Free Web NovelChapter 115: Mentor’s Words
Editor: Henyee Translations
The mentor listened to Anita and said, "Anita, the business trip will only take a week, and it can only help you escape the problem this week. When you come back, the remaining problem will still have to be faced by you. I don’t want you to be a deserter. If there’s a problem, you have to solve it head-on."
Anita was stunned. Her eyes started to turn red. She knew that although she didn’t say anything, her mentor understood everything.
"Yes, don’t worry, I know. I’ll handle it."
The mentor didn’t say anything else after hearing Anita’s words. He knew that Anita was a smart child and he would think about it and handle it well.
After hanging up on her mentor, Anita sat on the sofa for a while. When she felt better, she went back to her room to wash up. After washing up, she stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.
Her eyes were still red and puffy from having just cried. She didn’t want Owen to see her like this, and she was afraid he would worry. So she sat on the bed and thought about it for a long time. Finally, she got up and locked the door.
In fact, she knew when Owen came back last night, he tried to push open the door. When he pushed the door the second time, Anita couldn’t help but want to come down and open the door for Owen.
But she didn’t expect to hear Owen’s footsteps as he turned to leave just as she lifted the blanket and got out of bed. So she controlled herself and finally lay back down.
In the end, she didn’t know how she fell asleep last night. Her mind was filled with thoughts of her recent interactions with Owen.
The next morning, she woke up without the alarm.
It was too early. She lay in bed and thought about it. Since she had promised her mentor yesterday that she would go to England for a business trip, she started to prepare.
She took out two suitcases and packed the clothes and information she wanted to bring into the suitcase. When she was done, she realized that she had packed two suitcases.
After she was done, she didn’t bother to take anything out, so she prepared to push it into the living room. Afraid of waking Owen, who hadn’t gotten up yet, she was especially gentle.
When she was done, she saw that it was still early, and she thought about how Owen had been working overtime these past few days. He had also been back so late yesterday, so he definitely hadn’t eaten properly. So she thought about it and went to the kitchen to prepare their breakfast.
After looking in the fridge, she took two eggs out and wanted to make an omelet, so she turned on the kitchen smoking machine. She was a little loud, and she was afraid she would wake Owen, so she closed the kitchen’s sliding door.
So she didn’t hear it when the suitcase in the living room fell to the ground. She didn’t even hear Owen get up and call her. But when she turned around, she saw Owen, who was already standing at the kitchen table while looking at her in a daze. free𝑤ebnovel.com
To be honest, it had been days since they had a good look at each other, so she was delighted the moment she turned and saw Owen.
But unexpectedly, the conversation worsened. In the end, when Owen slammed the door, she knew that the misunderstanding between the two of them hadn’t been resolved and had instead deepened.
But at this moment, she didn’t know what to do or say.
The more she thought about it, the more puzzled she became. She could only sigh helplessly and go back to her room to change before leaving with her key.
She had packed her things and was going to school to say goodbye to her mentor.
She had to tell Jack. After all, she would be away for a week. She still needed Jack’s help with catching up on the experiment. She had to tell Jack no matter what.
When she reached school, she got out of the taxi and headed for her mentor’s office.
She had been to the mentor’s office many times. She went to the office door and knocked.
The mentor’s wife was in the house tidying the messy books on the table for him. When she saw Anita, she said warmly, "Anita, you’re here. Your mentor went to class. Sit here and wait for him."
"It’s okay, Ma’am. Let me help you," Anita said as she walked up to help her clean the table.
"Anita, you don’t look that well. What’s wrong?" She looked at Anita and asked softly.
"Really? I’m okay. I just didn’t sleep well last night," Anita said while pretending to be busy.
"You young people don’t pay attention to your bodies. How many times have I told you to sleep early? You just don’t listen." She didn’t see Anita lower her head.
When she heard her, she thought that she was too busy with the experiment recently and didn’t have time to rest, so she nagged.
"I understand." Anita listened to her nagging and finally looked up with a smile.
"I know you find me nagging," She looked at Anita and smiled helplessly.
The two of them chatted amiably. Soon, Anita’s mentor returned.
