44. DINNER
Last Updated:
2024-12-29 09:10:59Anthony put the blue folder on the table and glanced at his watch once again. Five minutes before seven. He tried to calm his worries because Shanon had not appeared at La Guardia. A waiter had just offered Anthony to pour wine into his glass. But Anthony rejected him with a firm shake of his head and sent him back to the kitchen.
Anthony wouldn't have started that dinner without Shanon. That night was special for him. Anthony couldn't wait to see Shanon's reaction that he had a new proposition that would be more beneficial to both parties. Anthony had also prepared a gift which he kept in his jacket pocket. He wanted to repay Shanon's kindness all this time with something special. A diamond, of which there were only five in the world, was the perfect gift to describe Shanon as a whole. She was a precious and very rare woman. There was no woman who had toughness and tenderness in one package like Shanon.
“Sir, would you like some wine poured?”

“Ave, we still have a lot of time to discuss it. You just woke up. I don't want to discuss family matters with you now.”“No, I want to know what's going on right now. I'm fine, Shanon. I've been asleep for three months. It made me realize how precious the time I have now is. I don't know whether I will still be able to talk to you tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't wake up again if I close my eyes.”“Tsk, what are you saying? You'll be fine, okay. Doctor Richard told me you're stable. You will return to living your life like a normal woman.”Her expression turned sad. Avery carries a huge amount of guilt towards Shanon. She had left a problem with her little sister before she fell into a coma.“Tell me what happened while I was in a coma? Where is Yvone?”“I don't know where she is now. She could be having fun with her new boyfriend and wasting money gambling.”"What about father's compa

“I hurt her.”Anthony sat face to face with Doctor Jarvis Orwell in his very quiet and clean room. He had been Anthony's therapist since Anthony experienced emotional shock after the death of his parents. It was his grandfather who took Anthony to see a psychiatrist because he saw signs of mental instability in his grandson after Anthony experienced a series of unpleasant events.“What exactly are you doing?”“I slapped her.”The old man, around sixty years old, listened to the story attentively. Occasionally he would scribble in his little book and throw some questions at Anthony to fill in his story which had too many holes."Physical abuse. Was she seriously injured and had to be hospitalized after you slapped her?”“No. But, every physical abuse I have done will leave scars. Both in her heart and on her skin.”“It's been a long time since you came to have a therapy

Shanon's thoughts were interrupted when she heard the woman start talking in front of her. Unlike her graceful, angelic appearance, the woman looked rougher when she started talking.“Hey, I'm talking to you. Tsk, why did Anthony hire a slow woman like you?”“Excusme. Who are you? Why did you suddenly come and act so impolite towards me?”The woman rolled her eyes lazily. “You rude maid. I'm here to meet Anthony.”“Yes, I know. But, who are you? I can't just put random people into Anthony's house.”“Hmm. I'm Miley Stuart. Anthony's girlfriend. Can you get out of there so I can go inside?”Miley? This woman is Miley?! Omegosh, the legend is finally back after leaving a wound in Anthony's heart?!“Hey.”Shanon gasped in surprise when Miley suddenly snapped her fingers in front of her face.“Are you deaf? Get out of my way and let me in.&

“What's wrong with your face? Why are you frowning like that?”“Nothing. I'm reading a novel, Ave.”Shanon lowered the book from her face. She looked across the room, where her sister was doing physiotherapy to train her leg muscles that had not been used for walking for a long time. Avery occasionally winced in pain when her therapist told her to step on a plank.“I see you're not really focused on your book.”“You turned into a psychic after waking up from a coma, huh?”Ms. Betty, the therapist, giggled as she guided Avery to take one more step towards the finish line.“I know everything about you, my dear sister. Your face is like an open book.”"Uh, impressive," Shanon rolled her eyes lazily at Avery, who was mocking her.“Ms. Betty, can I go back to my room? I think my leg muscles have turned to jelly.”"Okay. We'll continue again tomorrow at te

“Ugh, Sarah. I think we look like two little whores, rather than two young girls coming to a birthday party.”“I’m ok with that. Don't complain too much. Our appearance is perfect. We are two hot, sexy women. Look at us.”Sarah pulled Shanon's shoulder to see the reflection of the two of them in front of the tighty closed car window. Shanon felt that she couldn't be as confident as Sarah, who was posing sensually while showing off her curvaceous body clad in a tight maroon dress. Shanon still saw herself as a bitch beneath the tight navy dress she and Sarah had bought this afternoon after she came home from the hospital."I will make Stevan regret cheating on me."“Yeah. That dress will definitely make every man stare at you with their mouths watering.”“Thanks, Shanon. I wish Anthony was here too to see your super sexy self tonight. He should be sorry for treating you like trash.”

Just as Jordyn looked back, a fist flew straight at his chin. Shanon screamed loudly, seeing Jordyn slumped on the floor and groaning in pain.“Keep your damn hands off her.”Anthony's gaze turned to Shanon, who looked very shocked by what had just happened before her eyes. Anthony grabbed Shanon's wrist roughly and dragged her away from the bar.“You're crossing your limits, Shanon. Go home right now."“What are you doing? Let me go. Jordyn, help me!”“Shanon.”Anthony ignored Shanon's screams and her attempts to get away from him. He continued to drag Shanon out of the damn club, not caring that several of his students were there and were looking at him in surprise.“Let go of her.”“Mind your own business, Jordyn. Shanon has to go home.”“She came here with me. I'll take her home.”“No. I don’t believe you."“

“Oh my God, what is going on?” Sarah stopped dancing when she heard a commotion near the bar and Shanon's screams mixed in with the very loud music around her.She had a bad feeling and her feeling was never wrong. Sarah hurriedly left the dance floor and pushed her way through the crowd of people who were buzzing around the bar like a swarm of bees.“Excuse me, please give me a way.”When Sarah finally managed to push her way through the crowd, the fight that everyone was discussing had ended. She looked right and left to look for Shanon, but she couldn't find her anywhere."Are you looking for your best friend?"A pat on the back startled Sarah."What are you doing here?" Sarah looked at Stevan sarcastically.“Ignore your anger at me, okay? We have a situation.”“There are no more we. Tell me what happened?”Stevan sighed softly. "Follow me."Sarah finally

"Good morning all. This is our first class after summer break.”"Who is she? Why did she suddenly come into Anthony's class?” Sarah whispered next to Shanon."That's Anthony's girlfriend I told you about before. Her name..."“I'm Miley Stuart. I am Professor Anthony Bruce's new assistant.”“What the hell. That damn man wasn't joking. He even brought his girlfriend to this university to be his assistant. It's really hard to believe. Just a glance at her, I can already smell the scent of a bitch around her body," Sarah grumbled while watching Miley, who seemed to be acting friendly with the students in the front row. But a second later Sarah realized that Shanon was silent beside her.“Shanon, are you okay? Say something.""What should I say?" Shanon looked down and pretended to be reading her journal.She had no right to interfere in Anthony's affairs, but that man always interfered in her affairs an

FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 102. FINALLY MARRIED!
Her marriage was in turmoil. Shanon almost believed her wedding was canceled because Anthony couldn't come to his own wedding. Isn't that crazy? The main character couldn't attend his own wedding!Shanon was stressed about handling all the wedding preparations alone while Anthony was in Singapore to attend a damn conference which he said was very important to him. Anthony delegated all his responsibilities to Shanon and only gave a few short confirmations via telephone every time Shanon called to ask about several things related to their wedding. Anthony then asked Ben to do things that Shanon couldn't do herself because she was pregnant. Anthony promised to arrive in Boston the day before their wedding, and he asked Shanon to calm down.But, the day before their wedding, Anthony didn't show up at the airport at all. Shanon, who had been haunted by worry for weeks, tried to call Anthony to ask for clarity about his return. To her surprise, Anthony gave her some very ba

"Turn right."“No. We still have to walk straight over there.”“But I want to see the baby crib here.”"There is a baby shop that makes the best quality baby cribs there."Shanon folded her arms across her chest. Her eyes narrowed at Anthony.“Well, I keep forgetting the fact that I'm going to marry a man who bathes in a thousand dollar soap. You obviously couldn't possibly buy a baby crib at Ikea.”“Don't be so skeptical about my life, Shanon. I just want the best for my son.”“I know, I know. I'm just not used to your very wow lifestyle."“I don't like you commenting skeptically on my lifestyle. Like it or not, you have to get used to it from now on. You will live under me.”“Oh, really, Anthony. I want equality. What century do you think we live in, huh?”The two of them stood in front of the Ikea entrance and glanced at each other sa
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 100. IS IT A DATE?
“Deal.”“Nice doing business with you, Mr. Maddock.”Avery held out her hand to shake Tim Maddock's hand. They ended the meeting with satisfied smiles on each of their faces because they managed to reach an agreement on their next project. Tim Maddock then walked away, leaving Avery who still remained in the restaurant to pack up her things.“Avery? What a coincidence, huh?”Avery looked up. She just gathered the documents and put them in the briefcase. Her face lit up when she saw who had just greeted her.“Jordyn. Hey, what are you doing here?”“Umm... Lunch. Actually, it's not really lunch. I only ordered coffee because I was trying to build a good image in front of people I had just met.”“So, do you want to have lunch with me? I haven't eaten anything since just now.”"That is a good idea. You saved me from starvation. Thanks, Ave.”&ldquo
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 99. THE WEDDING PLAN
A month after the graduation party, which was full of drama and showers of congratulations from her friends, Shanon still couldn't come out of her euphoria. She welcomed the day with joy and the promise of a better future. Every morning she woke up and realized the fact that she was Anthony's fiancé. Formally. There was no secret. Everyone knew for sure that she belonged to Anthony, and vice versa. Just imagining it, her life became lighter than before. Negative thoughts disappeared in an instant from her brain."Good morning."“Hi, princess. You look really excited.”Shanon kissed her sister's cheek briefly. Avery had been sitting at the dining table since seven o'clock. She was ready in a formal suit, a black bag sat on the empty chair next to her, and she had a cup of coffee on the table.“I'm always excited. What would you like for breakfast?”“You don't need to bother making me breakfast. You prepared me br
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 98. I WANT TO SEE YOU HAPPY
I apologize....Shanon turned off her phone before she read the entire message Anthony had just sent her. Just seeing the word at the opening of the message, she could already guess that the message would end badly. Something like, Anthony couldn't be there on her graduation day and couldn't see her throw her cap in the air.“He sucks,” Shanon muttered under her breath.She squeezed her phone before stuffing it into her bag.She and hundreds of students from various departments were gathering in the main hall of the university to celebrate their graduation. Shanon had worn her best dress along with a black robe and academic cap. Avery put on light make-up and put on soft pink lipstick, which made her look even more stunning. Unfortunately, Anthony couldn't come to complete her happiness today. Though she really hoped that Anthony would come to see her go up on stage and make a speech on behalf of the hun
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 97. PILLOW TALK
“Cheers.”“Oh man, is this party necessary?”“Of course it is necessary. Let's have a toast.”Shanon lazily clinked her glass with Sarah's. Hers had apple juice, while Sarah's had beer. Her house was very noisy tonight because Sarah and Jordyn threw a party to celebrate her graduation. Shanon officially completed her master's program and graduated with the best grades. They insisted on celebrating with a party because Shanon deserved the best graduation party. An hour ago, they came to her house with three boxes of pizza, several boxes of Thai food and Chinese food. They also ordered fries and burgers. The living room table had turned into a party table with a variety of food that they couldn't possibly finish that night.“I feel like you guys shouldn't throw me a party.”Shanon looked at Anthony with a frown. Anthony had just arrived after Sarah called him to join them. Anthony didn't need to think t
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 96. KISS AND MAKE UP
“This is the time.”Shanon released her hug from Sarah. She wiped the tears dripping down her cheeks.“I'm sure you can, Shanon. Show them who you really are.”“Thank you, Sarah. You're my best friend. I wouldn't have been able to get through all of this without you.”“We love you, Shanon.”Shanonh turned to look at Jordyn. She then snuggled into his warm embrace."Wish me luck."Shanon walked into the hall with extremely impressive calm. The campus council and lecturers had gathered in the hall to test her. They were all there, except Anthony. Shanon was sad because she couldn't see Anthony this morning in the hall. But, an hour ago they had spoken on the phone. Anthony regretted that he couldn't be there for her when the campus council chewed her out. Anthony promised to always support her from afar.“Are you ready, Shanon?”“Yes, Mr. Angelo.”

“Jane Heather.”"Who are you?"Jane frowned in annoyance at finding an uninvited guest suddenly entering her room and locking the door, as if she had given her permission to do so."I'll call security to drag you away from here and report your impoliteness to—""Who? Those damn campus councils? They won't hear you. They are busy crushing Anthony and Shanon.”“Where are your manners? Call him Professor Bruce.”"Not anymore. He was no longer a professor since the rusty campus board fired him. They stripped Anthony of all his titles. Now, he is just an ordinary guy. Without any title.”"You must be kidding."“Do I look like I'm kidding now?”Jane studied the woman's face closely and she suddenly snapped her fingers.“I know who you are. You're from the economics department. You're one of Anthony's students. I see you always stick with the other woman."
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 94. LET ME GO
After disappearing from civilization for two days, Shanon decided it was time for her to face all the problems she had left hanging in limbo.For two whole days she just holed herself up in her room. She removed her cellphone battery and did not want to be exposed to the outside world in any form. Her mind created all kinds of terrible scenarios about her life and future. Avery had tried to persuade her many times to come out of her room, but she ignored her. She used two full days to think. She wanted to blame Anthony for all the problems that happened to her. Before she got involved with Anthony’s life, everything was normal. Her only misfortune was having a very cruel stepmother like Yvone.But, after she got involved with Anthony, things got out of hand. She experienced a series of events that she had never imagined before. Including the problems she was currently facing. She never thought that she would be in danger of failing to get a master's degree just b
