Chapter 15

"Zoe? What's the answer?" The teacher asked with one of her brows raised as she looked at Zoe, expecting her to say something.

"Uh, letter B?" She answered nervously.

"And why is that?" The teacher once again asked as she tried to test her knowledge.

"Because Assets are the items your company owns that can provide future economic benefit. Liabilities are what you owe other parties." Zoe answered as she forced some of her confidence out. She remembered what Julian said about this topic, Julian started to tutor her and she remembered it. It was a bit shocking to her as she thought that she would be distracted by Julian himself.

"Correct, well done Ms. Carson." The teacher smiled at Zoe's direction. She then looked at Julian who was sitting beside her and nodded her head as a 'Thank you' for tutoring Zoe.

Zoe then sat on her seat as she smiled looking at her fiddling fingers. She really did it, she saw herself improving day by day and she's very proud of herself. She suddenly felt eyes on her making her look at the person's direction. She then saw Julian staring at her with a slight smile on his lips. "W-what?" Zoe stuttered.

"Nothing." He said as a soft chuckle left his lips before getting back to what he was doing.

Zoe couldn't help but to blush on the spot, she never imagined this happening. An uncomfortable feeling suddenly interrupted her thoughts as she raised her hand for the teacher's attention. "Yes Ms. Carson?" The teacher asked.

"May I go to the restroom?" She asked as the teacher nodded, agreeing to the girl's request.

Zoe then stood up as she quickly ran for the restroom, she couldn't hold her pee much longer. After finishing her business in the restroom she quickly walked towards their classroom as she finally sat on her seat. She saw Julian smirk as he looked at something on his desk, as a result—Zoe looked at where he was looking and it made her jaw drop when she saw what the boy was smirking about.

It was her phone, Katherine texted her and it made the phone show her lockscreen. She then panicked as she knew that Julian was the one who's on her lockscreen. She quickly caught her phone in her hands as she hid it in her bag, not wanting him to stare at it any longer.

Julian's smirk grew seeing her reaction. "Nice lock screen you got there." He chuckled, raising his brow.

Zoe felt embarrassed as she hid her tomato face. "It's— I— " Zoe couldn't make out words as she felt her heart beat increase. 'This is so embarrassing!' She thought.

"It's the view from the cafe where we first met, right?" He raised his brow as he looked at her, pretending he didn't see himself in the picture.

"Y-yeah, that's right. It was a beautiful view that's w-why I wanted to take a picture of it." She reasons. Julian smiled as he chuckled at her reaction once again.

"Y-you didn't see anything else?" She asked nervously.

"Nope. Why? Is there more I need to see?" He teased.

"N-no, that's all hehe he he" She laughed nervously. Zoe then starts to get back on answering the problem as she's scolding herself for leaving her phone on the table. Julian couldn't help but form a slight smile on his lips secretly as he too started answering the problem.

Looking at the date on her watch, Zoe's eyes widened as she realized something. She turned her head to Julian as she raised her brows."Today is your game right?" She asked Julian. He then turned his head to her before looking at her with a smile on his lips. "Yeah."

"You'll be cheering for our team right?" He asked, making sure that Zoe is cheering for them. Zoe nod her head and looked at Julian with a smile. "Yes, we've been practicing these months. I also saw you and your team practicing in the past 2 weeks." Julian looked at and frowned his brows.
