Andrew instinctively wanted to say no, to argue, but seeing Scarlett's eyes that seemed ready to shoot lasers and burn him, he was so scared that he swallowed his words.
"Don't even think about arguing. That Friday, I was preparing lessons for the next class, and I forgot to close Word. When I went back to check today, I found that what I had done last time was gone. My computer always auto-saves. You must have looked at it then and panicked, forcing a shutdown, which caused it not to save."
'No way! Does she remember that? How can her memory be this good?'
Andrew felt completely numb. He never expected Scarlett to remember it so clearly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't intentionally increase your workload."
"It was just the preparation material for one class; losing it doesn't matter. I'm asking you, what did you see at that time that made you panic and force the computer to shut down?"
