Chapter 4: Confession (Part II)

As a teenager who is about to turn seventeen in all respects, Peter is just as affected by the male hormones that he secretes like boys his age. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If the reason why he didn't attack Mary before was because of some scruples in Peter's heart, Gwen didn't have these problems!

She's smart, she's beautiful, she's got a great personality, and she's a perfect girl in every way. What's more, she should also have a certain good impression of herself.

Now this internship is nearing the end, and Gewen and herself are not from the same secondary school. If he didn't do anything, maybe he would have watched this wonderful girl disappear from his life and gradually forget about himself. Peter didn't want to end up like this.

Even though he's pretty much a waste when it comes to relationships, he's still ambitious! If his confession succeeds this time, he will be able to confidently develop a sense of psychological superiority in front of the single dogs, who make up nearly two-thirds of the school's population.

I made an appointment two days ago to go to Jasmine's Cafe for afternoon tea after the internship today. It's quiet, elegant, and a nice place to confess. As for the lines, I have already prepared them, and there are four line cards in the pockets of my pants, so I can be emergency when the time comes!

Before heading out, Peter looked at the gloomy sky and suddenly had an idea, and quickly replaced the umbrella in his backpack with another one that was a little larger.

If it really rains heavily, her umbrella can also be shared with her. The two of them shared an umbrella and walked in the rain together, which Peter found extremely romantic. At this point, Peter even had some hope that it would rain.

Cheering himself up, Peter stepped out of the door.

Peter, who got off the bus, turned a street and came to the Osborne Building, while Gwen was waiting for him at the door, as usual.

"Good morning!" Peter waved his hand, and Gwen smiled and nodded.

"Good morning." She said.

The two of them made their way to the interior of the building through the revolving glass door and joined the queue waiting for security. It's the peak time to work, and nearly 1,000 employees have to arrive at the company at this time. Even with six queues open at the same time, there are still some deficiencies at the security checkpoint, which makes the queues gradually longer and longer. But the security guards didn't make their checks less rigorous in order to speed things up, and the Osborne Building is the heart of the Osborne Group, and they can't afford to take any risks when it comes to security.

The two joined the shortest-looking line, but there were still more than twenty people in front of them. Peter looked at his watch. "You're here before me again. It's twenty-four minutes before the meeting time, what time do you usually go out?"

"It's not too early, we don't have much time left after we get through security. And if you come a little later, the security line will be longer. I don't want to be late again. Gwen replied to Peter's words. At this time, the person who had just joined in at the back of their line greeted Gwen, and Gwen politely followed the man to say good morning.

Seeing this scene, Peter was a little envious. Now he doesn't even have much teaching with other interns, and Gwen is even familiar with the regular employees of the Osborne Group.

"Do you know that guy?" Peter was a little curious.

"Dr. Cloeter, he was there when we did the fusion experiment last Tuesday. I asked him a few questions afterwards, so I might have remembered me. Gwen replied, greeting a few of the interns from the other team.

"Ah, that's right. It's good that I haven't found anyone to talk to other than you. ”

"Of course, if you don't take the initiative to chat with others, others won't make friends with you. No wonder you've been single until now. ”

For some reason, this mere joke made Peter blush, and he couldn't speak for a while. Gwen looked at him quizzically, then looked away again. She was a little used to the fact that this companion was not a stopper.

A few minutes later, it was finally their turn to go through security. Peter put his backpack in the baggage screening machine and obediently asked the security guards to scan his whole body with various instruments. When this part was finally over, Peter quickly picked up his things and trotted a few steps to catch up with Gwen.

"It seems to be raining this afternoon, do you want to go to afternoon tea together?" Peter asked a little restrainedly, with a hint of tentation in his tone.

"Of course, isn't that something that has already been agreed?" Gwen replied lightly. When Peter's heart became hot when he heard this answer, he seemed to walk in good spirits. It didn't take long for Gwen to notice that something was wrong with Peter.

"What the hell is wrong with you today? Looking like you've been beaten with chicken blood? Gwen looked at Peter, who was overly excited, with a strange expression. Did anything good happen? ”

"Well, it's nothing." Peter, who was asked, paused for a moment, and the suspicion in Gwen's eyes increased.

"I don't believe it."

Peter's mind spun and he quickly made up an excuse. "Actually, it's about my long-distance running. This morning I finally broke my 45-minute goal in my 10km run, and I thought I would have to train for another two or three months to get there. ”

"Well..."Sports and fitness were topics that Gwen tried to avoid. Gwen soon lost the desire to continue talking. But from time to time she looked at Peter with a suspicious look.

"I always feel like you're hiding something from me." She muttered under her breath.

-----

Moments later, Peter and Gwen stepped out of the crowded elevator. They took a few turns in the hallway and entered the conference room. The last week of his internship at Osborne House began, and for some reason, Peter was a little emotional.

Anyway, he's really learned a lot here during this time. The amount of knowledge they had to face on a daily basis was a real challenge and challenge for Peter. For the first time in his life, Peter felt the limits of his knowledge, which led him to take a lot of interest in it.

The two sat down in the penultimate row of the conference room. As is customary, every Monday the interns are re-shuffled and divided into new groups.

The Osborne Group made sense, and the internship was designed to bring some of New York's brightest students and future talents into their team. They hope to comprehensively test each student's abilities in all aspects, and this naturally includes interpersonal skills. Of course, poor Peter failed on this item.

The week's grouping was quickly reported, and when neither of the first three groups had their names named Peter or Gwen, their ears pricked up.

"Next up is the fourth group: Frank. Wades, James. Sue, Peter. Parker, Melissa. Watkins,Gwen G. Stacy..."

Hearing this, Gwen and Peter looked at each other. Peter smiled awkwardly, while Gwen had a strange expression.

Although everyone's team is randomly scrambled and assigned to a new team every Monday, theoretically they will encounter a completely different combination of characters every week. But for some reason, during the four weeks of this internship, Gwen and Peter were placed on the same team every time.

"Hey, hey... What a coincidence. Peter scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and the corners of Gwen's mouth twitched slightly. She looked at the instructor who had just finished registering the list, and then at Peter, who was beside her, with a very strange look in her eyes.

"It's so strange, once or twice it's just a coincidence, how come they all lined up four times... I always felt that there was something weird about it. Gwen's suspicions rose, and Peter, who was on the side, kept wiping the cold sweat that flowed from himself.

"Nothing odd about it... After all, they also said that every detachment is random. Maybe it's just my luck? Peter quickly explained, but a sense of weakness kept pouring out of his heart.

At the end of the second week of grouping, Peter, who was still celebrating himself in the same group as Gwen, was pulled over by Harry, who was sneered at by Harry. At that time, he already knew that Harry must be behind this incident, but he pretended not to know and acquiesced in Harry's behavior.

This kind of thing is really good! It's really cool to have a rich second-generation friend!

Peter was secretly smug in his heart. inadvertently hugged the thigh of the local tyrant, and he was really lucky.
