Chapter 526 - Over My Dead Body (1/2)

The next morning, Cali and Rui got up to start their usual routine and prepared to go to school.

Cali wondered what was installed for them that day. They would surely meet Candice every day in the college since it was one of the major subjects in the culinary arts.

”Cali, let's go inside together today. I don't think it's still required for you to leave first.” Rui said when Cali was about to go out of the car.

”Okay,” Cali readily agreed. Rui was right because almost everyone in their class already knew about their set-up as a family friend and their patient-doctor relationship as well.

They encountered Candice in the second lecture of the day. She commended Candice in her heart and praised her as one of the best professors she ever had as she did not even yawn once throughout the lecture and easily grasped everything she taught.

She had a lively class where she let every student actively participate in telling their inputs and perspectives.

”So you see, herbs are really important, but then again there are plants that can also bring discomfort and cause allergies to some customers. It's highly important that you familiarize yourself with them.” Candice explained with a wink.

Cali's face crumpled because Candice's eyes were directed towards Rui when she winked.

'What the heck? Is she flirting with my doctor in the open like that? Seriously? That shameless woman!' she silently snarled.

Though she was enjoying Candice's class, Cali still relaxed and sighed with relief as soon as her class ended because she could no longer witness the woman's shameless flirting with her Doc, but to her horror… When she and Rui were about to get out of the room.

The shameless woman suddenly chimed, ”Mr. Dee, stay… I have something to discuss with you.”

Cali and Rui's eyes met. Rui looked like someone who was trapped and asking for help with those begging eyes.

”I'll go first…” Cali whispered and she went out.

Rui silently watched her leave the room.

”Don't you dare follow her? Let her realize what her heart truly feels.” Rui heard Candice order him as she comfortably sat on her chair and opened a lollipop.

Rui's face cringed as he mumbled, ”Stop eating so many sweets. You should watch out your sugar intake.”

Candice chuckled and said, ”Are you somehow worried about me now?”

Rui shook his head and got up to walk out, but Candice stopped him and said, ”Don't go yet and sit in front of me. Wait for five minutes more, you impatient lover-boy…”

Rui dropped his shoulders and complained, ”Can't you just call me by my name? Why are you giving me another nickname?”

”Shhh…” Candice mumbled as she stood up and approached Rui with a wicked grin on her beautiful face.

”What are you doing?” Rui asked as he started to get uncomfortable. Candice was too close, and she even leaned closer.

”Relax lover boy, and let's stay like this for ten seconds. Ten... nine... eight... seven…” Candice whispered in his ear as she started the countdown as if waiting for something to happen.

”Two… One…”

”Rui!” Cali's voice resounded in the empty classroom calling out for him. She stood at the open door of the room with her bloodthirsty gaze that made Rui jump on his feet.
