Chapter 32. Family Affair

33 Chapter 32. Family Affair

As my hand had just touched the door handle to get out of the room, Diamond hugged my waist affectionately from behind. A sweet smile adorned her face.

"I'll call you again tomorrow," she said in a soft voice, avoiding being heard by people who were waiting outside. We have also worn and tidied up our clothes.

I glanced and smirked at her.

"Just text me, don't call me using the announcements like before." I'm sure she already has it since it's in my profile .

"Alright, see you tomorrow." Her hands released me slowly, her sweet smile replaced by a formal smile as my hand unlocked the door.

After the door opened wide, she spoke again.

"I expect a lot from an outstanding student like you, Ethan." Her voice was clear since she intended to be heard by all the people outside. We have talked about this and agreed to tell everyone that Diamond called to invite me to participate in her project. It's also an excuse to avoid other suspicions because, after this, I need to come to her office every day.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Miss Diamond," I said, bowing my head slightly and stepping my feet out of the room. Some pale-faced security were waiting outside, while Larry and Olivia were standing behind them with the same expressions. I'm not confused by Larry's presence, but I'm quite surprised by Olivia's.

One of the security approached me.

"Are you okay? Do I need to take you to the infirmary?" His worries were clearly sounded from his voice, his eyes checking my body made sure at least I was 'looking okay' since they knew what was going on through the CCTVs. As for the others, Diamond has told me not to worry about it, since her office is soundproof.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

"I'm fine. There's no need to worry about me," I replied.

"Come inside. I have something to say," Diamond said to the security.

The security exchanged glances briefly as their faces grew paler and they entered the room without saying anything.

After the door closed, Larry and Olivia approached me.

"What happened? Why does the security look so worried?" Larry asked.

"It's nothing. There was a little trouble with the CCTVs, so they thought something had happened to us," I reasoned.

"Then why did Miss Diamond call you? Did she expel you from the college?" Olivia asked. Her face which usually looks fierce also looks pale in worry.

"No, she just wants to invite me to participate in her new project."

"What project?" she asked again curiously. It's rare for an early semester's student like me to be invited to participate in a project, since usually Diamond only involves senior students or professionals.

"I can't say it, because it's still raw ideas."

Although Olivia still seemed to doubt me, Larry heaved a sigh of relief as he opened his arms to embrace me.

A breath came out of my mouth. Although his words sound annoying, but I know he is actually very worried about me.

"Thank you ..." I said in a soft voice.

"Are you two really just friends?" Olivia's voice interrupted us.

Larry let go of his arms and we both turned to Olivia.

"He got it wrong, I just ---" my words stopped. How can I explain the hissing sound? My cellphone's sound? But that doesn't sound like a ringtone. Saying that's not me? But Larry clearly saw me go in there, while I had checked no one in the toilet before.

Larry gave me a pat on my shoulder and smiled. "It's okay, I understand. You must be---- Mmpphh ..." I immediately covered Larry's mouth with my hand to stop his blabbering.

"Excuse me, I want to talk privately with him for a moment," I said, pulling Larry away from Olivia with an awkward smile. But Olivia caught my sweater, preventing me from leaving.

"Ethan, you don't need to be embarrassed. I can understand your feelings." Olivia's voice sounded softer than usual. Her eyes that had been staring at me fiercely now looked at me deeply.

Larry raised his thumb as if to say 'Nice move, Olivia.'

"But I'm not crying ---" A kiss on my cheek made me stop my sentence. Larry and I were silent as statues while Olivia immediately turned her red face.

"I told you, you don't need to be embarrassed," she murmured. Her eyes stole her gaze at me. I can only be thankful there is no one beside us now.

Larry pulled my hand over his mouth and escaped from there as fast as possible.

"I just remembered, I haven't fed my cat! Goodbye everyone!" he said as he hurriedly ran to save himself.

I know he's clearly lying since his mother has an animal allergy.

After Larry left, we were silents in awkwardness with blushing faces. Although I kissed women so many times, but only I do it when we are having sex. But if it comes suddenly like this ... Somehow I feel embarrassed.

"Ethan, don't you want to say something to me?" she said without turning her gaze at me.

What should I tell her? Do I have to say 'So you want to be my partner? Alright, since I've also banged your mother, how about having a threesome? Maybe I can get a new title from it. Ahahahaha ---- ' Okay ... She will definitely break my 'future' in half after I say it.

Olivia approached me and looked at my face closely, her eyes watching my expression carefully and aware of the confusion that was clearly visible on my face.

"Don't tell me you haven't had any experience with this?"

"That's ..." I'm really confused how to explain it. Yesterday Celia also just confessed her feelings to me so that does not mean I never have any experience with this. Although I'm happy there was someone who fell in love with me as myself, as Ethan. But won't our relationship be complicated later? No, in fact, our relationship is already complicated and I don't want to make it worse anymore.

She grabbed my hand and pulled me.

"Since this is your first time, I will show you how," she said with a smile.

"Where are we going?" I asked as I walked along.

"We are going to date. Just think of it as my apology for making you cry earlier. But you're a man, you should say it if you have feelings for me," she said as she continued to pull me nonchalantly.

I'm doomed! She swallowed Larry's words without a second thought.

"Wait! I really didn't cry. Besides, I have a work schedule today." I can't say that I have no feelings for her. Since my fight with Franz in Nighthallow City a few days ago my desire to protect her remained. I don't understand why, since I never felt this way. After I turned into a demon, my desire to protect and dominate for my friends, my family, my partners is so strong. I can only guess this has something to do with my demonic instinct. Even though it sounds strange, but when I decide to raise my fist and fight for them or when they have made love with me, I assume they are someone that I must protect.

"At what time?"

"05.00 PM in Nighthallow City. If I don't go now I will be late." It is 04.23 PM now, I have to chase my train immediately.

She smiled at me.

"Then how about I take you there? I also want to go to Nighthallow City."
