Chapter 24
I felt restless throughout the whole next day.
But when I tried to find out from Patrick, he said that Kevin was still discussing the project over there.
My anxious heart finally settled down, thinking that this matter would just pass like that. But in the evening during class, there was someone standing at the entrance of the classroom.
He was wearing a suit, with the shirt inside loosely, leaving the second button undone, hands in his pockets, standing there...
On the podium, the philosophy professor adjusted his glasses and asked him, “Are you here to attend class, student?”
In an instant, the whole classroom's attention was focused on him.
“Christina, come out.”
His deep voice carried an inherent sense of oppression.
“Your significant other caught you and brought you to school!” Katie, who was originally sleeping, was awakened by the laughter from her classmates.
But when she turned around to look for me, I was no longer in my seat.
I was under the desk.
“Looking for Christina?” the philosophy professor looked around the seats, but didn't see me, “Weren't you here during attendance just now?”
“Student, it's class time now, what's the matter...”
The philosophy professor didn't finish his sentence.
He paid no heed and took confident strides towards my hiding place.
The tall figure walked into the classroom and headed towards my seat.
“What's this scene of a domineering CEO arresting a little runaway wife?”
“The novel has come to life, and this guy is way too handsome.”
“He's so good-looking, I'd even slap myself during an argument.”
...
The classroom was filled with screams from the female students.
I hid under my desk, praying to God that Kevin wouldn't notice me right now.
Please, don't find me.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.
But then...
He walked directly to my seat and squatted down in front of me, “Still hiding?”
I covered my face with a book.
He reached out and took the book from my hands, “Not obedient, huh?”
After saying that, he grabbed my wrist and started walking outside.
“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!”
“This is driving me crazy.”
“So enticing.”
...
The classmates were screaming again.
“Student, you... you can't...” The philosophy teacher was shocked, unable to complete a coherent sentence for a long time.
“Teacher, he... he's my brother, something happened at home,” I explained to the teacher.
“Ah, what happened?”
“Just...” My mind went blank.
“The house is on fire,” Kevin helped me answer, “and little sister is needed to put out the fire.”
Me:?
“Sorry, excuse us,” Kevin said disdainfully, and in front of everyone's eyes, he bent down and carried me horizontally.
“Kevin, put me down,” I pleaded in a low voice, my face completely red.
Being stared at by so many people was truly embarrassing.
“You're already begging me so quickly?” he slightly curved his mouth, “But I prefer you to beg me later.”
“Kevin, I was wrong, really.”
I regretted it in an instant.
How could I have known that he would come back like this to rescue me at school?
Now, thanks to him, I might become famous in the entire school.
And then, when we reached the first floor, he threw me into his Maybach.
“Kevin!”
I was about to complain, but he held my head and kissed me.
I don't know how long it lasted, but he finally let go of me.
The driver in front had already circled the road outside the school dozens of times.
“Mr. Grant, where to?” the driver asked tremblingly.
Kevin raised an eyebrow and glanced at me, “Go to my place?”
“No, I want to go back to the dorm,” I suddenly felt a bit anxious, “We have room inspections every night, I can't not go back.”
He just stared at me without saying a word.
“Really, if I don't go back, I'll fail the course, I won't be able to graduate, I won't be able to find a job in the future.”
...
I made up a bunch of reasons, but he had a look on his face that said, “I see you continue to make up.”
“Go to my place,” this time his tone was extremely certain.
