12:25the only person worrying whether i was cold was lucian before i could think twice i shoved the lounge
12:29door open keep going the laughter died instantly every face turned white noah shot to his feet ashley
12:36i grabbed the whiskey glass off the table and threw it directly in his face the entire room froze
12:42whiskey dripped from noah's jaw slowly his expression cracked i smiled coldly congratulations
12:49noah you won the bet i stepped back too bad then i looked past him straight toward the
12:56hallway behind me because i have a new boyfriend now absolute silence lucian blackthernt stood in the
13:04doorway noah looked completely stunned and before anyone could speak again i walked to lucian grabbed
13:10his hand and left with him the second we entered lucian's office i let go of his hand thanks for
13:17helping me back there i forced out a breath but you know i didn't mean it right lucian loosened
13:23his tie slowly then smiled a fake boyfriend is still better than being hated by you my heartbeat
13:29stumbled noah is a child he never deserved you next time you need someone his voice dropped lower

14:17lucian heemed back in his chair calmly other students his eyes met mine no you can handle it
14:27i lowered my head quickly and flipped through the files pretending to focus lucian watched me for a
14:32moment then said quietly you're avoiding me i'm not really he stood up then walked toward me
14:40i could feel the warmth of his body behind me lucian leaned down beside my chair one hand braced
14:45against the desk his finger pointed lightly at a line in the report near my shoulder here your
14:50analysis is wrong every muscle in my body locked instantly can you back up a little you should stop
14:56looking at me like that i swallowed hard like what his gray blue eyes locked onto mine like you're
15:02about to make a bad decision suddenly i was thinking about that kiss again the way he lost control for
15:07five straight minutes lucian's gaze dropped briefly to my lips and for one second i thought he was
15:13going to kiss me then lucian noah stood there breathing hard furious and the first thing he saw
15:20was lucian leaning over me with one arm around my chair like he was holding me what the hell are

15:32hours jealousy practically dripped from every word lucian leaning peed slowly knock before entering noah
15:38clenched his fists lucian didn't even look at him again instead he closed the file in front of me
15:43gently class dismissed ashley then he added black throne capitals doors are open to you i froze i had

18:49i have recordings i can take all of this to court ashley you need to understand how this looks for
18:56the
18:56reputation of the university until the investigation concludes your scholarship and competition placement

20:39ashley carter has over six months of documented research history now let's compare that to charlotte
20:45sinclair's submission
