Apology
Lilliana scoffed a little under her breath at his comment but took over her soon after when she heard him saying something about important business and new tasks. She looked at him with her doe gray eyes which were widened because of surprise, shock and fear. lots and lots of fear. She was praying that what she was thinking shouldn't come true. but her fear worsened seeing the devious smirk dancing on his lips, like he knew what she was thinking and indeed he knew what she was thinking and indeed he knew what she was thinking he knew her more than herself.
" Sorry Mr. Williams, I was a little overwhelmed. I didn't even realize that I was wasting your time. Actually, I care about Lilliana a lot and see her as my daughter. I am very apologetic that I couldn't that I couldn't keep my professional lives separated. "
Mr. Jones replied coming out of his trance and apologized again but his expressions were still the same cold and dark while he kept staring at her stunned figure.
" Please Do not apologize Mr. Jones, it's fine but now can we start already, I am running out of time. "
He said coldly, glancing at his expensive watch.
" Yes please, Mr. Jones please explain the new arrangements and duties to the students. "
Mr. Scott also said seeing the cold expressions of Blake.
“So, Lilliana and Samantha from now you both will be in charge of different departments."
Lilliana was confused and seeing his desk expressions and smile on his lips she gulped in fear.
" So, Samantha from now on you will be the academic assistant and assist me in place of Lilliana. You can hand over the duties to Samantha from now on Lilliana. ''
Mr. Jones explained. The girls looked at each other in confusion and hesitation. All this while Lilliana was looking at Mr. Jones when her eyes met those dark, brown eyes and hers widened in realization.
'If Samantha was to take my place from now on that means, I…'
and he completed what she was about to say or think in this case.
" Yes, Ms. Lilliana Green, from now on you will assist me as the student representative and MY ASSISTANT. "
It was like he read her mind, her fears and her nightmares were about to come true.
He stood from the couch where he was sitting a few seconds ago like he owned this very place, which he surely did and started taking his predatory steps towards the frozen statue of Lilliana who was in a staring contest with the floor and said loudly so that everyone could hear.
" We need to act fast Ms. Green; we don't have enough time and don't make me regret my decision of keeping you as my assistant for the following few months. "
He leaned and whispered in his hoarse deep voice.
" Here we are together again, PRINCESS.
The game has started. “
