Chapter 3. Meeting the Devil

Sophie's POV

As soon as the bell rang for the dismissal, I immediately took my backpack and was about to leave the classroom when my professor suddenly called me, "Miss Laurens."

"M-Miss?"

"Can you tell Mr. Jacobs to meet me at my office?" she said, fixing her eyeglasses. She's a beautiful woman in her 20s, our professor in literature, my favorite subject. I quickly nodded as I clutched my books to my chest.

"Yes, Miss."

"Thank you."

Mr. Jacobs was our school doctor here in our University. He's handsome with his blonde hair slicked back, his deep emerald eyes that could melt someone who dares to stare at him. He also has the body of a Greek God which makes all of the girls here drool over him. And if you ask me if I like him, is it so obvious?

I first met him during my first day here in this University. He approached me because I got lost and didn't know where my building was. Then he told me where and even accompanied me until I finally found it. I thought he was my classmate too because he looks too young. That's why I was surprised when I found out that he works as the official University doctor here.

My heart started beating so loud when I saw Mr. Jacobs sitting on his usual swivel chair writing something on paper. He was wearing an eyeglass that he used to wear which made him look intelligent and attractive to me. How can he sit there, just write and look incredibly handsome? I wonder if he already has a girlfriend, I wish he's single.

"Err... Doctor Kristan..."

He stopped writing and looked in my direction, a smile immediately appeared on his face as soon as he saw me. "Sophie!"

"G-Good morning, Doctor Kristan." I smiled sweetly, a smile that I will never show to anyone but him.

He stood up and walked towards me, his smile didn't vanish. "How are you feeling? Is there something I can help you with?"

Oh God, there goes the most handsome man I have ever seen in my life. Can I just tell him that I'm not feeling well because my heart seems like it's about to jump off my chest right now?

"N-No, doctor. Miss Perry wants to see you at her office."

"Oh, well thank you for going here. I will go there immediately."

"Thank you, Mr. Jacobs. I will be going now." I said, averting my gaze from his.

He then patted my head and smiled, "Thanks, Sophie."

I was touched by an angel! What an honor!

"You're welcome Mr. Jacobs... hehehe... s-see you tomorrow..."

"See you, Sophie."

Then I finally started walking towards the door, still waving at him. I could just literally sit there and watch him breathe for all my life. Did that sound creepy?

I heaved a deep sigh when I closed the door, a smile still on my face. Oh, Mr. Jacobs, can you just be mine?

If only I could have him, but that's impossible. I'm just a student, I don't have anything to boast about except for my grades. But I promised to myself that one day, when I finally have my own job and I finally have enough money, I will go back here and confess to him. I hope I have a chance.

"Teacher Sophiee!!!" Laila, one of my students came running to me as soon as she saw me enter the kindergarten. She's always excited to see me, that's why I'm always excited to go here and see her too, I really love kids.

"Laila!!!"

Just when she was about to run towards me, a man suddenly walked past her, and so she fell onto the ground after bumping on the man's legs.

"Leila!" I quickly ran towards Leila to see if she was okay, "Leila, I'm so sorry, are you alright?"

"Teacher... S-Sophiee.... waaaaa...." She then began crying.

"Ssssh... stop crying Leila, it's alright. Don't cry now, I will buy you an ice cream, okay?" I guided her to a nearby bench and had her sit there as I glanced at the man to whom she bumped.

He was just casually walking with his hands in his pocket as if nothing happened. What a rude man he is, not even apologizing to a kid?! Is he even a human?!

With my blood boiling and my fist shaking with anger, I walked towards that man and grabbed him by his arm to stop him from walking, "H-Hey, Mister!"

He stopped walking when he heard my voice, he looked at my hand that was holding his arm and finally faced me. My eyes automatically widened as soon as I saw his face and realized how tall he was that he's already towering over me. His cold gray eyes stared intently at me, I can't even see any emotion on his face, i-is he a robot?

"What do you want from me?" he asked, then I realized that I was still holding his arm and so I immediately let go of it and stared back at him as I gulped.

What is happening to me? Why does his aura feel intimidating? He's definitely not ugly because HE IS SO HANDSOME as hell but I don't know why he looks fearful even though I don't really know him yet.

"L-Leila... the kid who bumped on to you a while ago..."

"What about her?" his brows are now furrowed as if he's turning impatient.

"Why didn't you stop and ask her if she's okay? She's a kid, you should've at least said sorry."

He looked at me as if I was crazy then a smirk appeared on his face, "Hey woman, do you even know who you're talking to right now?"
