NovelEnglishChapter: 93
Before she could figure out why the dean had suddenly decided to show her mercy, her phone beeped.
It was a notification from WeChat. However, when she opened the message to read the news from her university’s official account, her jaw dropped to the floor. The message stated that Carlos was going to be a part-tlecturer at the university.
“Hey, Debbie, have you read the news? Carlos is coming to our school as a lecturer,” Kasie said excitedly, swinging her phone in the air as she clutched at Debbie’s sleeve.
Stunned, Debbie stared straight at Kasie and nodded absent-mindedly.

No! There was no way she would be his student. She had to cup with an excuse to ask for a leave, just until the duration of Carlos’ stay at her university.
In the doorway of the principal’s office, Debbie stared at the brown door intensely. It seemed as if she were trying to bore a hole in it with her eyes. ‘Why does a leave of more than two days require the principal’s consent?
There was no need for such requests before.
Should I simply cut the classes or go into the principal’s office and ask for his permission?” Debbie was conflicted.
Two minutes later, she knocked on the door.
Carlos was much scarier in person than Curtis. As a result, she decided that it would be easier to ask for permission for a leave from the latter than to suffer tormenting glares from the former for cutting class again.
“Cin.” Curtis had been waiting to hear from her ever since she had asked for a leave from her guidance counselor.
“Mr. Loftus,” she greeted. Curtis had just made green tea, the fragrance of which filled the air in his office.
“Grab a seat and have a taste of this tea Carlos gave me,” he said, pointing at a seat across the table.
‘Ughhhhhh… that Carlos again. Why do I have to hear his neverywhere?
And does Mr. Loftus treat everybody so nicely?”

“Mr-“
“Carlos said that someone had given him this tea as a gift. It is very hard to find this in the market. Do have a taste,” Curtis insisted before she could say more.
He poured slight sea green colored tea in a cup and placed it in front of her. Having no other choice, Debbie pulled up a chair and sat down.
The first sip crept over her taste-buds and down her throat. The tea released such a rich, flavorful aroma and tasted so wonderful that even a casual tea drinker like Debbie, fell in love with it instantly. She could finally understand why her principal had strongly recommended it.
When she emptied her cup, Curtis was nice enough to refill it for her.
“If you like it, you can take swith you.”
“No, thank you, Mr. Loftus. I actually chere to ask you for a leave from school.” She had to get it out before Curtis drove her crazy.
Curtis looked at her and then smiled at her restless and impatient behavior. However, Debbie captured something strange in his eyes. ‘What was that? A… doting look?’ She thought she was just imagining things.
