Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 189

While heading out for lunch in the afternoon, Wendy and Linda 

walked past a few students outside the office building. She could hear them whispering behind her back. 

Linda turned to look at her in concern. "What say we don't go to the cafeteria anymore? How does takeout in the office sound?" she suggested.

Wendy pursed her lips in reply. "I'm fine, Linda. I didn't do anything wrong." she said firmly.

"But don't you feel annoyed? It feels like I'm being tailed by a pesky fly," Linda said.

"It's fine, it's just lunch. Plus, people would deem me even more suspicious if I hid in the shadows," Wendy said while remaining a calm demeanor.

Linda fell silent after seeing how insistent she was.

The restaurant was originally bustling with life, but after Wendy showed up, many heads turned around to stare at her with judgmental eyes.

She thought the saying, 'good news stays hidden, while bad news always spreads far and wide' couldn't be more true now. 

She queued up to get her food as usual, but before she could dig in, she noticed a counselor from the English Department walking up to her.

While standing at the table's edge, the man stared at her with a stern look on his face. "Miss Evans, Jason Bell here. Do you mind if I talk to you about the matter regarding Avril?" he asked.
