However, I Rejected

Alvin calmly replied to Aurelia's confession, "You are very beautiful. I admit that I am indeed attracted to you."

"However, I am a conservative person. We have only known each other for less than a minute. So, let's talk about it again in the future."

Alvin was extremely calm at this moment.

A man should never let his testosterone take over his brain.

There were only three situations where Aurelia would confess to him.

The first situation was that Aurelia was indeed a mentally ill patient. One who escaped from the hospital.

Then, she used some unknown methods to investigate him. Perhaps she found some of his records, or maybe she hired a private detective.

The behavior of a psychopath did not require logic. This was the scariest part.

If he agreed today, then he may need to pay the price for it in the future.

The next possible situation would be...

This was probably a newly released television show or a live broadcast of an internet celebrity.

Aurelia was an actor that the production team had found. Obtaining his information was not difficult for a production team that had the budget.

Perhaps several cameras were shooting at this moment.

They were probably waiting for him to rush up and hold Aurelia's arm. If he did that, a group of people would dash out and tell him with a smile, "Sir, it's just a joke."

The last possible situation...

What Aurelia said about reincarnation and transmigration might be true.

But the possibility of this situation was far more unlikely than the first two.

It was a guess that was close to impossible.

...

So Alvin made his own choice, which was to reject the confession.

"Is that so..."

Aurelia held her forehead and buried her face in her elbow.

But after a while, Aurelia suddenly smiled. "You just said that we can discuss this matter in the future, which means that I still have a chance, right?"

Alvin thought for a moment and decided to give an ambiguous answer. "That's right. Let's talk about it in the future. I currently can't trust you yet."

"Okay," Aurelia stood up with a lovely smile and said, "I won't disturb you for now. Also..."

"Also, it's best not to reveal your horoscope constellation to others today. Otherwise, something bad will happen."

After Aurelia said that, she turned around. The hem of her dress billowed and looked like a flower that had bloomed.

The moment Alvin saw the hem of the dress, his heart seemed to slow down by half a beat.

He thought about it.

It was indeed like what Aurelia had said, he liked the dress very much.

But he still shook his head, trying hard not to let some distracting thoughts affect his rational judgment.

That was until Aurelia left the cafe and her fair and tender body basked in the sunlight.

The gazes of the people who were watching them earlier in the cafe also followed Aurelia's back. They clicked their tongues in amazement.

When their gazes swept past Alvin, the clicking sounds from their mouths were especially loud.

Alvin shook his head. Perhaps in the eyes of others, they truly could not understand his actions.

But Alvin had no regrets. He never believed that a treat like this would fall from the sky. Even if there was such a thing, it would not fall on him.

...

After settling this absurd matter, Alvin ordered another cup of coffee and then went back to the office. 

The office was the size of a basketball court, but everyone's space was separated by a partition board. Hence, an individual employee's space was not that big.

"Good afternoon, Alvin."

A short and fat person walked over. It was Alvin's best friend in the company, Jerry.

Alvin replied, "Good afternoon, Jerry."

After the two of them greeted each other, they found their seats and sat down.

Then, they saw a questionnaire on their respective desks.

"What is this?"

Alvin picked it up and found out that it was a questionnaire sent by the company. There were some things he had to fill in.

Among them were height, weight, hometown, age, constellation, birthday, and... the color of his left sock today.

'What the h*ll is this?'

Alvin could understand the first few questions. After all, collecting information about employees was also something a company needed to do.

Although this information had already been filled in when he came to the company, the information would not be accurate for long. Various details may change over time.

But the last question, the color of his socks?

Were they cracking a joke with the employees?

Alvin was just about to use his brain to think what exactly was going on when Jerry sent over a task list.

This task list was filled with work Alvin had to do in the afternoon.

"Sigh," Alvin sighed and pinned the task list on the partition board.

They spent the whole of yesterday looking for the boss's watch.

As a result, he had to work twice as efficiently today.

Therefore, Alvin did not care about the absurdity of the questionnaire and simply filled it in.

When he reached the question asking for the color of his socks, Alvin lifted the leg of his pants to take a look and filled in 'black'.

After filling out the questionnaire, someone came over to collect it and then sent it to the boss's office.

Alvin was just about to start working when he saw Jerry lean over.

Jerry asked in a low voice, "Oh right, Alvin, why didn't I see you today when we were drinking coffee?"

"I went to the cafe on the east side."

"The cafe on the east side?" Jerry's eyes suddenly widened. "You went to the one on the east side? Did you see that incident?"

"What incident?"

"I heard from the others that there was a total beauty who confessed to a man at the cafe this afternoon, but the man rejected her!"

"Uh..."

"I also heard that the beautiful lady ran away after that. But she squatted on the ground and cried right after she exited the cafe. She kept crying."

"Hiss..."

"In the end, the man didn't even care. He ordered another cup of coffee and went to work. Is he even human?"

Hearing this, Alvin hid the coffee he brought with him and replied, "Maybe the man didn't like that beautiful lady?"

"How is that possible? It's said that when she was crying on the road, all the drivers passing by were looking at her. It resulted in two collision accidents! Even if she's a ghost that changed her appearance, she's still this beautiful! Men would have to admit defeat!"

Alvin didn't reply this time.

Since Aurelia was squatting by the roadside and crying after that, this meant that the second situation was completely ruled out. The second situation was assuming it was a staged prank. 

In that case, Aurelia was either a psychopath or...

Reincarnation. Perhaps such a thing really existed.

...

"Ladies and gentlemen! Attention please!"

At this moment, the boss of the company, Mr. Smith, walked to the middle of the office with a stack of questionnaires.

"I have good news for everyone. I found the thief who stole the watch."

"It's Alvin!"
