Because he doesn't want his aunt's whereabouts to be known, Virgo decides to leave school. It's been two hours he's been waiting for his little fairy to appear today, even though he hasn't gotten what he wants for two days, Virgo still doesn't want to give up. He promised to come back to school tomorrow morning, at the same time before leaving for his new workplace. Imperial College London, one of the best campuses in London founded by Prince Albert.
In fact, it has been three years since Virgo was asked to teach at the campus by the Chancellor of Imperial College London, but Virgo always politely refuses the request on the grounds that he still wants to expand his experience in America. Being the youngest graduate of Cambridge University makes Virgo a bone of contention for many major colleges who want to hire him, which is why it's no wonder that Virgo can easily get a job at one of the best colleges in America.
Imperial College London.
"Wo wo wo wo…look at this, who just arrived," a middle-aged man shrieked loudly when he saw Virgo get out of his car.
Seeing who the person who greeted him made Virgo smile, Virgo then continued his steps towards the stairs where the owner of the voice was waiting for him with his best smile.
"Uncle Gerry."
"You naughty boy." The man named Gerry who currently serves as one of the senior professors at Imperial College London immediately grabbed Virgo's body and hugged him tightly. "Why did it take you so long to accept an offer from Uncle?"
Virgo smiled. "I still love life in America, Uncle."
The man named Gerry immediately let go of his embrace on Virgo. "You don't have the talent to be a playboy like your best friend, Virgo. So don't give nonsense excuses that you definitely won't believe."
"I'm sorry Uncle."
"Well, never mind, there's no need to discuss it anymore. The important thing is that you're here now, joining all of us. This campus will definitely progress because it gets a teacher who is so extraordinary like you," said Gerry slowly trying to change the subject.
"Don't praise me too highly Uncle, my nose could be as long as Pinocchio if I keep getting compliments like this."
"A long nose like Pinocchio?" Gerry Bradley repeated Virgo's words in a muffled hoarse voice. "Isn't Pinocchio's nose long because he keeps lying, huh?"
Virgo immediately burst out laughing, hearing his teacher and uncle correct his words made Virgo unable to contain himself. It's been a long time since he's laughed out loud like this, the sheer number of jobs at the campus where he worked previously made Virgo almost never laugh out loud. And that's why Virgo became so popular among female college students, his always serious figure became a big attraction among his admirers on campus.
Because the students began to arrive, Gerry Bradley immediately invited his favorite student to enter the campus. The day he had been waiting for for the past few years finally arrived, his favorite student who was so bright finally wanted to return to England and help him teach at the campus where both of them shared their knowledge with students.
"You will soon become one of the favorite professors of the beautiful students on this campus, Virgo," Gerry Bradley whispered softly, teasing Virgo, who had been the center of attention of the students who passed by them walking towards the teachers' room.
Virgo smiled. "I've made my choice, Uncle. So I don't think I'll open my heart to anyone else."
"Really, then who is the lucky girl?"
"When the time is right, I'll introduce him to Uncle immediately," Virgo replied quietly.
Gerry chuckled. "Okay, Uncle will keep your promise."
Virgo nodded slowly, because they had almost reached their destination, both Virgo and Gerry closed their lips. Even though Gerry is a senior professor, he still follows the procedures that apply on campus. He will still introduce Virgo professionally in front of other teachers.

Seeing how beautiful Crystal's skin after being exposed to the sun made Reagan make several mistakes, he even almost dropped the large jar that was in his room. And Crystal, not yet aware of Reagan's antics, was still busy checking dozens of photos of herself riding a horse on the beach this afternoon.
"This place really is amazing," Crystal said quietly to herself.
Reagan cleared his throat quietly. "Show me."
Crystal raised her head. "What?"
"Give me your phone, I want to see the photos I've been looking at non-stop for a while," Reagan said quietly, uncomfortably.
Damn Crystal, didn't she realize that her current rosy complexion was making Reagan nervous. Reagan was really trying his best not to eat Crystal right now.
Instead of doing what Reagan had already reached out for, Crystal tilted her head in confusion. "Why are you looking at my pictures? Weren't you mad at me."
"I'm angry about something else, not mad at you."
"Angry about something else? Angry about what else?" Crystal asked, confused. "You've been mad at me too many times, so I'm confused."
Reagan's chest immediately felt tight, even though Crystal's words were true but still when he heard it he felt sick.
"Too often angry?"
Crystal nodded quickly. "Yeah, never did you not get mad at me."
"Is that true?"
"Yeah, really you can't remember? Even because there is only one room that has a mattress you are also angry with me, not to mention on the trip this morning. I'm really full of hearing you angry throughout this trip," Crystal answered smoothly, somehow Crystal suddenly dared to answer Reagan. Whereas previously Crystal could only be silent and silent when Reagan was angry with her.
Reagan clenched his fists subconsciously.
"But it's okay, I'm getting used to it so you don't have to feel guilty," Crystal said again with sparkling eyes, this afternoon's activities on the beach really made Crystal's mood change 180 degrees. Sumba's natural beauty not only hypnotized her, but also recharged her energy. "Oh yeah, have you had dinner?"
"Not yet, I'm still full. How about you?"
Crystal laughed out loud. "I'm still full too, earlier on the beach I ate a lot of food sold by local traders and you know all the food was very good."
"Really?"
"Yes and tomorrow I want to come back to the beach," Crystal said excitedly. "If you want, you can join. Trust me Reagan, this place is truly heaven and we should thank grandpa for sending us to this place."
Just as Crystal closed her mouth suddenly her cell phone rang loudly and the only person who could contact Crystal so freely without guilt at Reagan, who was now confirmed to be with Crystal, was Roman West. The man immediately contacted Crystal as soon as he saw the photos Crystal sent him.
"Hi dear…."
"How are my photos, grandpa? Very good, aren't they? This place is really very extraordinary, if only grandpa was here. Everything would be so much more fun." Crystal immediately spoke without pause, expressing her happiness at being in Nihi Sumba, where she had her honeymoon with Reagan on Roman West, ignoring Reagan who continued to stare at her without blinking.
Seeing the way Crystal spoke to his grandfather so casually irritated Reagan, there was an uneasy feeling that bothered him seeing Crystal laugh at someone else. Even though that person was his own grandfather, the one he had completely deceived with his fake relationship with Crystal.
