Two days had passed since that unforgettable night at the club, yet the memory of Audrey's enchanting presence continued to tug at Bada's thoughts. She longed to see her again, to witness the magic that had captivated her soul. However, she knew that for now, her profession had to take priority. She had to put her desires on hold.

As much as she wanted to visit the club again to see if she could catch another glimpse of Audrey, Bada recognized that her responsibilities as a professor at the university were her top priority. The first day of a new school year had arrived, and she was determined to make it a successful start.

I began the class by introducing myself.

"Good morning, everyone! I will be your professor for this course throughout the semester. By the way, I am Bada Serene Lee, but I prefer you to call me Professor Lee," I introduced myself, projecting my voice to ensure everyone could hear.
