Chapter 1574
Audrey and Kimberly, both grappling with similar issues, chatted for a while. Kimberly stood up and stretched lazily. She was wearing tight jeans paired with a cropped white top, revealing a slim waist and a hint of her navel, which looked particularly enticing.
"Kimberly, you have such an incredible figure," Audrey genuinely complimented. Kimberly's tall and slender frame was model-like, especially her long, straight legs that looked even more striking in jeans.
"Oh, come on, who at our school would dare say they have a better figure than you? You're just teasing me," Kimberly pouted, eyeing Audrey's ample chest with envy.
In truth, Audrey's build was similar to hers, but she just happened to have a much fuller bust, which seemed almost unfair.
Audrey blushed deeply and said helplessly, "I don't know what you're talking about. Look at your waist, it's much slimmer than mine, and your legs too. I'm always worried about my clothes not fitting because my legs and waist are so thick."
"Who says that? You're just right," Kimberly said modestly, though she felt a bit smug inside. At least she had something better than Audrey. Women always compare their husbands, their kids, and their figures. Since neither of them had kids and their husbands weren't around, they could only compare their figures.
"What's good about it? I can't even fit into my old jeans anymore," Audrey said, distressed. "I've gained ten pounds since I started working here, and you haven't gained an ounce."
"How about we start running after work? Night running is popular now. I see a lot of people running at the new stadium on the west side," Kimberly suggested with a smile. "Let's run until New Year's and surprise your husband with a new look."
"I don't have time for that. After work, I still have to grade papers and handle a bunch of other things," Audrey sighed. Being a homeroom teacher wasn't easy.
"By the way, Audrey, I think I found a lump in my breast. It's been there for a few days and hasn't gone away. It doesn't hurt or itch. Can you take a look?" Kimberly unbuttoned her shirt and pulled down her bra, revealing a full breast with a rosy nipple.
"Where exactly? Let me see," Audrey said, peering down. She saw a small red bump near Kimberly's areola, slightly smaller than a pea. She touched it gently and remarked, "It looks like it might be eczema or maybe a cyst. You should get it checked at the hospital."
"I don't want to go. The last time I went, there was this young male doctor who couldn't figure it out after examining me for a long time. I got so mad, I yelled at him, and the head of the department had to come out and apologize," Kimberly said angrily.
"You really are something. I bet the local hospital has you on their blacklist," Audrey laughed. Most county hospitals were like that. The better doctors either got poached by private hospitals or moved to city hospitals. The local clinics couldn't attract enough patients, and the county hospitals struggled to stay afloat on government funding alone.
"Audrey, I brought you some coffee... Kimberly, you..."
Suddenly, the door burst open, and Kevin rushed in, holding two cups of coffee. He froze when he saw Kimberly with her shirt open and Audrey's hand on her breast. He was stunned, thinking maybe Audrey and Kimberly were a couple.
Kimberly was equally shocked. After a few seconds, she quickly turned around, adjusted her bra, and buttoned up her shirt, her ears burning and her heart racing. Even though Kevin had seen her body before, Audrey was right there, and she couldn't just brush it off.
"Kevin, what's wrong with you? Don't you know to knock before entering?" Audrey's face darkened, and she said sternly, "Apologize to Kimberly right now."
"Kimberly, I'm really sorry. I didn't know you were here. I didn't see anything," Kevin stammered, quickly bowing and apologizing.
"Forget it. Audrey, you go ahead. I'll be leaving," Kimberly said without looking at Kevin, grabbing her lunchbox and hurrying out. She wasn't really angry, just worried that Audrey might get the wrong idea.
Seeing that Kimberly didn't make a fuss, Audrey breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Kevin was her cousin, and she had to give Kimberly an explanation.
Kevin stepped closer, grinning. "Audrey, what were you and Ms. Rivera doing just now?"
"Kevin, cut it out," Audrey huffed. "Just because Ms. Rivera didn't make a big deal out of it doesn't mean it's over. This is a school. From now on, you must knock before entering my office. And don't call me Audrey. I've told you before, at school, you must call me Ms. Johnson. Show some respect."
"Got it, Ms. Johnson," Kevin said, placing the coffee on her desk with a cheeky smile. "Here's your favorite latte. I waited in line forever. Drink it while it's hot. It's cold today, and it'll warm you up."
Audrey couldn't stay mad at Kevin when he was being so deferential. She took a sip of the warm coffee, feeling the comforting warmth spread through her body. But after drinking a third of it, she handed it back to Kevin, saying, "You finish it. It's too sweet. Don't buy it again. I don't want to gain weight."
"Thank you, my queen," Kevin said in a mock-serious tone, kneeling on one knee like a character from a medieval TV show. "I shall follow your commands without question."
Audrey couldn't help but laugh, her stern demeanor melting away. "What am I going to do with you? You're so reckless. It's a good thing it was Ms. Rivera and she didn't make a scene. Otherwise, I'd have had to send you to the Student Affairs Office."
"Thank you for saving me, Ms. Johnson. I'll never forget it. I'm willing to devote my life to you," Kevin joked, grinning. "What do you say, Ms. Johnson?"
"Who would want that?" Audrey scoffed, glancing at the clock. It was almost one o'clock. She got up and headed to the small bed at the back of the office. "If you're tired, take a nap on the couch. I'm going to sleep."
"Audrey, the couch is too soft and uncomfortable. Let me sleep on the bed with you," Kevin followed her into the back room. Since Audrey had redecorated Alissa's office, it had become cozy with new sheets, pillows, and curtains. But she had never let Kevin share the bed with her there.
"No way," Audrey refused firmly. She knew if she let Kevin into the bed, she wouldn't get any sleep. Plus, it was too risky.
"How about a massage then?" Kevin persisted, reaching for her shoulders.
"Absolutely not," Audrey frowned. "Kevin, if you keep this up, you won't touch me for the rest of the month."
"Fine, I'm leaving," Kevin said, seeing she was serious. He got up and walked out.
Once Kevin left, Audrey drew the curtains, locked the door, set an alarm on her phone, and slipped off her shoes and jeans. She lay down on the bed, curling up on her side. Her long legs, encased in thin leggings, looked full and firm, and her hips were round and perky. The leggings were so sheer that the outline of her underwear was visible, as well as the shape of her mons pubis.
"Sweetheart!"
A voice echoed in her ears. Audrey tried to open her eyes but felt like they were glued shut. She sensed a heavy body pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe. A large hand grabbed her breast, sending waves of pleasure coursing through her body.
"Sweetheart, let's make love," the voice whispered. It was Jason’s voice. Audrey felt a surge of joy, thinking she was back in her bedroom at home. She moved her hips, allowing him to pull down her leggings and underwear, leaving her lower body exposed.
Jason's hands roamed greedily over her hips and thighs, sending shivers of pleasure through her. Soon, her love juice was evident. She panted, "Kevin, come in."
As soon as she said it, Jason's movements halted. Panic set in as she realized she had called out the wrong name. She tried to get up and explain, but to her shock, the man on top of her wasn't her husband or Kevin. It was Angus, the district superintendent.
"Angus, why are you here?" Audrey struggled. "We can't do this. You can't put that in."
"Audrey, I'm the man for you. Jason isn't right for you, and neither is Kevin. Only I can make you happy," Angus said, moving his hips closer to her thighs.
Audrey was horrified that he had discovered her secret. She tried to resist but felt weak and helpless. She could only watch as his heated desire approached her, feeling a sense of despair as her body and soul seemed to plunge into an endless abyss.
