Audrey thought, 'Damn! Harold was going to find out.'
She calmly explained, "Didn't I go to your classroom today? I heard from your classmates that you went to the
Student Union. I thought that you must have entered the Student Union!"
Audrey's reaction and explanation did not seem to be a lie.
"Is that true?"
"Of course! What do you mean by this? Do you suspect that I did something?"
Harold thought about it carefully. He had entered the Student Union because the president of the Student Union
had come to him personally. The president said that he supported Harold to set up the Research Department in the
school and let Harold be the director.
Because Harold had his academic tasks and was busy with the research institute, Harold rejected the president's
request, saying that he couldn't spare any effort to run the Research Department.
However, the president was very patient. Almost every time after class, he would wait for Harold outside Harold's
classroom. He tried his best to persuade Harold. In the end, even Harold's mentor suggested that Harold could set
up a Research Department.
What was more, they had said Harold could arrange his time freely after school. Therefore, it would not affect his
studies and the research institute.
Harold reluctantly agreed to their invitation.
However, after he went to the Research Department, he had a classmate who became his assistant. Then the
Research Department began to recruit people. As a result, the first person who was approved to join the
department was Winnie.
Harold once suspected that someone was behind all this. Otherwise, how could he have set up the Research
Department so quickly? Also... Winnie was recruited.
Although he had long known that Winnie was from the Student Union, he always felt that something was wrong.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as the Research Department was established, Audrey and Bryson suddenly came to the school to look for him.
Also, he sensed from Audrey's words that she had already known. All of these made Harold suspicious.
Thus, Harold narrowed his eyes and looked at Audrey.
"Audrey, can I ask you something?"
"Ask away."
"Audrey, did you already know that I would be in charge of the Research Department?"
Audrey blinked her eyes and looked at Harold innocently. "Research Department? Did you just say Research
Department? I don't think I have heard of this department before!"
Harold said, "It didn't exist in the past, but after I came, there was one. They said that they could..."
Before he finished his words, Harold felt that his focus had been led away by Audrey.
Halfway through, Harold paused.
"Audrey, the school tried to persuade me to set up the Research Department. Was it you behind all this?" Harold
asked directly.
Audrey was startled. Harold had actually figured this out in an instant!
Luckily, Audrey was a lawyer and had always been psychologically strong. She always disguised well. No one would
be able to see her true emotions on her face.
"Quentin, you wronged me. I'm not that capable. Besides, I don't know anything about school. Why would I ask
someone to do this?"
Harold shifted his gaze towards Bryson.
"You're not that capable, but Bryson is."
Bryson looked at Harold calmly.
"I did not interfere in this matter."
Harold was speechless.
If Audrey were the only one claiming that she didn't do this, Harold wouldn't have believed it. However, Harold
believed every word that came from Bryson's mouth. If Bryson said that he hadn't interfered, then he definitely
hadn't. Harold believed in Bryson the most.
Harold revealed an awkward smile.
"Maybe I was thinking too much."
Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she managed to cover it. At this time, the waiter came up to serve the dishes. Therefore, Harold
stopped asking further.
However, during the meal, Audrey brought up the past again.
"By the way, Quentin, there's something I wanted to ask you. The girl you saved in KTV last time, what was her
name? Winnie, right?"
Harold was eating calmly and he casually asked back, "Why did you mention her suddenly?"
"Just curious. Did she come to find you these days?"
Harold was stunned.
Audrey was really remarkable.
"She is in my department right now."
Audrey revealed a surprised expression.
"Are you serious? She is in your department? What a coincidence."
"Right. What a coincidence."
"Then you two..." Audrey smiled and asked, "Where are you two at now?"
Harold looked at Audrey speechlessly. "Audrey, what are you talking about? We are classmates. And we are only
the head and the assistant in the department."
"You two are working under the same roof. Day by day..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Audrey was talking, Bryson suddenly kicked her foot, interrupting her.
Audrey frowned as she glared at Bryson. Bryson placed a piece of fish that had been sliced into pieces into her
bowl.
"The fish here is pretty good."
Audrey was confused.
She was talking. Why did Bryson suddenly start to talk about the fish?
Audrey shifted her gaze from the fish to Harold. However, Bryson suddenly kicked her again.
If the first kick was an accident, then this one was completely intentional.
Audrey's eyes were burning as she looked at Bryson beside her.
Bryson turned his face to the side and whispered into Audrey's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear,
"If you keep talking, he will know. Moreover, the Research Department was just established yesterday. It has only
been two days, and you are too anxious. This will backfire, and haste makes waste! You are a lawyer, and it is basic
to know people's thoughts by observing their expressions first. Have you forgotten?"
After Bryson's reminder, Audrey finally recalled the purpose of her visit, and she agreed. She was being too
anxious.
Audrey gave Bryson a look of understanding.
The two of them looked at each other and provoked Harold who was sitting opposite them.
Harold knew it would be like this. As long as Audrey and Bryson were together, they would show affection in public.
Moreover, they were getting more and more inconsiderate each time. Was that really appropriate? Harold was still
single!
However, Audrey and Bryson would not stop showing their affection just because of Harold's resentful gaze. They
acted as if Harold did not exist.
Harold ate while suffering. He thought that if they ever came to school to see him again, he would never eat with
them. No way!
It was too tormenting.
