Harry's POV
I still continued my class even though she's still at the back of my mind. This is my fault. All my fault. If I wasn't let my anger manipulate my mind, this couldn't even happen.
Wherever she is, I hope she'll forgive me.
I will find her.
My class ended and I was fixing my things as the students were going out of the room when someone poked me from behind. I turned around,
It's Gino. My student
"Oh hey, Gino. What can I help you?" I asked and smiled
"Sir. Sorry for interrupting but I was just wondering maybe I can invite you to my birthday party at my place tonight?" He said
I was thinking twice if I should go or not. I still have to find Jennifer
"Sir, you're my favorite professor here and it will mean so much to me if you'll come and join us." He said
Gino's a bright and good student. I should come to his party
"Oh yeah yeah sure. No problem. I'll come." I said smiling as I playfully smacked his arm
"Yes!! Thank You, Sir!!" He said so happily as I shook my head while smiling.
He went out of the room as I continue fixing my things when I heard someone knocked on the door.
I turned back, hoping that it was her but I was wrong.
"Jen."
It just came out of my mouth
But it wasn't her. It was Dr. Valentina Farrera. My co-professor at this University. She was studying here too when we were in college and she was one of the girls I used to date...
But she just started her work here last week
"What?" She narrowed her thick eyebrows
"Oh uh, nothing.." I said trying to cool down and smile
"Okay.." She said chuckling
"What can I help you, Dr. Farrera?" I asked
"You're so formal, Harry. Come on, it seems like we never knew each other.." She said smirking. I just smiled,
"Sorry, Dr. Farrera, but we're inside of this University and I think we have to treat each other like co-workers and not old friends.." I said
The smile on her face suddenly faded away
"I just got here Harry, am I not welcome to you? I just want to talk to you, that's all. Why are you making this hard?" She said
I then noticed that I was too much because I was thinking so bad about Jennifer. I'm getting stressed
I took a deep breath
"Okay okay.., uhm, I'm sorry, Valentina. I knew I was too much." I said and smiled. She smiled too and gave me a nod,
"You're forgiven." She said smiling as her eyes roamed down to my hand
"I assume that you're single?" She asked
"What made you think that?" I narrowed my brows
"Well first, you don't have a wedding ring. Second, You never mentioned any girlfriend in your life." She said
I looked at my finger as I sighed hard,
"I'm not married, Dr. Farrera. But I have a 4-year-old daughter." I said
