Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Call Me Senior and Let Me Hear It
Serena Summers frowned, wondering if her instincts were wrong. When she came out, she clearly saw that both of their faces looked unhappy.
"Don’t overthink it. I just discussed a business deal with your uncle, and he agreed. Our relationship... is doing well."
Lucas Shaw looked up, his gaze fixed on the tall figure ahead, his last few words spoken through gritted teeth.
...
Old Master Lane still hadn’t woken up when Serena received a call from Dean Carter, asking her to come to the research institute.
Lucas drove to the entrance of Clearview University. As Serena unbuckled her seat belt and was about to open the door, her wrist was suddenly grasped.
Then, a dark shadow loomed over her.
The unique, refreshing scent of a man enveloped her face. Serena pushed him slightly and said helplessly, "Stop it, the Dean is waiting for me."
"Mrs. Shaw, you’re really taking ’use it and throw it away’ to a whole new level, aren’t you?"
Lucas leaned one hand on the car and placed the other on the back of the co-driver’s seat, trapping Serena in his arms and looking at her accusingly.
His gaze was like that of looking at a heartbreaker.
Serena’s lips twitched slightly, then she reached out to hold his face, looking at his handsome features close by and chuckled, "What now? You want to charge me for this?"
Lucas raised an eyebrow, "Can’t I?"
"You can."
Serena tilted her head up and pressed her lips against his thin ones, placing a gentle kiss.
Perhaps it was because of the air conditioning in the car for too long, his lips were cool but very soft.
"Just a kiss and you think you can get rid of me?"
The man’s sexy Adam’s apple moved, his deep eyes darkened, and as she tried to pull away, he deepened the kiss.
His tall body tightly enveloped her, like an impervious wall, hard and scorching hot.
All Serena could sense between her breaths was his scent.
He forcefully and dominantly held her hands, leaving no room for her to struggle or resist.
His lips, initially cold, gradually became scorching hot, as if a blazing fire had begun to burn.
The temperature inside the car began to climb steadily, and Serena’s fair cheeks flushed red.
The blush spread to the roots of her ears, yet the man was relentless, his tongue dominantly entwining hers as if he wanted to devour her, to merge her into his flesh and blood.
After what felt like forever, Serena was kissed until she was weak all over, couldn’t muster any strength, and her brain felt dizzy, unsure of the time.
Only then did Lucas release her lips, lowering his eyes to look at her.
Those dark, profound eyes sparkled with flickering lights, like a sky full of stars, almost lighting up the boundless night.
"Mrs. Shaw, next time, that’s what’s called a charge."
He bowed his head, his rough fingertips gently caressing Serena’s lips, his eyes filled with greedy and possessive desire.
Serena, teased to blushing profusely, glared at him fiercely, "It’s all your fault, I’m about to be late."
She and Dean Carter had agreed to meet at seven o’clock in the evening, and now only five minutes were left.
The building housing the research institute was the furthest from the university entrance. Even if she ran, she might not make it in time.
"That’s easy," Lucas chuckled, returned to the driver’s seat, started the engine, and drove the car forward.
In the evening, there are fewer cars coming in and out, and not many people around the campus, so Lucas Shaw quickly parked the car in front of the research institute building.
"How did you get a campus pass?" Serena Summers asked in shock, her eyes wide.
The security at Clearview University is very strict, and without a pass, entry is not allowed, so many cars are parked outside.
Lucas Shaw’s lips curled slightly, and his slender fingers gently tapped on the steering wheel, "Guess."
Serena Summers: "..."
Childish!
Finally, unable to resist her curiosity, she asked, "Did you pay someone to get it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the man bent his slender fingers and tapped on her smooth forehead, sighing helplessly, "Mrs. Shaw, how little do you know about your husband? You don’t even know where I went to college."
Serena Summers suddenly realized, and then she found it unbelievable, "You graduated from Clearview too?"
"Mhm." Lucas Shaw’s lips slightly curved, his narrow eyes slightly squinted, a hint of teasing in his gaze, "Be good, call me ’senior’ and let’s hear it?"
Looking at the handsome face close at hand, Serena Summers blushed, unable to help thinking, how can there be such a charming man in this world?
He made her almost unable to cope when he flirted.
She checked the time on her phone, quickly opened the car door, and slipped away.
If she stayed any longer, she feared she wouldn’t be able to control the little monster inside her!
Watching her fleeing figure, Lucas Shaw chuckled lightly, leaning back in the driver’s seat, his fingertips gently caressed his lips.
It seemed the sweet scent of hers still lingered there, making him crave more yet unable to stop.
After Serena Summers got out of the car, she quickly ran into the building, patted her burning cheeks, took a deep breath, and pretending nothing had happened, she walked towards Dean Carter’s office.
In the office were not only Dean Carter but also William David and Professor Parker.
The three of them were gathered around the desk, their expressions solemn and grave. Hearing footsteps, they all turned to look at Serena.
"Serena, come in," Dean Carter was the first to speak, waving her over.
Serena Summers frowned but still walked in, closing the door behind her.
"Dean Carter, what happened? Professor Parker came to Imperial Capital too?"
Dean Carter explained, "Serena, I asked Professor Parker to come. I remember seventeen years ago, Lucas Shaw was kidnapped and when he returned, an organization had injected him with an unknown substance..."
"Let me explain," Professor Parker sighed, looking at Serena, "Recently, in the last six months, many children have gone missing in Imperial Capital, and many wealthy families haven’t been spared. So far, we’ve only found one child, but by the time we found him, he was barely alive and exhibited the same symptoms as Lucas."
Serena’s heart sank, asking in disbelief, "Do you mean that the organization has reappeared after seventeen years of absence?"
Dean Carter and Professor Parker both nodded, "We are not yet certain if it’s the same organization from seventeen years ago, but the likelihood is high."
"Actually, not just in Imperial Capital, many surrounding cities have experienced similar events. Child disappearances have been frequent in the last six months. Initially, nobody thought much about it, not until half a month ago..."
Half a month ago
Is this timing a coincidence?
Serena Summers lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions within, lost in thought.
Half a month ago was supposed to be the day she arrived in Imperial Capital, but later, to enhance the drug’s effect and confirm there were no significant side effects, Serena postponed her trip by a whole half month.
How could it be such a coincidence?
"Dean Carter, Professor Parker, can I meet that child?"
