62 Chapter 62: Caleb
“Caleb, I just want to look at the student profiles, not doing anything illegal or unruly. Can’t you just make an exception?” Xaviera Evans cracked her knuckles.
“Mrs. Mamet, you need to understand that aside from school directors having access to these profiles at Libanan University, no one else is allowed. Of course, if you have the patience, you can submit an
application as a teacher. Once the school directors
vote and the majority agrees, you’ll be able to see what you want to see.”
Xaviera: “..
What’s even more infuriating is that Caleb took out his phone: “Do you want to submit an application? I can send you the application form. By the way, I remember there was another teacher who wanted to check the profiles, but his application was denied by the board.”
Xaviera, with her blood boiling, said: “You’re talking nonsense! Not long ago, Steve Price saw the Libanan University profiles. Why can he do it, but I can’t?”
What strict access rights of Libanan University? He’s

just messing with her by not letting her see it!
Caleb chuckled: “Steve Price is my assistant. What’s wrong with him helping me check the Libanan University profiles?”
Xaviera choked with anger: “Well, you’re still my husband.”
As she said those words, her voice got weaker, and when she finally finished, silence filled the car. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
After a while, Caleb laughed lightly, his gaze indifferent and teasing: “So you still know I’m your husband?”
Xaviera hesitated for a moment, not waiting for her to speak, Caleb continued leisurely: “You always call me Caleb. If I didn’t know better, I would think I’m your enemy.”
Xaviera: “…”
Hasn’t she always called him Caleb? Did he think that calling him by his full name was too disrespectful? Should she call him Mr. Caleb Mamet or Mr. Caled like others do?
Xaviera had an inexplicable premonition in her heart.

If she dared to call Caleb Mr. Caleb Mamet or Mr.
Caled, he would be even angrier and maybe even throw her out of the car.
“What else could I call you besides Caleb? I’m not your employee or underling, so there’s no need to flatter you, right?” After saying that, Xaviera tapped her knee, suddenly thinking of how some women addressed. Caleb…
“Caleb–gege? Caleb?”
Xaviera strained her voice and acted out, and after shouting, she couldn’t help but shiver, while Caleb’s body stiffened.
The atmosphere in the car grew strange, and finally, Xaviera cleared her throat, trying to break the awkward silence, but before she could speak, Caleb said in a husky voice: “Call me that again.”
Xaviera: “??”
She
was stunned for a moment, clearly not reacting, and as Caleb looked at her, she subconsciously said: “… Caleb–gege?”
“Drop the last name.”

Xaviera finally came back to her senses and tried again: “Caleb?” ↑
“Mm–hmm.” Caleb suddenly felt an itch in his throat.
Xaviera was shocked. She didn’t expect Caleb to like such a cheesy and flirtatious name! She swallowed: “Caleb, I want to see the Libanan University profiles, is that alright?”
Caleb’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he pulled at his tie, turning his eyes away: “I’ll arrange it for you tomorrow.”
Xaviera stared at Caleb’s slightly pink earlobe as if she had discovered a new world. So he really likes this kind of thing? And he’s even shy?
“Caleb…” After a pause, Xaviera went all in and said her next line: “Can I give you a kiss?”
Recently, Caleb had been giving her the cold shoulder, and she hadn’t tasted food for a long time. Her mouth was always bitter, but now that she had discovered Caleb’s weakness, she wanted to take advantage of it. Caleb’s heart tingled as he heard her, his voice

becoming slightly hoarse: “Alright.”
Xaviera: “!”
He actually agreed?! Just like that?!
If she had known that calling him “Caleb” had such power, she would have called him that much earlier!
Xaviera quickly kissed him on the corner of his lips, then took out a mint from her bag. The cool and sweet taste spread in her mouth, and she squinted, lounging in the passenger seat and licking her lips contentedly.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the villa. Just as Xaviera was about to open the car door, she suddenly heard a crisp and sweet voice from a woman outside the villa gates.
“Caleb, I’m here with auntie to see you!”
Xaviera: “.”
No wonder Caleb liked being called “Caleb“. He was used to it! Any woman could call him Caleb! Thinking of that, she glanced at Caleb, who seemed lost in thought in the driver’s seat, and snorted coldly before getting out of the car.
