How to train your rival - Part 2

Within ten minutes Stephen had sent me a message.   What the hell?   You drag me into this mess and then run off?   When are you available to meet and discuss our presentation? I smiled.   He’s such a brat.   I replied.   I can catch up at 4pm.   Should we meet in one of the study rooms? His response was instant.   I’ve booked room 3.   See you at 4. I spent the next couple of hours planning ways to torture him with glee.   This of course in no way prepared me to find him talking to a girl when I arrived.   I was momentarily taken aback.   He didn’t shy away.   He wasn’t blushing.   He was talking confidently.   He even smiled in a charming way.   The whole thing irked me.
