Zeke snarled. This was the angry student that Ivy knew from the bar, finally showing his true colors. And this time, Dr.Moorehead was here to witness it.
“Give me the phone!”
Someone took the phone, but it wasn’t Zeke. Dr.Moorehead snatched it from Ivy’s hand and moved around the front of his desk, putting himself between Zeke and Ivy. Zeke didn’t back down. Reached for the phone again.
“Mr.Godfrey!”
Ivy cowered, thinking that Zeke was actually going to hit the department head.
“Give me the phone!” Zeke screamed. He grabbed Moorehead’s wrist. “Give me—”
The door flew open and two Princeton security guards stormed in. One of them wrapped an arm around Zeke’s waist and pulled him back.
“Do you know what my father will do to you?! Do you have any idea—”
“Get him out of here!” Dr.Moorehead shouted.
It took both of the guards to remove Zeke from the office.
“Escort him off campus! If he even steps back on Princeton property, arrest him!”
“My dad—”
“Quiet, kid,” one of the guards warned. They dragged Zeke down the hall, past a terrified-looking secretary.
“Dr.Moorehead, are you okay? I heard shouting, so I called security even before you—”
“I’m fine.” He rubbed his wrist where Zeke had grabbed him. “Thank you, Samantha.”
“Are you sure—”
“I’m fine. Put in a report with security. I’m serious; if Zeke Godfrey is seen on campus by anyone, call Princeton PD.”
“Okay.”
Samantha, still reeling, went back to her desk and picked up the phone.
“I told you he was unhinged.” Ivy was sweating. “You should call the cops now. He grabbed you and he—”
“Zeke is just angry. And I’ll be fine.”
Ivy felt her upper lip curl.
“He’s a psycho. You need to call the cops.”
“Let me deal with Mr.Godfrey.”
“Stop calling him Mr.Godfrey! His name is Zeke. I told you about the cheating and you did nothing. Now he’s assaulted a student and you!”
“Dr.Reeves—”
Ivy knew that she should stop now. Couldn’t do it.
“It’s because his father donates money to the school, isn’t it? If it were any other student who didanyof this shit, you’d get his ass hauled out of here in cuffs. Get him thrown in a cell, right?”
“Dr.Reeves, that’s enough. You’re suspended pending a full investigation.”
She’d gone too far. Still couldn’t reel herself in, though.
