The woman who brought them here stood at the door.
Her amber eyes brimmed with amusement: "Oh? New Humans?"
She had overheard their conversation.
Xu Shuo was not surprised by this.
On the other hand, Mai Ka stared wide-eyed in shock, his fingers trembling as he pointed at the woman and screamed: "You you you... you really abducted Chris for this! The story about accidentally picking up something is just a lie!"
Upon hearing this, both Xu Shuo and Muriel gave Mai Ka a look that was hard to decipher.
— Seems a little smart, but not by much.
Muriel stepped into the office.
In an instant, Mai Ka excitedly scrambled off the sofa, adopting a protective stance like a mother hen, spreading his arms to shield Xu Shuo.
"I'm telling you! As long as I'm here, don't even think of laying a finger on Chris!"
"Oh, really?"
Muriel looked at him with interest: "I'm curious. Since you know he's a New Human, aren't you worried he might do something to you?"
"Why should I worry about that?"
