SIN (Lecturer Dear)

Chapter 80: A Sudden Call from Oma Belle

The glasses girl came to meet Darren in the research room. The time of his arrival was very appropriate because the idol lecturer was also there.

"Is the professor really married?" asked the girl as if she was about to confirm the truth of the news to Darren.

"Yes," replied Darren flatly.

"Who is the Professor's wife?"

"I think you already know the answer."

"So Karen's Dad's wife?" he asked back with a stiffened face.

Not answering, Darren instead said, "Now you know why I don't like you so much as a slander about him." Darren reminded him of his actions that have spread rumors that Karen is the mistress of one of the lecturers in economics. "Karen isn't a mistress, but she's the main one and there's no one else but her."

The girl immediately threw away face with a gloomy expression. "That's right. I actually saw him very close to other lecturers, not just Professors. He doesn't deserve to be Professor's partner!" his looks are defending themselves.

Darren smiled faintly as he shook his head. "Stop vilifying people to raise your quality! I just realized, you're manipulative. So far, there have been no lecturers who have made it difficult for you, right? You always come to complain and cry to me let me be sympathetic," he said unmasked his guidance students all this time.

"Yes, it's true. All I do for the Professor! Because I like you, Father! I want you to focus on me."

"You know, no, why do so many refuse to do good? Because people like you make them feel good to each other. They fear that their kindness will be used. Today it is difficult to distinguish who really needs help or just a mode" said Darren, "I think, you are just lonely and need a friend who can hear your complaints. But, sorry ... I am no longer your teaching supervisor," he continued firmly.

"Originally you know, I also do not want to viralin the photo if you are not abstinent. I admit, I got carried away with emotions for a moment." At this moment, there was a hint of regret in him for acting without a second thought.

"I'm not afraid of any evidence you have to take me and Karen down because we're indeed tied to marriage. Your actions not only harmed me, but also damaged the reputation of the campus. You can see for yourself, right, how is this campus so highlighted by netizens because of the slander you spread to gossip accounts?"

With trembling lips, the girl asked, "what's the truth about the subpoena the college gave her?"

"Yes. You can see for yourself the statement made by the campus." Darren nodded.

Taking a deep breath, the girl bowed while shedding tears. "I'm sorry for acting rashly. I was just getting carried away with emotions. I don't mean to create problems for you. Don't report me, Prof. I promise I won't nag Karen and the professor again."

I'm sorry, but that's between you and the university. There was nothing to do with me, especially with Karen. So, please fulfill the second option by doing clarification to recover the good name of the campus! You just have that choice."

"If I clarify, then people will turn back to me, Prof. I can also get out of this college. Please forgive me!" The girl with the glasses is now staring at Darren.

Darren exhaled a heavy breath. "When you spread slander, did you ever think of the risks we might face because of you?" ask Darren for a moment.

The woman seemed to be at a loss for words. "Ta–tapi ...."

"This talk is over, please come out!" Darren pointed his hand at the door.

From the library, Karen headed to the economics faculty preparing to receive her next class. He meets Nadya and Vera who just came out of the rectorate building. The two friends told him that the lecturers had learned that Darren was married. Even the news was immediately sanser among students.

"All students are curious about the same figure who became the wife of Mr. Darren, know not! I think Mr. Darren deliberately has not spill to protect you so that people do not turn out you because of the case of the photo," explained Nadya.

"Uuuhh .. Darren Gentleman sir! With my ngaku already married, he not only muffled the accusations of skewed photos, but declares that he still belongs to someone," continued Vera.

Karen blushed to hear the words of her two best friends. On the other hand, he was also relieved that people did not know about him yet.

Nadya patted Karen on the shoulder as she said, "Udah, don't think about it! Let Mr. Darren take care of everything."

Karen's phone suddenly rang. When viewing the call screen, Chalvin's name is listed as the caller.

"Kar, where are you? Not busy?"

"Again on campus, there's still class."

"About what time?"

"Foolah. I'll pick you up, yeah. Oma tell you to go to the company now" Chalvin said.

Karen's heart suddenly beat. In his heart wondered why Oma Belle had suddenly told him to come to the company. Could it have something to do with the gossip hitting Darren?

***

As agreed, Chalvin picks up Karen and takes her to the Belleria cosmetics company. As it turns out, grandfather and Oma again asked him to be the latest advertising star for the same lipstick product. The latest Belleria lipstick that makes Karen as a Brand Ambassador, seems to be selling in the market and acceptable to the public. Even a number of beauty vloggers gave positive reviews.

"It's not wrong to make Chalvin usulin you become a brand ambassador. Evidently, after the BA model was replaced with you, Belleria lipstick in this series scored the highest sales! You are a hockey carrier!" cetus Oma Belle with a smile. He even pinched his granddaughter's cheeks.

Chalvin, who was leaning against the wall, was happy because Oma Belle looked very affectionate with her cousin's wife.

"Ah, not because of Karen, Oma. This lipstick product is great, really. More durable and waterproof. So, if the product is selling well because the quality of the product is recognized by consumers, not because of Karen who became the model" Karen replied.

"Don't go down to earth!" chalvin said suddenly, "i've seen Karen promote our lipstick on her Instagram, Oma. He also diligently live to review our products. And we didn't ask him to make it to that."

(Down to earth: low)

Chalvin's report further earned Oma Belle respect for Karen.

"You can ask for any gift with Oma. Think of it as a bonus for you," said Oma enthusiastically.

"What is it really, Oma?" Karen rolled her eyes.

Oma Belle nodded with a smile until her eyes narrowed. "Origin not too expensive. Remember, we shouldn't waste money!"

Karen's shoulders slackened instantly. "Hadeh ... say it's a stingy!" batinya.

"My request is not grandiose, Oma. Enough Oma no longer urges me to be with Darren to quickly have children!"

Karen's request successfully eliminated the smile on Oma Belle's face. The old woman's eyes bought sharp, like the expression of the in-laws in the soap opera of doom. Meanwhile, Chalvin could only hold back the laughter while closing his mouth.

"That's a wish request to be dropped from the Bratajaya family list! The name of the offspring must be hastened, not delayed," ketus Oma with neck veins that suddenly appear.

"Ih, Oma said she could ask for anything as a bonus!" Karen pressed her lower lip.

"No! Oma bonus offer pull back! No more bonuses!"

author notes ⁇ ️️

There are some characters that I don't name, yes, like the girl with glasses because her role is not fixed in this novel. So, I think it's better to mention physical traits for roles that aren't fixed or that aren't important, rather than name them. Let's not make you dizzy hafalin character names.

I also learned from the already. There are several characters that appear, but it turns out just passing by. Like Claudia and Chalvin. The role of Chalvin actually only appeared during Darren's birthday celebration. But, like me, Chalvin is still there in place of the guard cast that should be in this novel. I feel freaky, there's a character of Karen's bodyguard.

Actually starting from chapter 31, I have not followed the brainstorming given by the editor. Just take the outline of the story. There are a lot of grooves that I skip and replace with my own groove. You can feel yourself, the more here the story of romance and conflict already Yu Aotian, wkwk.

Btw, this has not been in the storm that I mentioned, yes, so these are still minor conflicts that color the Karen and Darren household, as I said before, the conflict in this novel, made not to dramatize the story or make the reader greget, but to show the problem solving they take.

If you like this novel and don't want to break up in the middle of the road, help me recommend it to people. Don't forget to support likes and comments.
