Lein Wyatt (HOD)
(Leans back in his chair)
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
(gaze fixed on Valentine)
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
So .. Professor Valentine
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
Let's cut to the chase
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
What's going on between you and Nian?
Valentine Sinclair
(Shifts uncomfortably )
Valentine Sinclair
What do you mean ??
Valentine Sinclair
There is nothing going on
Valentine Sinclair
Nian is just a student and I'm his teacher
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
(raises his eyebrows skeptically)
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
Spare me the formalities, Valentine
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
I have known you since a long time
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
I've seen the way you two interact
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
Don't play dumb with me
Valentine Sinclair
(swallows hard)
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
You know the rules of this university as well as I do.
Valentine Sinclair
(avoiding Lein's piercing gaze)
Valentine Sinclair
Look, I care about Nian, but it's purely professional.
Valentine Sinclair
I wouldn't jeopardize my career or his education.
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
(Shakes his head)
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
You're skating on thin ice, Valentine.
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
You know the consequences if anyone finds out about this
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
The university doesn't take these matters lightly, especially with a teacher and a student involved.
Valentine Sinclair
(Nods solemnly)
Valentine Sinclair
I understand, Lein.
Valentine Sinclair
I'll be more cautious from now on.
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
(Fixes Valentine with a stern look)
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
I hope you do.
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
This isn't just about your reputation
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
It's about Nian's future too
Lein Wyatt (HOD)
Don't forget that.
Valentine Sinclair
Thanks for the reminder, Lein. I'll keep that in mind.
With a nod of farewell, Valentine exits Lein's cabin, the gravity of their conversation weighing heavily on his mind.
