One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 86 Edwin

1 adjusted my mask for what felt like the hundredths time that night, trying to ignore the discomfort of the rough edge against my skin. The brown colored contacts I had put in to disguise my natural gray eye color were making my eyes burn, and my fresh**en face was itching incessantly. I usually kept a bit of stubble, but I couldn't risk being recognized tonight.

"This is quite the party. Charles mused from beside me, swirling his drink around in his glass. "I didn't expect so many people to be here."

"It's the spring equinox. It's a big deal around these parts." I replied.

"I see Charles turned in his seat, his eyes surveying the party. I had, of course, brought him with me; not so much because I felt like I needed the help tonight, although that was part of it in case the proverbial ***hit the fan, but more so for the

"Another drink, sir?" the bartender asked, eyeing my nearly emply glass.

I nodded, sliding my glass to him. He refilled it with scotch and moved on to the next attendee, leaving me and Charles alone again.

"You haven't spotted her yet?" Charles asked from behind the white mask that covered the left half of his face.

I shook my head. "No. Maybe she didn't come after all
