Chapter 42


    After dinner, Dous mentioned that he needed to pick up some materials from the teacher''s room, so we parted ways with Bruce and Cindy.


    As we walked along Nicox University, I suddenly felt that the ces I used to avoid didn''t seem so scary anymore.


    What caught me off guard was that Dous didn''t take me to the teacher''s room. Instead, he apanied me to the school’s back gate.


    I thanked him, “Thanks for your help, ss representative.”


    "Not a problem,” Dous replied bluntly. "Did you really like the pork chop?”Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    I nodded. "Although it was a bit spicy, it was quite satisfying."


    I never used to eat that kind of stuff.


    Dous'' lips curled into a smile and his eyes shone. "See, Nancy? You can get a different experience if you change your taste."


    Thanks to him, I discovered the deliciousness of pork chop.


    The next day at work, I immediately suggested to Caroline to try this delicacy.


    Caroline frowned and whined, “Pigs are so cute. How can you eat them?"


    As soon as she said that, Cindy came over with herptop. "Nancy, I wrote a small piece of codest night, but I couldn''t get it to work during the


    testing. Can you help me take a look at it?”


    I nodded and took theptop from her.


    It was a simple game code, amon example found in books. After a nce, I pointed out where the problem was.


    Cindy gasped with admiration and ran the code in front of me. But she didn''t immediately take herptop back after that.


    I casually nced at it and immediately saw the intimate photo on the screensaver. It was Bruce and Cindy.

    “Nance.” Cindy nced at me and smiled. "You agree that this is a good photo, right?”


    Cindy''s unting was tant, and it even carried a hint of provocation.


    After carefully looking at the photo, I noticed that the location where the two were photographed was at Nicox University.


    It was obvious that the two tock another stroll around after we separated yesterday.


    He was so open about it. It was

    I didn''t even dare to take a photo of us together.


    Cindy was right to show off to me.


    “You''re a good match," I said faintly, "But it would be better with a filter on.”


    "Is... Is that so?" Cindy stuttered and forced a smile. "I''ll try that next time.”


    With that, she left with herptop.


    In the afternoon, I received a sudden call from Kate. "Nance, I have a party this weekend. Can you help me pick out two dresses?”


    I knew Kate''s preferences well. Her


    biggest t hobby was shopping, and~


    over the: years, I had frequentedt the

    at her beck and call wouldn''tbe an


    exaggeration.

    But things were different now. I denied tactfully, "I still have some unfinished work left. You can ask Ms. Lane instead.”


    It was only right if Kate went with her daughter-inw instead


    "I don''t want her." Kate was never one to beat around the bush. "My head hurts when I see her fumbling around.”


    I was still struggling to find the right words when Kate continued with herment, "Nance, tell me the truth. Do you find me annoying?"
