Chapter 234 - 234: Snooping
“Every time I listen to the documentary, I fall asleep very quickly.”
Hearing Caroline’s explanation, Jeffrey almost lost his composure. He smiled awkwardly. “Ah, I see.”
“Yes, so I’m sorry. I’m just a layman who doesn’t understand astronomy. I can’t talk to you about such an elegant hobby.”
Jeffrey quickly waved his hand. “It’s fine. There are not many people who like astronomy. Although I feel a little regretful when I know this result, it’s not really surprising.”
Caroline looked at the time on her phone and looked at him hesitantly.
Jeffrey instantly understood. “In that case, I won’t disturb your rest.” With that, he left the room like a gentleman.
The moment the door closed, Jeffrey’s bashfulness and shyness disappeared, replaced by a sense of world-weary calmness and a hint of doubt.
Even though Caroline didn’t show any flaws, Jeffrey had a feeling that things weren’t that simple.
The first attempt ended in failure, but Jeffrey was clearly not discouraged.
The Astronomical Hall could be said to be one of his secret bases, and there were many of his secrets hidden here. Therefore, he would not be able to relax until he completely figured out Caroline’s purpose.
So the next day, after Caroline’s lunch break ended and she left the
Astronomical Hall, Jeffrey sneaked into the room where she usually stayed. He secretly hid a pinhole camera on the beam of the door, pointing it at the position of the chair Caroline was lying on that day, trying to take a picture of what Caroline did in the room.
However, Jeffrey had underestimated Caroline’s capabilities. On the third day, when Caroline entered the audio visual room and sat down on the chair, she suddenly felt someone spying on her.
Her hand that was holding the remote control paused for a moment. Then, as if nothing had happened, she continued to play the projector’s recording. She adjusted the progress to the previous one and continued to play. Then, as usual, she adjusted the chair and lay down comfortably.
However, before she went to sleep, she took out her phone and turned on the selfie mode of the camera. She used it as a mirror to tidy up her appearance. Then, she turned off the lights and prepared for her lunch break.
On the other side of the camera, Jeffrey was staring at the screen. He couldn’t believe that she was really doing nothing in the audio visual room and was just sleeping.
Was he really too paranoid?
What he didn’t know was that just now, Caroline had already used her phone camera to capture the pinhole camera he had secretly placed on the door beam when she was tidying up her appearance.
It could only be said that Jeffrey was indeed not a simple person. After all, why would an ordinary person think of using a pinhole camera to monitor others? The only pity was that his methods were still too immature.
Caroline pretended not to notice the pinhole camera and had a good sleep as if no one else was around. Then, when it was time, she walked to the classroom where the afternoon class would be held.
The moment she stepped into the classroom, she heard Julie call out to her,
“Hey, Caroline, over here.”
This was a professional anatomy class. In order to be able to see the teacher’s operation clearly, the students kept moving forward to occupy seats. Caroline came late, and the good seats had already been taken.
But even so, Caroline did not go over to Julie’s greeting. Instead, she found a spot on the periphery and pretended not to see Julie’s frequent glances at her.
Seeing that Caroline really ignored them, Julie looked away sadly. “What do you think happened to Caroline?”
On the day of the physical examination, the three women had a very close relationship with each other, but on the second day, Caroline’s attitude suddenly turned cold, and the two women looked like they weren’t very familiar with each other.
Julie really thought that Caroline was a great girl and treated her as a friend. Therefore, when she saw this situation, she felt quite sad. She even thought about it several times. Did she and Andy do something wrong that day that made her angry?
Andy’s expression was not too good either, but compared to Julie’s sadness, she was more angry. “Don’t take it too seriously. Maybe she just needed someone to accompany her for the physical examination that day. We were just tools. After the physical examination, we lost our value, so we were thrown aside.”
Such a statement was too hurtful. Julie was unwilling to accept it. She muttered, “Don’t talk about her like that.. Maybe she really has her own difficulties?”
