LOGINThe moment Razen finished speaking, Christina seemed to lose all reason. She stared at him as though she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
“Razen…”
“Why don’t you two get in the car and talk?”
Vessara poked her head out of the car and glanced at Christina, whose eyes had gone wide. She rubbed the tip of her nose awkwardly.
It really wasn’t that she wanted to interrupt their reunion. It was just that they were in
After hanging up, Razen sat at his desk, staring at his phone screen. For a brief moment, a trace of irritation flashed across his eyes.But the feeling disappeared just as quickly, as though it had never been there.He sat alone in his office for several minutes before finally picking up his phone and dialing a number.Two minutes later, his assistant came hurrying into the office and stopped in front of him.“Boss, is there something you need me to do?”“Contact the best formalwear boutique around here. Have them prepare some more glamorous dresses…” Razen paused, then changed his mind. “Actually, have them prepare every piece of haute couture in the store. I’m taking someone there to try them on later.”After saying that, Razen rubbed his temples.The more he thought about how he had phrased it, the stranger it sounded, so he simply stopped explaining.When he looked up, he fo
Seeing that Roy still hadn't said a word, Vessara frowned slightly and lowered her gaze toward him.There was an embarrassed look on the man's face, and his hands were gripping his clothes so tightly his knuckles had gone pale.Apparently sensing her gaze, Roy finally spoke awkwardly.“Boss, I... I think I may have caused some trouble this time.”Vessara's brow twitched, and a bad feeling immediately settled in her gut.Sure enough, when she looked at Roy again, he was practically burying his head in the floor.Vessara rubbed her temples a couple of times before asking, “All right. Tell me what happened.”“I... You know how I almost led those people back to the base before? Well, over the past few days, I've noticed that someone seems to be investigating the base. I keep seeing suspicious people lurking around the area.”Roy quickly waved his hands.“But I've been extremely caref
Without Christina, the room suddenly fell quiet.Vessara sat in her usual seat and looked up at Razen.“What happened to her? What kind of trouble did she get herself into overseas?”If the trouble Christina had caused wasn’t too serious, Vessara wasn’t opposed to helping her out.But the moment she said those words, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze.Two pairs of eyes immediately turned toward Vessara.Razen sighed and shook his head slightly.“I’ll handle it. You don’t need to worry about it.”“Okay.”Vessara leaned back against her chair, her eyes slightly raised as she looked at Razen. Suddenly, the corners of her lips curled into a smile, making her look like a lazy little wildcat.After checking the time, Vessara stood up.“I have something else to take care of. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out first.”
Once they were inside, Christina slowly raised her head and looked at Razen.“Can you... help me with something?”“What is it?”Razen poured himself a cup of water without looking up. Even so, he could sense how uneasy Christina was.He sighed softly before finally turning to look at her.The moment their eyes met, Christina seemed to have found the person she could rely on. She hurriedly said, “I need you to help me deal with something. Just this once. Please. You used to help me before...”“What? You’ve run into a problem you can’t handle yourself, so now you’ve come to me?”Razen raised an eyebrow, making no attempt to hide the teasing in his eyes as he looked at Christina.As though she had suddenly remembered something, Christina jerked her head up, only to lower it again just as quickly. She couldn't bring herself to say anything.After a long silenc
The moment Razen finished speaking, Christina seemed to lose all reason. She stared at him as though she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.“Razen…”“Why don’t you two get in the car and talk?”Vessara poked her head out of the car and glanced at Christina, whose eyes had gone wide. She rubbed the tip of her nose awkwardly.It really wasn’t that she wanted to interrupt their reunion. It was just that they were in a rather conspicuous place. If what Quentin had said was true and Christina had gotten herself into trouble, they couldn’t afford to stay here for too long.Otherwise, if someone came looking for her, things would become even more troublesome.What Vessara hadn’t expected, however, was for Christina to suddenly clutch her head and scream.Even Razen was startled. He had no idea what had gotten into her.The next second, Christina shook her head franticall
Vessara hadn't expected to lock eyes with Quentin like that either. She immediately frowned, a complicated look flashing through her eyes.After studying Quentin for a moment, Vessara sighed softly, hiding the helplessness in her eyes. She shrugged and decided to pretend she hadn't noticed anything.What she didn't expect was for Quentin to suddenly speak.“Sister-in-law, you seem to have a problem with me.”The moment the word ‘sister-in-law’ left his mouth, both Vessara and Razen froze.Razen looked at Quentin as though he'd just seen a ghost.Quentin himself realized what he had suddenly said. His mind was a complete mess, and even he couldn't explain the strange feeling stirring inside him.After a few seconds of silence, Quentin looked up at the two of them but didn't say anything.A few seconds later, Razen finally spoke with a half-smile.“What’s this? Finally learned your lesson and figured out who’s actually good to you?”Quentin's face turned bright red. Yet he couldn't find
