Chapter 141

Trevin was waiting outside the door.
He smiled at me and said, “Good morning, girl. Let’s go to work together.”
I thought since I was going to squeeze onto the bus anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to go together, so I nodded.
However, when I arrived downstairs, I saw him pushing out an electric scooter from the hallway, and I was completely dumbfounded.
I asked in surprise, “Do you ride it to work every day?”
“Yeah, my mom said riding this saves money, just need to charge it every day. And this bike is second–hand that I found, so cheap, only a few hundred.
He said, sitting on an electric scooter, and shouted at me, “Hey girl, come on, get on.”
I quickly waved my hand and said, “No, it’s not necessary. I’ll take the bus.”
Yesterday, I observed the road and the closer I got to the construction site, the more difficult it was to walk on. It was full of potholes.
What if this electric scooter is not stable to ride and falls down?
I fell, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is the baby inside my belly.
And I wasn’t particularly close to him either, so it was like asking him

to give me a ride on his electric scooter all the time.
Trevin was still calling me, “It’s okay, girl, come up quickly.”
I shook my head and said, “Thank you, but I’m used to taking the bus, so I’ll just go like this. I’ll leave first, bye.”
After speaking, I quickly turned around and walked towards the direction of the bus stop.
Sometimes, I really felt that Trevin and Auntie were too enthusiastic.
Trevin quickly caught up with me on his bike and rode alongside me the whole way, constantly asking me to ride with him. I refused the entire time.
People around us were giving us strange looks, thinking that we were a couple having a quarrel, unaware of the truth.
I feel like I really need to keep my distance from Trevin in the future.
I walked quickly and finally arrived at the bus stop. Trevin sighed in frustration and said to me, “Well, girl, I’m leaving first.”
“Um, be careful on your way.”
I breathed a sigh of relief as I watched Trevin ride away on his bike.
I arrived relatively early, and there weren’t many people in the library.
Perhaps it was because I bought drinks for them yesterday, the supervisor who called me remembered me.
He enthusiastically introduced me to the work I had to do every day.
Because we hired a group of temporary documenters, to put it simply,
141
we hired people to do odd jobs and assist us.
So their requirements were not very strict, and our daily work was just to fill out the forms according to their requirements and then input the data into the archives.
The work was not difficult, and it was easy to get started.
I was a bit busy, basically didn’t stop for the whole morning.
However, the working atmosphere was quite good, with no one bullying each other, and everyone was working diligently.
At noon when I got off work, I went to the staff canteen with everyone else.
The staff canteen was large, and the variety of dishes was quite abundant.
I cooked the meal and sat together with my colleagues, getting ready to
eat.
Suddenly, a person sat in front of me.
I looked up and saw that it was Trevin.
“Esmeralda, what a coincidence,” Trevin said to me with a smile.
I nodded and smiled, without saying anything.
Trevin suddenly placed a bottle of orange juice in front of me and thoughtfully said, “Esmeralda, I bought this just now when I passed by the store specifically for you. Don’t all you girls like to drink this?”
“No, no, it’s fine.” I quickly handed him the drink and said, “I rarely drink beverages, thank you for your kindness.”

“It’s okay, don’t be polite with me.” Trevin stubbornly pushed the orange juice in front of me, then picked up the tray and ran away.
I furrowed my brows, feeling a bit annoyed in my heart.
At that moment, my colleague beside me bumped my arm and chuckled, “Is he trying to pursue you?”
I was startled in my heart, “No, it can’t be.”
“Oh, it’s obvious. He was interested in you and wanted to pursue you.”
I pursed my lips and remembered the strange behavior of Trevin and Auntie these past two days, feeling a bit anxious in my heart.
Before, I only thought they were kind–hearted, so I didn’t think much
about it.
Now even colleagues can see it at a glance.
No, I had to find a time to explain it to Trevin.
The office here used to get off work relatively early.
