A sleek black Range Rover, understated but shining with luxury, zipped down the street, while Walter did not hesitate to ring up Evangeline.

Lucky for her, the thirteenth floor of the main teaching building was a ghost town, and the conference room was buzzing with chatter, so her phone's sudden ring went unnoticed. She saw Walter's name on the screen, and her brow creased with annoyance.

To dodge his relentless nagging and not put off her chat with the school folks, she figured she had better get this headache out of the way.

The moment she answered, Evangeline let her irritation show, no holds barred. "Mr. Walter Gordon, in

e you missed the memo, we're about to be exes. If it's not life-threatening, can you not mess with my day, please?"

She had worked hard to lock away her feelings for Walter. If he kept popping up, how was she supposed to forget him?

Walter was having none of it, even more ticked off than she was. "Who says. I've got nothing important? Trust me, this is top-tier urgent!"

Evangeline's finger itched to end the call, not in the mood to waste a single

It did not make sense, but Walter did not sound like he was in the mood for arguments. Thus, to dodge any drama, Evangeline decided to head to the gate to wait.

She thought about Alex, busy in the meeting room, and shot him a quick message to say she would be late because something came up.

What really surprised her was that Alex texted back right away with a simple, [Got it.]

Listening to the clash of wits in the meeting room, she realized that even the super-organized Alex could sneak in a quick text at work.

He was pretty much excelling in every other aspect of life, though. Alex was just that kind of perfect.

Walter and Evangeline had set a time to meet, but poor David, the assistant, was in a difficult situation.

He had Walter's whole day planned out, and they were almost at the office when Walter decided to change course. David could only sigh as he turned the car around, the office building so close yet suddenly out of reach.

Evangeline spotted Walter's Land Rover, which was supposed to be inconspicuous but stuck out like a sore thumb, parked near the entrance of Avalon University. Without a second thought, she swung the door open and hopped in. David, sensing he was a third wheel, had

She pulled out a compact mirror to fix her windblown hair and asked casually, "So, what's the big emergency that you just had to see me about?" She was not buying that Walter had rushed over just for a quick chat.
