Fancy Me, Professor!

Chapter 44 - Past, Present, And Future Tenses

The café in such honeyed hues brings sweetness to the day, coaxing an inner smile that warms from within.

Except for two people, however, who were seated near the window that overlooked the city streets.

Wang Lei, a corporate CEO of the W&S Co., decided to have coffee with Professor Pan An in a nearby café found in the neighborhood of the university.

The expressions on their faces were not exactly happy at all! Pan An is still in the aftermath of his hangover, and Wang Lei still seemed to be bothered by his strong secretary who grabbed his necktie and told him that no one can melt her icy heart!

Remembering the gesture as if it happened just now when it was only a moment ago, Wang Lei blankly reached out to his necktie, remembering how Yu Yan grabbed it, their faces inches away from kissing already.

With that in mind, he felt like he was choking, losing his breath. Wang Lei then grunted and frustratingly took his necktie off, slightly surprising Pan An with his sudden action.

"What's wrong? Papers piling up your desk?"

"No," Wang Lei replied, shaking his head at the same time as his eyes hadn't left his coffee. "It's a woman."

Hearing this, Pan An couldn't help but scoff. He rolled his eyes at the same time as a light chuckle came from him afterward, taking another sip of his coffee as if it was a life saver that is giving him remedy for his hangover.

"Another woman bothering you? What did you do this time?"

"No! It's—"

Wang Lei sighed once more, Pan An, laughing now while the other women looked at them.

Seeing two handsome men together like this is not a rare sight to behold, but then again, the women's eyes still couldn't leave them, Pan An and Wang Lei actually more handsome than those common handsome men that they're seeing from time to time.

It made them think if these two are models, or working in a company that is very well known!

Shaking his head, Wang Lei looked at his necktie, still remembering his secretary's tantalizing eyes that sent shivers down his spine along with the words she said that he remembered clear as day.

"No one was, is, or will be… brave enough to melt my icy heart."

'What could she ever mean?' Wang Lei thought, his eyes still not leaving the necktie on the table. 'Has no one really succeeded in getting her heart?'

With what she said, it was in the past, present, and future tenses.

No one was brave enough to melt her icy heart. Past tense.

No one is brave enough to melt her icy heart. Present tense.

No one will be brave enough to melt her icy heart. Future tense.

Wang Lei had to admit, Yu Yan's line is actually witty and amazingly, it has caught his attention as it made him more curious about his secretary who worked with him for more than three years!

No one was brave enough to melt her icy heart. Does that mean that in the past, no one has attempted to win her heart?

No one is brave enough to melt her icy heart. Does that mean that even now, no one wants to attempt to win her heart?

No one will be brave enough to melt her icy heart. Now this, in future tense, had really caught Wang Lei's interest, making him think as if it was a challenge posed at him!

Is Yu Yan telling him that no one will ever win her icy heart?

"Ha!"

Wang Lei suddenly exclaimed, slightly surprising Pan An in front of him, widening his eyes slightly as well.

"I'd like to see her get her words back!"

Hearing this, Pan An put another cube of sugar in his coffee and mixed it with his teaspoon, his eyebrows furrowing as he thought that his best friend may be going insane with whoever this girl is bothering him.

Whoever she is, Pan An found it amazing that it has caught his attention into thinking about her until now when Wang Lei usually throws them aside after he had lost interest after they fucked maybe once, or twice.

"What is it this time?"

Pan An couldn't help but ask, taking a sip of his coffee before putting the cup down.

"Is this girl bothering you and threatening you? Which affluent family?"

"No, nothing of the kind," Wang Lei immediately answered, "It's my secretary."

"Oh?"

Now this is something interesting. Wang Lei usually involves himself with the young miss of any corporate companies. With him hearing that this time it is his secretary, Pan An didn't expect this at all, with the simple fact that Yu Yan has been working with him for more than three years.

"What about your secretary Yu Yan? Did she say something that offended you? From your words 'get her words back', something she said might have irked you some way," he commented, Wang Lei, not answering for a while.

Seeing his necktie on the table, Pan An arched a brow at it, too, looking at it.

"And your necktie? Don't tell me something has happened between you two in your office and you didn't like her touching your clothes and—"

"No! That's not it," Wang Lei interrupted, narrowing his eyes at him at the same time. "Us? In the office? Is that really how you think of me?"

Pan An smirked, shrugging at the same time as he honestly answered his question.

"We're best friends because I'm honest and I see past your bullshit so, yes. I see you that way."

Wang Lei let out a chuckle, now taking his cup of coffee and took a small sip.

"Whatever," he commented, Pan An, now looking at his watch and saw that there are 15 minutes left before classes would start after lunch.

"We could talk later in the evening around dinner if you want," Pan An suggested, Wang Lei, nodding to answer.

"Sure. Thanks."

With that, both of them already stood up from their seats after Pan An and Wang Lei left their pay on the table, having no intention to wait for their change.

The women watched them leave, stifling their swoons even though they only looked at their backs, Pan An and Wang Lei's sex appeal already changing the standards of these women.
