The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, Lorenzo frowned, and Eve, who was sitting on the other side, could clearly feel the change in Lorenzo.
"What happened, Lorenzo?"
Eve asked quietly.
"No… nothing."
Lorenzo collected the paper and stuffed it back into the envelope.
"What's written in it?"
Eve asked again, she always felt that Lorenzo was hiding something from her.
"It's a bill. A very urgent bill, something about building maintenance or something. It's like if I don't pay it, they're going to sue me."
Lorenzo casually began to fool Eve, something he was very good at and often succeeded at.
"Building maintenance?"
Eve looked around her, at the messy Winchester office. It was obvious that she mistook it for the building that Lorenzo had mentioned.
"Are you lying to me?"
Just when Lorenzo thought he was going to successfully deceive Eve, Eve suddenly turned around and said, she looked at Lorenzo sharply, as if all the secrets could not be hidden from her.
The scene became awkward for a moment.
"You said before that I have grown up and am no longer the child who trembled in front of monsters. Then you lied to me with such ridiculous words?"
Eve looked helpless, then whispered.
"Improve yourself, Lorenzo."
She patted Lorenzo's shoulder hard, and Lorenzo responded with disgust. He was disgusted by Eve's extremely pretentious and disappointed look.
Lorenzo remained silent, feeling a bit complicated, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Then I'll be leaving first. I have to go on duty."
Eve said as she was about to leave.
"Just leaving like that? I thought you would question me until you got to the bottom of it."
Lorenzo couldn't believe that Eve just left like that. According to his impression of Eve, this girl could drive people crazy once she got into trouble.
"I know that rule. Knowledge is cursed. If you're not going to tell me, then it must be cursed knowledge. You also said that the higher you climb, the more you can know."
Eve learned quickly. She obeyed Lorenzo's words and pushed open the door.
"Bye, Lorenzo."
The door slammed shut and the room became dark again. Lorenzo looked at the closed door. The scent of Eve was still lingering in the air.
This can be considered a novel experience. A friend passing by kicks open your door with malicious intent to tease you, chats with you about everything, and then leaves in style...
To be honest, this was a life Lorenzo had never thought of before, he had never even fantasized about it, but now he had almost everything he had never had before, and this wonderful feeling almost made him sink. Also because all this was too beautiful, Lorenzo saw the light, and could not bear the light's departure.
For some reason, Lorenzo thought of the guy named Juan. When he finally stopped himself, he probably had the same feeling. Lawrence was his light and his hope, and he was willing to give everything for this.
A harsh sound of air flow was heard, and steam once again surged up from under the street, making the early morning sky of Old Dunling foggy again. It blurred the windows, but more light shone in from outside the windows, clearing the darkness and illuminating the dirty room.
