Chapter 231 The White-Haired Director Receives a Harsh Lesson
The office door was ajar, letting in a faint light.
Sean crept closer, pressing his ear to the crack in the door, trying to catch any sounds inside.
Then he heard a whisper.
"Is the thing here?" a male voice with an extremely hoarse tone asked.
"Hmm...::" The white-haired loli made a muffled response through her nose, her voice sounding hesitant. "Really... should we do this?"
"This is...fate..."
The man's voice was intermittent, which meant Sean had to carefully adjust his position to hear him clearly.
When Sean finished adjusting his position, the man finished speaking, and Sean only caught the word "arrangement".
Is it fate's arrangement?
It sounds...it seems...it makes some sense," Sean thought uncertainly.
After the man finished speaking, the white-haired loli in the office didn't say anything more.
Then came... a deathly silence.
Sean couldn't hear his own breathing because he was holding his breath.
However, he could hear his own heartbeat.
Because his heart was still beating.
In addition, he also heard... a strange sound.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar to education expert Sean.
Ten minutes later, it seemed that something inside had come to an end.
Then came the sound of footsteps.
Yes, the two people seemed to be walking towards the office door.
Sean's heart tightened, and he instinctively stepped aside.
The next moment, the door opened.
The office light suddenly streamed in, illuminating the corner where Sean was hiding.
He held his breath, pressed his body against the wall, afraid of making the slightest sound.
Through the crack in the door, two figures slowly emerged. One was a tall, thin man whose face was hidden in the shadows, with only his well-defined features and tightly pursed lips vaguely visible. The other was a white-haired loli, whose clothes were disheveled and who looked somewhat uneasy. Her hands were clasped together, and her eyes kept looking down, as if she was trying to escape something.
Professor Sean, who was familiar with the educational process, naturally knew what the white-haired loli's expression meant.
She...was eaten!
Damn it, this witch, who was so perfect and fit his image, got taught a lesson by this man.
It's truly heartbreaking.
Pity.
Such great resources.
"I should go now," the tall, thin man said.
"I...I, I'll take you." The white-haired loli suddenly said, blushing.
Sean cursed the two of them inwardly.
Perhaps it was Sean's unseen and intangible resentment that penetrated the tight protection that the invisibility cloak was supposed to provide.
Just as the tall, thin man and the white-haired loli were about to disappear at the end of the corridor, he suddenly stopped, as if drawn by some invisible force, or perhaps by an inexplicable intuition that made him realize something.
His head slowly turned, and at that moment, he actually glanced warily at the corner where Sean was hiding.
What kind of eyes were those!
Cold and cruel, like two bottomless pools of ice, unable to emit a single ray of warm light.
This warning, though only for a brief moment, made Sean's heart tighten suddenly, as if all his secrets and pretenses had been ruthlessly exposed in that instant.
He felt a chill creep up his spine, and all the muscles in his body involuntarily tensed up, preparing to deal with any unexpected situation that might occur.
However, the tall, thin man's gaze lingered there for only a moment before he casually looked away and continued walking forward with the white-haired loli.
Sean breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both relieved and puzzled.
The opponent's immense pressure was even stronger than Dumbledore's.
When did such a person appear in the magic world?
How come he didn't know?
Why did the way he looked at the man just now seem familiar?
Could it be... related to Grindelwald?
That shouldn't be the case.
For a moment, countless thoughts swirled in Sean's mind, but he quickly gave up thinking about them.
The half-closed office was like a beautiful woman with her doors wide open, attracting his gaze.
Shall we go in and take a look?
He promised that he would go in and not move around.
If he doesn't go in now, it will be too late when the white-haired loli comes back.
With that thought in mind, Sean went inside.
As soon as he stepped into the office, an item on the desk immediately caught his attention.
It was a pocket watch, lying quietly in a corner of the cluttered table, yet it shimmered with an unusual light.
This pocket watch is not fancy, and even a bit old, but the engraving on the case is exceptionally fine.
The faint light he emitted was particularly eye-catching in the office, drawing him closer involuntarily.
He gently picked up the pocket watch, feeling its weight; the hands ticked quietly, making a soft, crisp sound.
But the needle just won't move.
Is it broken?
Why does this watch feel so familiar?
Just then, light footsteps came from outside the door. Sean's heart tightened, and he subconsciously put his pocket watch into his pocket. The next second, the white-haired loli walked in.
She sat down in the chair in front of the desk, glanced at the somewhat messy surface, then pushed everything to the side near the wall, clearing a small space, and then... fell asleep on the desk.
Maybe... I was just too tired.
Listening to the sounds I just heard... no wonder I was so tired.
Sean didn't think much of it, glanced warily at the still-sleeping white-haired loli, and then tiptoed out...
The next day.
As the sun slowly rises and the distant horizon turns a pale white, a new day quietly begins.
Sean, the good employee of the Ministry of Magic, woke up early.
He took a deep breath, trying to expel all the turmoil of last night with his exhale.
Sean acted as if nothing had happened and went to work at the Ministry of Magic as usual.
So, as usual, he carefully straightened his magic robe, making sure every wrinkle was smoothed out and every decoration was just right.
He looked no different from usual in the mirror, and even looked...more handsome.
Perhaps it was the turmoil of last night that made his eyes look tired and weary, which gave him an indescribable charm today.
Pretending nothing had happened, Sean set off for the Ministry of Magic.
To be precise, they flew towards the Ministry of Magic.
Several phantoms materialized, and Sean had already arrived inside the Ministry of Magic.
Everything was peaceful as usual. While riding the elevator, Sean encountered several familiar faces. He nodded and greeted them, and one of them was Arthur.
"Good morning, Phillips. You look great today!" he said.
Sean smiled slightly and replied, "Yes, Arthur, the weather is nice today, and it's making me feel better too."
The elevator doors slowly opened, and Sean stepped out and went to his office.
However, as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Penelope, who had been waiting for him in front of his desk for a long time.
Today, Penelope wore a dark blue long dress with a sleeveless design, which fully revealed her fair and delicate arms.
The neckline of the dress is adorned with a row of exquisite lace trim that extends all the way to the bodice, adding a touch of romance to the garment.
The skirt gradually widens from the waistline downwards, and the loose, soft fabric outlines Penelope's graceful waistline, perfectly highlighting her slender waist and round, pert hips.
If we had to find something in common between her and yesterday, it would be that she stood shyly in front of her desk, just like always.
When Penelope saw Sean appear, her watery eyes immediately turned fiery, and her cheeks flushed slightly. Sean was already on high alert.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
He was curious to see what Penelope was up to.
So, he put on a warm expression, smiled at Penelope, and asked, "Good morning, Miss Calivat. Is there anything important that you need to see me about so early?"
"It's like this..." Penelope hesitated, her shy gaze falling on Sean before quickly shifting away, as if wondering whether she should speak.
After a moment's hesitation, she finally made up her mind and whispered, "Actually...actually...I've fallen for you, Mr. Phillips."
"Huh?" Sean was stunned; Penelope's sudden confession caught him off guard.
He never expected Penelope to have such feelings for him, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
An awkward atmosphere filled the office, and Penelope's face turned bright red as she lowered her head, avoiding Sean's gaze.
Penelope's words exploded in Sean's mind like a bomb, leaving him stunned on the spot.
Several seconds passed before he came to his senses, forcing a stiff smile: "...Thank you for your kind words."
But I think there's still some distance between us.
"It's alright, I know Mr. Phillips must like me too." Penelope looked up, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "I'm content just being able to stay by Mr. Phillips's side."
"But..." Sean wanted to say something more, but Penelope interrupted him.
"Stop talking, please let me stay. I can be your personal assistant and take care of your daily life." Penelope grabbed Sean's wrist, her tone pleading.
Her fingers were warm and smooth, and she held Sean's hand like a snake, entwining it tightly.
Sean felt his heart racing, and a surge of heat gradually welled up inside him.
"It really won't work...we're just not a good match." Sean gently pulled away from Penelope's hand and took a step back to create some distance between them.
However, at that very moment, Penelope suddenly rushed toward Sean, wrapped her arms around his waist, and pressed her body tightly against his chest.
"Why...don't I have any attraction for you at all?" Penelope raised her tear-filled face, her pitiful eyes making one's heart ache.
"It's not like that...it's just..." Sean stammered, feeling himself becoming aroused as he pressed against Penelope's soft belly.
"Then accept me, Mr. Phillips..." Penelope's lips approached Sean's ear, and she gently exhaled a breath of hot air.
"Let me serve you and meet all your needs..."
