Boom!
The apartment door was closed.
I stood there, staring at the closed door, feeling extremely agitated.
What did he mean by that last sentence? Aaron made a deal with him?
The complex, haunted look that David got every time he saw Aaron kept coming back to me. He was sure that there had been a bad past between the two of them.
Maybe Aaron was gay in the past?
That Lukita could be a man, and David, who had met Aaron early, had fallen in love with Aaron at that moment. According to his twisted heart, he had probably separated Lukita and Aaron!
No, it wasn’t just that.
By this time, my detective radar was fully operational.
Keep thinking about Aaron’s attitude toward David. Judging from those details, I came to the conclusion that simply breaking up with him and Lukita wasn’t enough for her to have that special attitude towards David.
Adding to the anger, Aaron looked at David with more disgust.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to me. Was there a chance that David had not only driven Aaron and Lukita apart, but even lured Lukita into falling for him with the perfect illusion of her?
As for what would happen to someone after falling in love with David, Nick had vividly presented it to me.
That Lukita… was he still alive?
I dared not think about it anymore.
“Anyway, it’s a loss on your part, but I’ll get it all back from Aaron’s side.” David’s words kept playing in my mind.
“Are you OK?” Nick’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
I recovered and looked at him, “I’m fine. What’s happening?”
Nick looked at me with complicated eyes, “If you’re worried, you might as well go see Aaron.”
“That? No, I’m not worried. He is the second son of the Morris Group. How could he be controlled by a mere teacher?”
To show that I didn’t care, I immediately braced myself and said, “Come on, today is Christmas Eve, and it’s also the day of your rebirth. On such an important day, we must have a big meal and then have a good drink!”
“No,” Nick said, damping my enthusiasm, “I want to spend Christmas with you, but…oh, sorry, I’m afraid I have to go to the lab tonight for work.”
“Are you in such a hurry?” She couldn’t believe it, “Please, today is Christmas Eve and tomorrow is Christmas. Do you plan to spend the two most important days alone in the laboratory? Don’t tell me you’re going to the lab to secretly cry because you don’t want me to worry?”
“You are thinking too much.” Nick was speechless.
He walked into the study, pulled out his laptop, and waved me over.
“You saw it?” He opened a file and pointed to the schedule, “This is the overall progress of the current team, and this is my progress…”
Pointing it out, Nick covered his face with his hands, unable to look at him again, before he could react.
I was stunned at the horrible delay and finally decided that Nick wasn’t trying to trick me.
“With all due respect,” I swallowed, “Even when I broke up three years ago, my progress was not far behind.”
Now she could understand why she had broken down after hearing that notification from Dr. Noah.
If he couldn’t make up for the progress that was delayed over this vacation, he would probably resign out of embarrassment, even if Dr. Noah didn’t fire him after the vacation.
“I’m sorry.” Nick clasped his hands together, unable to raise his head in embarrassment.
“Don’t ever tell me this.” I patted him on the shoulder, “In this case, let’s celebrate quickly, and then you can go to your lab and I’ll go back to my hotel.”
Nick took out the glasses and the champagne without saying a word.
