Aurelia couldn’t take her eyes off Callum too, nor could she hear a word of what Callum said on the podium. All she could think about was his charming face, his husky voice, and his well-built body. He looked iso handsome in a suit.
“Next, I want to find a classmate to summarize what I just said.”
The classroom was instantly in an uproar. The girls were excited and raised their hands to attract Callum’s attention.
“The first student from the left in the eighth row. Please stand up and summarize the main points of what I said in the first half of the class.” After the deep voice fell, everyone’s eyes began to look at the lucky person who was called by Callum.
When they saw who it was, the audience began to whisper.
“Isn’t that the girl who was standing guard at the classroom door just now?”
“Yes, she is Aurelia from Class 22!”
“Ah? Is she ‘Sheridan Buddy’? She’s so pretty. No wonder she’s so popular in school!”
…
When Callum pointed at Aurelia, she was stunned for half a minute. Cathy next to her nudged her, pulling Aurelia’s mind back from her dream of sharing the same bed with Callum last night.
“Huh? What are you doing, Cathy?” Wait. Why was everyone looking at her? Aurelia looked confused.
Liana said in a low voice, “Aurelia, Mr. Finnegan asked you to answer a question! Summarize the main points of his lecture just now.”
Aurelia’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t hear a word Callum said.
She slowly stood up, lowered her head awkwardly, and flipped through the textbook in front of her that had never been opened, but still, she couldn’t say a word.
Callum said calmly, “Since you don’t know, please come up to the podium.”
Hmm? Why?
Although confused, Aurelia walked up to the podium.
Callum pointed to a corner nearby with a deadpan expression before saying, “Stand here before the class ends.”
…
The location he pointed to was less than three meters away from him. If Callum stood to the right, the distance between the two of them would be less than half a meter.
Aurelia was so embarrassed. She had been punished by her tutors many times before, but none of them dared to do this to her. Even if they did, she wouldn’t listen to them.
Aurelia stood at the edge of the podium for a long time without moving. Callum glanced at her coldly, and she shuddered involuntarily.
Humph! When he took advantage of her, his eyes were not as cold as they were now. Petty man!
Recalling the last time he dumped her in the cemetery, Aurelia bit her lower lip and obediently stood in the position designated by Callum.
Callum was definitely seeking revenge on her! That was too mean!
Aurelia just stood there stiffly when Callum asked the next question.
“I’d like to ask the second student from the left in the eighth row to answer this question!” It was Cathy.
If Cathy could answer the question, Aurelia was planning to walk back to her seat.
Unfortunately, Cathy was also ‘invited’ to the podium and stood next to Aurelia.
Aurelia felt somehow relieved. After all, it was nice to have a good friend to keep her company!
Before long, Liana, who was sitting next to Cathy, joined them. Unlike Aurelia and Cathy, at least Liana tried her best to answer Callum’s question.
The three good friends were all very depressed. But when they saw each other, they couldn’t help but smile secretly.
In the second half of the class, more than half of the students pretended not to listen carefully, intending to let Callum call them to come up to the podium so that they could stand close to him.
Unfortunately, Callum didn’t ask any more questions.
Rows of text and pictures were played on the big screen. At this moment, Callum was standing right in front of Aurelia.
The two were so close that Aurelia could see how smooth Callum’s hair was.
Aurelia’s mind was a million miles away again.
“The student over there! Can you understand the definition I just said?”Callum’s voice brought her back to her senses.
What? Why? Her again? “Um… Well… I…” Cathy wasn’t listening at all.
Cathy, who was obsessed with Callum, was stuttering and still couldn’t answer. Unexpectedly, Liana could answer this time. The things that she usually couldn’t understand became clear and easy to understand after Callum explained them. As long as her focus wasn’t on Callum, she could basically understand what Callum had taught.
Callum put down the textbook in his hand before saying, “Correct. You can go back to your seat. The remaining two students come to my office after class, and I will give you a private lecture.”
The last sentence caused an uproar in the classroom.
Mr. Finnegan was going to give them a private lecture! This was every girl’s dream!
Almost all the girls envied Aurelia and Cathy for being able to spend time alone with Callum. Only a few of them envied them for being able to get a one-on-one lecture and learn a lot from him.
After class, Cathy excitedly took Aurelia’s arm and went to Callum’s office. However, she was sent away by Callum with just one sentence.
“Miss Mike, you just listened very carefully. There is no need for an extra lecture. You can go back first.”
Stunned for a moment, Cathy nodded blankly and replied, “Oaky…”
After she walked out of the office, she heard the door being locked inside the room. It struck her that Aurelia was still in there.
She knew Aurelia wasn’t paying attention in class as she did.
At that point, Jim showed up. He pushed up his glasses and said with a smile, “Miss Mike, you may leave first.”
“But, Aurelia…”.
“Miss Sheridan must want to have a one-on-one lecture with Mr. Finnegan.” What Jim really meant was that Cathy should not disturb them.
Cathy was not stupid and could understand what he meant. However, as she thought of the bad relationship between Aurelia and Callum, she frowned and hesitated to say, “Mr. Finnegan will not… hurt Aurelia, right?”
