Olive Point of View:
To be honest, he didn’t have much confidence in Charlotte’s discretion.
The next day, as I stood in front of the lab door, I felt a sense of unease, unwilling to face the reality of being scrutinized by everyone with strange looks.
“Why are you standing at the door like that again? Lester’s voice came from behind me again.
I was puzzled. _
“Nothing, it’s just…I’ve been here a long time recently and I don’t want to go to work.”
Lester burst out laughing. “I totally get it. To be honest, every morning when I open my eyes, I don’t feel like going to work.” _
The two of us entered the lab naturally. _ _ _
” Tomorrow ” .
” Good morning ” .
Colleagues greeted us one after another.
I quickly exchanged glances with them and realized that he seemed to be thinking too much. They all looked at me the same
I walk as usual.
“Did you know that a moment ago Dr. Woods was in a daze at the lab door because she didn’t want to go to work? Lester shared my embarrassing moment, drawing laughter and sympathetic comments from everyone.
I sighed with relief. _
Charlotte probably didn’t tell him, and he could still trust her.
When I got to the work station, Charlotte handed me a cup of coffee and I was a little nervous again.
“Thank you,” I said, sipping my coffee and peeking at her. _ _ _ _
I could tell he was indulging me, but there was no sign of probing or curiosity. Everything seemed normal .
Could it be that he was thinking too much?
But that’s certainly a good thing for me.
I wish I was an invisible person in the office and no one would notice me. _ _ _ However , just as I was beginning to relax , something happened during lunch that made me feel restless again .
Charlotte came with us to the cafeteria for lunch.
Most of us in this group had families and children, so conversations often revolved around children.
Chloe mentioned that she enrolled her daughter in daycare,
and the mothers began to share advice.
“Just remember to remind teachers not to reveal your family situation. Dr. Li recently mentioned that his daughter faced discrimination in kindergarten… oops! ”
Charlotte’s face changed, and she quickly covered her mouth.
“Did your daughter face discrimination? They all looked surprised.
Charlotte wore a remorseful expression and looked around anxiously. She then lowered her voice and said, “I’m sorry, I forgot that Dr. Li didn’t want anyone to discuss this. He just pretends you didn’t hear anything.”
heh _ I had every reason to believe that one day, during a conversation with another person, Charlotte
inadvertently revealing my secret when certain topics came up, just like he did now! _
The sandwich in my hand suddenly lost its flavor.
So, each day that followed, I came to TWH with a restless heart. _
However , Charlotte ‘s overly calm expression triggered many other thoughts in my mind .
I wondered, was she good at dressing up? _no_ Then the question arose: the seemingly open expression of hers when she looked at me, even when someone mentioned the new president and assistant, she didn’t even look in my direction. _ Could she achieve such a disguise?
“Could it be that she didn’t hear it at all? “This hopeful thought began to grow stronger within me over time.
I leaned more and more to ask Charlotte, but I also realized how awkward that would be.
Regardless of whether he knew or not, it would be awkward to ask him if he remembered hearing the conversation between Aaron and me!
