Chapter 78: Why Don't You Be My Private Tutor?
He wanted to see how far he could take things with Emelia and whether he could get her to succumb to his charm and have a forbidden affair with him. He didn\'t just want to bed her; he wanted her to desire him as much as he desired her.
Lucifer then walked inside the classroom, making his way to the empty seat beside Emelia. He took a seat and turned to face her, a smile on his face as he greeted her. "Hello, Professor Emelia. What are you doing here all alone?"
"Oh, Mr. Reynolds... Hello." Emelia was surprised by Lucifer\'s presence. However, she kept her composure and replied, "I\'m just working on some things for my class. And what about you? I think your classes don\'t start this early."
"Yes, they don\'t. I\'m just here to kill some time after my meeting with the university administration office. I asked for flexible attendance accommodations since I don\'t have much time for classes." Lucifer replied as he looked at Emelia. He could see the curiosity in her eyes as she listened to him.
"Flexible attendance accommodations? Why do you need something like that?" Emelia asked with a hint of concern in her voice. She didn\'t want Lucifer to lose focus on his education and end up dropping out of university. She wanted all of her students to succeed, and Lucifer was no exception.
But before Lucifer could answer Emelia\'s question, she continued with a stern look on her face, "Don\'t tell me that it\'s because of your extracurricular activities, Mr. Reynolds. You know how important it is to attend classes regularly. And I don\'t want to hear any excuses about how you\'re busy playing football or something like that."
Lucifer couldn\'t help but smile as he looked at Emelia, thinking that she was sexy when she was being serious. "It\'s not because of my extracurricular activities, Professor. Trust me. It\'s just because I don\'t have much time for classes with my busy schedule outside the university. And it\'s not like I\'m skipping classes; I\'m just attending them less frequently.
I need the flexible attendance accommodations so that I can keep up with my studies and still have time for my other commitments."
"I see... But what are these \'other commitments\' that you\'re talking about, Mr. Reynolds? As a student, I don\'t expect you to have too many things on your plate other than studying, and the university provides a lot of resources for its students. So, what is it that you have to do that takes up so much of your time?" Emelia asked as she looked into Lucifer\'s eyes, trying to understand him better.
She wanted to know what he was up to and whether she needed to give him a stern warning about focusing on his education.
"Well... I recently became the managing director of a modeling agency. It\'s a lot of work, but I love it. It\'s challenging and exciting, and I learn new things every day. I don\'t want to give it up just because of school. So, I applied for flexible attendance accommodations where I can do both." Lucifer replied, hoping that Emelia would understand.
However, Emelia frowned at Lucifer\'s answer and said, "A managing director? Isn\'t that something that\'s too much for a student who has yet to finish university? I\'m not saying it\'s impossible, but I do think students like you should focus on their studies before taking on such responsibilities. Besides, you know that some of your courses are difficult, right?
And I don\'t think you can keep your grades the same if you have a busy schedule outside the university."
"Hmmm... you are right. The one you teach, for example. It\'s indeed quite challenging." Lucifer nodded his head as he added, "However, the timing of your lectures is not the same as my schedule. I have more time during the evening, so I don\'t think I\'ll be able to attend them. Still, rest assured, I won\'t be neglecting my studies."
"What? My lectures?" Emelia was surprised by Lucifer\'s words. She couldn\'t believe that he would choose her lectures to skip. "I think you\'re underestimating how difficult my lectures are, Mr. Reynolds. And I don\'t think you can keep up with them if you\'re not attending them regularly.
After all, they require a lot of discussion and participation."
"I know that, Professor. But like I said, I can\'t attend your lectures at the given time. However, if you\'re that concerned about it, why don\'t you be my private tutor and teach me in my house when it\'s convenient for me? Of course, I\'ll pay you for your time." Lucifer replied with a mischievous grin on his face as he looked at Emelia.
This was the perfect opportunity to get close to her, and he wasn\'t going to miss it.
"What? Me, your private tutor?" Emelia was taken aback by Lucifer\'s suggestion. She hadn\'t expected him to ask her something like that, and she was unsure whether it was a good idea or not.
"Yes, Professor. Why don\'t we meet after your lectures at my house, and you can help me understand the lessons? That way, I won\'t fall behind in your class, and you\'ll have the satisfaction of knowing that your students are getting the best education possible." Lucifer smirked at Emelia as he continued, "After all, you\'re the best lecturer in the university.
I wouldn\'t want to miss out on your lectures because of my busy schedule."
Emelia blushed at Lucifer\'s words. She couldn\'t deny the fact that she was flattered by his compliment. However, she still had doubts about being his private tutor. But knowing that she just wanted to help her students achieve their goals and make them successful, she eventually nodded her head and said, "Fine. I\'ll be your private tutor, Mr. Reynolds.
But I expect you to study hard and not waste my time."
"Oh, I won\'t. You have my word, Professor. And I promise, I\'ll make it worth your while." Lucifer replied with a mischievous grin on his face. He could feel the excitement building inside him as he thought about having Emelia all to himself. It would be the perfect opportunity to get close to her, and he wasn\'t going to miss it.
"Mhmm... Let\'s see if you keep your word, Mr. Reynolds." Emelia said, a hint of warning in her tone.
