Since last night, Paul didn't smile at all. He looked upset and annoyed because, again, he would be left alone in London, as the boss and Linda were going to Luxembourg to carry out an assignment given by Professor Gilbert.
"Don't be mad, Paul, we were only away for three weeks. You don't have to worry either, because I'm in the same room with Anne," Linda said quietly, trying to calm Paul down for the umpteenth time.
"I'm not angry. I'm just annoyed that you always go abroad during semester breaks like this. Shouldn't you be on vacation instead of doing assignments like this? Especially when you have to go abroad and you almost always do that once every six months," answered Paul in annoyance. He couldn't cover up his mistakes because Linda always left him every time he was off from college and Paul felt a little afraid if Linda left him.
