After three knocks, Samara paused and waited, but nobody answered.
'Is the professor really gone?' Drai worriedly asked himself. He turned his head and surveyed his surroundings, but everything looked normal just like Paul said.
'I hope he's just asleep or working in his lab...' Drai thought as he turned to the front doors once more.
After waiting for half a minute, Samara tried knocking again, a bit louder this time around.
"Professor Ravi! It's me, Samara!" she loudly announced before pausing once more.
While she was waiting for a response, Samara noticed that Paul looked a bit anxious.
'Does Paul really hold Ravi in such high regard? I thought he was just acting earlier. He really should mingle more. After being here for so long, how could he not know that Ravi is quite notorious among the staff?'
Although Paul was a friendly guy, Samara wasn't really close to him. This was partially due to the minor gap between theoretical and practical lecturers who had their own circles.
