"You're here for Affairs Officer 44, right?"
When Gerard heard these words from Carol's mouth, his entire body stiffened, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
He really knew, he really did!
Gerard subconsciously took a step towards Carol, "Carol, you..."
But Carol raised his hand to stop Gerard from coming closer, then Gerard saw a hint of hesitation flash through Carol's eyes, but he didn't explain anything right away. Instead, he gestured with his hand towards the customers still queuing behind Gerard, "I apologize, Sir Gerard, I'm still at work."
Carol's reaction made Gerard feel uneasy, but when he looked back, there indeed were many customers behind him, and most of them were the ones who had given way to him. Now they were looking at him with curious and dissatisfied gazes.
Gerard could only nod, "Alright, then I'll wait for you here."
