Chapter 44
Chapter 44 Was she just flirted with by him?
Audrey returned to her seat.
Opened the notebook with Corbin’s name written on it. That piece of paper was missing.
The heart gave a sudden jolt.
She turned her head to look at Sterling. His dark eyes were indifferently fixed on the blackboard, it was unclear whether he was listening to the math teacher’s lecture. His profile was sharply defined, the tense curve of his jawline exuding an icy aloofness that warned. others to keep their distance.
Audrey sensed the change in his aura.
If she had spoken to him then, he might have kicked her away with one foot!
Audrey tactfully withdrew her gaze, not looking at him again, and busied herself with doodling in her notebook with a pen. Just before class ended, Audrey looked at him again.
He was playing games with his head down, his eyelashes thick and long, even more beautiful than a girl’s. Under his high nose bridge, his light pink lips were slightly pursed. The line from his jaw to his neck. was smooth and attractive, and his prominent Adam’s apple was S**y yet restrained.
He looked quite thin, but upon closer inspection, one could faintly see the firm and beautiful muscles under his shirt. Audrey had seen him beating Eden, his arm muscles bulging, strong and powerful.
She extended her fair index finger and gently poked his arm.
The muscles in his arm tensed and stiffened instantly. He lifted his gaze and shot her a glance.
The gaze, cold and sharp.
Audrey's long lashes fluttered like butterfly wings, her eyes as innocent. as a fawn in the woods. In a soft voice, she said, “I have something to show you.”
Her gaze was as innocent as it could be, like a gem washed by water, so pure that it didn’t contain a trace of impurity.
He tightly pursed his thin, crimson lips, showing no intention of speaking to her.
The warmth in his eyes was like the thousand-year—old ice on a high mountain.
Audrey bit her lower lip, facing his oppressively intense gaze, she forced herself not to look away.
She slowly pushed a piece of paper in front of his desk.
“Take a look,” you said.
Sterling cast a cold glance at the desk, a glance that suddenly tightened his jaw and made his facial contours even more icy. Audrey wrote Sterling's name a hundred times on the paper.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The girl, with her hair in a bun, blinked her big watery eyes, gently tugged at the boy’s sleeve with her fingers, pouted slightly, and her expression was a mix of appeasement and coquetry,
There was a small line of text on the side: “Brother, don’t be angry!” Audrey lay on the desk, not daring to look at Sterling's expression, until the bell rang for the end of class. When she looked towards Sterling, the paper was no longer on his desk. Where had it gone?
Almost the instant she looked at him, he had looked back at her.
He tugged at the corner of his lip, suddenly leaning towards her. He smelled the faint strawberry scent on her.
His cold, handsome face stopped just a fist’s distance away from her, the corner of his lips curling in a faint smirk, “I'll reluctantly forgive you.”
Seeing the blush that emerged on her fair earlobe, the curve of his lips. deepened. Slender and pristine fingers gently pinched her ear. Audrey,
Eden came over to play ball with Sterling. Sterling withdrew his hand, bent over, picked up the basketball, and with his long legs, he walked towards the outside of the classroom.
Audrey was still ina dazed state.
She could still seemingly feel his breath on her earlobe from when he leaned in to speak to her, as well as the sensation of him gently pinching it.
She had ten thousand “what the fuck” in her heart. Just now, was she hit on by Sterling?
