Chapter 1382 Chapter 1382: She wondered why Coulson hadn't approached her when the troubles began. Before departing, she had told her students that they could always cto her for help. She would have offered assistance if Coulson had just asked.
"Just a few days after Mr. Green returned to the country, I tried to open my heart to you and share everything," Coulson said, looking up with a mocking smile.
"At that time, you were overwhelmed with your own issues and couldn't even spare a moment to see me. Eventually, I felt too embarrassed and decided to let it go." As Coulson spoke, he lowered his gaze.
"You have your own life and relationships, and ours is merely that of a teacher and student." Harlee vaguely remembered that day being hectic, not because of Rhys, but due to urgent matters with the Shadow Moon Society, which had forced her to postpone her meeting with Coulson until the next afternoon.

Harlee met his gaze, and after a lengthy silence, she responded with a quiet smile, “And then?" Was it her fault for writing the recommendation letter that helped him get into the National Aerospace Agency? Or did she bear responsibility for rescheduling their meeting, causing him to miss his opportunity to open up? When Coulson heard her casual words, a mix of emotions began to stir within him.

"I thought I had matured, that I could bravely overcit. But the more tI spent at the National Aerospace Agency, the more useless I felt, and I've even started to hate my childhood dreams!"

Now, his eyes were red with bitterness.
"You know, Sebrina also made it into the National Aerospace Agency. She earned her place through sheer effort, quickly proved her worth, and everyone there adored her from the start." Harlee showed no emotion when she heard that. Sebrina had immediately messaged her upon getting accepted to the National Aerospace Agency. Given the numerous questions Sebrina had posed to her over the years, Sebrina's success had been no surprise.
"And then?" she asked softly.
"Sebrina once made a public confession during her incredible success that she was inspired by me. Ha-ha! Can you believe someone as gifted as her could actually like me? It's quite the joke, right?" His laughter carried a slightly manic edge.

"Do you despisefor this reason?" Harlee asked gently, coaxing Coulson to sit beside her on the bench. The edge of the rooftop was dangerously low, and she feared he might impulsively put himself in harm's way.
"So, this is your impression of me?" Coulson asked, his voice laced with Irony as he twisted motorolaced his mouth.
Abruptly, he seized his hair in distress.
"Do you believe I'd seek revenge? Maybe even conspire with your m enemies to target you, all because of that recommendation letter that landedan internship at the National Aerospace Agency?" "Coulson, I've seen the security tapes," Harlee said with a sigh, locking eyes with him earnestly, her grip on his hand firm.
A flicker of surprise crossed Coulson's face when he heard this, quickly replaced by a self-mocking smile.
"I see. So, you respond to my calls because you think I'm colluding with Nola, right?"
