For the next few days, Kelly went about life as umal. She attended classes when she had them, stayed in the library when she didn’t, and worked part- Sippery in the evenings.
At 10:00 pm, Leon would pick her up other than being constantly on edge, terrified flut Leon might find out, her days were actually fictilling and pleasant.
“You’re this anxious every day. Wouldn’t it be better to just tell Professor Butler?” Melnueniat hold back anymore.

“So what? Then stop working. You’ve got him to support you now. Didn’t you sure he gave you a car?
“He did, but can’t use it.”

Melissa’s heart ached. She had never gone through that herself, but the fact that Kelly would rather tire herself out every day than ask her own p showed just how much she had endured.
Melissa didn’t say anything Kelly saw her expression and knew she felt bad for her, so she quickly smiled. “That’s why I’m trying to emasmuch as I am now Once my belly starts showing. I won’t be able to even if I want to.”
Melisa pouted “Let’s see how long you can keep it from Professor Butler. You’re pregnant with his baby and still sneaking off to work. If he finds out, he’s gonna
Kelly’s face flushed. “Stop talking nose. He would never do something! like that.”
Melissa grinned mischievously. “I’ve heard people like him, the senous–looking type, are the worst in private. Come on, tell me, how perverted is be?”
Kelly shaved her with a glare “Don’t tamish Professor Butler Lke that.”
“oh, please. You’re still calling him Professor Butler? You should be calling him hubby by now”
Before she could finish, kelly had already landed several punches on ber
Kelly knew Leon would find out about her part–time job eventually, but she didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
That evening, she was working at The Sippery as usual. When Sienna saw her, she looked around cautiously, then pulled Kelly into the staff locker room
“Kelly,” Sienna said tentatively. “”What do you think of Gavin?”
Kelly was surprised by the question but gave it some thought. “He doesn’t talk much, but he works hard and seems serious about learning.”
“That’s not what I meant “Sienna hesitated.
Kelly looked at her inconfusion. “I mean, he’s kind of weird.”
“Weird? In what way?”
Kelly looked puzzled, which made Sienna start to doubt herself.
Just then, a customercame in Sienna.couldn’t explain further, and the two returned to work
While taking an order, Kelly noticed Gavin cleaning the table from the previous customer. She watched him for a moment but didn’t see anything out of the
ordinary.
It was a pure coincidence that Leon discovered Kelly wasn’t in the evening self–study session
The teacher in charge of rounds had called in sick. Since Leon had been working late at the school nearly every day, the teacher had reached out and asked if Leon could cover. Lean agreed without hesitation
When he got to Kelly’s class, he scanned the room full of students. She wasn’t among them
His eyes quickly landed on Melissa, who looked like she was trying to disappear into her seat. He knew the was Kelly’s friend.
“You Come out for a moment.” Leon’s eyes were fixed on Melissa.
Under the weight of everyone’s gaze, Melissa stood and walked out to the door, trembling
Leon stood casually, but his presence was intimidating
Everyour in the class perked up their ears, trying to catch what was being said
“Where is she?” Leon’s one was steady, his emotions unreadable.
Melissa watered. “P–Professor Butler, I can’t betray my friend.
Leon tomed to her, his gaze soft. “Do you want to fail this?”
It was the land of gentle threat that cut the deepest,
Just like that, Melissa completely caved, spilling everything she knew about Kelly’s whereabouts
Only then did Leon fully realize that Kelly hadn’t been attending the evening, sel–study session at all these past few days. She had been working at The Sippery
His emotions were complicated.
After he left, Melissa, overwhelmed with guilt, immediately pulled out her phone to call Kelly
Axthe call tang, Melissa silently willed Kelly to pick up. Leon was on his way, and judging by his expression, he wasn’t coming to chat. If Kelly didn’t get herself ready soon, things were about to get ugh.
But the call didn’t go through The phone kept saying that the person was unavailable.
Melissa’s hands dropped at her side, feeling hopeless, She sighed towardly and felt sorry for Kelly
It wasn’t that she wanted to betray Kelly, but Leon had threatened her with failing the course. And if there was one thing Melissa feared more than anything, it was
thanking
Kelly had no idea disaster was on its way. When Melissa called, abig onder had just come in at the shop. She was busy helping to get the beverages ready, and with het phone buzzing nonstop in het pocket, she had no time to check it
When things finally calmed down, she wiped her damp hands, pulled out her phone, and saw that Melissa had called her over ten times, she wondered what had happened and got a bad feeling.
Just as she was about to call back, the shop door opened, and footsteps came in.
Standing by the register, she instinctively greeted, “Welcome. What can get you?”
She looked up. Leon was standing right there.
Kelly froze. Her eyes widened in panic.
Before she could even think, she dropped into a crouch, instinct taking over. Her brain scrambled for an escape plan, but it was clear–there was no way out of this
Resigned, she stood up and torced a grin.
“Hey, Professor Butler. Fancy running into you here.”
