Hello Professor 2

Chapter 8

"What is it Samantha?" Hestia asked Samantha when she saw her watery eyes and immediately wiped it up. "Zaki... She's... Investigating" Hestia was quite shocked but she already knew, she knows what kind of information Zaki has on her hand because she's actually the one who gave it to her secretly using her uncle's name which he agreed to.

In that way, she could control what she knows for the meantime until she is finally sure that Zaki can handle big things.

"Isn't that great?" Hestia asked Sammy with a smile on her face.

"It is... Really great."

Samantha hugged Hestia tightly and cried in her arms with so much happiness.

"I know, Hestia" Hestia has mixed emotions after hearing her name from Zaki's tongue, Hestia closed her eyes and took a deep breath maintaining her calm self. "It's been a while since I heard you call my name " she chuckled "it feels nostalgic" Zalleilia faintly smiles to herself, she felt a little sad and a little happy, sad because she feels like she made some people feel sad and happy because, at least, somehow, she knows that some people loved her before, and waited for her.

And welcomed her, wholeheartedly even though she can't remember what kind of memories they had before.

She felt valued and it touched her soul.

"Thank you" She said out of nowhere, Hestia just smiled at herself and nodded, it's like an understandable inside conversation between them, Hestia knows what she is trying to imply and express and a simple thank you is enough word to describe it.

After a few minutes, Hestia stood and left Zaki alone under the shade of the tree, she even took a glance and smiled at her as a sign of respect before she left. 

Zalleilia doesn't know how many deep breaths she already made, all she was aware of was it helps her let things out. A small and simple comforting action. She chuckled at herself when she thought of that.

"Lady Zalleilia!" One of her guards appears. It seems like he's already looking for her by the tone of his voice, Zalleilia took a glance at him and calmly stood up. "What happened?" She asked

"Miss Avery is looking for you, she said something urgent happened"

Zaki's POV

I rushed to find Avery for the message the guards sent me, I don't know what could've happened to her to call me urgently.

The program is still ongoing and everything seems to be fine, the guard led the way to a room, and there, I saw Avery.
But Avery is not alone, she's with someone, the figure is standing facing Avery and they seem to be arguing about something, I didn't think twice about walking towards them.

The room was a bit dark, and the only thing that lights up the room were from the opened windows, the curtains swayed as the wind blew, I can feel the strange tense between the two people and as i walk, I was slowly able hear the words they were saying clearly, it becomes more vivid when i get closer.

"Avery" i called her, the two stopped and that's when our eyes met.

My eyebrows furrowed when i saw the woman she was talking to, "Miss Liean?" I was puzzled at first but i can feel like it's somehow related to their relationship.

I maintained my posture and took a glance at Avery who's now looking like she's trying her best not to cry. Nilukob ako ng pag-aalala para sa kaibigan ko, hindi ko pa naman alam ang nangyari, pero di naman talaga yun ang mahalaga, there's a reason why she called me.
