Chapter 107 Kissing
The moment Kaitlin went out of Cody’s office, she smiled since she had heard everything just now.
After school, Manuel came to pick up Serina, and Ainsley went back with them as well.
After the birthday party, Manuel and Ainsley got much closer. Although they still weren’t a couple, it
seemed that they would be soon.
Moreover, Serina, an interfering busybody, had been trying very hard to nudge them into a relationship
“Ainsley, Manuel has been asking about you on the phone recently. I asked him why he didn’t call you
directly, but he didn’t tell me. I think he is too shy to do that!”
“Nonsense.” Manuel put on an angry front.
“It’s not!” Serina leaned over from the back seat and whispered into Manuel’s ear, “Manuel, do you
want to know Ainsley’s secret?”
Ainsley, stunned, looked at her in confusion. What secret could she have?
“Tell me,” Manuel said in a cheerful tone.
Serina raised her eyebrows a bit. “When I went to Ainsley’s office today, I found that she was writing
out something. Do you know what she was writing? Your name.”
Blushing and her eyes widened, Ainsley reached out to cover Serina’s mouth. “What are you talking
about? I didn’t do that.”
“I saw it all!” Serina nodded at Manuel.
Ever since then, Ainsley remained silent while blushing with embarrassment. And the blush didn’t fade
away even when they got to their apartment.
And once Manuel stopped the car, Serina ran upstairs right away so as to leave Manuel and Ainsley
alone.
“Serina was mistaken about what she saw,” Ainsley explained.
Manuel shook his head. “She won’t lie. And you should admit it: I would be very pleased.”
Ainsley blushed again. “Didn’t you keep asking her about me as well?” Ainsley thought, you should
have talked to me directly.
“I don’t want to disturb you.”
“You won’t.” Ainsley raised her head, her eyes looking starry.
Manuel approached her. He was getting closer and closer to her now, so close that he could even see
Ainsley’s eyelashes fluttering.
Actually, he had been holding himself back ever since the first time he saw her.
But now, it seemed that he couldn’t restrain himself anymore since he was so close to her and could
even scent the smell of Ainsley’s
shampoo and her makeup, which was light and fragrant.
And then, there were her starry and charming eyes, in which his face was reflected.
Manuel reached out and pinched her chin before raising it up slowly.
Then he touched her lips with his fingertips.
Ainsley looked at him, her eyes meeting his, which were gentle as hell. She was stunned for a long
time and didn’t come back to her senses until her lips were touched.
“What… What are you doing?” she asked in shock.
Manuel did not expect her to come back to her senses at that time, but he lowered his head regardless.
Sensing that Manuel was approaching, Ainsley hurried to push him away. “You! You rascal!”
With a shout, she got out of the car and went upstairs.
The moment she was in the apartment, she rushed into the bathroom, where she washed her face,
trying to sober herself. But Manuel’s handsome face kept coming to mind. Then she looked up at
herself in the mirror. There were beads of water on her face
She thought, who doesn’t like Manuel? He is such a charmer!
Then she touched her lips a little, which brought to mind how Manuel touched them with his fingers just
now Her heart pounded with excitement, and she felt a blush rise to her cheeks.
She had never felt this way, not even in her marriage with Cason Manuel was the first one who made
her feel this way
In fact, ever since she met Manuel, she constantly felt her heart racing.
She wanted to calm her racing pulse, which, of course, turned out to be a vain attempt. There was no
way one could control his or her feelings
However, she was not sure whether Manuel really wanted to be with her
Even though she knew he liked her, and Manuel had told her that he liked her, it did not mean that they
could really get together After all, she was a divorced woman.
At the thought of this, Ainsley became discouraged. The heat within her faded away as well
Meanwhile, Manuel, who was downstairs, did not know Ainsley was going through all this. All he had
was regret. He wished he could have kissed her more deeply. And as he drove away, he turned down
the air conditioner since the heat within him lingered
Ainsley did not sleep well that night. And after she got to work, she felt uneasy for an unknown reason
And then, Cody brought her a piece of bad news.
“Ainsley, have you shown your paper to anyone?” Cody called her, asking in a serious tone.
Ainsley was perplexed. “Professor Wade, no, I haven’t. You’re the only one I sent to, other than
Psychological Science”
Cody was silent for a long time before sighing, “Ainsley, I believe you. But you should go and check the
school bulletin now.”
Ainsley, confused, hung up the phone and went to the school website, where she found an
announcement. “Congratulations to Kiera Page for publishing a paper on Journal Academy.”
Below the announcement, there was a link to the paper. Opening the link, Ainsley was shocked. Kiera’s
paper was the exact same as the one she wrote. Even the title remained unchanged.
Being able to publish a paper on Journal Academy was quite something since Journal Academy was
only slightly less authoritative than “Psychological Science“. And the point was submitters needn’t have
to wait for a week to get the result of the publication.
Just as she was deep in thought, a staff member from “Psychological Science called“, “Ms. Easton, the
paper you submitted has already been published elsewhere. Did you submit a paper that wasn’t yours?
And what surprised me most is that you plagiarized your colleague’s results. Plagiarism is the worst,
and so are plagiarists like you!”
Ainsley didn’t refute it since she didn’t know how. She was the one who wrote the paper. But why did
someone else beat her to publish
it?
Who was Kiera anyway? Ainsley had never seen her before.
And where did Kiera get her paper?
Meanwhile, in the office of the Department of Psychology, a woman was surrounded by a group of
teachers, all offering their congratulations.
Kiera took the bouquet from the dean and then sent them away with a fake smile. But when she was
about to close the door, the door was held open. Kiera looked up, only to see Ainsley.
“Ms. Easton? Why are you here? I don’t think we have met, right? Or are you here to congratulate
me?” Kiera smiled as she blocked Ainsley’s way into the office.
Ainsley looked at the bouquet in Kiera’s arms and the smug smile on Kiera’s face. That angered
Ainsley a lot.
Are you sure you want me to talk with you standing here? Aren’t you afraid that people will know?”
Ainsley said coldly
Hearing that, Kiera stepped aside and let her in. Then she closed the door behind her.
“Now say what you have to say.”
“Did you write the paper yourself?” Ainsley cut to the chase.
Kiera looked away awkwardly. “If I wasn’t the one who wrote it, maybe you were?”
“Do you know that plagiarism is illegal?” Ainsley frowned.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.” Kiera was a little impatient.
