Chapter 397

Lucas was feeling like a new man while Ashlyn’s back was killing her. It was indeed a strong contrast between the two.

Ashlyn could not figure out how the man could still look so energetic after exerting himself so much.

The vigor he had was unbelievable.

When Ashlyn was deep in thought, someone suddenly knocked on the door of her office.

Ashlyn took a deep breath to recollect herself before calmly responding, “Come in.”

Though she could see the doorknob being turned, the door remained closed.

She then remembered that the door was still locked. So, she kicked Lucas and ordered, “Go unlock the door.”

Lucas, the arrogant but handsome captain, did as he was told and moved his long slender legs to get the door open.

The person on the other side of the door was stunned to see a man when the door finally opened.

Worried that he might have knocked on the wrong door, Principal Potter quickly took another glance at the name on the door to make sure.

Looking puzzled, he hesitantly asked, “Mr. Nolan, would this be Dr. Berry’s office?”

Lucas did not wear a friendly face towards the old man who had interrupted his time with his girl.

“What do you want with Dr. Berry, Principal Potter?”

It was supposed to be just the two of us!

What the hell are these old geezers doing here?

Lucas had donated quite a significant amount to the university after asking for Principal Potter’s help last time.

Out of respect, Principal Potter responded to him, “Oh, the thing is we’re hoping to invite Dr. Berry to give a lecture. Would you mind letting us in, Mr. Nolan?”

After glancing at the assistant and a few other directors behind Principal Potter, Lucas reluctantly got out of their way and let the old men in.

“Ashlyn’s inside. Come on in.”

Principal Potter had noticed how Lucas treated Ashlyn differently since the last time they met, but he had never expected to meet Lucas in Ashlyn’s office.

Doesn’t this president have a great deal of business to tend to? Why is he lounging about in Dr. Berry’s office?

They couldn’t have been just talking, could they?

Principal Potter could not help but let his imagination wander.

“Principal Potter, directors, please have a seat,” invited Ashlyn after standing up behind her desk.

She then glanced at the tall man who refused to leave her alone. What an eyesore!

“Why aren’t you serving the directors tea? Get me my Oolong tea,” ordered Ashlyn.

A useless eye sore, that is.

Lucas kept his silence as he thought to himself.

Oh, I dare them to have me serve them tea!

The directors quickly stood up in a panic. “We’re good. You don’t have to do that, Mr. Nolan.”

They would not even dream of having Lucas serve them.

Doing as he was told, Lucas grabbed the Oolong tea from the cabinet and proceeded to make some tea.

Ashlyn was the only person who could have ordered him around like a servant.

What a surprise!

Mr. Nolan is actually making tea like Ashlyn ordered.

Feeling uncomfortable about it, Principal Potter immediately tried to help out, “Let me do it, Mr. Nolan.”

“You’re our guest, Principal Potter. Leave him be. He can do it,” assured Ashlyn as she glanced at Lucas once again. Let’s see how vigorous you are now. This will keep you busy.

Meanwhile, Lucas was deep in his own thoughts. ‘Our guest’? So I guess we’re together now that she’s started to use the word ‘our’.

It’s only fair that I serve these old geezers since I’m also the host here.

With that thought in mind, Lucas had no problem with making the tea and serving the old men. They thanked him profusely, “Thank you, Mr. Nolan. You’re too kind.”

Mr. Granger even had to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He never thought he would be fortunate enough to enjoy the tea made by Mr. Nolan himself.

Ashlyn was very much amused at the sight of the directors, who were revered among the students, panicking, “So what do you have for me?”
