Chapter 58: Pervert Message

VALENCIA’S POV

I looked at him wide-eyed. His dark hazel eyes captivated me for a second, captivating me in a way where I wanted to be lost in them.

However, my fast-beating heart and the heat creeping up my cheeks and neck brought me out of my daze.

Was he seriously saying those words right when Aiden was standing here?

"Have you lost your mind?" I hissed at him, smacking his hand away before standing straight and smiling at Aiden.

"Come, sit. I will handle it. Don’t worry," I comforted him, and he looked at me as if he was annoyed that I was coaxing him like a child.

"Sit here," Aiden held my hand and pulled me onto the two-seater sofa as I was about to take a seat beside Shadow.

Shadow looked at me with raised brows, but luckily, he didn’t say anything.

It wasn’t long before the dean walked out of his kitchen, his brows furrowed when he looked at me and Aiden, and I gave him a tight-lipped smile.

"Well, I definitely didn’t expect you two. What is it all about?" Dean asked, and I bit my bottom lip, unsure how to answer that question.

"I heard your conversation in the corridor today and thought it wasn’t polite of her. That’s why I asked her to come here and apologize in front of me. Aiden happened to be with her and tagged along," Shadow said, and I looked at him, grateful for real because I wasn’t able to come up with any lie that was fitting enough.

The dean looked at me with a smile before walking to me and ruffling my hair, making me scowl.

"I am not mad at her, Mr. Shadow. You probably don’t know much about her. But I do. She is a good-hearted girl. Just a little naughty and can’t keep words in her heart for heaven’s sake. But one of the kindest I have seen.

Her words don’t affect me that much. To me she is like my own daughter," The dean said.

Hearing him say these words I was almost about to feel guilty but then again, if he considers me his daughter, he should be prepared for the message I bring in too, right?

’Seriously, you will just find anything to tackle your imagination, no?’ Aurora said, and I scowled at her.

"I am sorry for earlier. Even if you consider me as your daughter, it was wrong of me," I stood and bowed to the dean.

"Stupid girl. I just want you to lead a good life. I know you have had your struggles, I saw you sitting alone, and - well, that doesn’t matter. All I want to say is that, stop being so mischievous all the time. Study well and make yourself proud," The dean said.

"Since you guys are already here and I can’t go anywhere now, would you like to eat something?" The dean asked us, and I looked at Aiden, who shook his head.

"I will have noodles, spring rolls, and a half plate of white sauce pasta and a cold coffee," I said, beaming at the dean who just shook his head at me while Aiden looked at me dumbfounded.

’Remember the time when I said you can sell your soul for food? Well this is what I talked about,’ Aurora complained again, and I sighed.

I didn’t say anything to her. I was more focused on the man to my left side who was watching me, and I cleared my throat.

"Will you be joining us, Mr. Shadow?" The dean asked.

"Sure, why not?" Shadow said, and I could see from the expression on the Dean’s face that he wasn’t expecting that at all.

Feeling the phone vibrating in my pocket, I pulled it out and checked the message from Carl.

"Where are you? Will you be late?"

The message said, and I realized I forgot to tell him about my whereabouts.

"I will be back by 10. I am at my Dean’s house. Don’t worry. I am not alone," I quickly added the last sentence before hitting send.

With a sigh, I was about to stuff my phone back in my pocket when I saw the notification of a new message.

It was from the same private number.

"Is that so? If you will be wearing a skirt, ensure to not wear anything underneath it. The view would be even more marvelous," The message said, and I felt my ears flare up immediately.

What the hell was wrong with this man?

I wanted to reply to him immediately, but chose against it, not wanting anyone in the room to even get a peak at what this person was talking about.

"Can you order on our behalf? Choose the mode of payment at the time of delivery," The dean said, and I stood from my place to grab the pamphlet from his hand.

I was about to return to my seat when my foot got entangled in the carpet, and I stumbled, flailing my hand around to grab onto something.

Shadow quickly held my hand, but it was too late because in the next moment, I ended up on top of him and he looked at me with raised brows when I noticed how ambiguous and intimate our position was.

"I think I can get used to this. I guess saving you had more benefits than I had imagined," he winked at me, and I gritted my teeth at his insinuation of what happened.

I was about to stand when Aiden held my elbow and helped me stand, making me dust my outfit to even it before I thanked Aiden, who for some reason was glaring at Shadow.

"Are you sure you don’t want to eat anything?" I asked Aiden, who then proceeded to glare at me.

"Must you eat here? We should’ve left immediately," Aiden said and I sighed.

"Do you want to leave? We can leave immediately. You don’t have to force yourself to stay for me," I smiled at him before placing the pamphlet down on the table.

"Are you guys leaving already?" The dean walked back, and I smiled at him.

"We will enjoy the meal next time, sir. Thank you for asking. My relative has arrived at home and they urge me to come back soon," I cooked up a lie, not daring to meet Shadow’s gaze because I knew there would be nothing but warning in them.

After exchanging pleasantries, we left quickly, and Aiden held my hand before tightening his hold.

"This is the first time you ignored free food," he said, and I chuckled at his choice of words.

"Seriously, you act like I love nothing more than food. You are important to me," I said.

As we stepped forward I felt someone staring at me, and I instinctively looked at the balcony of the Dean’s apartment, Shadow’s presence with that signature smirk of his making my heart thump loudly.

I just hope he doesn’t hold it against me.
