Chapter 107

  The tempting smell of wine is just around the corner, waiting for her to savor. She filled her lungs with its smell—it is different from the ones they have.

  “Have some if you want,” Lux offered when he noticed how she's furtively occasionally breathing its faint scent from his glass.

  She defensively shook her head in embarrassment and sit properly. Lately, since the day they came back from their mission, he often calls her to his office. Same thing that he had always been doing to their late Captain.

  “I am not drinking, Sir,” she refused yet still craving to breathe for more.

  “If you say so.” The man put his glass away, leaving no more fragrance of the wine on the table—just his breath alone.

  Eve cleared her throat to stopped her unusual behavior.

  “I have watched the video recorded—the meeting, I should say. I must say that you somehow have managed to get along with the other Captains. Well, except for the ones that had always been envy to Captain Eulysis.”
