Chapter 10 Professor or Beast
Chapter 10 Professor or Beast
Three days passed, although the wound of Jessie had not yet healed, the scars had been faded a lot. There would be alliance marriage between the Lan family and the Lin family, but neither of the two families had any movements till now. Jessie didn't care about it, but just wanted to restore her studies that were left behind as soon as possible.
"Jessie, did you get your dissertation passed? The professor failed mine again. You know, it took me almost half a month to finish my dissertation. He should not fail me like that. How can I accept it! !" A classmate whined in a somber manner.
Jessie was depressed too. She was going to move to the Lan family's house in three days. Facing the cunning Nelson and the hidden Mark, she was dreadful. She thought that she had finally got rid of troubles, but in fact, she was put into a bigger trap.
Dissertation.... How could she get in the mood of writing her dissertation, she was in a mess now!
Suddenly, one of her classmates said, "oh, right. Today is the professor's birthday. We want to host him a party. As long as he was happy, the dissertation would be a piece of cake!"
"……" Jessie's mouth twitched. "Will it work?"
"Yes, of course." Her classmates said confidently, but in Jessie's opinion, this method would not work.
After the class in the afternoon was over, Jessie was dragged to a nightclub that her classmates had booked. In fact, she didn't want to be there at all. She knew that the idea wouldn't work, because no matter what they do to please the professor, the result would not change.
Unless you hooked up with the professor!
Jessie didn't think that she was charming enough to hook up with the professor, so she just sat there quietly the whole night, just being with her classmates occasionally to see what was going on.
However, she didn't know that her classmates, who seemed to get along well with her, had set her up.
"Jessie, you're so boring sitting here alone. Come and sing."
"Exactly. There are only us today, not too many people. If you continued being restrained like this, you are not having fun."
"……" Jessie said with an embarrassed smile. "I am a terrible singer, and I don't know how to sing. You guys have fun, don't worry about me."
Since their first grade at University, Selina Wang knew that Brad Li was just an evil man doing all kinds of nasty things under the name of professor. However, in order to get her dissertation passed, she had to try her best to please him.
Brad Li had always been fond of Jessie, but she was too indifferent, and always alienated others. She rarely participated in anything, and would not give others a chance to approach. This time, it took her a lot of effort to get Jessie here. And to her surprise, Jessie was so boring and didn't drink alcohol at all. Selina Wang bit her lips and looked at Jessie quietly. She couldn't let Jessie ruin her plan.
She picked up the wine glass, walked in high heels, and sat down beside Jessie. "Come on, drink with me. Cheers! For we've been classmates in the past four years!"
Jessie.........
"Sorry, I don't drink."
"You don't know how to drink?" Selina Wang was surprised. She didn't know whether Jessie was really innocent or just faking. "Why not drink a little? It's beer with low alcohol. You can drink a little. I promise you won't get drunk."
Seeing that Jessie still didn't want to drink, Selina Wang continued persuading her: "let me tell you. Women will suffer losses if they don't drink. You know what? Going out to work and drinking is common. You have to attend business meetings and social activities, and accompany clients. Or else, you have to attend the company's party to celebrate the success of the company. If you didn't drink a little at that kind of party, your boss won't be happy, you know? How about this, you take a sip and I finish it, come on!"
Selina Wang was very enthusiastic. Jessie only had few friends at school. When thinking that it was the first time and the last time for her to join in them. She had no reason to put it off.
She picked up the goblet in front of her and drank half of it in one breath, frowning.
Looking at her, a smile appeared on Selina Wang's face. She thought to herself, 'as long as Jessie drank just a little, then I can definitely get what I want tonight.'
Selina Wang kept her words. She went to sing with other classmates after she saw that Jessie drank half a glass of wine. There was nobody but only Jessie sitting on the sofa alone and watching them dancing wildly.
Not knowing how long past, Jessie's sight became blurred, and her head became more and more heavy. She felt that there was something wrong with herself, so she struggled to support her body and walked out of the room with difficulty.
Meanwhile, she felt uneasy and hot.
Standing in front of the wash basin, Jessie looked at her flushing face and kept beating her face with her hands.
She hoped that the cold water could stimulate her nerves and make her sober in an instant.
However, the restlessness kept eroding her body.
What happened to her?
Why was that?
Was she drunk?
That was impossible. Even if she was drunk, she would not have such a strange feeling.
Jessie had never expected that her drink was drugged and what's waiting for her would be a nightmare.
Seeing that Jessie staggered out of the room, Selina Wang specially told Brad Li. His eyes brightened and he quickly went out of the room.
When Jessie came out of the lavatory, Brad Li was waiting for her at the door of the lavatory. Seeing her in a look of discomfort, he walked towards her and pretended to be nice, "Jessie, you feel bad? Were you drunk?"
Jessie raised her head and answered, "Mr. Brad, I'm fine. I just feel a little uncomfortable."
"If you are not feeling well, I can drive you home."
"…… No, thanks. I will be fine. Mr. Brad, wish you a happy birthday. I, really don't feel well. I, I want to go..." before she could finish her words, Jessie felt dizzy, and then fell down in a faint.
Brad Li lifted a triumphant smile on his lips.
He held Jessie in his arms and walked out of the KTV.
Next day, Jessie slept until noon before waking up by a phone call.
"Hello, Blake. What's up?"
"I have something to tell you. Are you at home now? I'll come to you."
"I..." Still in a daze, Jessie cast a glance at the room and said, "I'm not at home. I'm outside. I'll go to your lawyer firm."
"How about this? We can meet at the French restaurant in the west of the city, and talk over the meal." Blake continued after a pause.
"Okay." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
After hanging up the phone, Jessie was wide awake. After the night, she felt as if she had been dismantled. She was exhausted. Looking at her own body, she was not surprised. She just grabbed the quilt and looked at the ceiling with ferocious eyes.
Thinking of the wretched look of Brad Li, Jessie wanted to run to the school to tear his body immediately. And how dare Selina Wang scheme against her....
Jessie clenched her teeth out of hatred.
Brad Li, I won't let you go. You will pay for that!
