Sophia didn't go back to school that day. She called her mother at noon, told her that she had something to deal with at school and would not be back for dinner. She didn't tell Kate about Kevin for fear that she would worry about him.
It was less than school time, and she didn't want to go home for fear of being asked by her mother.
After taking Kevin home, Albert went to the company to deal with something. Sophia cycled to Glinton University. With the pass Professor Thompson gave her, the doorman let her in.
She stood alone in the burned laboratory, thinking about what had happened this day.
If it hadn't been for Albert, she didn't know what would have happened. Thinking about that, she was still scared.
She wanted to get over her fear of fire. Even though she knew it was a psychological feeling, she was unable to think the moment she saw the flame.
There were soft footsteps behind her. Sophia turned her head and saw Albert standing behind her.
"Didn't you go back to the company?" Sophia asked.
"My assistant has taken care of everything." Albert walked up to her. "I remember this is where I first met you."
Sophia paused, remembering the day she came to the lab and met Albert here.
It occurred to her that she had met Albert here in her last life. It was just that he would not know it.
"I was looking into the case of Miss Green," Albert said, stepping forward to a half-burned table. "Unfortunately, there has been no result so far."
Sophia was silent. It has been a puzzle in her heart.
"Miss Green had a friend, David Terry. He called me a while ago and said he had heard about the death of his friend and wanted to help investigate it." Albert continued, "I got a pass to Glinton University for him. He said he was not feeling well recently and would send someone to find out about the case."
When he talked about David Terry, Sophia thought of someone.
Benjamin.
He worked on the case for David. No wonder he could walk in and out of campus at will. He had the pass Albert got for him.
Why did she feel like this case will never be found out?
"By the way, Kevin just called and asked me to sell some of Miss Green's patents for him." Albert turned to Sophia, "He wants to donate the money to poor children. But before that, he wants to ask for your opinion."
As he said, he looked at Sophia with deep eyes, "This kid seems to think of you as his blood sister."
Sophia shunned his eyes and turned to look at the experiment table in front of him. "If he makes up his mind, he can do what he wants. It may not be a good thing for him to have so much money. As a man, he should rely on himself."
Albert felt comfortable with her last words.
Was it a shame that he depended on his family? Would he be despised?
He coughed, "I want to take you somewhere."
"Where?"
"Let's go to sing." Albert said, "I'm sure you're not happy about what happened today. I sometimes go to sing when I'm in a bad mood. And I feel a lot better after singing."
Sophia thought it was a good idea. When she came across some difficulties and was in a bad mood, Albert always advised her to sing. Although she sang badly, she did feel better after singing.
She suspected that Albert's beauty-appreciation might be distorted by the previous her that he often invited her to sing. And he seemed quite interested every time he heard her singing.
He looked like a pervert.
"Yeah." She nodded.
Anyway, there was a long time before school was over, and she had nowhere to go.
Albert picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Mr. Sampson. Please make a reservation for the Claus KTV for me."
Sophia was confused, "Do we need to make a reservation?"
Claus KTV was the one Albert took her to in her last life. It was not far from Glinton University. Every time she went there, it was empty there, and the business was bad. She wondered how the KTV survived.
Albert hung up. "It's better to make a reservation."
Albert came by car. The car was parked in a field not far away. Sophia got into the car. He started the car, and they got to the KTV in a moment.
Like every time Sophia came in her previous life, the KTV was empty and as quiet as a temple in the deep mountain.
But the waiters were very energetic, standing regularly, and not slackening off because of the lack of customers.
Sophia felt that these people were dedicated to model workers. If it were her, she wouldn't be so energetic in a shop with no customers.
"Welcome!" The head waiter, who was a little fat, greeted them.
Sophia met her and knew her name was Lily, who had received her and Albert every time they came.
With a standard smile, Lily led the two to the door of the Goddess Hall, opened the door, and made a "please" gesture.
Sophia didn't think much about it. He might be used to coming to this room that he led her, a healthy person, into the room for the disabled. There was no inconvenience for normal people to use the room. It was just that the space was so large that it seemed a little empty.
She went to the song-order machine, which had the function of memory and could remember songs ordered by the last guest. In the past, every time Sophia came, she could see songs she had ordered last time. There were probably too few disabled guests, and no new guests came after she left.
But to her surprise, the song list she saw was still the one she had ordered before.
It had been at least half a year since she came here last time. In half a year, no one had used this room.
Was it that no disabled person except her come to KTV?
