Callum glanced at Aurelia in front of him calmly and said nothing.
Aurelia leaned in closer to him and whispered, “Callum, are you stupid?”
A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. He immediately gave her a warning look and said lightly, “Do you have a death wish?”
Aurelia immediately shook her head. “You asked me to treat everyone to ice cream. The money I spent is yours. To put it bluntly, it was you who treated everyone. Why did you treat everyone to ice cream?”
“You’re late for class.”
“What does this have to do with me being late…” Aurelia shut up abruptly. She couldn’t keep up with Callum’s train of thought.
It turned out that there was nothing wrong with eating ice cream, but she should feel sorry for being late for class.
But thought better of it, she didn’t have to run 20 laps and spend any of her own money. So technically, Callum didn’t punish her.
Was Callum such a considerate person? She looked at him with suspicion. She was still a little uneasy with his kindness to her! When she saw him standing straight, she thought of something and asked, “Were you in the military?”
“Yeah.”
“Why would you end up being the president of ZL Group?” Aurelia imagined how handsome Callum was when he put on a military uniform.
What a shame that she had never seen him in a military uniform.
Callum glanced at Aurelia and said calmly, “If you are really curious about me, I can let you get to know me better tonight.”
Hmm? Want to learn more?
Initially, Aurelia didn’t see the problem with his words. But hearing him add ‘tonight’ made her have a streak of caution. A horny man like Calum must be insinuating something!
Thinking of that possibility, Aurelia blushed, coughing lightly as she turned to leave. “No need. Bye.”
“Don’t you want freedom? I’ll consider it if you sleep with me,” he said in a very low voice, smiling mischievously.
When she looked back, there was no one behind her. The man who was talking to her just now had already organized her classmates to do other exercises.
Later, Aurelia thought about it carefully and realized that the words were definitely not an auditory hallucination.
Aurelia initially decided to stay in the dormitory with her friends tonight, but in the end, she was called back to the villa by Alfred.
“Aurelia, Mr. Finnegan has finished his work today and will be home soon. He asked me to call you to remind you of the German class tonight.”
“What? Does he want to kill me?”
When she returned to the villa, Callum was not home yet. She threw herself on the bed and tossed and turned.
Finally, she called Briar. “Briar, have you found me a job?”
The door of the room was ajar, and Callum, who was about to knock on the door, paused.
Briar had just arrived at the bar and saw her call. He found a quiet place to answer it. “Seriously? Are you really going?” He thought Aurelia was just joking.
“Yeah, I’m strapped for cash. I really need money.” She had thought she could hold out for two months with the money she had left, but today Callum asked her to treat her classmates to ice cream, and she ran out of money.
“Are you short of money?” Briar was puzzled. Before he could ask in detail, his friends called him. He had to give up and said, “Okay, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.”
“Besides…” She was a little embarrassed to say the next words because she had never done such a thing before.
Briar asked, “Sheridan Buddy, what? This is not like you. Just tell me what’s going on. You make me very anxious!”
Aurelia rolled her eyes before replying, “Okay, lend me a few thousand dollars. I’ll pay you back when I get a job!”
At this moment, Aurelia felt like a fool. She filed for divorce when she was still in school. Wouldn’t it be better to wait until she graduated and had money to file for divorce?
Now, she had to find a job and borrow money.
But there was no turning back.
Briar was really surprised. Did Aurelia ask to borrow his money? But his friends kept urging him, so he didn’t have time to ask more questions. “Okay, I’ll wire the money to your account later.”
Less than a minute after the call ended, Aurelia received a text message informing her that five thousand dollars had been wired to her account.
She texted Briar, “Bro, thank you so much!”
As she sent the message, there was a knock on the door. Thinking of who was coming, she quickly put away her phone and jumped off the bed. She trotted to the door, opened it, and said politely as she saw the man, “What can I do for you?”
Callum must have just arrived home, with a black suit draped over his arm and a tie neatly tied around the collar of his white shirt. Seeing her coming out, he glanced at her calmly. “Take the German textbook with you. I’ll wait for you in the study.”
After saying this in a cold tone, he turned and left.
When Aurelia came to the study, Callum was standing straight in front of the window with a lit cigarette.
Two or three buttons of his collar were casually undone, slightly revealing his chest. In the dead of night, the sight of the handsome man standing in front of the window smoking made Aurelia swallow unconsciously.
Seeing her come in, Callum took a puff, walked to the ashtray with his long legs and put out the cigarette. “Sit down.”
Aurelia looked around the study and saw the sofa. She slowly walked over and sat down.
Callum followed and sat down next to her. The distance between the two of them was instantly shortened.
His deep voice sounded, ” How is your German? I need to test you first. From now on, we will communicate in German throughout the whole process.”
Aurelia looked troubled. She wasn’t good at speaking German. The only phrases she knew were from when she traveled abroad before.
Callum spoke first, his voice very pleasing. Even a poor student like Aurelia could tell that his pronunciation was very standard. However, she only understood a few words.
When Callum finished speaking, Aurelia sat up straight and cleared her throat before answering. The more she spoke, the deeper he frowned.
When she finished speaking, he clenched the textbook a little harder. Only by using his strength elsewhere could he resist the urge to strangle her.
