Chapter 26.2 - Small Time

"This guy."

Irina mumbled to herself as she looked at the departing figure of Astron.

"How irritating."

Whenever she talked to him, he always managed to touch her nerves, no matter what happened.

'Just wait, I will get back to you.'

She hated when she would be left speechless. She hated it when she couldn't refute his words. She hated it when he simply looked at him with a face devoid of any expression.

Mostly, she hated it whenever she was with him.

DING!

At that moment, the sound of notifications came from her bracelet.

[Julia: Guys, you know this weekend Victor's family is giving a banquet, right?]

It was a message from the group chat.

'Banquet? What?'

She thought. She didn't remember Victor mentioning the banquet at all.

[Ethan: This is the first time I am hearing about it.]

[Lucas. Same here. I didn't know about it either.]
