I wonder how good he is..” Vivian nudged my side trailing off suggestively. “Oh, cut it out!” I hissed my cheeks tinting, “He just looks suspicious that’s all.” I said matter of factly starting to feel flustered. “Eh, I don't know he seems to be looking at you.” Vivian drawled. “What!

"There's a very simple reason for that." Jilin hesitated a moment, then pushed the folder towards me. But she left her hand on it. “That is all the information we have gathered about the Drein so far.
