Irene\u2019s mouth twitched. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to put it that terrifyingly\u2026 The people behind this will be watching us, and once they\u2019ve got the facts, they\u2019ll come after you. But we\u2019re still in the state, so they won\u2019t dare act too openly. As long as you stay alert enough, there usually won\u2019t be major problems.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mae nodded. \u201cIt\u2019s fine. Missions I\u2019ve done before were a hundred times more dangerous than this. I don\u2019t care about life or death. You don\u2019t need to worry about me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Irene paused, then nodded. This girl was surprisingly open\u2013minded. \u201cWe trust you. I hope you can be absolutely loyal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mae stood straight. After all, she\u2019d been a mercenary and fought underground matches. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. During the mission period, my life belongs to my employer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was loyal to her employer and would never betray them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood.\u201d Irene nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She actually quite liked this girl. Even her taste in men matched Irene\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be so tense. Come on, sit here. You look too much like a bodyguard. People will get suspicious,\u201d Irene said, dropping her earlier seriousness. She smiled and had Mae sit down, then stuffed a pile of snacks into her arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A girl this age should be bright and carefree, blooming on a college campus, not like Mae, forged into a cold machine that only knew how to execute orders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mae\u2019s experiences were somewhat similar to Adriana\u2019s, except that the outside world was even crueler.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana had mostly endured emotional torment, but Mae had grown up through physical brutality.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A young girl, taken to Southeast Astoria by her foster parents, surviving all these years by fighting underground and working as a mercenary\u2026 You can imagine how brutal that life was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thinking of Adriana made Irene feel even more sorry for Mae.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWant some fruit?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMilk?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHow about some cake?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t just sit there\u2026 Wanna watch a movie?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sitting on the couch, Mae felt awkward for the first time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before she met Gary, no one had ever been kind to her. But Gary was a man. He\u2019d saved her life, yes, but he wouldn\u2019t be this considerate in small details\u2026 Yet Irene, who already knew she had feelings for Gary, was still kind to her. She couldn\u2019t help but wonder if it was an act.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And yet, Mae couldn\u2019t see any pretense in Irene at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore I came, Mr. Harrison talked to me. He asked me \u2026 whether I had inappropriate feelings toward him. I guess you were the one who noticed, right?\u201d Mae decided to be straightforward with Irene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Irene nodded, not really taking it too seriously. \u201cYeah. I could tell at a glance. But don\u2019t be nervous. It just means we both have good taste. Just don\u2019t try to steal him from me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe loves you very much. He\u2019d give his life for you. That kind of love isn\u2019t something ordinary people can wedge into. I don\u2019t have that ability,\u201d Mae said calmly, fully aware of herself. \u201cI\u2019ll adjust my mindset as soon as possible. I won\u2019t cause trouble for you or him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Irene leaned against the wall, looked at Mae meaningfully, and smiled. \u201cDon\u2019t overthink it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the past, she\u2019d met plenty of women chasing Gary. Most of those rivals were thorny, practically wanting to tear her apart. This Mae was actually interesting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At Haldoria University.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana and Yolanda finished class and stretched lazily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you noticed how quiet the classroom is today?\u201d Yolanda gave Adriana a mischievous look. They exchanged glances, and both laughed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Nicole gone, the classroom was way too quiet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone could finally study in peace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana, set up a dinner. Denton and I want to have a meal with Curtis. They\u2019re brothers. I think it\u2019s necessary to properly strengthen their relationship.\u201d Savannah walked over, practically issuing orders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adriana was stunned. Ever since the fake Nicole was exposed, Savannah had clearly switched tactics and goals, now taking the route of reconciling the two brothers. She had no clue what kind of game she was playing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Adriana was very sure Savannah had someone backing her. And that person was very likely the one Curtis had been looking for.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you out of your mind? I take back what I just said\u2026\u201d Yolanda rolled her eyes. She took back her comment about the classroom being quiet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were still plenty of annoying flies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSure.\u201d Adriana smiled. \u201cBut my husband\u2019s pretty busy. I\u2019ll go back and talk to him first. How about we pick a time then?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yolanda stared at Adriana in shock. Did she take the wrong medicine? Why is she even entertaining Savannah?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah nodded, as if she was saying, At least you know your place. \u201cAlright. We\u2019ll wait for your message.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She left with Denton, who looked helpless and snuck a glance at Adriana, not understanding why she had agreed so easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you have a fever?\u201d After Savannah and Denton left, Yolanda reached out and touched Adriana\u2019s forehead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSavannah is up to something. She\u2019s changed her goal. Let\u2019s see what she\u2019s really trying to do,\u201d Adriana whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
