Nina knew that John was going to follow through. That boy's credits were as good as gone.
She didn't know that student but she was so glad that he covered for her.
Guilt slowly crept in.
"Sir, I have something to say." Nina's clear and pleasant voice attracted everyone's attention. The whole class turned and faced her.
Nina nodded gratefully to the boy. The boy blushed uncontrollably. He awkwardly touched his hair as if he had no idea how to cope with the embarrassment. The person beside him teased, "The campus belle is smiling at you. It seems your luck has changed. Maybe you're her knight in shining armor."
Although they spoke softly to each other, Nina heard them clearly. She frowned and brushed their comments off. She was used to these types of jokes.
John, however, didn't want anyone talking about her like that.
He hated the idea that he was being painted as the bad guy and someone else saved his girl.
The boy was lucky they were in a classroom. Otherwise John would have put his head on a spike. He was a teacher though, so he had to behave himself. He couldn't lash out fo e it in front of you?" Nina made a sincere suggestion. She tilted her head slightly and smiled. She looked quite lovely.
John was staring at Nina. Didn't she want to leave just now? Why did she want to stay all of a sudden?
She must be reluctant to leave him.
"Office." He spoke a single word, put his hands in his pockets and led Nina to his office. He smiled from time to time, unable to control himself.
Nina was a little excited. However, when she realized what she just did, she got annoyed that she liked this man so much.
'Nina, what are you happy about?
You're being punished!'
However, she still followed John to his office. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw him turning around. The next second, he pulled her in.
Bang!
He flung the office door shut.
Henry jerked back as the door was shut in his face. Fortunately, he stepped back quickly enough so he wouldn't get hit by the door.
Looking at the tightly closed door in front of him, he heard Nina's scream followed by some silence.
He feared that this visit was costing a lot more than a little punishment.
