His voice sounded particularly cold. Even the words were squeezed out from between his teeth.
My heart dropped, but | still shook off his hands off and left.
After entering the private room, Mr. Collins was already done eating and was talking to Krayden.
When he sawcoming in, Mr. Collins asked with a smile, "Where did you go for s o long? | don't think you ate
enough. Theo ordered an oatmeal porridge for you and said that you like it. But it's cold now."
| looked at the bowl of oatmeal on the table, then looked at Mr. Collins, saying, "Thank you."
| took my seat and ate the oatmeal. About ten minutes later, Theo cin with Elena.
Mr. Collins said with a smile, "What happened in that short period of tyou went out? You even changed your

Krayden and | looked at them after hearing what he said.
Like what Mr. Collins said, the two were holding hands. Both of them had changed their clothes as well, looking
much more intimate than before.
| knew why they changed their clothes, but others did not.
| thought Theo would explain it but he merely let out a faint smile.
Elena leaned on his shoulders with a coy look on her face. Silence was sweeter than words.
| cast my eyes down and continued eating the oatmeal.
This was pretty good, was it not?
| still had work to do in the afternoon, so Krayden and | returned to the test site after eating.
Krayden had warnedbeforehand that it would be busier in the afternoon due to the lack of manpower. Each

| was arranging the equipment at the test site when Krayden walked in holding a paper box. He said jokingly
when he walked past me, "You're the only woman here, Ms. Lane. No one wants you to do the rough work but
you've never stopped. It must be hard on you."

Theo brought Mr. Collins to the test site. It seemed like he was intending to get Mr. Collins to join the project.
Elena followed beside them and explained certain things to Mr. Collins.

Seeing them walking toward me, | quickly lowered my head and concentrated on doing my work.
| thought they would pass by quickly, but Elena suddenly said, "You must be tired from the walking, Mr. Collins.

Therefore, Elena helped him to the lounge, whereas Theo looked atand suddenly said, "Can you please go to «
the orchard and pick sfruits, Ms. Lane?"
