Chapter 14: Deskmates to Lovers (14)

Taylor POV:

In the first year, in addition to the class, I will go to the company with Lucia.

The classmates at the university knew that I was a smart person since they knew that I was champion, and that Lucia and I was in the same class. Rumours are going around that Lucia is my lackey and that she is an ordinary person sucking up to a smart person like me.

Every time I hear such remarks, I secretly look at Lucia's expression afraid that she might get affected with those bad rumours but later I realized that she didn't care, so I let out a sigh of relief. Lucia is too outstanding, now I am not sure at all if I can keep her hidden. If someone finds out how good this person is, can she keep those flies away?

So, I must be excellent, so that people will be jealous, and I will attract all the attention to myself, so that no one will notice Lucia's beauty. These blind people will not understand how good Lucia is.

However, I had a lot to do, and did not expect that the diamond I was trying to hide will be discovered by annoying people.

One day, I was even stopped by a shy boy who was blushing and being a bit awkward, thinking that it was one of my pursuers. When the other party had not spoken, I thought he was going to confess to me, so I refused, now that I have a girlfriend I have to consider her personal feelings so as to avoid misunderstandings.

"Taylor, you misunderstood." The boy panicked and quickly explained, "I...I... I didn't want you and certainly was not going to do a confession." He was worried that she misunderstood his request and hurried to rectify his mistake. He was really nervous right now standing In front of her.

But thinking of the goddess in his mind, the boy gathered all of the courage he had, "I want to ask Taylor to do a favour for me."

"What kind of a favour?" I was suspicious, not embarrassed of misunderstanding him.

The boy remembered something, with a pure smile on his face, "I want to make an appointment... with Lucia to have a meal with me and want to know..." For a moment, he remembered, when he saw Lucia who was, always with a gloomy face, a bit like when his dad was about to go to a family gathering with his mom.

"I don't mean anything else, just to have a meal and get to know..." He looked at me and thought, why did Taylor look so fierce.
