Chapter 199 Misunderstanding (2/2)

At that moment, John was sitting behind his desk, seemingly busy with work. Documents were piled next to him, left and right.

He had his eyebrows knitted together.

Had he been working here this entire time?

Did he spend the entire night here?

Nina figured this was a plausible reason for his not coming home last night.

It didn't matter if she believed John or not—what she needed was proof of his innocence.

”John, have you had lunch yet?” She was worried that he had forgotten to eat amidst all the work he had to do.

In the past month, John had been going back to the North Yard just to have lunch and dinner with her every day.

This was the first day that he didn't have lunch with her.

When John heard the door open, he knew it was her just from hearing the footsteps alone. However, he pretended not to hear her.

When she asked him if he had lunch yet, his hand holding the pen twitched as the expression on his face shifted.

She didn't ask him anything else—instead, she was more concerned about him than anything.

Perhaps Nina was an excellent spy who knew how to manipulate his emotions.
