Chapter 40 Audrey
I stared back at Edwin in confusion, his words ringing in my ears. Too busy thinking about boys? What was he implying, exactly?
"I'm sorry, Professor," I said carefully, trying to keep my tone neutral despite the slight flush that was starting to creep up the back of my neck. "I'm not sure if I follow. Are you insinuating that I was... distracted this weekend?" Edwin's lips pressed into a flat line as he slowly walked around his desk. With each step, the fibers on his sweater seemed to strain further against his broad chest. I swallowed hard, struggling to meet his intense gaze. "I'm saying," he began in a measured tone, "that mistakes like this don't happen unless your mind is elsewhere. And from what I saw, your mind seemed pretty preoccupied with... fraternizing."
My brow furrowed. "Fraternizing? What are you talking a**"

Anyone could clearly see the heated look in his eyes, the way my fingers dug into his picep as I leaned against the wall behind me. The tiny smile on my lips, my chin tilted up by his right hand.
My cheeks burned with a mixture of embarrassment and anger. I hadn't known anyone- had taken that photo, let alone posted it online. That moment was supposed to be private, personal... intimate.
I can't say I'm surprised," Edwin suddenly said, his tone tense "Vouch of one for discretion, have words. "Excuse me?" I bit out. "What's that supposed to mean?"
Edwin arched an eyebrow but didn't respond, simply staring at me with an impassive gaze as he slipped his phone back into his pocket. After a few tense moments of silence, he cleared his throat.
"Well. I think you and I both know that sort of entanglement is a conflict of interest." When I opened my mouth to protest, he quickly cut me off with a curt wave of his hand. "Which is exactly why I cannot, in good conscience, allow you to continue serving as my teaching assistant if you plan on carrying on like that."
My jaw dropped as the meaning of his words sank in. "You... you can't be serious," I said with a wry laugh. But Edwin just stared at me, his expression showing no signs of
humor.
