When The Mistress Awakened

Synopsis

The grad school spot I'd fought for all year was stolen by someone else. When I found out that, I was getting up from Lucas Carter's bed. I stared at the notification, my heart sinking when I saw my guaranteed grad school application had been revoked. Then I glanced over at Lucas, who sprawled across the sheets, a self-satisfied grin on his face. "Did you withdraw my grad school application?" I asked. Lucas didn't even bother opening his eyes. He just drawled lazily, "Yeah. Next competition, I'll bring you with me. Trust me, you'll skip straight to a PhD." I froze and then shoved his hand away. He finally opened his eyes, irritation flickering across his face. "Janet, are you picking a fight with me? Do you want that spot or your biggest supporter? I thought you knew how to weigh your options," he said, his tone cold and dismissive.
