed impatient and nonchalant, which was so not him. Also, there was a way Dr. Raphael calls my name that made it some unique and sweet to my ears, even when he calls me Miss Williams, the sweetness is still always there, but this one seemed different, I just didn't feel anything when he called my name and Dr. Raphael had never called me with my full name, except when he first arrived in our school and was shocked by my failure."I will see him." I told Ryan. I have to see the person behind the door, who knows if he is a
Chapter 22.Him again!Adrian's POV.The voice came again, "Now, I hate that guy with her, he seems to know too much and he is obviously a competitor. Listen up whomever you are, back off, I hate sharing!" It paused for a second then continued, "Can Adrian Williams come inside the office now? I have not all the time in the world."

The Dr. Raphael I know was patient, but the person under that voice seemed impatient and nonchalant, which was so not him.

Chapter 23.Good day, messy day, and cool day.Adrian's POV.I was walking through to my room but remembered that Mom said Galton was not okay, I branched at his door, I wanted to enter, but found out it was locked from the inside, so I knocked, "I'm not in the mood Mom, I'm fine." He said from inside."I wish this was Mom! Now, get your butt to this door immediately and open it, or I will pick your lock!" I told him firmly. He was aware that I could pick locks since I had mistakenly picked our front door lock once when Mom forgot the keys in her workplace, and we were too poor to spare money for transportation fees back there."Adrian!" He called from inside."Are you opening it or what?"I heard some ruffling sounds from inside and next, the door was opened, "I didn't know you were the one, I thought it was Mom, I'm not expecting you to come back home this early." He said as he nervously scratched his head."So, you wouldn't have opened it if it's Mom right? Why are you stressing her
Chapter 24.Good time.Adrian's POV.I woke up in the morning and was with smiles, I was so happy because I spoke with Dr. Raphael throughout the night and it was just very nice and I can't help but keep on looking forward for more.I laid still in bed, ruminating on all we talked about, and how he kept on teasing me nonstop about a lot of things, he even teased me about changing my wardrobe since he said all my dresses were old, and needed to rest from stress, then he said that they are lucky to have me. I still remember how he said it, "Don't you think all your clothes are old enough to be relieved of stress? Though they are pretty much lucky to have you, because they get the chance to hug you every time, something people like us are still dreaming of doing, and still, we don't know when that dream will become a reality, I wish it soon will."I just laughed it off, and then he laughed too and said, "If you allow me, I will make that dream come to a reality tonight."I held my phone
Chapter 25.Heartbroken.Adrian's POV.I didn't argue with Ryan when he said that he would see my lecturer with me because I already knew that I would outsmart him and run away before he could notice it. So I kept my cool and just allowed him to keep on dreaming.Immediately we got to the parking lots, I jumped off the bike quickly dropped his helmet on the seat, and ran away, "Adrian!" He called frustratedly after me while I laughed but never looked back to check on him, I know fully well that he would still be on the bike, staring at me confusingly and in astonishment.When I got to a safe place, I halted to catch my breath as I still smiled. That's nice. I thought and chuckled. I put my dress in place and rearranged my hair before continuing on my journey to the Art Theater where I would be meeting Dr. Raphael.When I got to the door, I stood for minutes as I tried to cage my emotions. Now, let's do this. I thought and went into the hall.Everywhere was void of people when I entere
