Chapter 91 Pretending To Be Innocent
Lydia was genuinely pouring out her heart to the professor, who was serving as the replacement. Her gestures were clearly saying that she was head over heels for Kayden. However Ceres did not inquire about that lucky guy for whom she was willing to leave everything. Because he could significantly see Lydia's emotions in her eyes without any hidden interests.
No doubt it fascinated him about the loyalty she had towards her boyfriend. And it reminded him about the former Queen, Ceres could not help but shake his head to dismiss the thoughts. He could not accept the fact that he understood the former queen's situation at that moment. Which in turn would question his loyalty towards Evilrite, the current conqueror of Beelzebelle.
She sounded confident in her decision, Ceres did not object to it since it was not his place. Ceres was not there to serve as counsellor for the kids, thus he was willing to let Lydia stay there for further studies.
"Yes, sir. I will sacrifice everything to be with him."
However Ceres was genuinely taken aback by her determination and nodded in agreement to approve her application.
"Okay, I will approve your application. But you have to rewrite it, including a valid reason for staying here. Since you are refusing a bright future all by yourself, I would require your guardian's signature too if they are alive."
Ceres reached for the files placed nearby on the table pretending to be busy. Since his guess about Lydia was already proven wrong, he did not want to waste any more energy on her.
Whereas Lydia took the offence towards his words for questioning about her guardian like that. How could she bear Ceres, an ordinary professor talking carelessly about her father who was an alpha member of the special squad!? The woman smashed her right fist over the table with glaring crimson eyes.
"You should not talk about my father like that! He deserves respect and to be honoured by a mere professor like you!"
Ceres was amused by Lydia's sudden extreme reaction. Her words forced him to think that Lydia's father must be some authoritative person. Or else she wouldn't have reacted with such confidence.
Ceres leaned back on the chair with his provocative face darted towards her. His challenging eyes irked Lydia as Ceres deliberately provoked her by those actions to see her potential. Lydia wouldn't act rashly if she was not capable of fighting him physically. Similarly her belonging to class A was a safe card to play if she could not win.
"Behave, Miss Coulter. Have you forgotten how to talk to your seniors? Or do you want your application rejected as a punishment?"
The cunning man put her in one place by hitting her weak nerve, Lydia curled her fingers into fists and gritted her teeth. She could not afford to go against Ceres at that moment because he held the authority over her stay.
Lydia turned around and stormed out of the office without looking back, after all alologizng for something right was not in her nature. The woman closed the door by literally banging it, to indicate the ventilation of her anger. However Ceres was amused and chuckled at her obedience which fell in her ears making Lydia enraged.
She was not a weak girl anymore, Lydia could fight him if she wanted to. Although winning was not certain because Ceres was a powerful incubus. And Lydia was bound to stay calm if she intended to confirm her stay there with Kayden. She stood outside his office and glared at the name plate with resentment.
'Just a few more days and then I will take my revenge from you for disrespecting my father!'
Lydia was genuinely surprised who even hired Ceres because as the professor he was supposed to know every single student's guardian. It was to know the consequences and predict the treatment towards the students. Even though the institute was apparently teaching student without any bias but the treatment of professors varied among the classes.
Lydia raised her right hand as her eyes glowed crimson red with golden flecks in them. The woman was angry and cut the name plate into two with her long nails. Lydia did not care whether anyone caught her doing it or not, nor did she care about hiding her powers. It was evident that she has transformed into a better version of herself, which was unexpected for perhaps everyone around her.
"I will definitely see you. Just wait and watch!"
She muttered under her breath while heading towards the exit of the arcade. Lydia was so blinded by rage that she did not see the male student coming towards her. She was in her own reverie when her shoulder collided with that of male student. Lydia immediately looked back and glared at him with blood lust.
The boy turned around with a poker face while he was grabbing her hand. The student had seen her coming towards the arcade and followed Lydia. His expressions significantly displayed lust which Lydia could feel from his eyes.
"Hi there, cutie. Are you lost?"
It was totally a stupid question to ask but he still chose that one to initiate the conversation.
"Leave my hand!"
Lydia glared at him and ordered in a curt tone without even flinching. She was already driven by rage when Lydia came out of Ceres' office. But perhaps that boy had the worst timing out of all the people. He confidently stared at her and pulled Lydia closer with one sudden movement.
"Playing hard to get, uh? I saw you staring at me, don't pretend to be innocent."
The boy reached for her other hand and tucked Lydia with the wall. Whereas the woman was totally unmoved by his actions and did not even flinch at his doings. She was once a weak vampire but now Lydia possessed immense power. She had nothing to be afraid of because she could clearly acknowledge it.
