Professor F

Chapter 79

"August! August!"

Wearing her pale blue long sleeves folded up to her elbow and tucked in her black pants paired with

black block heel ankle boots, August turned around to face Jacob, her direct supervisor in an

Engineering firm in New York.

After her graduation rights, she received a call from the firm she went to for an internship congratulating

her. They also told her the good news of giving her an entry level job in their head quarters based in

New York and offered their educational assistance in taking Masters in New York State University. The

only condition is that she needs to secure her license and pass the certification requirements.

Her family was beyond amazement when she told them about it after hanging up the phone.

"I have a meeting with a client after lunch. Would you mind putting the approved revisions on the file I

sent you?"

She nodded and went back to her desk to check the file as Jacob leaves for the door.

She's been working as an junior engineer for six months while studying her Masters of Science in

Environmental Engineering.

She works with a team of men who were pleased to have her. They even said that her recommendation

was a breather for all them. It wasn't the first time they had a female colleague in their team but it's

been long since they had one or since Jacob started with the company himself five years ago.

Five years ago...

She sighed while looking at the revisions she needs to add on the program. Although it's a long time

ago, she can't help but remember how she started at Pearsons University, working with a group of men

at the cafe, doing tutorials and her studies. And then she met Flynn, even dated him and met his family

and friends.

"Flynn..." She whispered gently. She haven't heard anything from anyone or from him. "Where'd you

go?"

She even tried to look him up on social media platforms but nothings comes up with his name. It's like

he purposely deleted his existence. That was how much he wanted to get out of her life? Even during

the festival held in Europe, he didn't come or his family. It's always just the representatives of the Royal

Family who appears to celebrate.

"I grabbed coffee." A man's voice answered.

"W—What?" She didn't realize she was thinking out loud that her colleague, Charlie, thought she was

asking him. "Oh!" She forced a laugh to cover her embarrassment and pretended she was talking to

him. "Thought you went to buy lunch."

Charlie looked confused. "I thought we ordered Chinese for lunch—did they cancel?"

Crap! She forgot about ordering it herself earlier. "N—No. I meant, I thought you bought lunch when we

already ordered Chinese." Smooth!

Charlie smiled widely. "No." He laughed as he leaned to check on her monitor. "I just feel sleepy today.

Are those the revisions for the project in South Lake?"

She nodded. "Jacob asked me to put them."

Charlie nodded. "Cool. Want me to help?"

She smiled. "It's fine. I can do it. You should get back to the project he mentioned during the meeting."

"Yeah, that was a complicated one. Alright, I'll leave you to it then." He said and went back to his desk

as sipped from his cup of coffee.

Charlie's desk is just next to hers and aside from Jacob, he's been very helpful to her when she started.

He acts like an older brother to her. She even met his fiancée when they had a company gathering a

month ago.

Working with them is totally different because most of them talked about their kids and wives and

girlfriends. Unlike when she was in college working with the guys at the cafe, they all seems to be up

for dates and flings.

They had lunch together and went back to their work. Time went by so fast and she was left in the

office after finishing the task Jacob asked of her and sent the final program for review. She was about This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

to turn her computer off when she received an email from Jacob.

It was about a big project that the firm started years ago
and Jacob's team was tapped to assist in doing

test runs at the location with the other developers.

She got excited. This is the first time she got to participate in a major project since she started her

internship and now working as a junior engineer. They usually handle minor projects as an intern and

probationary employee. She was sometimes allowed by Jacob to shadow on some major projects he's

assigned to do just to give her an exposure.

Jacob sent the schedule for tomorrow showing a meeting in the morning with their firm heads and

project leaders. Then a lunch meeting with the other firm who worked on the project.

She tried to look for the project name and data but her phone started to ring with her roommate's name

on the screen. She answered the call as she decided to turn her computer off. "Yes, Gabi. Just turning

off my computer. I'm heading out in a minute. I'll see you at the coffee shop."

Gabi is her roommate at New York State University dormitory. She's also taking her Masters for Legal

Studies while working as a legal assistant in a law firm. It's a typical roommate to friends story.

And tonight Gabi will bring her to a dinner place she's been telling her about. Gabi's parents are

lawyers and she has an older brother who is also a practicing lawyer in New York. She never met him

though because he was always busy but it felt like she knew him because Gabi loves to talk about her

big brother. A typical proud sister moment for her.

"Oh and by the way, someone's joining us for dinner."

"Are you dating this guy?" She teased.

Gabi laughed. "As if I had time to date around. It's my brother, Garett. He finally cleared his schedule

for me.”
