Professor F

Chapter 84

"I don't discuss these matters while at work, Engineer. If you'll excuse me." August stepped forward

when Flynn discreetly grabbed her hand.

"I've waited all these years for things to work for us, August." He whispered. "I can't let you slip away

this time. If I have to beg or go down on my knees to get you back, I would." He said as he moves to

bend his left knee but she panicked and screamed.

"NO!"

The people in front of them turned to see her holding Flynn's arms with both of her hands and trying to

pull him up. She blushed, feeling embarrassed and saw Charlie's mouth dropped open.

"What's going on?" Engineer Lancer asked her with a creased forehead.

She lets go of Flynn's arm as he smoothly fixed his coat. "Sorry. It's my fault. Shall we head back and

have lunch?"

The people agreed and she sighed soundly while waiting for Charlie to scold her. "What was that all

about?" He asked, more curious than upset.

She forced a smile. "N—Nothing. Just talking about what was discussed by Engineer Lancer."

"You seem close though. And I happen to see this on the file they sent earlier today." He opens his

tablet and showed her a file of photos she took five years ago.

Augustine P.

Those initials were below each photo taken. "Did you work with him when you were still his student?"

"Uh—yes. Something like that. And he's a regular at the coffee shop I used to work at."

"Ah, that explains it then. Come on. I'm starving."

Oh, dear God! I thought I've already graduated from this!

Just a week ago, she lectured Gabi's older brother about lying to people and here she is, doing the

same thing over again because of the same person!

Is this some kind of refresher course?! Or more like a back subject?!

••••••

It's seven in the evening.

Despite the busy hours at work after visiting the site earlier that day, she still remembered Flynn's

invitation to have dinner.

I'll be waiting.

She can't help thinking about his face saying those words. She wanted to see him and ask questions

she had from five years ago. But she's not ready to know the answers just yet.

She walked out of the building with her confused mind, still unable to decide whether to go or not. Her

phone started ringing and saw Gabi's name on the screen. She answered the call as she waits for the

elevator to reach her floor.

Let's have dinner. I'm on my way to your building. Harry's driving. I'll have him drive your car back to

the dormitory. I'll see you at the parking lot.

invitation after all because of Gabi.

She goes straight to the parking lot when she saw someone standing next to her parked car. Her

forehead creased suspicious of the man until he lifts his gaze up and met hers.

Flynn! She gasped seeing him.

"Can we talk?"

"W—What makes you think I still want to talk?" She holds her ground.

He takes a few steps towards her. "Didn't you understand what I said earlier today?"

"Are you threatening me?"

"There's no reason for me to do that. Because I know you want answers. I saw it in your eyes from that

night and I still see it now." He holds her arms gently. "And there's one thing I know you've always

wondered since, especially that night." He looked into her eyes as he cupped her face in his hands.

"I've always loved you, August. I love you then... and now."

Her body was stiff and her eyes started to shake, filling in tears. He moved his face towards her and

kissed her lips. He was patient and gentle, his arms gently holds her small waist to pull her closer to

him. His expert tongue slowly touched hers as she slightly opened her mouth.

With that, she lost all her self-control as she responded passionately. Her hands rest against his broad

chest, feeling his warmth and heart beating through his clothes.

"August?"

Her eyes opened wide and she went pale hearing Charlie's voice calling her. Flynn's hands didn't left

her waist as she turned to see the shocked expression on Charlie's face when he saw who's with her.

"And—" He gasped recognizing Flynn. "E—Engineer Ferguson?"

A car stopped next to them and the window rolled down. "August?" Gabi's confused face greeted them,

looking at her then the man next to her. Gabi's mouth dropped, blinking twice after scratching her eyes.

"Oh my God! Are you, perhaps, Prince Flynn?!"

August felt her heart skipped a beat. How in the hell would Gabi know Flynn?! He didn't like publicity!

While her mind is busy processing everything and thinking of excuses or believable lies to each one

who caught her kissing Flynn, she heard someone clearing their throat. She looked and saw that

annoyed face. "Excuse me. I have a plane to catch. Are we having dinner or what?" Eunice asked after

she stepped out of the back seat of a black heavily tinted car parked next to hers.

Why is she here?! Is he having dinner with her if I insist on rejecting him?! She looked at Flynn. What

the hell is going on?!
