Small competition

(From MC's Perspective)

Hansen institute,

Mr Arthur seemed to be a little clueless regarding how to handle the current situation.

Seeing his contemplating expression, I felt I should have taken a day off today. At least, In that way, I would have stayed away from all the commotion.

Shaking my head in disappointment, I rose from the seat.

Seeing that, Mr Arthur raised his head to see me. Then he asked in a solemn tone, "What are you going to do next?"

I have already seen through his thoughts. So I jokingly replied, "Don't worry, Mr Arthur. I won't run away from here." After saying that, I couldn't help but smile.

My words stunned Mr Arthur. He looked at me with an embarrassing smile on his face.

"Okay, You can leave. I'll contact you once Elder Thornton comes back," Mr Arthur said.

Hearing that, my expression tightened. "Are you seriously considering exposing my whereabouts?"

"No" "No"

"I didn't mean it like that"
