(Author’s POV)
"Myra, are you alright?" Yelena asked, her voice filled with concern as Myra staggered when she tried to walk.
Myra brushed aside her discomfort, saying, "My legs just went numb. I have been sitting for too long in a same position, maybe that’s why. Don’t worry, I am fine." She smiled as she said this.
"Ms. Miracle, let me help you," Fabian suggested and came forward but Myra politely declined his offer.
Fabian who was standing on the other side from the table came rushing towards Myra when he saw her fumbling with her initial steps. He thought it was because of the cast on her ankle and Myra was just trying to downplay her uncomfortableness.
He apologized in advanced, "My apologies," and in one swift motion scooped Myra off of her feet and into his firm embrace effortlessly.
The look of disbelief was quite evident on both the girls faces. They were stunned at what just happened.
Myra protested, her voice a bit shrill, "Professor Stephens, please put me down. This is not appropriate."
Yelena didn’t know how to react. She was stunned into silence.
Fabian spoke casually, his voice calm and calculated, "Your ankle is already in bad shape. I will just help you to your car. Ms. Yates, after you."
Yelena snapped out of it and spoke, "Yeah .... Oh yes. This way, Professor Fabian."
She turned around and walked hurried, her face had an odd expression plastered on it as she thought about Fabian’s actions, ’Is he somehow interested in Myra? Maybe he is. I will ask him directly when he is comfortable around me.’
Myra still didn’t give up. She was super uncomfortable. In Kimberg, those Alpha brothers used to carry her like a newborn baby. Whether it was Dion or Alaric. Now, Fabian’s actions reminded her of that time. Her face turned unintentionally crimson.
The girl who has never had any kind of physical contact with the opposite gender was being carried by these handsome and pretty boys. These two, three weeks have been unexpectedly wild.
"Professor Stephens, please~," Myra was interrupted by Fabian. "Careful Ms. Miracle, there are stairs. Hold onto me tight," Fabian commented playfully though his tone remained concerned.
Soon they were out of the restaurant as Fabian, very respectfully placed her. The parking was valet so they were already standing in front of Yelena’s car.
"Thanks for your help. But please, don’t do it again," Myra said and scurried inside the passenger seat.
Yelena looked at Fabian with a mixed feeling and then said, her cheerful smile back, "Professor Fabian, have a wonderful day ahead. And let’s keep in touch."
Fabian nodded respectfully as he adjusted his glasses, "I will. Drive carefully and take care of yourselves, Ms. Yates, Ms. Miracle, I am sorry for overstepping."
Myra wanted to say a lot of things but she had to maintain her cool. She has to talk to Fabian about the scholarship so she kept quiet.
Yelena entered her vehicle and they took off. Fabian could only see the car’s taillights which soon disappeared as well. After making sure that they were completely gone, he called some, "Come now." His voice which was humble and meek a few minutes ago had taken a sudden shifted to cold and emotionless.
He walked out to the main gate of the restaurant and there stood a charcoal Aston Martin Valour model. The driver had opened the back door as he was waiting for Fabian to enter.
Fabian casual posture turned into elegant one as she settled inside the car.
Yelena and Myra didn’t speak much inside the car. They were both tangled in their own inner thoughts.
Myra was devising a plan to tell Sandra and William about the shift while Yelena was thinking about Fabian Stephens. She shifted her gaze and looked at Myra, questioning her, "What are you thinking?"
"Huh? What did you say?" Myra didn’t hear Yelena.
"Should I give Dr. Hayden a call? You seem very absent minded today," Yelena suggested.
"No need. You know I am not very good with strangers around," Myra was pointing at Fabian.
"Did Fabian Stephens made you uncomfortable?" Yelena asked curiously.
"Uhhhh~, a little. I don’t like people touching me and it was just a cramp. So ...," Myra answered her true feelings.
"Mm~hmm ...... alright. But apart from that isn’t he a total gentleman? She is an Orford Graduate and now a professor at Red Stone," Yelena added.
Myra thought about Fabian’s actions and yes apart from that princess carry, he had been nothing but respectful towards her and Yelena. She thought, maybe she was thinking too much and overreacted. All of a sudden, she started feeling guilty towards Fabian. After all, he was only helping her. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Yelena asked about her plans, "So, what do you think about the scholarship program? Are you going to apply for it?"
