Chapter 776:
Before finishing, she assigned a large amount of basic homework to the three hundred students, announcing that in her next lecture, she would randomly select a few lucky students to answer questions. Those who answered them all correctly would be rewarded with an early internship at the National Aerospace Agency, where they would work directly under her guidance.
As Rhysâ black Rolls-Royce Phantom glided into the Baythorn University parking lot, Harlee was stepping out of the auditorium. The moment she spotted Rhysâ car, she walked over and opened the door before sending a quick message to Robbie, asking him to drive her car back.
Rhys turned to assist Harlee with her seatbelt, his fingers brushing against her hands in a comforting gesture.
âI know youâre cold. Let me warm your hands.â
Harlee lifted her gaze, a playful smile curling on her lips as she pulled her hands from Rhysâ and mischievously slid them over his well-defined abs.
âI like this better. Itâs both enjoyable and fun.â
A low groan escaped Rhysâ lips as a strange, irresistible sensation swept through him.
Satisfied with the playful exchange, Harlee picked up the drink Rhys had prepared for her. She smiled and teased, âDrive on, my personal driver.â
Rhys couldnât look away.
Her eyes, dark as the night, captivated him like nothing else.
At that moment, they were the only thing that seemed to matter.
A faint smile curled at the corners of his lips, his voice smooth with charm.
âAlright, honey.â

Harlee paused for a moment, her gaze inexplicably drawn to the motion of Rhysâ Adamâs apple as it moved up and down with each breath. She couldnât help but swallow.
In those moments when Rhys was effortlessly alluring, Harlee found herself defenseless. The only thought that filled her mind was the desire to possess him.
Rhys caught the subtle movement in her throat, a smug smile spreading across his face.
He leaned in closer, ready to make his move, when suddenly, his phone rang. With little to discuss with Belinda, Rhys pressed the answer button, activating the speakerphone at the same time.
âRhys, I heard you are living with Harlee. Oh my, is it true? If so, Iâll need to start planning your engagement party.â
Rhys called out with mild exasperation, âMom,â but before he could continue, Skylaâs voice interrupted his thoughts.
âAn engagement party? Jade, didnât you say today was just about easing the tension between us? How did we get from that to planning an engagement party? Let me set the record straight. Lonnie and I arenât planning to marry Harlee off anytime soon!â
Rhys and Harlee exchanged a knowing glance. They continued to listen as the heated argument on the other end of the line raged on.
Gradually, Belindaâs eloquence overpowered Skyla.
âSo, itâs settled. We will pick a day to visit the Sanderson family and formally discuss the marriage of our children.â Then, as if suddenly remembering Rhys was still on the call, Belindaâs voice brightened.
âRhys, did you catch all that? Start preparing for the wedding! Once we choose a date, we will meet the Sanderson family to finalize the details.â
