Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 240 - 238: I Don’t Like Being Called Teacher
Ella Rivers’s makeup was very good, yet even so, it couldn’t hide her inherently discomforting affectation.
Her expression was either an act or not an act.
He could see it clearly.
Trying to maintain a smile, but inside, her emotions were already turbulent. As a result, her smile lacked sweetness, only pretense.
And that one word "teacher," said with such intimacy.
At first hearing, one might think she was calling him her husband.
The two of them hadn’t exchanged even ten words, and yet this intimate tone was too much.
Besides,
She might feel good about herself, with a smile that was aloof yet not without warmth.
But from his point of view, it was the epitome of shamelessness.
While Tiana Thorne was also acting,
Her acting, however, was natural. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
It revealed a coquettish charm that wasn’t displeasing.
If these two were strangers, he would be more willing to accept Tiana Thorne.
Moreover,
Tiana wasn’t a stranger.
In comparison, Ella Rivers turned from an affected woman into a walking piece of trash in front of him, emitting a foul stench.
"Teacher, I..."
"Miss Rivers," Julian Ford smiled, cutting off her mouth that continued to emit the stench.
His smile was gentle, yet carried a chilling coldness that pierced the heart.
Ella Rivers’s heart trembled, wondering exactly where things went wrong.
Even though yesterday she felt that Mr. Two didn’t quite like her, at least they could continue learning together with mutual respect.
But now, she suddenly had a feeling.
He hated her.
One could say he had no good feelings at all.
Suddenly, she panicked inside: "I..."
Julian Ford’s eyes still carried a wicked charm, but his hoarse and cold voice was somewhat harsh: "I don’t like others calling me ’teacher,’ because there’s an old saying, ’Once a teacher, always a father,’ and I don’t think I’m old enough to be your father."
Not everyone had dispersed, a few heard it, and there was a burst of laughter.
Immediately, it drew several puzzled glances.
Julian Ford really hoped Ella Rivers would show some turnaround, at least not let him feel so irked due to a mistaken acquaintance.
After all, if this sentence was said to his little sister, she would certainly respond with something amusing and intriguing.
Of course, Ella Rivers was only Ella Rivers; she could never compare to his little sister.
Her face suddenly turned red, biting her lip in embarrassment: "Sorry, Mr. Two, I, I didn’t mean it."
Julian Ford just felt increasingly irritated.
By now, more people were gathering.
Ella Rivers was flustered.
She thought she had experienced a lot, but before the imposing presence of Mr. Two, she felt nothing but trembling and fear, her mind a complete blank.
Julian Ford spoke harshly again: "Besides, I haven’t taught you yet. Don’t you think being too close isn’t good for either of us?"
Ella Rivers felt utterly humiliated, nearly on the verge of tears, her eyes red holding back the tears.
Julian Ford looked at her in this state, feeling annoyed.
He didn’t find her pitiful at all.
If not for Ricky Miller meddling, this woman wouldn’t even have the qualification to speak with him.
Him reprimanding her a couple of sentences should be her honor.
Of course, he would still keep her around, as his little sister must have her reasons for keeping her to this day with such high level skills.
He naturally couldn’t spoil his sister’s good plans.
Moreover, keeping Ella Rivers’s face around for his sister to strike would properly express his apology for mistaking her, wouldn’t it?
Thinking of this, the aura that alienated others gradually receded a bit.
