Core Secrets

Amidst Carmen's panicking and beliefs that the guild she joined was going to meet its end soon, Xu Feng was dumbfounded.

Where was the confidence she had in him from earlier? 

How come she changed all of a sudden ever since being exposed to the guild's core secrets? 

'Damn, she's doubting my ability.' Xu Feng's face twitched. 

Never once did he expect there would come a day when Carmen would start doubting him and seek to come up with a solution herself to save him from being fired or replaced. 

"When have I ever failed or been unreliable, Carmen?" Xu Feng held a solemn expression on his face and asked. His gaze locked deeply in her eyes. 

Stunned, Carmen's body tensed up when being gazed at so intensely. 

"N-Never?" She stutteringly replied. Her fingers started fidgeting when she could practically feel his breathing.
