Alvin sighed. He didn’t expect his girlfriend to almost find out something wrong on her first check on him.

In order to further reassure Aurelia, Alvin felt that it was necessary to say something more convincing and logical.

“How could I have an affair with Camilla? Think about it, I’m just a poor office worker. I’m not handsome, and she’s the daughter of a noble family. There’s no way she would take a fancy to me.”

Alvin felt that what he said was very reasonable.

Well, at least it sounded very reasonable.

As for the actual situation…

When the system had started to calculate Camilla’s favorability, the truth had been very obvious. He had gotten Camilla’s secret favor by accident.

However, this matter could not be revealed to Aurelia even if he was beaten to death.

Therefore, Alvin paused for a moment before adding, “Not many people would like an ordinary person like me. Don’t worry.”

“No.”

On the other end of the phone, Aurelia’s tone was firm. “Alvin, you’re not as bad as you have said.”

“In my opinion, you’re at least a very smart man. You might be a little carefree in front of your friends, but when you’re alone, you actually have a very mature mind. All of this comes from your work experience and education. Your way of thinking is different from ordinary people’s. This may be a bad thing, but it can also be a good thing…”

Alvin was stunned while listening. He felt as if he had heard this before. At the same time, he felt as if he had also said something similar previously.

After a long while, Alvin came to his senses. Wasn’t this what he had said to Camilla just now?

How did Aurelia learn it as well?

“Alright, I know that comforting you this way is useless to you.”

On the other end of the phone, Aurelia lowered her voice. “But this is what you told me. When you meet someone who is self-deprecating, you lavish praise and compliments on him. You praise a man for being smart and a woman beautiful. It definitely won’t go wrong.”

Alvin was speechless. He had almost fallen into his own trap.

However, Alvin knew that this was not a good topic and there was no need to delve into it. Thus he directly asked, “Did you know that there was an industrial accident at your place?”

Aurelia was stunned for a moment on the other end of the phone. She was silent for a second and then replied in an exaggerated tone as if she was gossiping about something.

“Yes, I know.”

“Not only did I know, I even went to the scene to take a look!”

“Boy, I really can’t describe the spectacle of that scene. It’s completely different from what you saw on the news!”

“It seems to be a fire.”

“The fire department had closed down the area, so I could only stand in the distance and watch.”

“I could even see people running out covered in the fire!”

“The smoke directly reached the sky! A fire burned down their building, starting from the second floor. In the end, it spread to the entire building…”

When Alvin heard this, he interrupted.

“The news said that they still haven’t found out where the source of the fire was.”

What Alvin meant was very simple. The news said that they were still investigating the location of the source of the fire so that they could plan and segregate their responsibilities.

However, from Aurelia’s description, she directly said that the source of the fire was from the second floor.

Therefore, Alvin once again confirmed that Aurelia was most likely the instigator of this incident.

“You did it, didn’t you?”
