CHAPTER 227

"W-what do you mean?" He said in a not so convincing tone, he was already busted and he cannot deny it further, especially with Luxia who's very perceptive and is skilled in reading emotions. 

"Don't lie to me, boy. I know what exactly you're thinking right now. Something must've happened back there. The look on your face says so." She stated with a wide grin creeping on her lips. 

"T-thats odd... Nothing really happened, it was just a small argument that happened and I managed to ruin Phileo's image in front of the General." He said, eyes averting away from Luxia. 

Her grin faded as it seems that he won't really tell her about what exactly happened in his job. To think that he would stand on his ground just not to tell her about it. It's making her feel annoyed. 

"Fine..." She muttered, her body facing him while her expression changed. She smiled at him, a sweet smile spreading on her lips while her eyes squinted, acting all cute in front of him.
