Why it never ends

Chapter 543

Tasia stood a few steps away, observing the conversation between Helen and this woman.

The two chatted about playing tennis together yesterday. It sounded like they met each other and enjoyed it very much. It's just that Helen had to leave early because she was going to have a dinner at night, so the decisive victory is still today.

Helen repeatedly rejected the woman's invitation, first saying that it was not yet four o'clock, and then saying that she had more important things to do. The woman thought it was a refusal, and she held Helen's hand and refused to let go. Helen had no choice but to say: "I am now It’s really something, well, I brought someone with me today.”

Tasia tensed subtly—as the woman looked at her.

"Your friend?" the woman asked.

"It does." Helen replied, "I'll take her over there to make an appointment."

Only then did the woman notice that there was a thin woman standing beside Gustav. She laughed a few times and hurried forward to say hello to Tasia.Tasia nodded cautiously, and was about to say something when she was grabbed by the shoulder.

The woman pinched the bones of Tasia's arm, Tasia was stunned on the spot, and it took a while to remember to move to the side to break free from the woman's hand.

"Don't the people above let you eat!?" The woman asked in surprise.

"No, I... just have a small appetite." Tasia looked away and replied in a low voice.

"You'll come with me later, I'll find someone to take you with me," the woman waved her beat, "Do you know how to fight? Do you usually exercise?"

"Yes," Tasia forced a smile, "Exercise, of course... My stomach and thighs are full of meat—"

"You're going to lose weight! Where's the meat!"

Tasia didn't know how to answer, but Helen had already pushed her to move on.The woman reminded Helen not to miss the appointment for a while, and Helen readily agreed.

"You'll love it there, girl!"

Tasia heard a woman not far away shouting like this.

She turned her head, only to see the back of the woman who had turned around—the woman with the racket had already trotted towards the gymnasium again.

Helen walked quickly with Tasia's shoulders on her shoulders, and Tasia barely kept up.

"...Where are you taking me?" Tasia asked in a low voice, suppressing her anxiety.

"You are already a guardian, so you should know how to deal with dangerous situations, right?"

"Dangerous situation..." Tasia repeated these words half-understood, "Do you mean first aid training or—"

"In the past, mercury needles would use a kind of equipment during training," Helen looked sideways at her. "It provides an immersive experience and can simulate various extreme environments..."

Helen pushed open a door.

"In short, it can teach you a lot... something that is difficult to learn elsewhere."

Just as Tasia was about to keep up, she suddenly found that Gustav stopped outside the door with a low eyebrow.Even though he was empty-handed, his body was still a bit stooped, as if he was holding a heavy luggage bag in his arms, which made him unwilling to look up.

"Aren't you going in?" Tasia asked in a low voice.

Gustav raised his eyes suddenly, as if surprised by Tasia's question.

"...I can't go in here." Gustav replied.

"why?"

"It's already inappropriate for me to come to this floor." Gustav's expression was always a little nervous, "Please go in quickly, don't be delayed because of me."

Tasia was a little confused, but quickly followed Helen into the door.

The hall behind the door was very quiet.

This place is like the kind of street companies that can be seen everywhere in the third district, with a few white desks behind a large clear window, some silver computers and black or blue file racks on it.

The off-white carpet covers the entire room, and there is almost no sound when walking here.

After passing through several unoccupied glass meeting rooms, they came to an inspection room. Through the window, Tasia saw a lot of mechanical equipment with pure white shells.

"Your ship card," Helen handed back the ship card to Tasia again, "take it and go in to the crew on duty, and tell her that you are here to make an appointment."

Tasia took the card, "...do you just need to make an appointment?"

"You need to do a more detailed physical examination afterward, just follow the procedure." Helen glanced at the time, "It won't be too long, 15 minutes is enough."

"...Okay." Tasia replied suspiciously.

She followed Helen's direction into the examination room, and the room fell silent.

……

Gustav stood at the door of the room without saying a word. From time to time, people passed by him. He didn't dare to look up, but just looked down at everyone's shoes.

Most of the people here are wearing sneakers and shorts, going to different venues in groups of threes and twos, talking and laughing, and few people notice him.

Suddenly, he heard some heated conversations in the door behind him, one of whom seemed to be Tasia, but he wasn't sure either.

He looked around, there was no one in the aisle at the moment, so he bravely put his ears on the door panel.

There was a sound of extremely light high-heeled footsteps approaching from behind the door, as if someone was about to open the door and rush out. Gustav was startled, and quickly took a step back, but immediately, he heard a dull impact.

It was quiet again behind the door.

Gustav leaned close to the door to listen again—Helen was whispering, her voice was hoarse, but now that she was separated by a door, it was even more difficult to hear what she said clearly, but one thing was obvious: Tasia was cry.

Gustave suddenly felt a strong fear, and he immediately moved his ears away, scratched his head and itchy cheeks, and continued to stand at the door with his head bowed, just as he had done at first.

……

About 10 minutes later, Helen and Tasia came out one after another.

Tasia had a dozen extra files in her hand, and she held them in both hands, and remained silent.Gustav immediately lowered his head and walked forward behind the two.

"Help her up," Helen ordered, "She accidentally twisted her ankle just now."

Gustav hurried forward, but Tasia just brushed his hand away.

"unnecessary."

Helen stretched her arms: "I'm going to find a friend to play golf, you can go back alone... I'll send you the brooch later."

Tasia cast a resentful glance in Helen's direction.

At this very moment, Gustav saw her red and swollen left cheek, and there was still a tinge of blue at the brow bone - it would probably turn into a striking purple in a few hours.

"Starting tomorrow, you can come and enjoy the services here at any time," Helen said with a smile, "You can even stay overnight, are you looking forward to it?"

Tasia lowered her head again, and said word for word: "...I will never come here again."

"why?"

"Don't use your dirty thoughts to speculate on me," Tasia whispered, "I'm not like you... I have a sense of shame."
