All Chapters of MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

It was the weekend and I knew the bars would be filled to the brim. I had no idea how I'd get in but I hoped the bouncers would be more 'receptive' to women. Finding a spot to park was the hardest. I couldn't find a single parking space and had to do that 2 blocks down and away from the bar. I literally ran all the way there and stopped when a crowd seemed to block the entrance. "Dude's got a fucking hook." One dude said to the other and my heart raced against my chest. I was hoping Jack was seated in the corner watching people fight and playing the role of a commentator. I had to push a few people to get to the front line and when I got there, my jaw fell open. "Jack?" He was on top of someone, trying to pull someone off another who was being pummeled to a pulp. Calling his name momentarily distracted him and the person he'd been trying to hold off, threw his elbow against the side of his face and he stumbled backwards. "Jack!" I screamed. I had no idea what I was thinking as I t

“There’s not a lot of info on this company but here’s what I was able to work with.” I handed a file to my boss.“That’s fine. You may leave.” My brows furrowed in confusion. That was it? Ryan looked up at me and arched a brow.“Is there anything else, miss Leah?” I shook my head no and then left. I’d expected him to explain the purpose of auditing several company accounts.Ryan had me checking into companies that had no information asides the one he handed me and I wondered if Marque and Co. was interested in buying them.The company itself was doing well but I hadn’t been able to lay my hands on those details.You’d think the financial details of a bank would be public information, at least to the finance team but it wasn’t. Maybe the others had seen it and I hadn’t yet.I asked David and he’d told me it was not yet my business.I was packing up for the day, thinking of how I should get in touch with Jack, possibly he could also help me out with Jared when I was called up to Ryan’s o

I woke up, a little disoriented and with a splitting headache. I groaned and rubbed my forehead. The bed beneath me felt too comfortable to be mine and my eyes snapped open.The bright light from outside hit me square in the face and I was almost blinded by it.I knew this place, it was very familiar, way too familiar. Jared’s place. I was in Jared’s place. How was I in Jared’s place?I jumped out of bed and ran out, hoping to catch him, even though I was completely confused as to how I was there in the first place or what had happened the night before.“J…” I couldn’t even call his name and it turned out, there was no point. No one was in anyway. I walked back into the guest room. I’d only been in there, once, when he’d been sick and I made soup for him.My phone rang with the name of the person I wanted to talk to, the only person that could explain what the hell had happened.“Hello?”“How the hell am I at his house?” I seethed into my phone.“No ‘I’m sorry for slapping you’, ‘than

It was insane how incredibly perceptive she was. I scratched the back of my neck nervously.“Yeah, something did happen.” I used to be tight-lipped about things, especially when I first started with Dr. Anne but I was at my wits end.“Tell me what happened.” I recounted the event of a few weeks and she gave no impression of judgment, in fact, the only reason I knew she was listening was the occasional nod at me, urging me to continue.“Everything is so messed up. I just recently made up with my friends, Jared on the other hand, I don’t think there’s hope. Even if there was, I probably don’t deserve it.” She took a break from writing and peered at me. My cheeks reddened in embarrassment.“I’m sorry, I know you quit and this just seems like a lot of problem-unloading.” She shook her head at me and waved it off.“It’s okay. So when did this all start?” My gaze wandered and finally settled on a painting, one of Dr. Anne and a man who seemed around her age, they looked happy together.“Leah

My face contorted in anger. Sure Ryan was calling me because I’d gone missing but I didn’t feel like seeing him yet in the moment so, I did the next stupid thing I could think of. I ran back to the toilet and I locked the door behind me, sagging against the door.It was when I turned and I realised what I’d done, Jared was looking at me with questions in his eyes and my lips parted in surprise. I had somehow managed to pull him along with me to the bathroom.My heartbeat spiked up when I heard my name being called again, Ryan hadn’t seen me yet and was still looking for me. I held my breath until his voice faded into a distance.“I’m sorry.” I whispered when I saw that he was still looking at me. I stood away from the door so he could leave, it hadn’t even been my intention to drag him along.“I promised not to bump into you, I had no idea you were coming here, Aa - I was told you don’t attend functions like this.” I said, making small talk to conquer the awkwardness that had filled th
