"Hey, baby! You are finally here. And is this Miss Alessandro?"

The woman, who looked exactly like some supermodel with her shoulder-length auburn hair and raven eyes, asked Jackson as she came closer to plant a sweet kiss at the corner of his mouth.

Emily immediately looked away to give the couple some privacy, not like they needed it.

"Emily, meet my fiance, Bianca Jennet. And Bee, this is our one and only Princess Emily." Jackson introduced them with a sweet smile on his face.

"Don't embarrass me!" Emily muttered to Jackson before shaking Bianca's hand.

"It's nice to meet you, Miss Jennet." She said with a soft smile on her face.

"Oh, come on, darling! There's no need to be so formal with me. Just call me Bianca or Bee like my closed ones. By the way, I'm really happy to finally meet you. You are so pretty and cute."

Emily felt her cheeks flaming at her words. Not knowing how to handle the situation, she just fixed her eyes at her feet to hide her embarrassment.

But looked like she failed poorly because the very next second she heard Miss Jennet making a squealing sound.

"See, babes! She's so cute. Can we make some bargain with Domenic and adopt her?"

Emily immediately looked up in shock at the woman who was literally beaming at her with stars in her eyes.

It was like she was really very happy to see Emily as her happiness could be seen shining in her eyes.

"Enough, Bee. Stop scaring little Emily. Look at the poor child, she is about to throw a punch at you." Jackson immediately stated as he reprimanded his fiance.

But who told him that questioning his soon-to-be wife's decisions was a good idea?

Just in a matter of seconds, Emily watched as Miss Jennet launched into a lecture that probably needed a few hours to conclude.

Seeing that she had a good chance of escaping, she did not miss the chance and slowly fled the scene, making sure that neither Jackson nor Miss Jennet noticed her absence.

There was only one room on the sixth floor. Of course, it was the library and it was huge.

She stumbled across a few students who looked almost normal like her, but she had no idea if they were really normal or not.

The good thing was that no one paid any attention to her.

She slowly made her way towards the history department and almost lost her thinking capacity when she realized that there were hundreds of books lined on the shelves on the history of each of the supernatural species.

After struggling for a few minutes, she finally took out an old and thin book that appeared to be about the history of supernaturals as a whole rather than of any specific kind.

She was in the search of a silent and hidden area in the library where she could read the book when she stumbled across the Second Sullivan Master who was sitting alone at a table hidden in the most remote area of the library.

Unfortunately, before she could fly from there, Rylan noticed her.

"Hey!"

"Bye"

She immediately replied and turned around to run away from him when she felt a grip on her arm which pulled her towards an empty seat on the left side of his chair.

"I have something important to discuss with you," Rylan said as he pulled her bag and the history book out of her hands and put them on the table.

"Sorry, but I'm busy."

Emily immediately replied as she tried to stand up and grab her things, but of course, she did not succeed.

"Look, it's really important. It's kind of a deal and you are definitely gonna like it." Rylan immediately said as he pulled her back on her seat.

Emily knew that she could not outrun the boy, so she decided to listen to whatever he wanted to say.

When Rylan was sure that she was no longer going to run away, he finally retracted his hand from around her arm and settled down in his seat.

"Can you please make it quick?"

The glare that she aimed at the Sup made him chuckle as he shook his head before saying, "Goodness! I almost mistook you for a timid and weak human initially and now I'm realizing that you are just as feisty and strong-headed as your brothers."

Her glare only hardened as she moved to stand up but was immediately stopped by Rylan who moved his hands in a surrender position.

"Fine! Let's move to the main topic."

Emily settled down in her seat as she turned to face the boy. She did not trust him at all and it would be much better if she could keep her entire focus on him.

After all, she was not going to give him a second chance to stab her.

Even though he succeeded in fooling her brothers, she won't be fooled by him.

"I have a proposal for you. If we worked together on this proposal, we both will be benefited from it." Rylan stated in a serious tone.

However, Emily just scoffed in reply as she said, "Can you just get to the point?"

"Alright! So here's the deal. I want to pass this final year of high school and you want to learn about the supernaturals and their community. I have seen your records, you are good at human studies and I have all the knowledge that you are looking for. I want you to help me in my studies so that I can pass the final exams and in return, I'll teach you everything that you want to know about us."

Emily was silent for a few minutes as she observed Rylan.

Even though she did not trust him completely but somehow, she knew that he was serious about his deal.

"It's not a bad deal. But I want a demo before finalizing this deal." She finally answered.

"A demo?" Rylan asked in confusion.

"Yep!"

Emily nodded her head as she pulled the history book that she founded and moved it towards Rylan.

"Why don't you explain the first chapter of this book to me? If I find you authentic enough, I'll help you tomorrow in school. If everything went well, we will keep doing it for a week, and if after an entire week we both will be satisfied with each other's teaching skills, we will finalize the deal." Emily explained her idea.

Rylan was dumbstruck as he stared at the girl in surprise.

"No doubt that you are an Alessandro. You even know how to do business at such a young age. Tsk tsk!"

Even though he shook his head with a sigh leaving his lips, he picked up the book and opened the first chapter.

That's how Emily found herself sitting in the most remote area of the library while Rylan explained to her the contents of not only the first, second, or third, but all the ten chapters that were present in the old book.

"Wow, I'm currently feeling like my brain just has gulped down an entire encyclopedia. There's so much to learn." Emily muttered while she checked her watch after Rylan finished explaining the entire book.

There were still ten minutes left before she needed to be at the parking lot.

"So.....?"

Rylan's questioning tone pulled her attention towards him.

"I'll see you tomorrow in Chemistry class. Make sure to bring your book and an extra notebook."

Emily said before she stood up and picked her bag. She did not even spare another look at the boy before she walked away from there.

She was heading towards the elevator to head downstairs when she felt very familiar soft tingles erupting over her body for a second.

But it disappeared just as quickly as it came, leaving Emily completely confused and surprised.

She moved her eyes around the hallway to see if someone was there but found no one.

After shaking her head a little to get rid of her disturbing feelings, she moved towards the elevator and pressed the button.

As the door opened, her eyes landed on a very familiar figure.

"Mr. Kim?"

She called out in surprise which made the man to finally look up from the folder that he was holding open in his hands.

"Oh! Miss Alessandro. What a nice surprise to see you here. I hope you enjoyed your time here." Mr. Kim said as he walked out of the elevator.

"Yeah, this place is actually nice. Thank you for asking." Emily politely replied as she walked into the elevator.

It was not until she was already inside the lift that her eyes landed on another familiar figure.

"Boss, are you not....."

"You go ahead. I have left my phone in the car. I'll go and retrieve it." Kaiden told his Secretary as he cut him off in the middle of his question.

Emily suddenly wanted to escape the elevator but it was like Kaiden read her thoughts because before she could make her move, he already pushed the button and the door closed as the lift started descending.

The last thing that she saw before the elevator door closed was the baffled look on Mr. Kim's face as the man stared at his boss.
