Chapter 251: Invitation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Julie didn’t know why Andy was so against Caroline, but her intuition told her that Caroline wasn’t the person she was rumored to be. On the contrary, she was a very kind person.
Therefore, Julie did not want to see Caroline alone every time she came to school. She also did not want to be misunderstood and spread all kinds of inexplicable rumors.
Taking into account Andy’s mood, Julie decided not to tell her about this matter for now. She wanted to wait until Caroline had resolved the misunderstanding before thinking about bringing the two of them together. At this moment, Julie still did not know that it was because of her decision that she was in danger.
After class, Julie hesitated for a moment, but still came to Caroline with the report.
“Hey, Caroline, this is the case report that Professor McBride asked me to pass to you. He said that he has sent the revision opinions to your email. Also, he said that he still needs you to add another document. He hopes that you can hand it to him before next Monday.”
“I understand. Thank you for your help.” Caroline took the report and looked down at two pages. She found that Julie had not left. She looked up and asked curiously, “Is there anything else?”
Julie hesitated for a moment, but she still took out the invitation letter and pushed it in front of Caroline. “Next Wednesday is our club’s activity day. We’re going to hold a theme dressing party. The event is open to the public, so can I invite you to join us?”
Caroline wanted to reject her outright, but when she looked up and saw Julie’s anxious and expectant eyes, she paused for a moment and her heart softened.
This silly girl, she had already been neglected by her, yet she still wanted to come over. But it was precisely because Julie was such a kind girl that she wanted to stay away from her.
Caroline apologized to her in her heart and hardened her heart. “I already have plans for next Wednesday, so I can’t agree to your invitation.”
Although Julie had guessed that the success rate of this invitation would not be too high, she was still a little disappointed when she heard Caroline’s rejection. She could only force a smile. “I’m sorry. I made my own decision and didn’t consider your situation. I’ve caused you trouble.”
After saying that, she took back the invitation letter and returned to her seat dejectedly.
Caroline looked at her lonely back and then looked away.
Jeffrey, who had witnessed what had just happened, looked at Caroline with some doubt. “You clearly wanted to agree. Why did you refuse?”
Caroline looked down at the report in her hand and didn’t even raise her head. “That can only mean that your perception is wrong. I’m not interested in a drag party at all.”
Jeffrey raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn’t think his perception was wrong. She wanted to agree but refused. What was the reason? He pondered in his heart.
Caroline was also impressed by Jeffrey’s keen senses. She noticed that he was deep in thought, so she changed the topic to prevent him from digging deeper. “Compared to this, I’m more curious about how long you plan to follow me? Are you planning to never go back to your class?”
As expected, Jeffrey’s attention was diverted. He put on a distressed expression. “Of course, I have to continue with the class, so it’s not realistic to follow you all the time. I was wondering if I should follow you for the next few days and observe those people’s reactions. If they don’t dare to bully me again, it will prove that our measures are effective.”
Caroline frowned and thought for a moment, as if she was not satisfied with this proposal. In the end, she sighed and compromised, “Up to you.”
Jeffrey saw Caroline’s cold expression and still couldn’t figure out where his speculation went wrong.
Could it be that she was a much more cold-blooded person than he had imagined? Was that why she could not empathize with someone who had also been bullied?
If that were really the case, then it would be too boring.
Jeffrey’s lips twitched slightly, and he wondered if he should test Caroline’s
true nature again and see if he should adjust his follow-up strategy.
Caroline had finished flipping through the report, and she was wondering if she should find an opportunity to go to the top floor of the planetarium to explore Jeffrey’s secret base and see what kind of secret experiments this young master was conducting inside.
Considering that Jeffrey was someone who would secretly install surveillance cameras on people, he should have installed strict security on the top floor to prevent others from discovering his secrets.
At the thought of this, Caroline took out her phone and sent Henry an encrypted message..
