Kaylee stepped inside and saw her fiancé… her professor was sitting there typing something on his black laptop. She thought that her feelings would not waver and would still be calm even though she saw the man's face.

Even if she failed to keep her calm, she would feel hurt again, considering that man had a secret affair with another girl.

But it was neither.

On the contrary, she felt unbearable longing and yearning for that man's touch. She didn't know that she missed her fiancé… she craved the man's big hand when Declan held her hand… or when the man stroked her cheek or patted the top of her head gently.

They haven't seen each other in two days because Kaylee never picked up the man's call. She felt hurt, angry, disappointed so that her entire system refused to hear or see him.

Kaylee knew that Declan had come to the studio building and her house apartment. Her employees always deliver her reports about the man's arrival. And she could see Declan's luxury black car in front of her apartment when she heard the bell sound of her house.

But never once was she moved to reach the man.

Now… for some reason… the pain in her heart, jealousy, and disappointment she had during the past two days miraculously vanished when she saw the handsome man's face.

The man had a charisma that no words could describe when he put his attention solely focused on his work. The man's position was facing nine o'clock so that only the left side of the body was visible in her eyes.

The shape of the man's chiseled jaw was like a sculpture of a Greek god, and the form of his arm muscles, which was visible even though it was covered with black shirt sleeves, made Kaylee gulped tensely.

The man's left hand, which rubbed his chin as if he was thinking about something, added to the effect of his good looks, making Kaylee unable to take her eyes off.

Shouldn't she still be mad at her fiancé? But why is she now worshiping his good-looking instead?

"What are you doing standing there?" inquired Declan without taking his eyes off his laptop as if his current job was more important than glancing at Nicholas.

Kaylee knew that her appearance was as Nick, and that man would never know that she was Kaylee. But realizing that the man wasn't even glancing at her somehow made her feel sad.

She wondered if it was Kaylee who had come now, would that man still be working?

Kaylee would never know the answer and decided to forget about it. She walked straight until she came to the long table near Declan's work desk.

She decided to sit in the corner but not too far as she almost hit the end of the room on her right side.

As usual, she took out her laptop, music book, and writing tools and arranged them neatly on the table. While waiting for Declan to finish his job, Kaylee decided to compose various ornaments to the song Declan had assigned.

Not long after, Kaylee felt a vibration from her backpack. She opened her bag to find her vibrating phone, indicating someone called her.

Kaylee glanced at her phone screen, and suddenly, her face turned pale when she saw Declan's name written on it. Her eyes briefly turned to Declan, who still seemed to focus on his laptop, but she noticed a Bluetooth headset in his ear!

The man is calling her. There's no mistaking it!

Kaylee instantly rejected the call, turned off her phone, and then stored it back in extremely slow motion. She hoped that Declan wouldn't notice her strange movements as she tried to compose herself.

That man couldn't possibly have known her disguise, could he? How could that man contact her when she disguised as Nick and was in the man's office?

Without looking up, the corners of Kaylee's eyes moved to the side to see the man's reaction. Declan's forehead frowned, and Kaylee suspected that the man had tried to call her again only to get a notification that her phone was no longer active.

Declan disliked her turning off her cell phone, but she was forced to do so.

But.. why should she feel guilty?

The man cheated on her, and Kaylee didn't pick up her phone on purpose for these two days. She didn't have to feel guilty, and now Kaylee was starting to feel calm.

Even though from the outside Kaylee seemed to be acting as usual, but her heart was pounding with panic.

How could she not? After Declan gave up reaching out to her, he got up and sat next to her.

Next to her!?!?

What was that man sitting next to her for? Hadn't that man been sitting across from her all this time?

"Have you completed the task I gave you last week?"

"Yes, sir." Kaylee immediately gave the results of her assignment to Declan.

The man received her assignment book, and whether the man realized it or not, his fingers touched Kaylee's fingers as if giving a light caress made Kaylee gasped in surprise.

Declan stared at her with a raised eyebrow making Kaylee even more panicked.

Very weird. Why did it feel like she had been electrocuted when Declan's finger touched her hand? Hasn't she been holding hands with that man so many times, even kissing?

But why could she still feel the electric shocks?

"Is there something on my face, mister Larson?"

Kaylee blinked several times while shaking her head and replied, "No, sir."

Declan gave no reaction and returned to scrutinize Kaylee's assignment. While the man focused on her work, Kaylee took this opportunity to shift her ass a little.

The girl in disguise tried as far as possible to distance herself from Declan without being obvious. Her heart hammered hard, and her gaze fixed downwards so that she didn't know Declan had a chance to glance at her, and a knowing smirk was plastered on his handsome face.

***

Two days ago, Declan contacted the student administration to find out about someone.

"Good afternoon. I'm Declan Black and need help finding information from one of the students… His name is Nicholas Larson… Yes, thank you."

In the afternoon, Declan received a notification on his laptop indicating an email had arrived. He read it and saw Nicholas Larson's contact number.

He felt very familiar with the row of numbers and insert it into his smartphone.

For a moment, Declan fell silent… too fixated into place that he felt the world stop spinning.

His smart brain was quick to catch up and his lips curled in knowing smirk.

"What a naughty girl.." was his last comment.
