Louis' thin lips pursed and said, "Violet, I didn't doubt you, I was expecting more of a surprise from you."
The man's eyes are deep, penetrating the darkness of insight.
Violet and he stared at each other for two seconds and unconsciously averted her eyes.
He said he didn't suspect her.
It seems that when she heard his words, the depression in her heart dispersed a little.
He says he expects her to surprise him. Is this a disguised compliment on her intelligence?
Inexplicably, there is a little leap of faith in the heart.
It's the excitement of being recognized.
Gee, why does she feel so unproductive?
"Ahem, Mr. Johnson, I have things to do, so I'll leave you guys alone, I'll go first."
Brooklyn is not a no-eye world, so he meekly withdrew.
Louis and Violet were the only ones left at the table.
Violet's eyes fell on the two children in the playground, listening to the occasional sound of her daughter's laughter, and something flashed through her head.
"Mr. Johnson, is it because I spent time in your office yesterday that I am now the most suspicious?"
Louis' dark eyes narrowed slightly and he didn't say anything.
"Go on."
Violet looked at him and hesitated for a moment, "I would have come to your office yesterday because Assistant Harry asked me to."
What did Harry have her doing in the office for nothing?
Louis' dark eyes were fixed, "You mean, Harry is a suspect?"
Harry's behavior over the past two days has been very counterintuitive.
But how could he have betrayed himself?
He has been with himself for so many years, if even he would betray himself, who else could he trust?
"I'm not sure, I'm just stating the facts."
Violet pursed her lips, thought of one thing and said, "There's something else I haven't told you."
"What is it?"
"I saw him vaguely that day at the Azure Club."
What!
