“Huh?” Freya widened her eyes. “I’m in the laboratory every day. Who would I be dating?”

“You’re not dating, but you’re always on your phone sending messages.”

Catherine started recounting. “When we were having lunch at the canteen, you kept chatting with him. You were also chatting during your break time when I went to the laboratory to look for you. I don’t know what the contents of your chat were, but you were smiling at the phone for one second, then pouting angrily and looking worried the next second. How is this situation different compared to
