You & Me ; Towards Our Forbidden Future [THE LEGACY: BOOK 1]

Chapter 60

Deepa came out of the bathroom, put the towel to dry, and then sat on her bed, untying her dense hair. She combed it again and braided it neatly, her fingers moving deftly. As she worked on her hair, her gaze fell upon her phone lying on the bedside table.

She picked it up, her mind working overtime. She unlocked the phone and opened WhatsApp, searching for a particular contact. Her heart skipped a beat as she found the name she was looking for – Anil Sir.

Deepa's fingers hovered over the screen, her mind in turmoil. Suddenly, a tiny devil and angel appeared on her shoulders, each one trying to outshout the other.

"Don't do it! It's a recipe for disaster!" the angel warned, its voice stern and cautionary.

"Come on, it's just a harmless message! What's the worst that could happen?" the devil countered, its voice sly and persuasive.

Deepa's eyes darted back and forth, her heart racing with hesitation. The devil and angel continued to argue, their voices growing louder and more insistent.

Finally, Deepa took a deep breath, shook off the noisy duo, and typed out a message. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, and before she could change her mind, she hit send.

[Let me know when you're free. I want to treat you to a meal.]

As soon as the message was sent, Deepa's face turned bright red. She put away the phone, jumped onto the bed, and covered her head with the blanket.

"Why did I just do that?!" she wailed, her voice muffled by the blanket. "Now I know why students don't invite their teachers for meals... It's quite... A TORTURE!!!"

How is she gonna have a good time with him?

He is too old to be her peer and they both talked about whatever they have to say that day...

"It's gonna be so awkward...."

She buried her head in the pillow.

At the same time.

City D, Noble Valley.

Anil was still working in his study room. Today he has two major associations to deal with. One is the collaboration with Augustines which he had discussed with his father and decided to proceed with it.

The next one was the association with Valentiano Group. Ethan Gabriel Valenciano has came to meet him today. This is also a very beneficial corporation for them.

So he is going through the files about the Valencianos and deeply studying it.

Suddenly a notification sound rang. In the quiet room it was really like bell waking him up from his busy world.

He took his phone and glanced at the message.

The sender's name surprised him a bit.

[Dr. Deepa]

He opened the chatbox and saw her message.

"Let me know when you are free. I want to treat you to a meal"

He didn't think much about it and typed two letters.

[Ok.]

.

.

Deepa who was still laying on her bed while holding her phone and thinking whether she should delete the message or not, sat straight when she heard the notification.

[Ok.]

Deepa was immediately displeased when she saw it.

Will he lose gold if he typed a bit more?
It's annoying to look at these tiny messages.

She hates them the most.

The people in her contact are her closest people. So their chats are always warm and long.

The old men in her contact like her father and professors always send long messages.

So she is really displeased by this cold reply.

Just then, another notification came up.

She checked it in expectation.

[Sleep]

This annoying old man!!
