You're lucky to have this opportunity, but we need to clarify sthings." I nodded, feigning innocence as if I didn't understand. It was important for him to believe I was naive.
"Mr. Barnes will likely offer you svaluable insights and suggest better methods to help you advance in your career." I was well aware that those "methods" meant following the conventional academic path. However, I pretended to be clueless and asked, "Why did we have to meet here? Couldn't we use a classroom?" I adopted a distressed and anxious demeanor as if I were a newcomer to such places. This made him uncomfortable, and I noticed a flicker of malice in his gaze.
"This place is discreet, don't you see? If Mr. Barnes were truly comfortable, why would I have had to pick you up from campus? Sthings aren't as simple as you think." I acted as if I was completely in the dark, nodding to his words.

"Mr. Barnes is right in there. You can go in and see for yourself. Just remember, don't upset him. You have a great chance to impress him and get spractical experience here." I feigned surprise and nodded as if this opportunity was important for me. This relaxed him, allowingto gauge his intentions more clearly.
I needed to maintain a facade of vulnerability to ensure he'd let his guard down.
Taking a deep breath, I timidly pushed the door open and stepped inside with a cautious expression.
Upon entering, I spotted Duncan, who looked up with a playful glint in his eyes as if assessing me, trying to read what I was all about. It madefeel awkward and a bit uncomfortable.
