Professor Sam had his reading glasses on and was studying the contents of a book. He didn’t raise his head. “Can’t you see for yourself? Come in, girl, don’t just stand there like a fool”. Jane had hoped to be able to learn from him today but she didn’t dare to voice it out. Instead, she scurried to clean up the office. Professor Sam was strict and harsh with his students; he didn’t suffer fools, especially those who thought to waste his time. She had been his assistant for more than six months, and I’m that time, he had made one thing perfectly clear to her: Keep your mouth shut and make yourself useful. “How is your English, girl?” Professor Sam asked suddenly, placing down his book. Jane practically shot to her feet, “Passable”. Professor Sam wasn’t a man to tolerate ambiguous replies like that, so he tossed two documents at her. “Are you up to it? If so, translate them for me within the next two weeks”. Jane scanned the documents, “Don’t worry, Professor, I’ll do my best to
Selene looked him up and down — his casual style of dressing, his gentle demeanor, his soft pleasant voice — while thinking of how he rarely ever spoke to her. Her heart gave a small flutter. “It’s nothing”, she said demurely, “We were just having some fun with Jane”. Jealousy surged through Yashi at the sight of Darren Leister standing next to Jane. Her face twisted in savage fury. The nerve of that wh*re, to try and steal the man she liked. “Stop doing this injustice to yourself, Selene”, then she turned to the two men, “We were confronting Jane about her scheming intentions”. “She knocked into Selene first without apologizing. She’s an ill mannered bas*ard child with no parents and she has been living off the Harrisons for years, but is bullying Selene behind their backs!” Brock Davenport and Yashi’s mothers have been bosom friends for a long time. Naturally, this made them siblings of some sort. Brock and Darren’s foreheads creased in exasperation at Yashi’s antics.
She made them both sound like dogs. “Watch yourself, Jane “, Selene gritted out, scowling. “You agreed to it before we watched the security footage” “That was between you and Yashi. It has nothing to do with me”. “What happened to being good friends with Yashi?” Jane taunted coldly. “She was trying to have your back, and now you’re calling her a trouble maker, is that it?” “What are you talking about? I never said that!” Hatred swelled in Selene’s heart, she hadn’t anticipated that Jane would go so far as to drive a rift between her and Yashi. No matter what, she couldn’t let her come between them both now. “Fine, I promise”. “Heard that?” Jane asked Yashi, “And you two had better remember it”. “You…” Yashi was furious enough to seize the little bi*ch by the throat and throttle her to death. “Remember your manners, Yashi”, Brock cut her off. “Is this how auntie raised you?” “Brother…” Yashi’s hands balled into fists, boiling with murderous hatred. “Brother…” Darren mimi
As they were walking to the school gate, Jane and Brock had been looking over the documents that Professor Sam had asked her to translate, to see if he could help her.She had been too fixated on a few parts she couldn’t decipher, forgetting her bearings and nearly tripping but Brock had reached out and steadied her.Brock could almost feel his palms tingling with her scent. Keeping his face neutral, he asked, “Are you alright?”“I am”, Jane kept the documents away, “When I’m done, can you help me look over them? My translation might not be the most accurate for technical terms”.“Of course”, Brock nodded. That gentle, polished smile of his was like a breeze in springtime. Jane had heard Ivy rave constantly about how handsome he was, but now she saw for the first time how attractive her mild mannered senior really was.“This way, Young Mistress”Bruce had been watching them chat happily with a mounting sense of dread, Jane looked up at him with bright, starry eyes. He could feel a cold
Breathless and weak in the knees, Jane could only bat uselessly at his firm chest. Just as she was beginning to feel smothered by the kiss, he broke away and released her.He exhaled a warm breath, belying the ice in his voice, “Remember Jane, I am your husband, you’re not allowed to kiss anyone but me and only I am allowed to kiss you!”Gasping, Jane took a moment to calm her nerves and regain her senses. His warning left her stunned.“What’s the matter with you, dear?”She didn’t understand how her husband, who had always been gentle and considerate towards her, had suddenly transformed into someone completely different.Bruce watched them, the Young Master was finally going to let his mask fall away and reveal his true colors; the icy, brooding paranoia simmering beneath the surface. If Jane couldn’t bear it and the two of them clashed, it would only lead to disaster — screaming ruinous disaster.Ethan forced down his emotions, like the sheathing of a cold, sharp blade. “I missed y
She stared up at him with wide glittering eyes, fire blooming in her heart. Their eyes locked in the dim light and the rest of the world fell away. His hand caressed her cheek and he lowered his head slowly. Their lips were a breath away when a phone ringing interrupted them abruptly. Startled back into reality, Jane broke away, red faced, and answered her phone. “Jane, you idiot. Why did you tell our senior about your marriage? I know you hate it when I nag at you, but I’m just telling the truth”. “After that sick husband of yours dies, you’ll still be untouched, so what’s stopping you from being with our senior? You’ll have better prospects, a better home to return to…” In her haste, Jane had accidentally pressed the speaker. Ivy’s voice blared out, her chatter reaching Ethan’s ears. Shocked at her friend’s words, Jane cast an apologetic glance at Ethan before shutting off the speaker. “You’ve told me all this before, Ivy. He’s my husband, stop talking about him like that”.
After sending the message, Ethan glanced sideways at Jane. She was truly a beauty and a spirited one at that. It was no surprise that she would have some admirers in university, but if anyone dared to try and take his woman away from him, they were as good as courting trouble.Jane had been studying the documents intently. Out of the blue, she exclaimed.“It turns out that a man’s private area full of nerves, making it incredibly easy to get an erection. How fascinating…”Ethan was speechless.Jane was examining the information purely through the lens of a medical student, with nothing indecent in mind which is why she didn’t give her words a second thought.But then, she noticed the way her husband was staring at her and was faced with the sudden urge to bite her tongue off. Her husband couldn’t engage in sexual intercourse so this must be a sensitive topic for him, she must have wounded his pride with what she had said. She laughed awkwardly, trying to break the tension.“Are you t
Breathing in her scent, Ethan was taken aback by how his self control had practically crumbled before him. If he didn’t do something, she would surely notice his body’s reaction. “Let me do it myself”, he said, his voice rough.Jane immediately got to her feet. Her heart was still thundering against her chest and her breaths came hot and heavy.When he tried to pull on his pants, it seemed like his legs were giving him trouble so she extended a hand to help him. He eyed her and she said solemnly, “I said I would take care of you and I mean it”.She still remembered what it was like to take care of her grandmother in the hospital. It didn’t make her current situation easy by all means, but it did make it easier.“Dear, don’t feel abashed or humiliated. I am your wife, this is nothing unusual”, she added, thinking that he was trying to preserve his dignity.Her voice was soft but her actions were firm as she helped him pull on his pants, Ethan stared at her, his eyes smoldering.“I’m g
