Chapter 741: Insect Prevention Powder
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Sir, why are you here?” Sharon walked to Geoffrey’s side. Logically speaking, she should keep a distance from this person, but she couldn’t accept hiding if there was danger. It was better to strike first.
Geoffrey looked at Sharon and was slightly stunned. He suppressed the voice of conscience that had been clamoring in his heart and gave Sharon an honest smile. “When we were doing an inspection yesterday, we discovered many poisonous insects. The director asked me to send you some more medicine, especially this to prevent snakes and insects from approaching. You have to keep it well.”
As he spoke, he distributed the medicine in his hand to everyone. Then, he prepared to distribute the small bottles containing medicinal powder to everyone.
Looking at the white medicine bottle, Sharon felt indescribably strange. She felt that this wasn’t just a preventive powder. “Sir, give it to me directly. I’ll distribute it to everyone.”
As Sharon spoke, she was about to take the medicine bottle from Geoffrey’s hand, but the latter immediately dodged back and avoided Sharon’s outstretched hand. His gaze when he looked up was filled with vigilance and ferocity, no longer as honest as before.
“I’ll handle this small matter. I think you just came back from looking for food. Hurry up and cook, lest you have a mission later and delay time.” Geoffrey had an honest smile on his face again, but his fierce expression just now was deeply imprinted in Sharon’s mind. At this moment, she was sure that there was something wrong with Geoffrey, and he was targeting her.
Although she had already confirmed it in her heart, Sharon still had a kind smile on her face as she took the small white bottle from Geoffrey. “Thank you then, Sir.”
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome. This is what I should do.” Geoffrey raised his hand and touched his head. He chuckled, making him look even more harmless.
[This prop team’s staff is not bad.]
[That’s right. One look and you can tell that he’s a kind person. He’s silly and has no heart.]
[Do you guys think so? Why do I feel that he’s a little strange?]
[Me too, me too. He looks really strange, but I can’t tell what’s strange about him.]
[Those who say that he’s strange are crazy, right? They can scold anything they see. Did the props man offend you?]
[That’s right. Why are keyboard warriors looking for a sense of existence everywhere? He is so nice.]
Seeing that Sharon had accepted the powder, Geoffrey heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, he turned around and continued to distribute the powder to the others. After distributing it, he hurriedly left. Sharon watched as he walked faster and faster, as if he was escaping. She narrowed her eyes, took out the medicine bottle in her pocket, and looked at it carefully.
Who was behind this person? What was the effect of this bottle of medicine?
“Sharon, why are you in a daze?” Melissa didn’t know how to cook, but when she thought of how the few of them had said yesterday that they wouldn’t give her food if she sat and enjoyed their achievements, she decided to stay by Sharon’s side to observe and occasionally help her with something. This way, they wouldn’t have any reason to say that she didn’t contribute.
“Hey, your bottle looks good. Mine is dirty.” Sharon was still immersed in her thoughts. Melissa followed her gaze and saw the bottle in her hand. She took out hers and looked at it. There was an unknown black substance on the bottle, and Sharon’s medicine bottle was a little pink under the sunlight. It seemed to be much better than the one in her hand.
Melissa was usually spoiled. It didn’t matter if she didn’t see that other people’s things were better than hers, but once she saw them, she couldn’t allow it. Hence, she took a step forward and took the medicine bottle from Sharon’s hand. She weighed it in her hand and placed her bottle back in Sharon’s hand.
“What are you doing?” Sharon was shocked by her actions and reached out to snatch it back, but Melissa put it in her pocket first.
“I’m just exchanging it with you. It’s the same thing. I’m just exchanging it.” Melissa had a fawning smile on her face that she did not notice.
Sharon didn’t know why, but there was definitely something wrong with this bottle of medicine. If she gave it to Melissa like this, wouldn’t she be harming the latter? “Give it back to me!”
“Why are you so petty! It’s just switching it with you. I won’t give it to you!” Melissa might not listen to you if you talked to her nicely and coaxed her, but if you were stubborn, she definitely wouldn’t listen to you.
Hence, she stuck out her tongue at Sharon and slipped away..
