Burning Desire

Chapter 2

Yvonne's eyes grew concerned and worried when she spotted the girl on the floor, and she quickly ran toward her. She checked the girl's pulse,

Yvonne didn't have time to greet Isabelle and Emma when she first entered the cafeteria since her attention was focused on the girl who was passed out on the floor.

After that, many unexpected events took place. The emergency crew arrived and quickly took the girl away. Yvonne went with them.

"Why is your aunt here?" Isabelle asked with a note of confusion in her voice.

"It's clear that she's a doctor, Isabelle," Emma explained. "I texted her, telling her that something unfortunate had taken place. Apparently, she hadn't gone too far from our school, so she arrived within moments."

Isabelle was intrigued by what she heard about Yvonne and her work as a doctor. "Whoa, she must be a good doctor, then she's very successful," Isabelle said, still amazed at Yvonne.

"Yes, she's an amazing woman who is clearly very successful as a doctor. She also seems very kind and friendly, which is a plus, don't you think?" Emma said

"What do you mean by 'plus'?" Isabelle asked curiously, creasing her forehead and raising a brow.

"Right, let's go before we're late for class," she replied, her tone neutral as she began to walk towards their next class.

During the lecture, Isabelle remained focused and attentive, writing down important points that the professor was sharing. She was quick and willing to participate in the class discussions, answering any questions the professor asked of her.

Emma was also listening to the lecture, but after a few minutes, Isabelle noticed Emma's head slowly falling, as if she were falling asleep. Isabelle nudged Emma slightly, trying to get her to stay awake.

The professor requested that the class partner up for the upcoming task. As expected, Isabelle and Emma were naturally partnered together as they had become close.

As the lecture ended, the professor turned her attention towards Emma, who was still seated at her desk.

"Emma, dear, will you stay for a moment?" the professor asked.

"Sure," Emma replied, her tone and body language revealing her lack of interest. She quickly turned towards Isabelle, telling her to remain at the café while she spoke privately with the professor.

Isabelle acknowledged Emma's request and complied, nodding her head and heading out of the university. She walked for a few moments before reaching the café, where she waited patiently for Emma to finish her private chat with the professor.

Isabelle patiently waited in line to order her drink, deciding to stick to the classic signature coffee that she and Emma had ordered the previous day as well. When her turn came, she greeted the person behind the counter and politely requested the two drinks.

"Hello, could I please have two classic signature coffees? Thank you."

"Yes, of course. What size?" the lady asked, making sure to address every detail of the order.

"Medium"

"Two medium-sized classic signature coffees then," the friendly server behind the counter requested the information.

"Uh, my name is Isabelle," she responded, offering her name and confirming her order.

"Okay, Isabelle. I'll be sure to call you once your orders are ready."

Isabelle walked over to her table and sat down, eager to enjoy her drink and wait for Emma.

Deciding to kill some time while waiting for her friend, she opted to listen to some music. The café was fairly busy, although she was glad that she had managed to score a table. She knew that her order would take some time, and she was happy to have something else to keep her occupied until then.
