Facade

“I just happened in pass by this area. Since you haven’t gone to the academy, I might as well stick around and wait for you for a bit. That way, we can go together.” 

Christopher smiled bashfully at Hera before greeting Bernard politely. “Good moming, Professor Killian. How’s your 

“You must’ve covered an additional distance of over 30 miles just by traveling from the Ludden residence to here before going to Cavenridge International Academy, right? Bernard interjected. 

His deep and husky voice sounded extraordinarily chilly. Just like that, he exposed Christopher’s be without intending to spare the latter’s pride. 

Naturally, Christopher was no match for Bernard when it came to courting girls. 

Both Hera and Christopher fell silent after heating Bernard’s words. Christopher looked somewhat embarrassed now that his actual intention was revealed. 

However, Christopher dared not offend Bernard. After all, Bernard was the seventh son of the esteemed Killian family. He was an individual to whom Andrew and Aaron had to show respect. 

Besides, Christopher wasn’t sure what the true nature of Hera and Bernard’s relationship was. 

“Since you’re bent on playing the role as our driver, then what are you standing around for? Bernard asked icily. 

He scanned Christopher up and down with his sharp gaze, as though he was looking for a gift given to him by a certain someone. 

Christopher was baffled, to say the least. 

Hold on, he didn’t a 

agree to become Bernard and Hera’s personal driver!

Meanwhile, Hera shot Bernard a surprised look. Then, she looked down at her phone, which showed her e–hailing app. It was the morning rush hour, so none of the drivers had accepted her order. She then canceled her request. 

“Thanks,” Hera said to Christopher. 

Left without a choice, Christopher could only open the back seal door. Then, he and Hera worked together to help Bernard into the back seat. The wheelchair was quickly folded up before being placed into the trunk. 

On the way to Cavenridge International Academy, the atmosphere in the car was eerily silent. The pair sitting in the back seat were scrolling through their phones quietly. 

As for Christopher, he could only drive dutifully. He felt like crying on the inside. 

To think that Hera and Bernard truly treated him like their personal driver! NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

20 minutes later, Christopher stopped outside the classroom block where the junior year students primarily studied. 

After Hera got out of the car and closed the door behind her, Christopher asked, “Professor Killian, where is your destination?” 

Bernard continued looking at his phone screen without glancing at Christopher. “Skyview Heights,” he replied coolly. 

At that moment, Christopher felt like the biggest clown in the world. 

Was Bernard toying around with him? 

Besides, the first lesson was about to start soon. If he were to drive Bernard home, he’d definitely be late. 

“Professor, we’ve already reached the academy. Isn’t there something you want to do here?” Christopher asked in a roundabout way. 

“I’m already done with my business here.” 

Once again, Christopher was rendered speechless. 

Bernard didn’t even get out of the goddamned car! How the heck was he done with his business? 

“The first class will start in five minutes. Is it okay if I get my driver to drive you home?” Christopher suggested, albeit exasperatedly. 

Bernard glanced at his watch. “If you continue to mull over this dilemma for two more minutes, you can get back to the academy just in time to miss the first lesson entirely.” 

He sounded very firm, Clearly, there was no room for negotiation. 

Christopher was 

was starting to get angry, but he dared not show it for fear of offending Bernard. So, he could only bum the car around and drive Bernard back to Skynew Heights. Sometime later, the Ferrari reached Skyview Heights 

After Bernard got out of the car, he said frostily, “Since you like being a driver that much, you should just apply for a job as a designated driver.” 

Christopher was so furious that he almost popped a vein on the spot. He finally realized that Bernard was doing this just to mess with him on purpose. 

And all of this sparked because Christopher came up with an excuse to drive Hera to school? 

Christopher clenched his fists tightly for a moment. He mustered all of his courage to ask, “Professor Killian, may I ask you a question? What’s your relationship with Hera?”
