Chapter 186: Fancy Seeing You

(Author’s POV)

"So, why did grandpa asked me to leave? What did you guys talk alone? Let me in on your secret .... hmmm?" Yelena interrogated. She was anticipating Myra’s answer.

Myra, on the other hand, just stated simply, "He was here to talk about that scholarship program, Professor Stephens talked about." Her expression remained normal.

Yelena stared at Myra with a suspicious gaze. She was reading her body language, whether Myra was hiding something from her or was her words genuine. "He could have discussed about it in front of me. Why did he asked me to leave then?"

Myra made a hand gesture and uttered, "How would I know that? Why don’t you ask your grandfather? Why did he say that?"

Yelena observed her for a while. Myra seemed alright so it was hard to discreet for her. She then changed the subject and asked, "So .... Will you be leaving for your house today?" She was a bit sad as she lived alone and was liking Myra’s company.

Myra wiped the imaginary sweat from her forehead. She didn’t tell Yelena about those documents Garry Yates has given to her. She understood his subtle hint that he wanted her to read those files without anyone’s presence.

She wasn’t sure what was in it, so she didn’t mention anything about it.

"Yes, that has been the plan all along," Myra answered. She was relieved to return home. But this meeting with Garry has left her with many questions.

Truth be told, Myra has been thinking about that scholarship program but has been hesitant about how she will talk to her parents. What she will say to them? Because, Sandra and William will definitely ask the reason, why she wants all of them to move away from Damona. And she simply cannot tell the hard truth to them.

What will she even say to them? That, Nora’s family and Nora herself is half human, half beast? Or that other people from her race is after her life? Whatever happened in Kimberg, Myra wanted to forget all of that, it was traumatizing. And for that to happen she need a new start in life, away from Everests’ influence. Also, her family’s safety was her top most priority.

Those beasts who attacked her in the forest that day, if there are more like them, tailing her. Who knows, what might happen then?

She was an ordinary human and wanted to live a normal life with her family. No werewolf, no mate drama and stuff, no chaos. Just a normal average human life.

Yelena was sulking again. Myra held her hands in hers and said, "Hey~ ... don’t be sad. The new semester is going to start in half a month. We will meet then."

"I know ... arghh .... Forget it. I will take you to your parents’ place," Yelena got up from the couch and walked inside to grab Myra’s luggage and other stuff. She then took her car keys out.

Myra got up as well, changed into her shoes and they both drove away.

Inside the car, Yelena as if remembering something, inquired, "Did you talk to Professor Fabian? Or had he texted you?"

"Nahh~ ... neither have I contacted him nor has he messaged me about anything. He is a professor after all, a busy person. Why will he have the time to text me?" Myra shrugged off.

’Was I overthinking then? Maybe he was just being a gentleman back then," Yelena reeled inside her head. She has messaged Fabian last night. He replied her this morning, apologizing for not replying sooner as he was busy with some stuff. She was glad, he wasn’t ignoring her.

"Yel, can you take me to the Baker’s Palace. My mom loves their walnut tea cake. I want to buy that," Myra chimed in.

Yelena snapped back from her thoughts and said, "Ok. Their red velvet pastries are delicious as sin. Let’s buy them as well. Wendy would love them."

They both went inside the bakery. Although, it was almost noon, the place was packed with people. Yelena asked Myra, "Do you need help, walking?"

"Nah .... I can manage just fine," Myra declined her offer.

This particular bakery was a famous for its desserts and sweets so it was no surprise the place was booming with customers.

There was a long line in from of the billing counter. Yelena offered Myra, "I will place the order. Why don’t you browse something anything else. There are many things on display."

Myra agreed on the arrangement and walked towards the showcase. There were many delicacies lined up there. Myra settled for a simple vanilla cake and wanted to tell Yelena but there were too many people.

She tried to make her way towards Yelena but someone from the crowd shoved her. She stumbled backward and bumped into someone, "Easy there, Miss."

That person’s voice was soothing as he held Myra shoulders to steady her.

"Thank yo~," Myra was in the middle of thanking him. When she turned around and saw who it was, a look of surprise flashed across her face, "Professor Stephens?"

"Ms. Miracle, ohh it is you. It is good to see you again," Fabian gave her a dazzling smile as he greeted her. "You shouldn’t have come to such a place. Your foot is already injured." He advised with familiarity.

Myra pursed her lips, took a step back and smiled politely, "My cast has been removed. But thanks for helping me."

"Don’t mention it. So, what brings you here, Ms. Miracle?" Fabian inquired.

"To buy some desserts for my family. And you?" Myra asked out of politeness.

Fabian said, "I am a bit confused as what to choose. Are you a regular here? Can you recommend something to me?"

As Fabian has helped her, Myra couldn’t decline him so she asked him, "May I know, what is the occasion?"

Fabian gladly replied, "One of my students, she is feeling down these days. She doesn’t consume egg. I want to buy something to motivate her but I don’t know what to choose."

"Ummm~ .... ok. There strawberry pastries are famous and they make them eggless as well. I think it will be a good option. Or maybe, if she is into chocolates, a dark chocolate cake," Myra suggested.

"Have you deci~ ... Professor Fabian? What are you doing here? I mean, fancy seeing you," Yelena changed her tone as soon as she saw Fabian.

"Ms. Yates, fancy seeing you as well. Ms. Miracle was just helping me in choosing a dessert," Fabian told Yelena truthfully.

"Ohh is she?" Yelena looked at Myra with a subtle smile. She then gazed at Fabian and asked, "So, have you decided on what to buy yet?"

"Yes, and I guess, you have already purchased yours," he looked at the carry bag in Yelena’s hand and commented.

"Have you decided on something else, Myra?" Yelena inquired with a pleading look. She wanted to stay and talk some more with Fabian.

Myra didn’t catch it but as she wanted to try out the vanilla cake she told her, "I want that vanilla cake as well."

Yelena exclaimed, thinking that Myra has gotten the hint, "I will get you one."

Fabian interrupted, "If you don’t mind, allow me~"

Myra was quick to turn his offer down, "It’s okay, Professor Stephens."

He chuckled at how fast she rejected him and said, "There is a long queue already. It will be convenient that way."

Yelena immediately agreed, "Sure, sure, Professor Fabian. How thoughtful of you."

Myra nodded as well and Fabian went to the billing counter.

Yelena stared at Fabian’s back as she asked, "Since when did you to get so close?"

"Don’t ask me that. He helped me earlier, so I was just returning the gesture. That is, it," Myra made her stance clear.

"Figures. And I thought .... silly me," Yelena smacked her forehead dramatically.

"What did you think?" Myra questioned. She was oblivious to her friends’ thought process.

"Nothing .... But he is so sweet. Even offered to help us with the billing," Yelena was fangirling again.

"Yeah, he seems nice," Myra answered casually. After all, he has helped them thrice.

All of a sudden, Myra felt a strange presence. As if someone was watching her. She looked at her surroundings, but as the place was already packed with people, she couldn’t discreet anything.

Yelena asked, "What happened?"

"Uhhhh~ ... it’s nothing. Can we go out? It is a little suffocating here," Myra murmured. She was having that odd feeling again. Although, she brushed it off as her overthinking, she wanted to go out.

Yelena and Myra walked out as Yelena told Fabian with hand gestures. Fabian simply nodded with a curt smile.

They waited outside the bakery for Fabian. He came out and extended his hand towards Myra, to give her the bag. Myra took it and said, "Professor Stephens, thank you. Can you show me your payment code?"

"I don’t use online payment methods," he commented. Although, he wanted to tell her not to worry but he could tell by their brief conversation that Myra would decline his words again.

Myra pursed her lips and said, "I am sorry. I don’t have any cash right now. How should I pay you?"
