There was no way Karl would oblige if she asked him to come down to get her. He was always playing games with her. After pacing around outside for ten minutes, she suddenly heard someone calling her name. The voice came from somewhere near the side of the road. She turned around and met Leon along
When Danielle stepped into Karl's office, his expression was dark. “You sure have a lot to talk about with your dear Henry. It’s been more than an hour since I told you to come here. It seems to me that you don’t even care if I starve to death.” Danielle was not remotely upset by this. “How does t
Was he… some sort of clairvoyant? How does he know everything? Karl set the spoon aside. “Don’t you know that there are surveillance cameras in every corner of your college?” Danielle was speechless. “You had someone check the surveillance footage just because of something so trivial?” Karl poked
Karl remained silent while Danielle frantically explained, “He ate something spicy this afternoon. It was not the normal kind of spiciness.” Dave was taken aback by this. “Mr. Burt, thought you couldn’t handle spicy…” “It’s fine, it's not a big deal.” Karl cut his sentence short and turned to the
Even if it was just mindless gossip, there had to be substantial proof to back it up at least. Everyone had collectively taken everything as concrete fact even though the only thing that could serve as proof was a short passage that only functioned as armchair psychology. The comment read, “All fo
At noon, Danielle went to get lunch with Ava. When the two emerged from the office building, a lot of people they passed by were murmuring something behind their backs. Ava cast a concerned look at Danielle. “Let’s not go to the cafeteria and order takeout instead. How does that sound?” Danielle
“Mr. Trey, I’m going to give it to you straight right now. I would never intentionally target a student. I have nothing to do with what happened. If you insist that was the one behind this, then please give me some concrete proof just as Ava said. If you can’t do that, please get out of my sight.”
Danielle's reaction was not that much better. She did consider that someone from her department had to be involved in this matter. Still, seeing the concrete evidence laid out in front of her still left a bad taste in her mouth. Trey stared at the display. “Isn't this Kate from your office?” Dani
Danielle coyly laughed it off. “No, she didn’t! Maybe I’m just overthinking it.” “In that case, don’t stress yourself thinking about it. Besides, Brooklyn was just someone that Justin’s family chose for him after they went through the list of candidates and decided that she offered the best. As lon
“I’m just telling the truth.” Karl smirked before prompting, “Alright, I’ll drop it. What was it that she said to you in the past?” “I don’t feel like talking about it anymore.” “What, is it a secret between the two of you that you won’t share with me?” Danielle shot him a look. In addition to sw
Karl followed Justin’s gaze and looked outside the window similarly, then he remarked faintly, “Do you feel like Harmony has become rather different? She’s not in a very good state of mind right now, and I think she will need a therapist when she gets to Miraco.” Justin stared at Harmony for a brie
Danielle relented, “Harmony, the reason he wants you to go back is not that he’s angry at you or anything like that. He's…” “It’s fine, you don’t have to explain. I have thought about it and have decided that I will believe in and listen to whatever he says from now on. I trust him as much as I tru
Danielle wondered what he wanted to discuss with her. What an elegant way to put it. “Sure, what do you want to talk about?” Karl sat up, “I just spoke to Justin on the phone. He says he’s going to Miraco next month to start a new branch there and that he will be there for a few years. I was hopi
As Danielle turned around, she saw Max at the door. She stopped in her tracks briefly before finally walking over. “Are you guys done already?” Max just smiled at her slightly. “Mr. Burt is a concise person.” Danielle replied, “That’s fair. Thank you for saving Karl today.” “Mr. Burt has already
Hearing Max’s name, Karl deliberated briefly before responding, “Dan, why don’t you help them send Harmony back to her ward? In the meantime, you can have Max come in. I have something to say to him.” Danielle got worried. “What do you have to say to him? Let’s just forget about it.” “Don’t worry,
After receiving the news that Karl had woken up, despite just being discharged from the emergency room, Harmony made a fuss about wanting to go see Karl. Timothy was also worried. He agreed with Harmony’s request and brought her to Karl’s ward via wheelchair. Seeing Karl, Harmony burst out in tear
As Danielle said that, tears started rolling down her cheeks, her shaky hands moving towards the call bell. How could Karl not recognize her? Could he have hit his head when he fell? What could she do? What could she do now that the person she loved no longer recognized her? Before she could pre
