Megalodon: King of the Ocean

Chapter 3

Before leaving work I head into the office for a quick meeting with all the staff. The principle told everyone to meet in the conference room before heading home.

As I walk in, I find most of the staff already seated, and in deep discussion with Mr Visitor who is sitting at the head of the table.

"Take a seat Miss C, we will begin the meeting after the others arrive." Says the principal, motioning for me to join them at the table.

I quickly made my way to the last empty seat which just so happens to be next to Mr Visitor. Hallelujah! Today must be my lucky day!

I smile at him sweetly before sitting down.

The conversation at the table quickly steers towards today's assembly, and about what a well prepared speech Mr Visitor gave.

Unfortunately for me, I was too busy ogling the fine man next to me to pay attention to his speech. Taking another sneeky glance at him, my eyes zone in on his exposed arms. I noticed he has folded up his shirt sleeve to reveal his veiny and muscular arms. Holy mother of sweet Jes-

Noticing me staring, he lifts up one of his brows in question of my behaviour. I quickly turn my body away from him. Trying my best to hide my beetroot red face.

"Ok now that everyone is here, I would like to start this meeting off by thanking Mr Lodon for taking the time and visiting us."

I clap along with the rest of the staff at the table, barely holding in my laugh. Mr Lodon!?! What kind of fucked up last name is that!?

"No need to thank me Sir. Your school and children have been very hospitable. It was my pleasure." Says Mr Lodon, waving off the complement.

"I'm glad to hear that." Replies the principle with a grin full of pride. Gross.

"As everyone here knows. Mr Lodon here is an Oceanologist, and has just opened his new lab in Point RockWall Cliff" The Principle says, kissing the oceanographers ass.

I seriously don't know why he always does this whenever we have special guests at our school.

Rolling my eyes, I join in with the rest of the staff clapping to congratulate the scientist.

"Mr Lodon has also been kind enough to offer us a tour of his new lab." Continues the principle.

Well this is a surprise. I turn to Mr Lodon with high eyebrows.

"Of course. I would love to have you all down at my lab. Especially after seeing your interest in my speech. Isn't that right Miss C?" He says, turning to face me with a raised eyebrow and slight smirk.

Completely caught off guard I stutter in my words.

"Huh? Oh yeah. Of course."

He gives you a smirk which translates to, "I saw you checking me out, and I just caught you."

Dammit. Diverting my eyes away from him, I look at my hands resting on the table.

"If your all free tomorrow, why don't you come down to my lab and I can give you all a tour?" He asks, smiling.

Everyone nods in agreement before I am, once again, singled out by Mr Lodon.

"What about you Miss C, are you free tomorrow?"

I couldn't help but feel at little breathless at his voice. Was it just me, or did his voice drop lower?

Clearing my throat and not wanting to look like an idiot, I answer him with my fakest confident smile.
