Chapter 4 Trick
When Sterling looked at Audrey before leaving, his eyes were full of coldness and hostility. Audrey stood there and puffed out her cheeks.
Sterling was harsh!Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
But thinking of the things she had done to Sterling since he joined Class 10, Audrey frowned. Who could she blame but herself?
She deserved it!
The bell rang. Audrey didn’t go to the classroom but walked toward the faculty's office building. There were five floors. It would take her the whole afternoon to clean all the windows.
Audrey began from Floor 5. On Floor 3, she bumped into Corbin, who had just taken part in the preliminary round of the artificial intelligence competition on behalf of the school.
He was graceful and gentle. There was always a warm smile on his charming face. Compared with Sterling, who constantly had a grim look in his eyes, Corbin was like an angel. Audrey had been deceived by Corbin’s masquerade in her previous life.
He pretended to have feelings for Audrey. In fact, he was the most ruthless. Being nice to Audrey was only his means to get revenge and take the Watson family’s property.
In the end, he colluded with Kelsey. They killed Audrey’s father and grandma and took the Watson Group. Audrey was all alone. She trembled with rage at the sight of Corbin. “Audra, why are you here?”
Anger surged in Audrey. She suppressed her emotions, rubbed her slim and fair wrist, and said in a coquettish and sweet voice, “The dean of students asked me to clean the windows. It’s a punishment. I’ve been doing this for over an hour. My wrist is sore.”
“Let me do it for you.” Corbin was an expert in pretending. He acted caring and thoughtful. But deep down, he knew Audrey was a fool. She'd rather be exhausted than let Corbin do the slightest work.
However, this time, Audrey handed him the rag and smiled sweetly, “OK.”
Looking at the dirty rag in his hand, Corbin frowned and held back his confusion and anger.
Audrey took a stool and sat aside. Corbin said gently, “Audra, there are bananas and a carton of milk in my bag.” Audrey nodded with a smile.
Corbin meant to get off the chair after cleaning a window. Audrey peeled a banana and threw the peel on the floor. Ascream came.
Corbin slipped and fell hard.
Audrey stood up abruptly and ran to him with a flustered and innocent expression. “Sorry. | meant to throw it into the dustbin but missed it. It doesn’t hurt much, does it?”
Corbin felt like his tailbone almost broke. Meeting Audrey’s clear, innocent doe eyes, Corbin couldn’t blame her. He shook his head and said, “I’m OK.”
“That’s a relief. Let me help you up.”
Audrey reached out her hands, but she staggered before Corbin got up. “Ah!” He screamed again.
His face twisted with pain. Looking at him, Audrey teared up with a guilty and sorry expression. “Corbin, it was an accident. | slipped. Are you OK? I'll give you a hand.”
Corbin wouldn’t let Audrey help him again. It hurt so much that he wished to strangle Audrey. But he couldn’t afford to offend the stupid rich girl. He had to endure the pain and clench his teeth as he tried to get up on his own.
Crouching, Audrey buried her face in her arms. Her narrow shoulders moved now and then.
Corbin thought she was crying. Enduring the pain all over his b*dy, he held back his anger and patted Audrey on the shoulder. “Audra, | know it was an accident. | don’t blame you.”
“Corbin, | feel bad for hurting you. Are you really OK?” Audrey looked up at him with tearful eyes.
“| really am.”
“Great. Then, you can continue to clean the windows for me. I'm going to buy your favorite beverage.” Before Corbin could say anything, Audrey had left with an apologetic expression.
On the landing of the staircase, she saw Sterling coming up with his hands tucked in his trouser pockets. His face presented a carefree and gloomy expression.
