Chapter 1040 Under the School's Stairway

Now that the bell has rung, the countdown has begun. Most teachers already wait outside the classroom and enter as soon as the previous lecturer leaves, but Rize was different.

Not only was she an intern, but she had the most lectures in the school. Of course, she was paid accordingly. Since Rize always had lectures, she takes about two minutes to enter the classroom. Sometimes, she would go to the staffroom to get her stuff, sometimes to her office to grab the books related to the classes.

Both Rudy and Janet were aware of that and they had to get back to the classroom before Rize.

"Can't we talk about this later? We are getting late!" Janet suggested an idea that benefited her.

"No. It won't even take a minute for you to answer all of my questions. Just answer them honestly and I will let you go."

"You know that this can be considered sexual harassment, right? If someone were to see us, you will be suspended, or in the worst case, expelled."

Since the pleading didn't work, Janet resorted to threatening. But of course, Rudy had already thought of each and every excuse Janet might make.

"Don't worry. We can't be seen unless someone is thinking of doing the same thing as us." Rudy casually shrugged off Janet's threat.

"And even if someone were to see us, I would change their perspective," he added immediately.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Janet asked with a curious yet confused look on her face. She understood what Rudy said, but couldn't understand how he would do that.

"Simple." He smirked slightly and continued, "I will turn you around and kiss you on the lips. So if a student sees us, they will simply walk away. And if a teacher sees us, they will warn us and possibly shout at us."

"Like they would believe you if they see you forcing yourself on me," Janet chuckled. "I would scream if you even tried to do that. I can even go to the cops with that and get you arrested."

Rudy slowly moved his face close to Janet's ear from behind and whispered, "Does that mean you don't want to kiss me?"

Janet was continuously trying to break free from Rudy's grip, saying, "When did you become so strong?"

However, when Rudy whispered those words to her, she stopped struggling and submitted herself to Rudy by leaning on his chest.

"You are so cruel.." she muttered.

Rudy turned her around and looked into her eyes. He felt bad for pulling a move like that, but he couldn't apologise to her. After all, she had never apologised for the stuff she had done to him in the past.

With somewhat teary eyes, Janet looked at Rudy and said, "You have changed. It's like you are a completely different person."

- [cuz even Rudy won't dare to miss the next lecture.]

After reading the chats, Rudy couldn't believe his eyes.

"The way she talks to you in texts is completely different from the way she talks to me..." Rudy muttered.

"Duh! She speaks to you formally!"

"Argh, forget it." Rudy looked into Janet's eyes with a serious expression on his face and asked, "Now, tell me. Why am I being ignored by Alice?"

A confused expression appeared on Janet's face. With a puzzled look, she asked, "Do you seriously not know that?"

"No...? Why would I ask if I knew?"

Janet's gaze sharpened, as though she was angry.

"You already have a girlfriend, and yet you kissed her and started dating her. She is feeling guilty about this!"

"..."

'So the guilt was eating her...'

"Uhh... I broke up with my girlfriend, actually." Rudy thought of the best way to get out of the situation. After all, he didn't know who his girlfriend was.

"Don't lie!" Janet suddenly shouted. "I just talked to her this morning, and she was talking about returning to school soon to spend more time with you!"

'Wait a damn minute... My so-called girlfriend studies in this school? Who the hell is it?'

Since Janet had told him that she had talked with his girlfriend in the morning, he decided to check her recent calls.

'If my girlfriend studies in this school and everyone knows her, her contact must be added by the name. I will see who it is. Maybe I will get some clues? I don't see anyone absent in my class, so is she a senior or a junior?

Wait, no... the school was closed because of the apocalypse and the only senior batch we had has already graduated. We don't have seniors! I can't see myself dating a younger girl... but she could also be from a different class, though!'

Rudy checked the list and there were only three people on Janet's recent call list.

First one was Rachel, Janet's mother. Second was Alice. And the third was... Erika.
