However, today she wasn’t angry; she was looking forward to lunchtime.
At noon, Russell called to tell her the results were in and had been emailed to her.
“Thank you, Russ!” Aveline said excitedly.
Russell replied slowly, “Knowing which vegetables are poisoned doesn’t prove your innocence.”
Aveline paused. “I think these vegetables were bought at the supermarket. There might have been an issue there. I need to check the surveillance footage.”
Russell said, “It’s been so many days; it might be difficult.”
Aveline’s lips tightened. She knew that if she had checked on the day it happened, it might have been easier. But she had to try.
Russell spoke casually, “Of course, if you cook ten more meals for me, I might be able to figure something out.”
Aveline couldn’t help but laugh. “Russ, don’t you have a chef at home?”
Russell replied, “Just say if you’ll do it or not.”
“Deal,” Aveline agreed without hesitation. Cooking one meal or ten meals made no difference to her. Plus, it was an easy
task.

She felt even more grateful to Russell, as he had chosen a way that minimized her burden.
“Alright, wait for my news,” Russell said, then hur. up.
Aveline exhaled deeply and opened her email to check. She found that the poisoned vegetables were the ones she had added to her cart later.
She carefully recalled the details of that day. She remembered bumping into someone after picking up the vegetables, causing them to fall to the ground. That person helped her pick them up.
Could something have happened during that time? Aveline tried to remember the person’s face, but she couldn’t.
Rubbing her temples, her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the police station. The food test results were out, and they wanted her to come in.
