Chapter 37 – Mister Speaker
Nicole’s expression leaves Kevin in a good mood. With a little smile and his long arms stretching, he drags Nicole straight into the car.
“Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me!” Nicole struggles with terror.
“Shhii!” Kevin buckles her seat belt and steps on the gas. The Lamborghini speeds up.
“You are insane! Put me down!”
Nicole’s face turns red out of anger while she shouts.
Kevin shrugs lightly and says, “Are not you rushing to class? I will just drop you off.”
“Who wants your ride? Let me get out of the car or I will jump!”Nicole wants to unfasten her seat belt.
What a jerk this man is for using his strength against a woman! Nicole despises men who bully women by brute force! Damn this seat belt! She can’t find the button!
Kevin raises his lip when he sees Nicole’s distraught look and says, “It’s in vain! This car has been modified by me. No one can unfasten the seat belt except me!”
“You… pervert!” Nicole does not even bother talking to him. She just leans over the wide, comfortable seat. Since there is a free driver, it is better to enjoy that resistance!
“East road, in front of Y University.” Nicole closes her eyes and directs Kevin. She is so tired, she has been dreaming for a whole night. Her eyelids are heavy.
It is Kevin’s turn to be speechless. This… this little woman has changed too much. Just now she did not want to take his car and now she begins to take him as a driver to command!
“What is the matter? Don’t you mean to take me to school?” Nicole opens her left eye facing Kevin, she is so sleepy that she does not bother to open two eyes if she could open one.
At last Kevin could not help laughing when he catches a glimpse of Nicole in the rear-view mirror.
“Nicole, do you have any idea what you look like?”
“You don’t like it? Then let me out!” Nicole responds as soon as possible.
“It is the motorway and we can’t park here.” Kevin drops these lines and stops talking to Nicole.
He is going to have a class at Y University in a minute and he is going to go over his speech in his head. For a moment there is silence in the car.
The car is moving smoothly and any vibration can hardly be felt. Nicole closes her eyes. Her eyelids are heavy but she could not sleep.
Sensing something, Kevin turns to look at the little girl next to him. Her eyes are closed tightly and her pale little face is with a painful despair. Snow-white teeth firmly bite the pink lips, almost to ooze blood.
What is going on? Why is her face so sad? Kevin releases a palm and pokes Nicole’s pale face with his index finger.
“What are you doing? It hurts!” Nicole is brutally stabbed by Kevin and screams. As soon as her eyes opened, tears rolled down her cheeks.
Nicole flusters away her tears. She does not want to be seen by the man next to her about her sadness.
Kevin frowns his thick eyebrows and says, “What are you crying about?”
“None of your business!” Nicole wipes away her tears, turns her head to the right and pretends to focus on the view outside the window.
It is the red light when Kevin reaches out with a palm. Nicole’s jaw is clenched and her head is crudely turned to Kevin’s side.
A pair of deep black eyes focuses on her still some red ones.
“Tell me, what are you crying about?”
“I am crying for my bad luck, meeting someone so unreasonable like you! I am sad about my own destiny!” Nicole sneers angrily. This violent maniac, who does he think he is!
Kevin is so angry with Nicole that his big hands are about to add up strength. Then he sees Nicole’s wet face and suddenly his heart is softened.
Her thin lips are squeezed and his hands pull back with suppressed rage. He slams on the brakes. Kevin’s movements leave Nicole with a wobbly center of gravity and her head is knocked on the window, which hurts a lot.
Not knowing what button is pressed, the seat belt is automatically released. The door is opened and before Nicole has any response, Kevin has left her on the busy street.
Without a word, Kevin’s Lamborghini leaves.
Nicole rubs the red jaw that is pinched by Kevin. Jerk! Nicole murmurs in her heart. This man is really the type of crazy. He picked her up and left her on the street all by his will. The world does not all belong to him! She does not all belong to him! She is not his pet! It is so infuriating.
Waving her fist at the far-away Lamborghini, Nicole looks at the time on her cell phone. It is too late! She is really going to be late! Nicole panting and running, almost breaks her leg before she arrives at the classroom before the bell rings. Far away she sees her friend Lily waving to her seat.
“Nicole, over here!” Lily saves her seat right in the middle of the front row. Nicole and Lily are both diligent and good students. They take their classes seriously.
“Lily, thank you!” Nicole smiles gratefully at Lily. Thanks to her, she could have such a good place.
“Nicole, why did you run to breathless?” Lily said.
Nicole’s little face is flushed with sweat on her nose after running. Lily hands her a packet of tissue thoughtfully.
“Don’t mention it! It has been a bad day. I have run into a jerk!”
Her words are not even finished when the students around applaud. Professor Lee comes in with a tall man. This should be Professor Lee’s favorite speaker, who is specially invited to their class today.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Nicole looks at the man with admiration. At this look, she almost jumps out of her seat!
The man wears a black suit, dark blue shirt, and a blue tie. He has a pair of deep dark eyes, with a handsome face and some beard in his face. Well, this is Kevin George!
Nicole stares at Kevin in astonishment and can’t speak a word.
“Hey, Nicole! What are you doing? You can’t move your eyes when you see the handsome guy, can you?” Lily says with a smile.
Just a Professor Lee raises his hand to signal and the class is quiet. The sound of Lily sounds loud in silence and everyone looks at Nicole.
Nicole tries to shrink under the desk to reduce her sense of existing. Her eyes peep through the drooping hair toward Kevin George.
Shit! Kevin is staring at her with intense eyes and a half-smiling expression on his lips.
Well, now that he knows it, she doesn’t have to hide. Nicole resigns, raises her head and her clear eyes, and stares boldly at Kevin. She is not afraid of him!
Kevin smiles more as he receives a demonstrative look from Nicole. ‘Nicole, we meet again!’
What Kevin has said on the podium, Nicole who has been studying so hard, does not hear a word. It is not because girls whisper everywhere around her.
“Wow, this Mr. George is so handsome!”
“Yes, he is so talented! What a good speech! He knows more than Professor Lee!”
It is because when Kevin says a sentence, he looks at Nicole’s side. His eyes are so sharp that Nicole feels a great deal of pressure even if she is sitting behind a desk several meters from him. That is the look in the eye of a fierce beast that finds its savory prey.
Hold on! I can take it! Nicole lowers her eyes and stops confronting him. Holding a pen in her hand, she scribbles unconsciously on the paper. Suddenly, an idea comes to her mind. With a bad laugh in her face, Nicole draws four comic strips in her notebook.
A fierce wolf in a black suit, a dark blue shirt and blue tie, is standing on the platform talking. The wolf’s face is Kevin’s face. Nicole learned drawing. Kevin’s defiant eyes are so vividly portrayed that the wolf is clearly Kevin.
The wolf’s face is solemn but the head circle wrote these words, “Huh, ignorant little girls, you are all attracted by the handsome appearance of mine? Ha ha, you have no idea that I am actually a monster!”
Most ludicrous of all is that the wolf’s untidy hair is painted with a big pink bow by Nicole. Nicole also puts on a three-point swimsuit for this unruly wolf, with her boisterous, gruesome gesture and her prim, gruesome face. It is so funny to look at.
Nicole looks at Kevin, the talkative guy on the stage, and the wolf, who is covered with mixed elements on the paper. Kevin, on the stage, sees Nicole looking at him, smiling again and again. It looks like she is planning something bad. He secretly mutters, “What is this girl doing? Is there something dirty on my face?”
President George, who has always been so free and never cares about anyone’s opinion, is a little confused.
When class is over, he must ask the girl about it! Kevin, glancing at Nicole who is still laughing, suddenly feels powerless.
