Chapter 255: It’s Her
It was her, standing in the crowd, looking at the stage with a faint smile. Her appearance has actually changed a lot, she is wearing a set of black work clothes, black leather shoes, and black shoulder–length hair. She wears a pair of black–framed glasses, her face is still small, and her skin is very white, but it is different. If it wasn’t for being too familiar, she would probably not have been recognized at this glance.
Although she used to have a quiet personality, her appearance was very eye–catching. Even if she wore work clothes, she had to choose slim- fitting ones that could outline her figure, and then match them with a pair of high–heeled shoes to be in high spirits every day.
Penn stared at the screen almost greedily at her, zooming in and out of the screen, not missing every detail.
Joa poked her head over and looked at the screen. She had an impression of this girl. At that time, she was looking for a sticky note at the information desk. The girl came over and asked her if there was a
contestant named Larry. She also called Larry to the information desk for the girl’s broadcast..
Joa said, “She is Larry’s sister, the champion of this competition, and came to see him compete.”
After explaining this, she suddenly realized
“Is she Miss Woodsen?”
This can’t be blamed on Joa not knowing her. When Penn was with Serena before, few people at Future Better Technology Company knew about it. Joa later knew about the existence of this person, but she had also seen the photos. She was a very fashionable and beautiful girl. So at the competition venue that day, she really didn’t recognize her.
“Are there any other videos?” Penn asked.
“Have you edited it?” Joa dug out the full video of the game that day from the tablet, and Penn flipped through it frame by frame. In fact, there are not many videos of her appearing in front of the camera, but occasionally after a few seconds, Penn will stare at it for a while. The empty floating heart that has been floating for several years has landed firmly with these occasional shadows.
The longest video shows her chatting with a boy named Larry at the information desk. Although her expression is a little cold, the concern in her eyes is beyond words.
After getting off the plane and returning to NY, the first thing Penn did was ask Joa to give him Larry’s information. The contestants in the Youth Robotics Competition will fill out a detailed profile.
In the column of Larry’s parents, his father is the head of a law firm, and Penn instantly understands their relationship, and almost instantly determines where Serena has been in the past few years.
His heart hadn’t jumped so vividly in years.
Both Nate and Joa thought he would transfer directly to Serena’s city, because they could see him alive with the naked eye.
What they didn’t expect was that they were really calm. At this moment, they took their time to explain to Joa and asked her to ask Larry to come to NY to discuss in detail the internship at Future Better Technology Company during the winter and summer vacations.
“Mr. Humphery, Larry is still a minor. If he wants to intern, do he have to ask his parents for permission? Let his parents come to NY too?”
“I’ll contact you, don’t worry about it.” Penn decided to do it himself.
Through Larry’s father’s law firm, he followed the trail and saw Serena’s online consulting account with almost no effort.
On the online account was a small work photo of her. Although she wore black–rimmed glasses and had a different temperament, there was no obvious change in her facial features. No matter how he looked at it, it was still his Serena.
He registered an account on this lawyer information website and carefully
sent a sentence
“Hello!”
When he sent it, his heart beat faster, and his palms were about to sweat.
“Sorry, I’m not online right now. Please leave a message if you need to consult, and I will reply as soon as I go online. If there is an emergency, you can call my phone 137xxxxxxxx.”
Penn feels that all the luck of the past few years has been concentrated on this day, when he not only saw her, but also her contact information. He carefully jotted down the phone number, then used Whatsapp to search for her account, and unexpectedly found her Whatsapp Moments, ten of which she allowed strangers to view.
He read them one by one with a devout heart. Even if they were all sharing some legal cases, he read them very seriously. He was not in the same time and space, but he had read the same text.
Through these case sharing and her self–introduction on the consultation website, she probably knows what kind of cases she is dealing with now, and has a plan in mind.
Serena went to dinner with Darcy for his friends tonight, so she came home a little later than usual. The two children, with Nelly’s help, have finished showering and are lying side by side in bed waiting for her to come back and tell a story.
Nelly smiled and said, “Don’t let me say anything tonight, I must wait for my mother to come back.”
Serena also smiled, “I know, I’ll treat you Nelly today.”
“It’s okay, Darcy went back?”
“Yeah, he sent his friends to the airport.” Although Darcy had a lot of friends, he only had a few who were really close to him. Tonight was the first time he went to a friend’s dinner with him, and from the words of his friends, he had a new understanding of him
By the time she finished taking a shower and telling stories with the children, and then habitually turned on the computer to read online consultation, it was already more than 11 o’clock in the evening.
As soon as I opened the consultation page, I saw a simple hello from a newly registered account, which was around 8 p.m.
She also replied a hello, and did not expect the other party to reply, because online consultation, almost every day to receive this kind of information, and then there is no following.
As a result, today she replied with the word hello, and the other party replied almost in seconds, but it was still the word hello. Then I saw on the window, the other party was typing a few words, it kept flashing, but it didn’t send it again for a long time.
Just as she was about to close the page, the other party’s message finally
came
“Serena, hello. I’ll consult you tomorrow. It’s too late today, so rest early.” Penn was running out of words and could only make a clumsy appointment to consult again tomorrow.
“Okay, you can leave a message if you have any questions, and I will reply in time.” It must not be something urgent, so she went offline after speaking.
Coincidentally, Darcy also sent a video request. He had just returned home from taking his friend to the airport. Knowing that she was still
awake at this time, he hurried to the video.
When feelings come, they can’t stop it. Even friends say that it’s the first time they’ve seen him so attentive.
Serena remembered the chat at the dinner party in the evening, and asked casually, “What is a dead friend?”
“A few years ago, when we were in the wilderness and encountered danger, everyone came back with their lives.” Darcy said lightly. In fact, the hardships and dangers of the process cannot be described in words.
“Did you save them at that time?” The information Serena captured from listening to them tonight.
