Bring Your A Game

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 1040-“Could it be Area X?” Narissa shot Zephyr a look. “Are you guys trying to fight with us?”

“Never heard of that operation, though,” said Zephyr.

“Really? And here I thought you were just reluctant to speak,” she retorted sarcastically while shooting him a hostile look.

Noticing her hostility, the man asked, “What are you trying to say?”

“I saw the odd looks you two were throwing at each other all this time, and as soon as Matthew left, he got into trouble. Well, I’d say you were the one who sent someone to take him away if you ask me.” Narissa narrowed her eyes.

Zephyr thought this was a bit unfair to him. “I’m sorry for what I did last time, but this is different.”

“You think I’m going down on you because of that?” The woman’s lips formed a mocking smirk. “You give me too little credit. I found Area X’s badge on Matthew. You’re both working for them. I have reason to suspect you. If you want to defend yourself, then go ahead.”

Zephyr frowned, the light in his eyes dimming. When he looked at her again, there was… something in his gaze. These two looked like they were fighting, but on a closer look, it felt more like a couple’s banter.

“Area X has no reason to do that. Zephyr could have let him go when he was at the villa if he wanted. There was no need for him to wait for Jackson,” said Alexander.

“Don’t take it to heart, Zephyr. Narissa is just trying to help,” Elise said, trying to calm things down.

Zephyr looked at her, then at Narissa. He then heaved a long sigh and left the place. “I’ll be seeing Irvin.”

The trio saw him off.

Elise thought for a while before saying, “Zephyr might have a glib tongue, but he’s not a bad person, Narissa. He’s apologized, so let it slide.”
