Genius Girl

Chapter 52 - 52: The Kiss

The principal nodded and got up as well, he turned to Leslie\'s parents with a calm face.

"You heard Mr. Su if you want to press-"

"No, it\'s fine," Leslie\'s father spoke, "This is just a silly fight between kids, no need to trouble the a.d.u.l.ts," he got up as well, walked closer to Evan and stretched a hand.

"I apologize if we wasted your time," Leslie\'s father said.

Evan nodded and accepted his hand, "You will receive a call from my secretary tomorrow," he whispered.

Evan could see the man\'s eyes shine after he said that, he withdrew his hand and turned to Daniella, "Let\'s go," he said with a faint smile.

Daniella nodded and suddenly wondered if Evan will approve the loan request after his niece was hurt.

She walked behind Evan as they strode along the empty hallway, her lips pursed together.

Suddenly a hand gripped hers, entangling their fingers and dragged her to walk faster.

"Mr. Su, my hand," Daniella said.

"You are walking like a turtle," he replied, still dragging her with big steps,

Daniella just followed him; she was forced to walk with big steps despite her short legs.

As she followed Evan, her eyebrows suddenly creased, Evan turned and opened a door with a word \'staff only\' imprinted on it.

Daniella\'s sight darkened as soon as Evan closed the door, based on the air and humidity in the room, she realized that the space was too small.

Evan pinned her against the wall, "Mr. Su-" she called his name in a low voice.

All her words were sunk down her throat when she felt his finger on her lips, his thumb caressed it lightly while on her forehead, she could feel his hot air.

Then his thumb went down to her chin, slightly lifting her head.

As her eyes got used to the darkness, Daniella got a glimpse of Evan\'s brown eyes. Her chest rose up as she exhaled, something is about to happen, she knows that yet she\'s not moving to stop it.

Instead, she closed her eyes and waited for Evan\'s lips to touch her.

And when it did, he gave her a passionate and hot kiss, the one full of emotion.

She felt his fingers holding her chin went down to her neck, and from there, he pulled her closer.

Her hands lifted to wrap around his neck but, it stopped as soon she saw an image of the President and his voice echoing in her mind.

She could only hear his voice saying an incomplete word but one name got stuck in her mind and that was the name, Roman Lee.

Her hands tremble as it slides down back to her side. Her lips had stopped returning Evan\'s kisses and it stayed frosts open.

When Evan distances their lips, Daniella spoke with her lips quivering in shock, "did you just meet the president today?"

"what?"

Her eyes stared at his chest, eyebrows waggles as the confusion filled her mind.

"Why are you questioning him about Senator Villa and Abe, what are you trying to do Evan?"

Evan was taken aback by her question, his mind dazed as he thought on how could she possibly know the conversation he had with the president when there\'s no one in the room except him and the president while Daniella was kilometers away from his office.

He took a step back, his hand on her neck lowered to his side.

"How did you know that?" he asked, for the first time, his voice was strained with fear.

Daniella blinked, her emotion overflowed that she suddenly said those words without thinking, she bit her lips, unsure of what to say.

"Daniella," he called out her name, his hand reached for her but, Daniella shook her head and opened the door with a rush.

She ran, mind filled with questions, wondering why Evan was trying to figure out the connection between the president and the senators.

When she left the building, she saw Selena and Kirby talking next to their car, she rushed to Selena and grabbed her wrist, "Please tell Mr. Su that I will bring Selena back home," she said to Kirby and went straight to her motorcycle.

As she drove out of the school, Daniella\'s mind started questioning Evan\'s motive.

(Does he think I will go after him just because Roman Lee is connected to him?)

(How are they connected? Does his family support the laboratory as well? Does Evan know it)

(No, he wouldn\'t question the President if he knew)

(Maybe his father) thinking that, Daniella\'s jaw gnashed.

(Was it the reason why his father took my mom\'s corpse? If Evan\'s father was on Dr. Lee\'s side then why did Kierry help me?)

(Was he scared that I would go after their bank after knowing his father\'s involvement with the laboratory?)

In the past, she would let Robert take her victim\'s money and she\'s planning to do the same thing to Roman Lee, she was certain of it, or at least she used to but now she started asking herself as well, can she really risk Evan\'s business for her revenge? Would he understand if she explains it to him?

Daniella speeds up.

(Did he really leak the president\'s bank statement to help me or he did it to show that his bank is not involved to the president\'s business)

She bit her lips under her helmet, she was looking straight at the road but her mind was somewhere else.

(Does he really think I would go after his bank? Is that why he tried to be close to me)

Her heart gripped by the thought, what she hated the most is the user type of people, especially the one that tries to win someone\'s heart. She knew this feeling since she has been doing it for years, and, knew the pain she had caused and right now, just the thought of Evan using her, a sinister feeling pounded her chest.

(I need to avoid him. I should avoid him) she mumbled under her helmet.

(Wait!) she suddenly pressed the brake, stopped in the middle of the highway and turned to her back.

(F*ck, I forgot the brat) and with that, she went back to school to get the forgotten brat.
