Veronica's POV
Darwin took a moment to notice my behavior. “You look bothered. "What is the problem?” Darwin asked with a steel gaze into my eyes.
His deep voice called my attention. I had wanted to say he should not worry about it. But I knew it would only make things linger the more.
I had to tell an admissible lie. “Something is wrong at home, and I am very bothered. "I would like to go check it out,” I said with an obvious fear in my eyes. I begged the heavens that he wouldn't see through me.
“You are not good with lies. It's obvious in your eyes. I will let you go. "It might be important.” Darwin spoke with compassion.
I was thrilled that for the first time he reasoned so well. “Thank you.” My lips curved with a smile. I packed my bags and ventured out of his presence.
