Deacon wrapped his hands almost instantly around her slender waist.
Oriana pressed her face into his embrace and rubbed her face like a kitten.
“Mr. Armstead, why did hang up on me just now? Are you afraid that I’ll comfort you?” They had both come to know each other.
And it was rare for Deacon to be seen in a pitiful situation.
“I’ve already forgotten what I said, so should you.” Oriana nodded obediently.
” Okay, it’s okay if you chose to forget it.
But never forget what I’ll say to you now.
I don’t want to comfort you.”
“Okay?” Deacon furrowed his brows.
“From today onwards, I’ll always protect you.”
Deacon spanked her waist with his right hand.
” Protect me? You?”
“Mr. Armstead, don’t underestimate me.
They are three people, but there are also three of us, grandma, you and I.
I’m not afraid of the medical geniuses, if they dare to bully you, I’ll definitely protect you.”
Deacon pulled Oriana into his arms and hugged her passionately.
He knew in his heart that he was bound to always remember this night.
Although Oriana was still very young, she had just promised to always protect him.
Deacon smiled tenderly and whispered in her left ear.
“Okay.” Oriana felt that he was hugging her too hard.
She pulled her self backwards and stood on tiptoe, then she kissed his handsome check.
Deacon’s reciprocated the gesture and kissed her hair.
Oriana’s stomach growled and she remembered the noodles that she had borrowed.
Deacon left her and open the passenger’s door and took out a bag.
“The chef made you some tacos, cobb salad and pastrami sandwich.
Eat it now.” Oriana was delighted as she perceive the delicious aroma.
This is for you.” Deacon handed her about plastic bag.
Oriana collected the bag and stared at it content.
There were all types of dessert, chocolates, cake, juice, and candy.
Oriana took out the orange juice and opened it, she took a sip and shut her eyes as she devoured the delicious taste.
As she drank, there was a little stain on her lips.
“Mr. Armstead, do you want some? It’s delicious.”
“Wipe your lips.” Deacon pointed to the corner of her lips where the stain was.
Oriana stretched out her tongue and kicked the stain.
She turned to him and asked, “Is it gone?” Deacon chuckled.
He reached out and grabbed the back of her neck.
He lowered his head and kissed her lips.
He took his lips away from her lips and whispered seductively into her ear, “I feel like kissing you over and over again, the juice in your mouth is really sweet.” His hands trailed her ass, he grabbed it firmly, as he kissed her fiercely.
The next two days were still hectic for Oriana, as Greg had still made her clean the institute.
Today was the day for director Hudson’s evaluation.
Hudson showed his seriousness by turning up very early to the pharmacy.
Hudson had searched around with his eyes but couldn’t find Oriana.
His expression changed drastically to a very serious one.
“Divine, where’s Oriana? Doesn’t she know what day it is? I’m here but she isn’t.
Does she really value her stay here?”
Divine was so frightened that her palm had began sweating.
“I haven’t seen Oriana today.” Greg glared at Divine.
He sneered angrily, “Divine, why are you lying? Why not tell where Oriana had gone.”
“Director Hudson, i think that Oriana was afraid so she had ran away.” One of the researcher’s mumbled.
“True, Oriana realized that she can not pass the test, so she took the noble way out.”
Another researcher added, and the entire crowd had bursted into a loud laughter.
Pamela was also present.
As the Ivory Council’s new treasure, she stood in front of the crowd.
Pamela walked over to Hudson’s side and said with a frown.
“Director Hudson, I think Oriana is just nervous.
But if she doesn’t turn up, it’s still fine.
We don’t need to make things difficult for her.” Greg quickly chipped in, ” Pamela, you’re always so kind to others, but Oriana doesn’t appreciate your kindness one bit.
The Ivory Council is a reputable institute, if Oriana ran away, she’ll be sanctioned.
She’ll be blacklisted here.” The consequences of Oriana running away was bound to be severe, so Pamela prayed in her heart that Oriana had really left the institute..
With an adorable reputation to protect, Pamela quickly faked a panicking expression.
“Director Hudson, is it really that serious? I think Oriana is just being naughty for a little while…”
Before Pamela could complete her words, a clear and sullen voice sounded, “Who’s arguing early this morning? Don’t disturb my sleep.” Everyone was shocked.
The voice was without a doubt identified as Oriana’s.
Divine hurriedly moved forward, as she trail the direction of the sound.
She reached out and opened the curtains.
At slender figure was lying on the bench.
It was Oriana.
“Gosh, so she didn’t run?” A rustling voice muttered.
“What the hell is she doing?” Another added.
Oriana was really asleep.
She turned comfortably and continued sleeping.
“Oriana, wake up.” Divine tapped her tenderly on the shoulder.
After some seconds of her still not waking, two researchers moved forward and tapped Oriana vigorously.
“Oriana! Wake up! Director Hudson is here!” Oriana fluttered open her eyes, she heard Hudson’s unbearable reprimanding voice.
“Oriana, you’re still sleeping at this time? Have you forgotten what today is?”
The drowsiness in Oriana’s eyes had disappeared.
She stood up quickly and stared at Hudson like a little child who had committed an offence.
“Director Hudson, I’m so sorry.
I hadn’t had enough time to sleep…”
“Enough!” Hudson interrupted her, “Oriana, i don’t want to waste another time on you anymore.
I’ll start the evaluation now.”
“Okay sir.” Oriana nodded as her eyes were glued to him.
Divine turned and glanced at Oriana, her heart pounded faster as she prayed for her.
Hudson sat on a seat close to Oriana.
He began, “Oriana Hendrix, which cabinet is echinacea in?” Although everyone was afraid of Hudson Donald, his efficiency at his work, was admirable.
Today, no one expected a twist of event, for they all knew that it was an impossibility for anyone to be able to memorize twelve thousand name in just three days.
Oriana was bound to lose.
Hudson had asked what number of cabinet that echinacea was in.
The entire students had watched quitely, awaiting Oriana’s embarrassment.
Oriana slowly muttered, “Echinacea the herbal medicinal substance is in the cabinet number 63.”
Divine swiftly ran to open the medicine cabinet number sixty three, she shut her eyes and prayed that it should be indeed echinacea’s cabinet.
Immediately after opening the cabinet, Divine jumped up happily.
“Director Hudson, echinacea is indeed in the medical cabinet number 63.” Everyone gasped, Oriana had actually answered correctly.
Hudson was also slightly surprised.
He did not expect her to be correct.
Without wasting another second, he fired the next question,” What’s in cabinet number 304?” Oriana replied courteously.” The cabinet number three hundred and four, contains valerian.
Lots of researchers had now seem interested, they quickly ran over and opened the cabinet number three hundred and four.
“Director Hudson, it’s valerian.
Oriana is right again.” They chorused.
Everyone stared at Oriana in awe.
“Which cabinet are sage, calendula and oregano in?” Hudson had queried again.
“Sage, calendula and oregano are in cabinet, seventy four(74), nine thousand and nine(9004), and seven hundred and fifty (750), respectively.”
They students who stood by the cabinets, quickly checked through them, a cheerful clap sounded, “Oriana’s right, Oriana you’re amazing!” The students now cheered happily at Oriana.
Pamela clenched her fists subconsciously and looked at Greg who stood.
beside her.
Greg stepped forward he chased Divine away.
“Divine, you and Oriana are friends.
Maybe you’re helping her to cheat.” Hudson asked again, “What’s in cabinet, 673, 444 and 6901?” Oriana smiled and looked at Greg she raised her chin and said.
“In cabinet 673, 444, and
6901 are goldenseal, basil and potassium.”
Greg opened cabinet 673, it was goldenseal, he opened 444 again, it was basil.
He suddenly felt dizzy and couldn’t open the last cabinet.
At first he thought that Oriana was only being lucky, but now that he realized that she wasn’t, he was shocked.
Since he was there, he had to open the third cabinet.
He turned on cabinet six thousand and one, the quantity of potassium in there was a little too much, the potassium fell to the floor, and scattered right before his feet.
He let out a sneeze and collapsed to the ground.
Oriana looked at Greg coldly.
“Team leader Greg, do you still suspect that Divine and I colluded to cheat? In the cabinet 7502 above your head, is sodium, and in cabinet 30 southeast of director is magnesium, there’s chromium in cabinet 99.” Greg still hoped with the last of his strength that Oriana would fumble, he stood up and went to crosscheck her answers.
And yet again, she was correct.
Everyone stared at Oriana as though she was a god.
Although it was unbelievable, they had no other choice but to admit that Oriana really did memorize twelve thousand medicinal substances in just three days.
