Love After One-Night Stand With CEO Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Why Did You Run?

Time ticked by slowly.

At the library, Rosa had no mood to read the books at all.

She seemed to be very uneasy.

She stared at phone from time to time. 30 minutes had already passed.

That man should’ve arrived by now!

She took a deep breath.

“Rosa, don’t be nervous.” She reassured herself.

There were a lot of third-year students. No one would notice if she had disappeared, right?

Yes, that must be the case!

Thinking of this, she picked up a book and started reading it at the table.

Inside the auditorium…

Henry’s arrival made the crowd go wild.

Hearts could be seen in all of the girls’ eyes from the crowd.

This man was not only rich, but also good-looking.

One look was enough to make one’s heart go wild.

One could almost get pregnant just by hearing his voice.

As for the boys, they all had a different goal in mind.

Some of them had business relations with him.

Their parents warned them to be respectful to this man.

And the others would want to see how he expanded his enterprise.

Perhaps they could learn one thing or two from his experience.

“Ahh.. how handsome…”

“Wow, daddy, I finally understand what the term ‘daddy’ means. Gosh, my heart!”

“Mr. Lewis, I love you…”

The auditorium was filled with the sound of girls squealing.

The bright lights on the stage emphasised his sharp features, making him look unreadable and intimidating.

Neil, who was sitting at the side, was shocked. This man was really a chick magnet!

The front row was filled with teachers.

The male teachers looked at him in admiration while the females stared at him with stars in their eyes.

The whole auditorium was like a concert.

Henry didn’t say anything and just stood there gracefully as he scanned the crowd.

In an instant, he noticed something important.

The girl was not here!

He smirked devilishly.

From his data, no matter what event the school held…

As a good student, she had never been absent to any of them!

And yet, at this time she dared to skip class!

Was she unwilling to see him that much?

The audience was captivated by the presence of the god-like man on stage.

“Hello, everyone. I’m so glad to be here today…” Henry said confidently and smiled politely at the audience.

Suddenly, almost everyone stopped breathing.

Ahhh, his voice was too charming!

“Apologies, but I still need to settle some matters. Mr. White will give a speech first. I’ll be back right after!”

Neil, who was sitting at the side, was stunned.

Heck, what was he doing?

“Mr. White, Mr. White!” The crowd started cheering.

Neil had quite the reputation. He changed girlfriends as frequent as he changed his clothes.

Then again, he was rich, so what could you do?

“Hey, Henry, what are you doing?” Neil grabbed Henry’s arm and frowned.

“I have some matters to deal with!” The man smiled slightly. “I’ll leave it to you. I’ll treat you to dinner some other day!”

He left right after he finished his words.

Neil’s lips twitched slightly. Then, he walked to the centre of the stage and said, “Hehe, he… he’s taking a call and will be back soon. Alright, let me tell you guys some rumours about him!”

“Okay!”

Leaving the auditorium, the man headed straight to her class.

“Hey, have you heard that ‘Campus Belle’ is in the library?” He heard two freshmen who were talking about her on his way to her class.

“Really? Is it the girl in the rumour who looks like everyone’s first love?”

“Yeah, I heard about when before I came to this school. She’s so beautiful, most importantly her looks are so pure and innocent.”

“Then let’s go have a look.” The two boys quickly ran over.

The man pursed his thin lips into a straight line. ‘Campus Belle’?

The next second, he turned around and walked towards the library.

It was very quiet in the library.

College life was very relaxing.

Some people didn’t want to attend classes, so they liked to stay here.

Rosa sat near the window.

Her lovely black hair fell over her shoulders, perfectly framing her face, giving off a sense of peace and quiet.

At this moment, her eyes were shimmering, full of concentration.

A cool breeze brushed her face, ruffling her hair.

She looked like she came out of a painting.

There were quite a few freshmen and sophomores here.

Everyone’s gaze were attracted to this beautiful scene.

Even the female students couldn’t help but looked at her.

“Ahhh, oh my god, the legendary Mr. Lewis is coming this way!” Someone shouted. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“What? Really? Isn’t he giving a speech for the third-year students?” No one believed it.

“Really, I’m not lying to you. He’s on his way upstairs!” The person said excitedly.

With a ‘swoosh’, Rosa immediately closed her book.

A surge of panic rushed through her veins in an instant.

She had no time to think, not even a second to put down her book.

She immediately ran towards the back door.

She knew that he came here with no good intention.

He was in the middle of a talk.

And now he’s suddenly at the library.

Even if she was a fool, she could guess the reason why he’s here.

“Mr. Lewis… Mr. Lewis…” The girls began to stammer.

They were all gawking at him with hearts in their eyes.

Henry smiled gracefully and looked at them, asking politely, “Excuse me, have any of you seen Rosa Lopez?”

“Yes, she’s over there.” The girls pointed to the window at the same time.

However, there was only a book on the table.

No one was there!

“Huh, she was still here just now. How did she suddenly disappear?” The girls were confused.

Seeing this, his sneer deepened as well as his glare. She wanted to escape?

“Is there any other exit in the library?”

“Over there!” Several female students immediately pointed at the other exit.

The man smirked slightly and strode over.

“What’s going on?” Rosa kept trying to pull the handle of the back door.

Why would anyone chain this door?

One of her hand was fumbling with the chains as she kept turning around.

“Hurry up, hurry up!”

She was panicking.

The chain became more and more tangled.

With a “Clang”, the iron chain finally fell apart.

Rosa immediately opened the door and rushed out.

“Rosa!” He shouted and suddenly appeared behind her.

“Ah—” Rosa was startled by the voice and fell down.

The man quickly walked over and helped Rosa up from the ground.

Rosa frowned and she winced in pain.

“How is it?” The man caressed her foot.

“It hurts…” Rosa’s mouth trembled and she kept crying out in pain.

He narrowed his eyes, his face was dark and gloomy. “Why did you run?”

Rosa bit her lip, and her eyes were teary from the pain.

Seeing this, the man could not bear to blame her.

“I’ll take you to the infirmary.”

“No… I… I can go by myself.” Rosa subconsciously wanted to refuse.

The man’s face immediately darkened.

“How are you going to walk like this?”

“I… I can…” Rosa gritted her teeth as she grabbed the handrail, trying to get up slowly.

In an instant, beads of sweat started forming on her forehead.

It hurt so much…

Immediately, Henry’s face turned gloomy. His entire body emanated a cold aura that made others shudder. He stared at her with dark eyes.

“Ha… See, I… I can do it…”

She smiled and said proudly.

Henry immediately picked her up.

“Ah… “

His arms were very strong. Rosa was already weak, so she didn’t have the strength to resist him. He easily lifted her up.

Just like that, the man casually carried her across the campus.

Rosa awkwardly kept her head low the entire time, not knowing what to do.

Everyone stared at them like they were an exhibition.

It wasn’t a good feeling.

“Look! That’s Mr. Lewis. Why is he carrying “Campus Belle”?

“Oh my god, do you think she has some sort of relationship with Mr. Lewis?”

“Ha, how is that possible? Mr. Lewis’s girlfriend is the famous daughter Baker Enterprise’s owner!”

The onlookers began to gossip.

After a while…

“Fortunately, it’s not fractured and there isn’t any swelling, but I’d say that it’s better to rest for a few days. It could still be a serious injury. It’s never wrong to take more precautions.” Although the female doctor was talking to Rosa, her gaze was fixated on Henry.

“Thank you, doctor.” Rosa thanked her shyly.

“No problem. Mr. Lewis is your…”

“Uncle!” Rosa blurted out.

The female doctor was stunned. “Uncle? Didn’t you come from a poor family?”

“Well, Miranda and I are best friends, so… so…”

“So you also call him your uncle?” The female doctor felt proud of herself for connecting the dots.

Rosa’s lips twitched, and she stopped explaining.

Henry chuckled. He wrapped his arm around her and lifted her up.

“Yes, I am her ‘closest’ uncle!” His words were hidden with meaning.

“Oh, I see.” The female doctor was immediately relieved. “That’s right, how could Rosa have anything to do with him?” she thought.

“Rosa, how are you feeling?” Someone’s anxious voice could be heard before reaching the door.

Rosa was stunned and then looked toward the direction of the voice.

Andy ran over in a hurry.

“Your classmate said that you fell down from the stairs. What hap… Uncle? Why are you here?” Andy was stunned when he saw Henry carrying Rosa.

“Ha, can’t believe Mr. Wright cares so much about his fellow ‘student’!” The man said meaningfully.

As Andy ran over, he was surrounded by a crowd that was watching and gossiping.

Rosa suddenly became a little nervous.

Andy also quickly replied, “I… I just heard that Miss Lopez was injured, so…” As he said this, he looked at Rosa and felt a little distressed. “Well, uncle, let me handle it. I’ll send her home first!”

“Why? Can a teacher skip class during working hours?”

His gaze was cold and piercing. His aura was gloomy, causing the atmosphere to be tense.

Andy was stunned by his words.
