C147 A Smile Of A Man Hiding Secrets

A good morning message. From Laura. The shy and beautiful Laura. The daughter of my Team Manager. The same Laura who had occupied my thoughts for days.

I felt as if I had just won another company reward. My excitement grew uncontrollably. I quickly replied “ Good Morning to you too Laura, I hope we can meet again soon."

Without even eating breakfast, I grabbed my bag and rushed out of the house. “Mike!” My mother shouted. “Aren’t you going to eat?” “I’m not hungry!”

Before my parents could say anything else, the door had already closed. Mary and Quinton exchanged glances. Then they both laughed. “I wonder what happened to him,” Mary said. Quinton smiled knowingly. “Our son seems very happy today.”

When I arrived at the company, I immediately spotted a familiar scene. Alicia was chasing Chris around near the entrance.

“You cheated!” Alicia shouted. Chris laughed loudly. “How did I cheat?” “You started walking before I finished counting!” “That’s because your counting takes forever!”

“You are impossible!” The two continued arguing like little children. I couldn’t help laughing. “Good morning, you two.” Both of them immediately turned toward me.

The moment Chris saw my face, he frowned. “Brother.” “What?” “Why are you smiling like that?” I instantly tried to suppress my grin. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Alicia narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “That is the smile of a man hiding secrets.” Chris nodded. “I agree.” I sighed. “Am I that obvious?” “Very.” “Extremely.” “Painfully obvious.” The three of us laughed.
