333 The Two Visitors
So it was Sasha. When did she return? Michael didn’t even tell me. freeweb novel.com
But speaking of which, Michael didn’t have the time to mention such an insignificant thing to me. We didn’t even have enough time to make love.
I cast aside all other thoughts and gave Sasha a big smile.
“It’s you. Oh my god, I’m so happy to see you.”
“Me too,” said Sasha as she hugged me.
Only then did I notice that there was another person behind Sasha. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looked a little familiar. He noticed my gaze and slightly nodded at me.
“What is this?” I asked, puzzled.
“Oh, this is Mr. Thomas.” Sasha brushed the hair behind her ear. I noticed that there was a suspicious pause in her tone. “He’s a scientist.”
Why did the Lycan pack need a scientist? I didn’t know that there were any research institutions here. Even Sasha went to the human world to attend university. What Sasha said sounded strange.
The doubt in my eyes deepened as I saw Mr. Thomas reaching out his hand to me. “Hello, Cyrus Thomas. We met once a long time ago. I wonder if you still remember.”
Mr. Thomas spoke with a candid tone that was completely different from his appearance.
I subconsciously shook his hand and introduced myself. “Cecily Levin. I’m sorry, but I don’t remember where we met before.
Mr. Thomas smiled, but before he could speak, Sasha cut him off. “In the Ancient Wood Pack. Michael went crazy looking for you, and we all thought that b*stard was going to be killed by him.”
Oh, that.
I recalled how chaotic the scene was back then. It was so noisy, and Michael turned into a beast, wanting to kill Robert.
Then, I rushed out and hugged Michael in front of everyone, stopping him from doing anything terrible to Robert. Michael also brought many people; Mr. Thomas was probably in the crowd.
My face suddenly turned red. It would have been really awkward if that had been the first time we met.
I couldn’t imagine what kind of impression I left in the other person’s heart.
“Oh, hahaha, I remember now. That’s been a really long time,” I replied with a yawn.
Mr. Thomas probably saw my embarrassment, so he tactfully didn’t continue the topic. He just smiled and said, “It seems that you guys have a lot to talk about. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Oh, okay.” I naturally had no objections.
To me, this was only my first meeting with Mr. Thomas. He was just a stranger to me.
I was not the kind of person who could get to know everyone so quickly. If Mr. Thomas could leave this place, I’d feel much more relaxed with only me and Sasha left.
I took a step forward, intending to send him off at the door, but I didn’t miss the flash of hesitation on Sasha’s face.
“It’s alright. You don’t have to send me off. I’m very familiar with the palace.” Mr. Thomas’s tone was always like a spring breeze. In this short period, I already had a good impression of him. “You guys have a good chat. Let’s meet again next time.”
“We will,” I replied with a smile.
“Hey, wait a minute.” Sasha suddenly appeared from behind me. She looked at me and then at Mr. Thomas. “Why don’t we go out for a drink today? Cecily, I see that you haven’t had dinner yet. How about we go out and eat something nice?”
The three of us? I didn’t know what to do with Sasha’s sudden suggestion. I thought she had knocked on my door to look for me, but now she wanted to bring Mr. Thomas along. Or perhaps I misunderstood Sasha’s intentions. She only came in to take a look and had other things to do with Mr. Thomas.
My inner thoughts were probably written all over my face. Mr. Thomas smiled and rejected Sasha’s suggestion.
“Nah, I have other things to do later, so I won’t be accompanying you guys. Enjoy your time.”
With that, he turned around and left.
“Ah... I’m done for.”
I heard what Sasha mumbled to herself and shrugged before suggesting, “If you really want to be with him, you don’t have to worry about me. Just go.”
I moved sideways to give Sasha some space at the door.
Sasha glanced at me. “It’s not what you think. Also, who cares what he’s doing? I’m here to look for you.”
Sasha jumped off the table and sat down on the island in the middle. “Tell me, what have you been doing all this time?”
“I just hang around here and do nothing. His Majesty gave me a job in the Special Investigation Department, but it’s not too busy. What about you?”
“Me?” Sasha suddenly noticed that I hadn’t finished eating my oatmeal and said in a fuss, “What is this? You came back to the palace with Michael, and he is feeding you this kind of food?”
“I just don’t have an appetite.” I reached out to take the bowl from Sasha’s hand. “I don’t want to trouble the chef to make something and send it up. This is quite delicious.”
As I said that, I stuffed a mouthful into my mouth.
“Something’s not right. Look at the dark circles under your eyes,” Sasha said, sizing me up. “You obviously haven’t been resting properly.”
