Irresistible Boss Succumbing to Your Touch (Maria Anita) novel Chapter 482

Flavian’s POV

I had taken the weight of the world off my shoulders. Several days had passed since Sabrina created that circus in my apartment, and after that, she stopped calling me. Manu and I were closer than ever, and even my father had stopped demanding my presence in Bellwood every week.

"Finally, the day has arrived!" Manu watched me adjust my tie through the mirror.

"Hmm! And you seem very excited about it." I glanced sideways at her as she let out a small laugh and squeezed herself between the bathroom counter and me.

"Oh yes, I'm very eager to see my handsome boyfriend talk for an hour about the wonders of being a detective and then spend another hour answering questions from a bunch of eager students." She ran her hands across my chest and kissed my chin.

"I thought you were eager to be fucked by your handsome, well-endowed boyfriend." I wrapped my arms around her waist, teasing her with a kiss behind her ear.

"My boyfriend is full of himself, but yes, I'm always eager for that." She responded with closed eyes, melting in my arms, and I laughed.

"You're the one who makes me cocky, always praising my qualities." I teased her a bit more and sighed. "As much as I want to keep kissing you, we need to go. I'll drop you off at the office and pick you up at the end of the day so we can go to this legal event together."

Manu laughed. She had spent the whole week teasing me about this terrible lecture that Bonfim was forcing me to give. But I couldn't escape it. When I arrived at the university campus with Manu at the end of the day, I said goodbye to her in the parking lot - she was heading to the library while I had to check in at the course coordination office before the lecture.

The coordinator who had organized the event received me with great enthusiasm, which I hadn't expected, but he was apparently very grateful that I had included this lecture in my commitments. I was introduced to various other university members, and after exchanging pleasantries, it was finally time to address that crowd of college students.

I entered the auditorium, and before going up to the stage, I saw Manu sitting in a seat at the end of the middle row. Next to her was a guy around her age, maybe a bit older. He said something close to her ear that made her laugh, and then he put his arm around her shoulders. I didn't like that one bit.

I was introduced to the young audience and then began to speak. It was the most endless hour of my life. For the next hour, I spoke to a bunch of students who looked at me as if they were interested, but their minds were probably elsewhere. However, what really bothered me more and more was my girlfriend's little friend. That guy kept passing notes to Manu and whispering things very close to her ear, and then he would put his arm around her shoulder. I wanted to jump off the stage, go over there, throw Manu over my shoulders, and never let her set foot in this university again. But I couldn't - after all, I wasn't a caveman.

When I finally finished speaking, I received applause, and the event coordinator came up to the stage and announced that I would be answering questions for the next hour and explained how it would work. I wanted to roll my eyes, huff, and turn my back on him. I had never done anything more boring in my entire life. And on top of that, I had to watch some guy coveting my girlfriend the whole time.

The questions began, and I tried to pay attention to each one and answer as best I could, but I was already losing patience with that guy who only paid attention to my girlfriend. At one point, I was already tired, and there was still at least half an hour left of this torture. I started walking through the aisles between the theater seats while answering questions, stopped right next to Manu, and looked at her as she gave me a smile.

I stayed there while answering a question and saw the moment when the guy placed a note on top of her notes. I was about ready to beat up that insolent kid, and there wasn't a hint of humor in my expression. He needed to know she was mine. In a quick gesture, I grabbed the note and put it in my jacket pocket. The guy looked at me as if I had two heads, and I smiled at Manu, who seemed to understand that I was pissed off with that kid. For the rest of the time, I stayed there beside her.

When that tedious affair finally ended, I returned to the stage and received congratulations from the coordinator. Some students came to talk to me, which I hadn't expected and was more than I could handle, but I spoke to each one politely, though without humor. Soon I saw Manu approach with that kid on her heels, they were close enough to me that I could hear their talk.

"Manu, let's go to the bar, everyone's going, we can have some drinks, talk, and then I'll take you home," he said and touched her arm.

"No, PH, I'm tired, I already told you," Manu replied very politely.

"Then why don't you agree to have dinner with me? We can go somewhere quieter, talk a bit. It's still early. Come on, Manu, let's go out." That needy puppy was blatantly hitting on my girlfriend, and my patience had run out long ago.
