At that time, when Professor Chico was teaching Lorena in the Human Pathology practicum lesson, suddenly Professor Chico called the name “Lorena” to answer a question. Lorena immediately stood up and walked over to the whiteboard. After that, she tried to answer the questions from Professor Chico on the blackboard. Lorena immediately answered the question seriously.
Meanwhile, Professor Chico walked to his chair to pick up a bouquet of flowers. After Lorena finished answering the question, she immediately turned around and tried to find Professor Chico. It turned out that, to her left, Professor Chico had kneeled down to Lorena and given her flowers.
“I love you so much, Lorena. Will you be my girlfriend?” Professor Chico asked.
“I’m sorry, Professor Chico! I don’t mean to reject you, but I’m already dating Alberto.” Lorena tried to politely reject Professor Chico because she was already dating Alberto and it was impossible for her to have an affair with him.
“Do you mean that you love me but you can’t have an affair with me?” Professor Chico confirmed Lorena’s feelings.
“Come on, Professor! We don’t have to talk about that. We must discuss the subject!” Lorena tried to change the topic. The class continued with lessons.

Lorena would never have thought that Alberto would have an affair with Professor Vega. If she knew that, Alberto would have an affair with her, and of course she would accept Professor Chico’s love and choose to have an affair with Professor Chico.
“Why, Honey?” Professor Chico kissed Lorena’s lip suddenly.
“Who made you cry?” Professor Chico stroked Lorena’s hair again.
“I’m not crying! I’m fine.” Lorena answered as she stared intently at Professor Chico.
“How come you have eye bags? Why do your eyes look puffy?” Professor Chico pointed at Lorena’s puffy eyes, which made Lorena go straight to the mirror outside the bathroom because she didn’t want Professor Chico to know that she was crying.
Because if Professor Chico found out, he would surely persuade Lorena to become Professor Chico’s girlfriend. A moment later, she arrived in front of the mirror, and she saw her puffy eyes. Her eyes immediately bulged because she was very surprised to see her puffy eyes.
“Oh, my god! No wonder Professor Chico knows about it! How should I do this?” She said it to herself reflexively.
She immediately thought of a way and tried to find one. She wanted to leave that toilet without any permission, but suddenly Lorena felt Professor Chico’s hand wrap around her, and she saw in the mirror that Professor Chico had embraced her. After that, Professor Chico hugged Lorena tightly.
“Come on, Honey! Don’t lie to me too much! What is the problem? Just talk to me! I’ll definitely help you, Honey.”
“I;m alright.” I’m fine.” Lorena tried to lie again.
“Oh, honey!” Professor Chico was disappointed. Then he immediately shook his head and suppressed his laughter. He knew that Lorena was trying to lie to him.
“Why did you lie? Don’t you believe me at all?”
“It’s not like that. It’s just a personal matter.” Lorena refused to talk about her problems for that reason.
“Isn’t our relationship so close? Because of that, how many of your friends are jealous of our relationship, Lorena? Is that right, Honey?” Professor Chico felt that his relationship with Lorena has been very close.
“Yes, indeed, many people are jealous of our relationship.” Lorena admitted that many of her friends are jealous of Lorena’s relationship with Professor Chico. Many of Lorena’s friends want to be her and get her position. Because of Lorena’s friends, Professor Chico gives Lorena many special treatments when compared with her friends.
Professor Chico really cares about Lorena’s condition. While in class, Professor Chico really cares about Lorena’s understanding of whether the courses were taught by Professor Chico or not. Professor Chico often asks Lorena about her understanding, such as, “Lorena, do you understand?” “Lorena, can you do it?” “Lorena, are you confused?” Professor Chico also often said, “If you don’t understand, you just ask me! There’s no need to be shy!”
Lorena always simply replies, “Okay, Professor.”
“Alright, just tell me your problem if you want! I’ll try to solve your problem.” Professor Chico tried to make Lorena feel comfortable with him so that Lorena would want to tell him the problem. Lorena was sure to tell her problem to Professor Chico. Therefore, she told her problem to Professor Chico.
“Come on, Lorena! Just leave Alberto! There is still me. I love you sincerely. What’s your hope again about your relationship with Alberto?” Professor Chico attempted to make a suggestion that caused Lorena to abandon Alberto’s feelings for Professor Vega.
“I love him so much, Professor.” Indeed, that was the reason Lorena could not give up Alberto’s love for Professor Vega.
“But he has an affair with Professor Vega. He’s playing your heart. I really don’t like him for wasting you and wasting your time like that! You’re so precious! Your heart can’t be played with by him like that! Do you really want it if, after your marriage with him, he will have an affair with another woman? You don’t hope that will happen, right?” Professor Chico was angry because he cared about Lorena.
“No.” Lorena shook her head.
“But I already love him.” Lorena really loved Alberto.
“That’s enough! Just have an affair with me to show that you are worth it, Lorena! He has an affair with Professor Vega. Why don’t you do the same with him?” Professor Chico tried to persuade Lorena to have an affair with him, but that only made Lorena even more annoyed with Professor Chico.
“That’s why I don’t want to tell you my problem, Professor Chico!” Lorena answered lazily as she left.
“Okay.” Professor Chico’s words made Lorena stop walking.
“If you still want to defend him, it’s up to you! But you have to be able to accept all of this, including that he might marry Professor Vega. Professor Vega is a very ambitious person. She will try various ways to get what she wants, including doing things that are not allowed.” Finally, Professor Chico must succumb to Lorena’s decision, which can no longer be argued. And after that, Professor Chico left the place to go to the course that he had to teach.
