Chapter 97: Imagination
VALENCIA’S POV
"Miss Valencia, please stay back," Maverick said without looking up from his sheets, and I gulped, my gaze meeting Aiden, who stopped with me.
"Okay," I said, a bit hesitant.
"Do you want me to stay?" Aiden whispered in my ears.
I licked my bottom lip, unsure how to answer that question as I was sure with the distance between Maverick and us, he was able to hear our conversation just fine, and if he felt offended, he might not take out his irritation in the University but he can always find me back at my place.
Yes. He knew about my new place because of the collaboration needed between the council and the Dark Callisto pack for the upcoming ball.
"No. I will be fine," I said to him dejectedly even when I wanted him to stay.
Aiden looked between me and Maverick for one last time before he nodded, swung his backpack on his shoulders, and left, making me grit my teeth before I took a deep breath and turned to look at the so-called bane of my existence.
"Take these sheets and place them on the desk in my cabin," He said, still not looking up. I looked at him, waiting for any snarky remark or comment, but when nothing came out of his mouth, I shrugged, and walked to him.
Maybe he was taking his job seriously for the first time and taking my help in front of everyone because I was his teacher’s aide or something.
"Okay," I took the bundle of the sheets and exited the classroom.
