"How dare you bump into the Chancellor? Where was your attention…," Joanna was stunned to see the grumpy Chancellor, Mr Aidan stop the lecturer who was trying to reprimand her.
The fat man wearing a pair of reading glasses averted his attention back to Joanna.
"Are you ok?" Mr Aidan asked to Joanna's further astonishment.
She was surprised to see him worry about her instead of lashing out at her like he is known to always do.
[Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed, eat the wrong thing or did he get possessed?]
Joanna refused to believe that the man known for his grumpiness would be so nice to her.
"Did you get hurt?" Mr Aidan asked as he reached out his hand to touch her shoulder.
Out of reflexes, Joanna moved a step backwards. " I am fine, Sir," Joanna said, not feeling the least comfortable with how strangely the man was acting.
Other students passing by bad and those seated in the hall he came out from were surprised to see the nagging man acting so gentle with Joanna.
They would have mistaken him for someone else if they didn't see him exit the hall after giving them an earful.
"You…,"
"I am very sorry for what happened but please can I leave now?" Joanna cut him short thinking that he wanted to start giving his ear-piercing sermon.
She was already running late, she had no time to listen to him give his 20-30 minute sermon.
Even though she had the whole time in the world, she would have still chosen not to spare him that time.
"I am running late for a lecture," Joanna added.
"What impudence…,"
"What lecture?" Mr Aidan asked as he turned to glare at the man who kept on interrupting her without permission.
[What the f*ck is wrong with him? Why on earth does he want to know what lecture I am running late for? Is that any of his business?]
These were some of the questions she wanted to ask the nosy man but she tried her best to calm down.
Forget about reaching the lecture hall late but she won't be able to attend Mr Fin's class today if she asked Mr Aidan, these questions.
"Mr Fin's lecture," Joanna replied. She waited expecting to hear the man give her permission to leave but what he said left her dumbfounded.
"Actually, I was about to pass information to his class so let's go together. Who knows I might be able to put in some words for you," Mr Aidan said to the astonishment of not only Joanna but everyone under the sound of his voice.
"...," Joanna was speechless. She wasn't surprised to see the man in a brown suit standing beside Mr Aidan had the same expression as she.
"Didn't you say you were running late so what are you still waiting for?" Mr Aidan was way too calm after leaving everyone speechless.
"Lead the way," Mr Aidan ordered as he moved to the right to create a path for Joanna.
Joanna reluctantly walked ahead of the two men while they followed her from behind.
Inside the hall whose entrance the incident took place, there was Logan watching everything, including the lecherous glances Mr Aidan was throwing at the oblivious Joanna's back.
"I guess the old hag has found his next targets… Too bad he picked the wrong target. I wonder if he will live to tell the story," Logan muttered as he shook his head at the elderly man's ignorance.
Every other person might think that Joanna is the easiest target for anything bad but only he and his friends who have experienced hell because of her would know that was a big fat lie.
She was a walking temptation that everyone should avoid, too bad, not many people know this.
Reaching the large hall, Joanna wasn't surprised to see that the hall was filled up.
Unlike other lecturers, only Mr Fin will set a time for his class and students will arrive at the hall on time.
Forget about taking his course if you missed or arrived late three times to his class. He was such a strict man that none offering his course dared to take his words lightly.
The student in the hall started murmuring the instant Mr Aidan stood in front of the hall.
Their murmurs caused Mr Fin to tilt his neck sideways to see who the hell was disturbing his class.
"Sir," Mr Fin bowed to show respect.
"There is no need for formalities, Fin," Mr Aidan said, waving his hand at him. He paid no attention to the students' murmurs.
Mr Aidan called out Mr Fin who was getting ready to start his class.
As he approached their direction Joanna bowed a bit but Mr Fin did as though he didn't see her.
While they were talking Joanna didn't give a damn what the two elderly people were whispering. To her, the most important thing was attending the class.
"Ok, Sir I will consider it because you are the one who asked me to do it," Mr Fin said. He bowed and walked back to the podium without sparing Joanna a glance.
"Because Mr Fin's class is way too important I won't interrupt his lecture so stop standing here and go in to attend the lecture," Mr Aidan addressed Joanna before he and his personal assistant turned and walked away.
"Didn't you hear what he said or are you waiting for me to echo his words?" Mr Fin's stern voice startled Joanna a little.
"Thank you, Sir," Joanna said as she walked into the hall. She was about to proceed to find a seat but Mr Fin's words made her halt.
"Because Mr Aidan interceded for you doesn't mean you would attend the lecture after arriving late," Mr Fin said. Joanna spun so that she was looking at the man while her back was facing the students.
"If you can't answer the question from our last class then forget about ever attending my class again," Mr Fin stated, his piercing glares fixated on Joanna.
"Would I be allowed to attend the lecture if I answer your question…,"
"Answer the question first before you think about attending it," Mr Fin interrupted sharply.
As Joanna was waiting to hear the man's question, Amos who was hurrying to reach the lecture hall got blocked by the mean witches.
Amos glared at the four ladies standing with their hands folded just below their breasts.
"Do you need something?" Amos asked firmly.
"Do you even need to ask that when we are standing in front of you?" Nora snarled to further annoyance of Amos.
