Chapter 4

Everyone was laughing and chattering when he made his presence known. It took them 1 second to shut their mouth upon seeing the most feared professor in the entire university.

“Now you know how to shut your damn mouth. This is a higher education institute not some silly secondary school you all wanted to make a chaos. Grow up, all of you!”

No one was dared to cross him. All the sound was made by the air conditioners. Not a single one of them wants to meet the professor in the eye. The look their professor was giving them was not something they wanted to treasure in their memories.

“Unfortunately, I will take over this class which are full of dunderheads who are not taking their education seriously. May I reprimand you that this university that all of you are currently further your study is one of the best university in the world. Do not mess your oppurtunity to study here and start to do well in your exam!” Snapped him bitterly.

Sian had enough of this. Well, he had been teaching for 20 years for god sake! How old he is now? The only people who wanted to learn is not even reaching to 50 over thousand hundreds people here. and it began to disappointed him.

“Before we start our lesson, anyone from you is not in the class? Or perhaps has an idea to go to somewhere else instead of learning new things?”

When no one made a move to tell him, his patience wearing thin.

“What? No one going to tell me or everyone is here? How fascinating” When someone about to raise her hand and tell him the truth, a knock on the door was heard.

“There, there. I thought all of you are here. How disappointing”

Without second thought, Sian turned his body and face to face with a woman he never thought he will met again.

“Forgive me, professor. I was in the loo”

Sian cannot speak or snapped at her for being late. He was lost in his thoughts. He wanted to faint but someone yell and brought him back to reality.

“Professor!” He turned to find Andrew Garner who was looking at him with curiousity in his eyes.

“Are we going to learn now or do you need to lecture Jane in front of the door?” That nerves of the boy! Everyone was gaping like a fish when the boy was brave enough to talk to the professor in that way.

The girl no…a young woman really who is currently in front of the door looked slightly curious and has no idea why the professor stared at her in that manner.

“Professor, are you alright?” she asked with concerned.

Sian who was snapped back from his thought sneered at her.

“There he go, our snarky bastard professor are back” whispered the students quietly.

“And what do you think Miss….?”

“Forster, sir”

“Miss Forster, what are your reason to come into my class so late? Where’s your manners?”

Something inside Jane snapped and she replied in a really dangerous voice,

“As I said earlier, I was in the loo. And for manners, I think I already said sorry to you, sir. No offence but it was you who was staring at me the whole time the moment I knocked at your door”

Everyone in the hall gasped in shock. Who was this creature? They all looked at their professor and found him seething. The look he was giving Jane could kill her on the spot.

“Are you questioning my credibility, young woman?” Snapped him with murderous voice he could mustered

Jane held her head high so she could met the professor in the eye.

“No, sir”

“What’s your full name?”

“Jane Forster”

Sian’s face looked soften. He wanted to say something to the young woman but instead of openly apologize for his mistake, he made a move to face the other students in the hall.

“Meet me in my office after this lecture. Do not be late” he said without turning to look at her. With that, he let Jane to her seat and started his lecture.
