Chapter 1455
"I understand, thank you, Audrey," Alissa's heart skipped a beat. She suppressed a smile and nodded solemnly. Since she became the deputy director, it was understood that once David retired at the end of the year, she would naturally take over his position.
Most people in the office were pleased with this outcome. Alissa had been with Sunset Valley High for a long time, had good rapport with everyone, and her teaching skills were highly regarded by the administration. She was currently overseeing project applications.
Yet, in any organization, there were always a few who couldn't stand others doing better than themselves. After Alissa became the deputy director, someone wrote an anonymous letter to the education bureau accusing her of accepting gifts from parents when she was a homeroom teacher. Luckily, Oliver managed to resolve the issue, but it was clear those people weren't giving up and would continue looking for her weaknesses.
"Alissa, the documents are all set. Please review them. I'll head back to my office first." Seeing that Alissa had listened, Audrey smiled slightly, turned, and left her office. When she arrived back at her own office, she saw Ethan mopping the floor alone. She sighed inwardly. Ethan was indeed a good man—kind, diligent, and honest. But her heart and mind were now occupied by Kevin, more so than her husband Jason, leaving no room for anyone else.
"Ms. Johnson, you're back," Ethan said, turning around with a joyful look. His expression then became somewhat awkward, and in his flustered state, he accidentally knocked over a nearby bucket, spilling water all over the floor.
"Let me help," Audrey said, seeing Ethan at a loss. She stepped forward to take the mop from him. Instinctively, Ethan pulled his arm back, causing Audrey to lose her balance and slip on the spilled water, falling to the ground.
Ethan quickly reached out to catch her from behind. However, Audrey's wool sweater was slippery, and she was falling fast. His hand slid under her armpit and instinctively grabbed her large, full breasts to steady her. The sensation made his arms and wrists stiffen, and his fingers subconsciously sank deeply into Audrey's soft breast flesh.
So big, Ethan thought, his mind spinning. He felt that his hands couldn't fully grasp Audrey's ample breasts. The firm, resilient mounds seemed to have a life of their own, constantly trying to escape his grasp. He tried his best to hold her steady with his entire arm.
"Mmm, mmm!" Audrey, already aroused from spying on Alissa and Kevin earlier, now found herself in Ethan's arms. Her sensitive breasts were being kneaded, causing her nipples to tingle, her lower abdomen to heat up, and her core to feel an insistent itch. She couldn't help but moan softly.
Ethan held her tall, voluptuous body, his hands tightly gripping what many men desired. His penis rubbed against her rounded, full buttocks, and his penis quickly hardened, instinctively pressing against her, reveling in the contact. He whispered, "Ms. Johnson, you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine, let go of me," Audrey panted, her face flushed crimson. Her body, tender from his touch, twisted to break free from his embrace. This only pressed them closer together, her ample buttocks squeezing his hard penis, arousing him further.
Ethan wished he could hold onto her forever, knowing he might never experience such intimacy with her again. But he worried she would be angry, so he reluctantly released her firm, ample breasts.
Audrey took a few steps forward, her face aflame. She adjusted her clothes and looked back at Ethan, biting her lip, unsure of what to say. She had slipped, and Ethan had only tried to help. Feeling a bit bloated in her lower abdomen, she quickly left the office for the restroom.
Ethan watched Audrey's alluring figure, his mind filled with fantasies. Since his tryst with Cecilia in West Stream Town, he had been increasingly drawn to the allure of women. Once a man has had his first taste, it's hard to resist the temptation.
But what he desired most was to make love to Audrey. Casual sex with someone he didn't care about wasn't making love; it lacked the emotional connection. He didn't like meaningless physical release; he longed for a connection with someone he truly liked.
After a while, Audrey returned to the office, her cheeks still flushed. She glanced at Ethan, who was staring at her, and quickly looked away, not daring to meet his eyes. She instinctively covered her chest with her hands and returned to her desk to prepare lessons.
Ethan picked up a pen to grade assignments, but his mind was still replaying the sensation of touching Audrey's breasts. It was his first time feeling her chest, and it was even more incredible than he had imagined. Unfortunately, he couldn't fully appreciate the allure of Audrey's breasts through her clothes.
Audrey was accustomed to taking a nap at noon and soon felt drowsy. Seeing that it was still early, she rested her head on her desk and drifted off to sleep, her hair spilling over her face.
Ethan noticed a sliver of Audrey's waist peeking out from under her sweater, her skin smooth as porcelain, making his heart race. He wanted to touch it but restrained himself. Seeing Audrey still holding a pen, he couldn't help but fantasize about that delicate hand reaching into his pants and stroking him. His penis was immediate.
With Audrey sound asleep, a reckless idea crept into Ethan's mind. He cautiously glanced around, making sure she wouldn't wake. Then, he slowly unzipped his pants, nervously pulling out his erect cock and began to stroke it.
Ethan's penis wasn't remarkable, but it was longer than Jason's. At that moment, his cock was throbbing, veins prominent, and the tip swollen and dark with arousal. A bead of pre-cum formed at the tip.
He gazed at Audrey's curvaceous figure, gripping himself tighter, imagining the sensation of sliding into her warmth. The thought was both exhilarating and terrifying. He felt a tingling sensation building and quickly grabbed a tissue, covering the tip. With a few more strokes, he came, stifling a groan.
"Damn," Ethan panted, cleaning himself up. Looking at Audrey's slightly arched buttocks, he fantasized about what it would be like to make love to her. He'd do anything for just one chance.
A few minutes later, Audrey woke up, her cheeks flushing as she glanced at Ethan. She had just dreamed about making love to Kevin, but when climax came, it was Ethan she saw. Remembering the dream, where Ethan's hot cum filled her, made her blush deeply. She discreetly touched herself and realized her panties were damp.
What was wrong with me? Why did I dream about Ethan, and why did I enjoy it so much? It's all Vanessa's fault for planting these thoughts in my head.
To be honest, Ethan was a good man. If it weren't for Kevin, she might have been tempted. But that was pointless now. She couldn't betray her emotions further; it would make her no better than Vanessa.
As work resumed, teachers gradually began to fill the office, creating a lively atmosphere. They were all buzzing about the new apartment building the school was constructing, which was slated for allocation after the New Year. Many were already making plans, knowing the first phase wouldn't suffice for everyone, and those who missed out would have to wait for the second phase.
Audrey listened to her colleagues' conversations, feeling a bit anxious. Ever since she was kidnapped by a criminal, she'd felt uneasy every night when she returned home. She had been wanting to move out of her current place in the alley, which would also help her avoid running into Christopher and Violet, thereby keeping her relationship with Kevin under wraps.
However, she had only been teaching for three years. Despite achieving an intermediate level, there were many teachers with the same standing at the school, including numerous leaders. If it came down to scoring and ranking, her chances of making it into the first phase were slim.
Audrey knew she could ask Oliver for help, and he would likely step in. But she didn't want to owe him anything. He'd already assisted her with her title once, and she had no idea how to repay him.
Just then, Alissa called, saying she needed to talk. Audrey got up and went to Alissa's office. Alissa handed her a document with a smile and said, "Mr. Jones asked for a progress report. I've got something else to handle, so can you take this to him?"
"What do you say, Alissa? You're the project lead and did most of the work," Audrey hesitated.
"Silly girl, don't you get it?" Alissa replied. "Haven't you heard about the apartments being allocated after the New Year? Everyone's looking for an in. You should bring it up to Mr. Jones. Just for this project alone, he should consider you."
"Alissa, forget it," Audrey said. "There's always the second phase. Everyone will get a place eventually. No need to fight for the first phase."
"You're too naive," Alissa said. "When it comes to housing allocations, the early bird gets the worm. Who knows what the policy will be next year? What if Mr. Jones gets transferred? What if the second phase never happens?"
Persuaded by Alissa, Audrey finally took the documents to Oliver. When she reached the third floor, she saw a dozen teachers waiting outside the principal's office, whispering among themselves. When they noticed Audrey, they fell silent.
Audrey immediately realized these teachers were likely there to discuss housing with Oliver. She hesitated, thinking about leaving, but then Oliver called out, "Ms. Johnson, come on in."
