Chapter 1727
Skyler unconsciously glanced at the professor lecturing on the stage. The professor’s attention was also drawn to Zavier. Luckily, the professor was easy-going and didn’t get mad. “Mr. Rivera, let’s discuss matters after class, please. No need to disrupt everyone’s learning.”
“Sure thing, Professor,” Zavier complied obediently, then strode over to where Skyler was sitting, fixating on Emma who was seated next to her.
Emma, ever so considerate, promptly stood up, offering her seat to Zavier. “Here, Zavier, take my spot.”
Zavier sat down beside Skyler and whispered, “Why didn’t you add me on WhatsApp?”
All eyes were on them, making Skyler extremely uncomfortable, her head nearly buried into the desk. “I didn’t bring my phone. I was about to ask Emma to message you back when you showed up.”
Zavier queried, “Why not bring your phone?”
Skyler responded, “I want to pay attention during class.”e2
Zavier pressed, “Really? Or you just don’t want to add me?”
Skyler, exasperated, retorted, “Do you want to pat me down to see if I have a phone on me?”
“That won’t be necessary,” Zavier said. “After class, once you get your phone, add me immediately. I need to talk to you.” Skyler asked, “About what?”
Zavier suddenly turned serious, “We should focus on the lecture now. After class, add me on WhatsApp, and I’ll tell you.” With that, he stood up and left.
As he walked away, everyone still stared at Skyler as if she were an exhibit. Skyler muttered under her breath, “Unbelievable.” Zavier was a piece of work, always acting without considering the consequences. He seemed oblivious to the concept of embarrassment, and apparently thought nobody else understood it either.
Emma sat back down beside Skyler, smirking mischievously. “Skyler, you say your engagement to Zavier was arranged by your families, but it seems like he’s quite into you. Especially the way he was looking at you just now.”
Skyler reprimanded, “Focus on the lecture, and stop talking about irrelevant people.”
Emma protested, “He’s your fiancé, hardly irrelevant.”
“Back to class, Emma,” Skyler insisted..
Emma was about to reply when a buzz from another WhatsApp group caught her attention.
A message popped up, [OMG, Zavier just came to our classroom looking for Skyler, asking why he wasn’t added on WhatsApp. Did Skyler get mad at something Zavier did and delete him?]
Someone immediately chimed in, [LOL, never thought the day would come to see the the arrogant and presumptuous Zavier in such a plight. He looked so pitiful and cute when he came to find Skyler.]
[Is it for real?] another asked.
A picture snapped on the sly as proof was promptly shared in the group, [These two are like something out of a billionaire romance novel.]
The group’s chatter grew more animated, and Emma joined in, her attention to the lecture completely gone.
After class, Skyler rushed back to her dorm, grabbed her phone, and immediately added Zavier as a WhatsApp contact.
Upon accepting the request, Zavier quickly messaged, [Heard you penned and composed the theme song for that hit show that’s all the rage now?]
Skyler replied, [Yeah, what about it?]
Zavier continued, [That song is topping the charts on all major music platforms. You must be raking it in from this one.]
Skyler simply answered, [Yeah. Is that what you wanted to talk about?]
After a brief pause, Zavier messaged again, [The song you did for my company’s game has gone viral, even folks who don’t game. are singing it. Now, with this smash-hit TV show’s theme song being even more popular than the show itself, topping music charts left and right with songs you’ve written and composed. Skyler, just think about the value you’re holding now.)
