"Are you giving up on yourself?"
A low and attractive voice rang out in my ears. I lifted my head and saw that it was Theo.
He was standing not far away, looking at m e with a face filled with helplessness.
I subconsciously wanted to stand up, but after thinking about it, I figured it was too late to save my image anymore. He had already seen how wretched I looked.
Therefore, I said without a single care, "It’s none of your business."
Theo walked over and stood beside me, saying faintly, "I'm not trying to interfere with your business, but are you planning to treat these fruits that we've painstakingly picked with such disrespect?”
I pursed my lips and picked up the fruits that had scattered across the ground. I put them in the bags and looked up at him, asking, "Are you happy now?”
There seemed to be a faint smile on Theo's lips. It was as if he was holding back his laughter.
He did not reach out to pull me and merely said, "Get up now, Mr. Collins is waiting to eat his fruits."
He turned around and walked away after saying that.
I thought he would help me, but it seemed like I was overthinking it.
That made me very angry. He deliberately came back just to watch me make a fool of myself, huh?
After sitting a few more minutes in the mud puddle, my anger had almost dissipated. Thus, I stood up from the mud puddle.
I lowered my head to take a look and waited to cry. I was covered in mud.
After getting back to the test site, I bumped into Krayden, who widened his eyes when he saw me. It was as though he had seen a rare object. He made no effort to conceal his surprise. "Ms. Lane, did you fall into a mud pit?"
