CHAPTER 190
~Valerie's POV~
"Some things are better left unsaid."
I respected Gamma Ryan even more when he uttered those words. "Thank you."
"No need to thank me, Valerie. It is your business. I cannot be a male gossip and tell him. As long as it does not affect your mission. Besides, having a dating life would also draw unnecessary suspicions from you."
"Don't encourage her, Ryan," Solstice scolded as she sat cross-legged, arms folded in front of her chest.
Ryan nodded. "Although…" his attention returned to me. "Is this a blessing in disguise or a curse for being a naughty troublemaker?"
Solstice cackled beside me, clutching her stomach as she laughed hard.
I groaned and buried my face in my hands. "You… whose side are you on, Gamma Ryan?"
Ryan laughed. "Kid, you know I love you dearly. Of course, I am on the side of comedy."
Solstice's voice rang out once more. I shot her a glare and she nodded, lifting her hands in mock surrender.
