Take Me Away

Chapter 41 A Provocation Letter (Part One)

The next morning, the sound of loud horns was heard in the D University to signal the start of the

freshmen military training.

When Fiona arrived, Spencer was already standing at the training ground with his hands on his back.

The sight of him made her heart beat faster. She ran up to him with her cheeks flushing.

'Can we really pretend that nothing happened after that night?' she thought. Her face turned pale at the

thought.

"Good morning, everyone!"

"Good morning, Mr. Cheng!"

Spencer nodded sternly. He stood in front of Fiona as he addressed the girls, "By now, we are halfway

through with the training. Today, we will practice walking and running. First, we should make a gesture

of solemnity. All of you! Attention!"

Everyone perked up at the command. After two weeks of training, the girls' postures had improved a

lot.

"You should kick your left foot outwards but your leg must be kept straight..." The girls followed as

Spencer gave out instructions. He glared at them and frowned.

"Follow exactly what I'm doing."

He stepped forward, his arms rubbing against his trousers, and made a crisp sound.

"Wow!"

"He's so handsome!"

The girls whispered to each other as they watched Spencer with admiration.

Spencer looked at them. "Did you see that? Now, do it like I did. All of you, attention!"

Their feet brushed against the ground.

Everyone walked forward. Spencer nodded with satisfaction. "Yes, you've improved a lot. Keep still and

don't move. I have to correct your positions."

He then walked up to the students at the first row and started to point out their mistakes one by one.

When he walked to Fiona, they stared at each other for a split second before she looked away and

tilted her head.

"Look straight ahead!" Spencer grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.

Fiona's face turned red. She had no choice but to stare at him.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and flashed a sly smile. Then, he put his hand on her waist and

gently tilted her body. "Take care of your body too," he whispered.

Fiona's body stiffened.

It was exactly how he wanted her to react.

"Also, fix your hand. Your thumb is on the second section of your index finger." He grabbed her hand

and started to move her finger.

Fiona's head was buzzing. It was hard to tell whether it was because of shyness or anger. She could

feel herself about to collapse. Thankfully, Spencer left her side as he shifted his attention to the girl on

the left.

"Phew!" Fiona breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, Spencer returned to Fiona. None of those girls deserved his efforts.

It had been raining all weekend and so there was still a light breeze in the air, but the sun was

scorching hot.

Fiona felt ill. Memories from the night they shared haunted her mind. She felt sick. As she stood still,

sweat slowly formed across her forehead.

Spencer stared at Fiona, unaware of what running through her mind. When he noticed Fiona's body

stagger, he said in a loud voice, "Rest!" Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

With that, Fiona allowed her body to collapse to the ground.

"Ah, I'm so tired!"

"That was much more tiring than just standing in attention!"

The girls chattered and complained among themselves. Only Sophia seemed calm and relaxed. She

went up to Fiona, held her hand, and asked her to go out with her that night.

"Where are we going?"

"To the bar!" Sophia looked excited.

"I've never been to a bar! I don't think that's a good place to be in."

"Why not? We're just going to have fun. It's not a big deal!" Sophia persisted.

Suddenly, Fiona's phone buzzed.

She glanced at the screen and saw that Spencer had messaged her. "Don't go," the message read.

She raised her head and saw that, under the tent two meters away, Spencer was looking at her intently.

He was shaking his phone in his hand as if telling her to check it.

"I'm sorry. I can't join you today." Fiona looked at Sophia apologetically.

"Don't worry, I won't ask Ryan to join us!" Sophia started shaking Fiona's arm. "I heard that there's bar

called Le Bar in M City. It's safe for women. We girls can go there! I just think you deserve a night of fun

and relaxation since you've been in such a bad mood lately!"

"I..." Fiona stammered.

Then, her phone buzzed again. It was Spencer again. "Go back to Four Seasons Scenery tonight," he

texted.

Fiona pursed her lips and put her phone away. "I have something to do at home tonight. I have to go

back."

"What?" Sophia howled bitterly. "What about tomorrow?"

Once more, Fiona's phone buzzed. "Don't even think about it," Spencer's text warned.

"What's wrong with your phone?" Before Fiona opened her mouth, Sophia raised her voice. "How are

you getting a message every time I speak? What the hell?"

"It's a coincidence!" Fiona flashed a quick glare at Spencer. Then, she turned to look at Sophia. "I don't

think a bar is a safe place for us to go to."

"Why not? We'll have so much fun!" "If we're in a bar, men will invite us to drink," Ella chimed in. "Count

me in, Sophia. I want to go with you."

"Okay, no problem. Leona, are you coming with me?" asked Sophia.

"What? I..." Leona stuttered I won't go with you."

Ella rolled her eyes. "Fiona won't go, and now Leona won't either."

Leona pressed her lips and did not speak.

Spencer stood up from the lounge chair and walked slowly towards the team. "All right! Everyone!

Stand up! Stop making noise!"

The group of girls reluctantly stood up.

"We'll talk about going to the bar after the training," Sophia said and ran back to her place.

Looking at Fiona, Spencer nodded slightly, turned his head away and shouted, "Attention! Let's start

training!"

After a few hours, it was almost time for lunch. Eric ran over to Spencer cheerfully. "Spencer!"

"What is it?" Spencer turned around and asked.

"I received a letter of provocation from D University Basketball Association," Eric stated.

"A letter?

What is it about?"

The girls who were supposed to be standing at attention

started whispering with curiosity.

"For what?" Spencer asked and raised his eyebrows.

Eric chuckled. "They said that they will organize a basketball game this afternoon to compete with the

drillmasters. Spencer, it's your call whether to accept it or not."

"Of course you will fight!"

"Exactly! We want to watch the basketball match, Mr. Cheng!"

"I'm going to cheer you up!"

"There is a competition between the Basketball Association and the drillmasters. It's really exciting!"

The girls chattered excitedly among themselves.

"Stop making excused. You just want to skip military training," Spencer fumed. The crowd burst into

laughter.
