Secret Novelty [ON-HOLD]

Chapter 15

//Janella's POV//

"Have lunch with me here. I'll order us some foods. I don't take no as an answer."  She said with a straight face. I just looked at her while I'm thinking for an excuse.

As what I said before, it's very sus. Ayaw ko na maissue kami, especially dito sa university? Mabilis lang kumalat ang chismis. Hindi ko rin naman gusto na paghintayin pa si Coln because for sure papunta na 'yun dito.

Bahala na nga.

"I'm sorry if I have to decline that Miss. My friends are already waiting for me at the cafeteria. But thank you though." I then said to her but I noticed that her aura changed. Her looks became sharp and cold habang naka halukipkip.

She then let out a deep sigh before responding to me. "Alright then. I don't want to force you doing the things you're not comfortable with. But please do have lunch with me if you have time." She said in a apologetic tone. I was surprised when she said " please"

The world is actually healing!!

"Sure, Miss. Is there something that you want to talk about in our class?" I coldly respond to her. "Nothing in particular. I just want to know you mor— I just want you to know about how sincere my apologies were. I just want to smooth a crumpled paper." I saw how her face lost its composure a little and I don't know why. Her facial expression became softer, her eyes showed sincerity, awe, and probably guilt? I can also see a hint of longingness for I don't know why.

Well, as if I cared that much about her. Whatever that was, whatever the reason she had, that sudden reaction, I don't really give a damn. I don't know her. And for sure, she doesn't know me conpletely as well.

And that's the goal. Only me, myself, and I should know myself completely.

While looking at her intently with my cold feature, I then sighed before grabbing my phone in my pocket.

I looked at her while calling Coln's phone.

She looked confused, she gave me a questioning look but less bitchness.

"Coln, I'll eat with you guys some other time. I have an important meeting. Good bye" Coln just agreed and he also texted me to update them when I'm done.

While talking to him on the phone, I can see her flustered face looking at me in awe. I noticed she swallowed a lump in her throat, in which made me smirk.

Napa titig naman siya sa akin. Marami akong nakitang dumaan na emosyon sa mga mata niya. I mentally pat myself on the back for doing the job well done again for making people feel my intimatading superiority.

I mentally chuckled. "Ms. Nueves, my time is all yours." I said with a resting bitch face.

Tila na bigla ata siya sa sinabi ko at hindi ko alam pero napandin ko na kanina pa niya nilalaro ang ballpen niya. Kita ko rin na napahigpit ang kapit niya dito at sabay dahan-dahan na ibinaba.

Tumingin ulit siya sa akin na tila kumalma amg sistema niya. "A-alright then. Wait for me I'll just go to the restroom. H-here, you can order anything you want." She then handed her phone and sprinted into her bathroom.

All I can say that this professor is really something. I also noticed that she unconsiously stuttering while she speak. Her hands were kind off shaking while handing me her phone.

Instead of ordering, I waited for her instead. I don't want to be rude.

"Did you order your food?" She then spoke behind me. I shook my head. "Not yet, miss. I was waiting for you. I don't want to be rude." I coldly replied. Her aura changed. There's not hint of emotion in her eyes and on her body language anymore.
