Ryuen shifted back slightly, just enough to put a little gap between them. He watched as her eyes glowed faintly before returning to normal.
But he simply sighed. "It would be an honor working with you, Hwa."
She smiled in response, visibly pleased that he at least accepted her and did not treat her like he disliked her.
Although she could tell he didn't, from the slight irritation in his eyes and how he moved away from her.
That gesture of his somehow didn't get her annoyed.
Instead, it intrigued her—even more than Daiki had—and she actually liked Daiki more.
But considering Ryuen's calm demeanor, which masked the silently bubbling rage beneath, his assassin-like build, and his mind, she could agree to put both of them on the same scale.
Ryuen shifted his gaze from Hwa to Yurei, who just stared at him blankly, like he was doing something wrong.
