Audrey hurriedly explained, "Mr. Bryson, Nell is joking. Don't take it seriously."
Bryson raised his eyebrows slightly.
"But, I almost took it seriously!"
Audrey said nothing.
Nell pulled Audrey behind her and said to Bryson with a smile, "Mr. Bryson, we'll take Audrey away
from here first. You can rest assured."
"Thank you, Ms. Nell. I'll invite you to dinner another day!"
"Okay, Mr. Bryson. We will come as long as you invite us!"
Audrey didn't respond.
Bryson drove away with great satisfaction.
Audrey watched Bryson drive away and pinched Nell's arm.
Nell screamed in pain.
"Audrey, it hurts. My intestines will come out of me if you use more strength."
Audrey rolled her eyes, "Your intestines won't come out even if I take your arm, okay?"
Nell said, "Holy shit, how horrible you are. You want to take my arm and pull out my intestines. Well,
you are so evil."
"Shut your mouth up."
Nataly came close to Audrey and smelled something.
"Audrey, what's that smell on you? It smells great."
Grady frowned and said, "I think I smelled a barbecue."
Audrey raised the bag in her hand.
"This is the fish we roasted at noon. We went to the pond to go fishing ourselves. The fish is very fresh.
We caught three fish and ate only one. There were two left, so I wrapped them up."
Nell shook her head.
"You brought us the fish you caught with Bryson. Is Mr. Bryson really not jealous?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAudrey glared at her.
"Go to hell! You will have nothing to eat if you don't keep your mouth shut!"
Nataly licked her lips and touched the bag in Audrey's hand, "Well, we can have our dinner earlier
today!"
Audrey quickly handed the bag to Grady, "Grady, I'll leave the fish to you. Remember, Nataly can't
touch the fish before dinner time!"
Nataly was a super glutton. If these two roast fish fell into Nataly's hands, nothing would be left before
dinner.
Grady smiled as he took the fish and said, "Copy that!"
Nataly looked at Audrey with a sad look.
Nell turned around and looked at the video game store behind her. "Girls, forget what we talk about just
now! We're at the video game store and we can have some fun in here!"
All of them were excited and they agreed.
Audrey, Nataly, Nell, and Grady were all experts in the video game.
The four of them broke several records in the video game store by the evening.
When they came out of the video game store, not only did they win back the money they spent, they
also won a large sum of gold coins and a 500 dining coupon.
They used the coupon to eat at the mall where the video game store was.
The four of them ordered ten dishes and had the fish they brought heated up in a microwave. Then,
they had a big dinner.
They ate all of the ten dishes and two roast fish. They ate so much that they didn't want to move and
just sat on their chairs.
Audrey leaned against the chair and looked at Grady.
"Grady, how have you been?"
Grady said, "My dad told me to start from scratch. I am now a costume designer in the design
department. In the future, whoever wants to design clothes can just come to me!"
Nell shook her head and looked at Grady seriously. "Grady, you can't exercise all your potential as a
costume designer. You should be a designer of jokes!"
Audrey and Nell laughed at the same time.
Grady looked at Nataly who didn't laugh.
"Nataly, it's very nice of you for not laughing at me. I will just ignore the two of them in the future."
Nataly looked up from her phone and blinked through her big glass, "Hmm? What? What did you just
say?"
Grady was speechless.
Nell burst into laughter and said to Nataly, "Nataly, Grady said that he is a costume designer now."
Nataly took a glass of water and took a sip. Hearing Nell's words, she spat out a mouthful of water.
"What? Costume designer?" Nataly stared at Grady and said, "Grady, are you kidding me? You are a
costume designer?"
Grady was utterly devastated.
Grady drank some water to calm down. Suddenly, he pointed at Audrey and said, "You guys don't have
an eye for good things. Audrey can even become Bryson's girlfriend. Why can't I be a costume
designer?"
Audrey was speechless.
She thought to herself, 'Why do you talk about me?"
"There's nothing between me and Bryson!" Audrey raised her hand and said.
Nell, Nataly, and Grady snorted at the same time.
Nell rolled her eyes and said, "You said that there's nothing between the two of you. Who would believe
it? Do you two believe it?"
Nataly shook his head.
Grady said, "I don't believe it!"
Audrey said impatiently, "Nothing happened between us. You get us wrong."
Nell said, "You two have already slept in the same house so many times. I don't think there is a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmisunderstanding here."
Audrey didn't know what to say.
She couldn't refute Nell.
She used to stay in the same house with Bryson many times, but they were not in the same room.
Other people could take those words the wrong way.
"We are just friends at the moment."
Grady added, "It doesn't you will remain as friends in the future."
Nataly looked at Audrey quietly.
"But, Audrey, you like Bryson!" Nataly got straight to the point.
Audrey felt guilty when Nataly pointed out what was on her mind.
"Nataly, stop! We couldn't be together either now or in the future."
Nataly smiled and said, "We are not so sure about that. You haven't crossed paths before, but you now
know each other. That means you are destined to meet each other. Besides, I can tell that Bryson likes
you very much."
Audrey smiled bitterly.
"So what? We can have a chance to meet each other, but we can never be together."
Nataly stared at Audrey, "Audrey, sometimes you have to cherish the person in front of you. Besides, I
don't think Bryson cares about your past."
"Even if he doesn't care, I do. I couldn't pretend that nothing happened in the past. He deserves
someone better."
Nataly wanted to say something else, but Nell, who was beside her, shook Nataly's arm, suggesting
Nataly stop saying anything else.
Audrey always made everything so black and white. If she couldn't figure it out herself, it would be
useless for others to say anything else.
...
At night, when Audrey returned home, she saw a suspicious car following her from her rearview
mirror.
