Dexie frowned and asked in amazement, "When did I run away from you?"
"A few minutes ago, you agreed to have dinner with them. However, the moment you saw me, you left."Dexie was speechless.She had noticed Luke Huxley's unhappiness because she didn't want to see him and had left to avoid putting Shaun and his team in an awkward position.She had done it for herself."Mr. Dawson, I have things to do that are unrelated to you."Dexie suppressed her anger and spoke to him in a friendly manner. Not only did she not want to confront Shaun, but she also refused to share a meal with Luke Huxley.She still vividly remembered the unpleasant scene in the mall. She wasn't confrontational and didn't want to cause trouble."School hours have ended, and all the students have gone to dinner. Why do you need to hurry? Why is it so important that you must miss dinner to help? Luke Huxley spoke to her as calmly as possible, and shortly after, he took out herAfter exchanging a glance with Luke Huxley, Dexie reluctantly got into the car. With Warry already in the front seat, Dexie had no choice but to sit in the back with Luke Huxley.As soon as the car door closed, the driver placed an insulation panel between the front and rear seats for privacy.Dexie rolled her eyes at the unnecessary gesture, arguing that they didn't need privacy because they wouldn't do anything inappropriate. Luke Huxley noticed her reaction, and as he looked at her profile, his lips twitched involuntarily. Why are you staring at the insulation panel? Are you thinking about something indecent?Luke Huxley stifled laughter as he spoke. When Dexie heard his voice, she snapped out of her reverie.She turned to look at Luke Huxley and saw him chuckling. She was surprised, since she had never seen him smile before. He always had a sullen look and never joked around. She had assumed he had a difficult time smiling.She felt that he had c
Luke Huxley smiled and interrupted her. "How could I act out the indecent scene alone?""Do you agree with me that getting involved will deepen your understanding?"Luke Huxley deliberately emphasized her participation; his look was seductive and playful.Although Dexie was a virgin, she had read a couple of novels and knew what she was referring to. She was quoting the words she had used with him a while ago.She heard a click, and Luke Huxley's belt unbuckled. The waistband of her pants dropped a little, exposing her black boxers. Startled, Dexie lost her composure. Panic set in.She tried to walk away but realized she was trapped, with no space to move. She knitted her eyebrows, looking more anxious."Luke Huxley Dawson, don't come any closer!" she exclaimed."You were the one who wanted a deep understanding, but now you're asking me not to come closer to you. What exactly do you want me to do?"Luke Huxley narrowed his eyes and lifted her chin with his fingers, bringing her closer
Dexie was trying to organize her thoughts and calm down when Luke Huxley apologized to her. This surprised her.It had never occurred to her that a haughty man like him would notice that he had offended her and would even apologize to her.She had calculated that after he had taken advantage of her, he would tell her that she should consider herself lucky that he would be intimate with her.However, he then looked at her with compassion.Even if he hadn't done that, she had never expected him to apologize to her!"I am glad that Mr. Dawson has realized that his actions were offensive. I hope this doesn't happen again."She looked down and pretended to straighten her clothes, but she was trying to hide the discomfort within her. She then paused for a moment when a thought crossed her mind."Professor Qwentin hasn't been feeling well, so I'll take over his work from now on," she stated.After regaining her composure, she lifted her
Warry clasped his hands together and smiled warmly at the onlookers. He continued, "But please be aware that the seat next to Mr. Dawson is reserved for Mrs. Dawson. No one else should sit there."One person responded, "Of course, why would we take Mrs. Dawson's seat?"Sitting next to Mr. Dawson, their boss, would be uncomfortable for anyone. Despite rarely seeing Mr. Dawson, his demeanor clarified that he was difficult to get along with. Naturally, they preferred to keep their distance from him.Warry's expression was unreadable as he gestured with his hand. "You may not understand. Mrs. Dawson and Mr. Dawson disagreed recently. It's unlikely she will willingly sit next to him. When that happens."He glanced around at the group and spoke in a hushed tone, "You all know what to do, right?"The employees were momentarily taken aback but quickly nodded in understanding. "Mr. Williams, we know how to handle the situation."After everyone en
The chef's exceptional culinary skills and the appetizing presentation of the food captured Dexie's attention. Despite her hearty appetite, she maintained proper etiquette at the table. The rotating tray arranged a variety of dishes, and Dexie avoided standing up or obstructing others as she reached for her favorite dishes. However, whenever her desired dishes were out of reach on the turntable, she felt a pang of disappointment. As she quietly ate, a plate filled with her favorite dishes suddenly appeared before her.The generous portion was neatly arranged with all her favorites, and Dexie looked at the man beside her. Luke Huxley, noticing her curious gaze, spoke up." Professor Dexie, I noticed that some of your favorite dishes were out of reach, so I gathered them on a plate for you. Consider it a token of appreciation for guiding our researchers. Your help saved us time and enabled us to successfully develop a new drug," he explained.Luke Huxl
Through the rearview mirror, Warry watched Luke Huxley climb onto the car. He gritted his teeth and sighed, wondering about Mr. Dawson's intentions towards him, as he felt like nothing more than Mr. Dawson's lackey. Mr. Dawson, a wealthy man, seemed to take out his frustrations on Warry, his poor and helpless assistant, because of his inability to win back his wife's love. After the successful development of a new drug by Life Beneficial Technologies, it was time for clinical trials, during which Dexie's participation was not required. Meanwhile, Dexie had Roy monitor her research institution, making her feel more at ease. After class, Dexie received a call from Rodel, who expressed a desire to meet and discuss something important. Although Rodel's tone seemed normal, Dexie sensed that there was more to his request. Realizing her birthday was approaching, she suspected Rodel might be eager to gain her share. Dexie agreed to meet Rodel at a cafe behind Johnston University in half a
Dexie's stoic demeanor infuriated Rodel. He knew that trying to evoke emotions from Dexie would be futile and could result in mockery. Therefore, he stopped attempting to appear affectionate, and his true nature shone through, making him seem more like a scoundrel. Dexie found it difficult to interact with Rodel. She understood the purpose of the meeting but was in no rush. She took a teaspoon and stirred her coffee slowly.Rodel wasted no time in speaking. "I heard you're now a professor at Johnston University, teaching second-year medical students?" he asked.Dexie picked up her coffee cup and took a small sip. "Yes," she replied.It was no surprise that Rodel knew. He probably learned about it from Roxane on Dexie's first day at Johnston University. But not from Dexie. She understood why Rodel felt the need to bring it up.Shortly after, Rodel sneered coldly. He could barely conceal the disdain he felt for Dexie; it was evident in the way he
“Mr. Domino, why does he have Alzheimer's when he is not old yet?" Dexie raised her hand and pointed to her head, continuing, "Stop daydreaming. It's terrible for the brain. How will your useless family members behave if you're old and only daydreaming? The family that depended on you?"Dexie laughed lightly as she spoke and then turned around, walking away from him. "Dexie! Dexie!!" Rodel Domino shouted, but Dexie did not turn back to look at him.Rodel sat back down in his seat, feeling angry as the other people in the cafe started giving him strange looks. He had never imagined that Dexie would not take him seriously, especially considering the reputation of Johnston University.If the public found out that the dean of Johnston University had accepted a bribe and allowed a 20-year-old girl with only a high school diploma to teach in the Department of Medicine, it would surely attract attention in the education sector. This could have serious
