Chapter 150 A Guilty Conscience
Ethan Sanders felt his mouth go dry. He quickly downed his drink, but the heat in his chest wouldn't go away. Alissa Garcia noticed and poured him another drink, smiling, "Ethan, have some juice. You probably didn't drink enough water this afternoon at the office."
"Thanks, Ms. Garcia," Ethan replied, feeling guilty. He sipped from the cup, avoiding eye contact with Audrey Johnson. Her presence made him restless, and he kept shifting in his seat.
"Ethan, what's with all the fidgeting?" Vanessa Wood teased with a mischievous grin. "Not used to being around two stunning ladies, or are you up to something naughty? You should take notes from Mr. Carter here. Look how composed he is. A true gentleman, right, Mr. Carter?"
She glanced at David Carter, her smooth white arm brushing against him lightly.
"Ha ha, Vanessa, don't say that. Ethan's usually well-behaved," David Carter said, blushing and avoiding her gaze. Ever since Vanessa had semi-forced him into a blowjob, he felt guilty, fearing their secret would come out. He also had trouble sleeping at night, feeling ashamed as he lay beside his unsuspecting wife, and worrying that Vanessa might continue to pursue him.
However, since that incident, Vanessa hadn't approached him again, which relieved him but also left him faintly disappointed. Alone in his office, he often recalled the scene of Vanessa pleasuring him, the most satisfying ejaculation of his life, and secretly wished for a repeat, though he couldn't bring himself to ask.
Audrey Johnson blushed a bit. She had a hunch about Ethan's feelings for her but played it cool. She knew he kept glancing her way since he sat down, but she didn't mind. Ethan was a decent guy and never crossed any lines, which she found sweet, but it was just that—sweet.
Ethan's reserved and composed nature made him a reliable colleague and friend, but he wasn't the type to make Audrey's heart race. She liked men with a bit of dominance, like her husband, who was supremely confident—though sometimes overly so, bordering on arrogance. If Oliver Jones were twenty years younger, he'd be irresistible to her. Even now, she found it hard to dislike him, despite her aversion to the power dynamics in their relationship.
Kevin , despite his youth, had a boldness that many grown men lacked. He dared to have sex with his teacher, masturbate in front of a much older female teacher, and smash the principal's office window. While these actions weren't commendable, his courage was undeniable.
Reflecting on her interactions with Kevin , Audrey realized her feelings for him began to develop after his challenges to rules, authority, and morality. If Kevin had been just a diligent, obedient student, she would never have felt anything beyond a teacher-student relationship.
Audrey glanced at Ethan, who was blushing and seemed lost. She sighed inwardly. Ethan was a good guy, but his goodness was also his flaw. He didn't know how to win a woman's heart and was too shy. Even Quentin Rodriguez, with his persistent advances despite her cold rejections, was much stronger than Ethan.
At one point, Audrey had even thought that if she weren't married, she might be overwhelmed by Quentin's relentless pursuit. In contrast, Ethan had shared an office with her for years, seeing each other daily, yet he hadn't even confessed his feelings. He wrote her vague, poetic notes instead, not realizing that Kevin 's direct approach, crude as it was, had been more effective. Though she initially found Kevin 's bluntness shocking, it had subverted her perception of him forever.
In most teacher-student romances, it's usually the female student pursuing the male teacher. A female teacher seducing a male student is easier, but the reverse is almost impossible. A male student faces numerous barriers in pursuing a female teacher, the most significant being the invisible boundary of their teacher-student relationship. Kevin 's success with Alissa Garcia was because she had already crossed that line. For Kevin to break that boundary with Audrey required even greater effort.
Seeing Vanessa Wood's smug looks, Alissa felt disconcerted. She'd always looked down on Vanessa, who never took her job seriously and preferred to flirt with male colleagues. Alissa had thought Vanessa wouldn't get promoted, but somehow, Vanessa had managed to get David Carter to fabricate achievements for her, and even the principal, Oliver Jones, supported her promotion.
Thinking of this, Alissa felt indignant on Audrey's behalf. Over the past few years, Audrey Johnson had diligently applied herself to her work, showcasing impressive accomplishments both in performance and papers. Her shorter teaching years compared to Vanessa meant they were promoted together, which was a joke. However, with the current situation, there was little Alissa could do but accept it.
Seeing Vanessa leaning against David, smug, Alissa couldn't help but scoff, "Oh, Ms. Wood, I'm not worthy of being called a beauty. If anyone deserves that title, it's you. Even the education bureau knows your name. It's a pity you're wasting your talents as a teacher. You should be a TV host. Don't you all agree?"
Alissa's words seemed like praise but were actually a subtle jab at Vanessa, implying she was just a pretty face. The others, also annoyed by Vanessa's arrogance, agreed enthusiastically, saying she would make a great TV host or even a star.
Vanessa knew Alissa was mocking her, her face changing with anger. She wanted to retort but couldn't find any faults in Alissa's words. She slumped back in her chair, her chest heaving with indignation.
"Alright, everyone, let's settle down. I have something to say," David Carter interjected.
