I’m Someone Else

Clearly, Raymond was telling her to pursue Thomas instead!

However, it was strange even to Rose herself. When she received Raymond’s orders, she did not feel any hint of displeasure or hatred, but rather, she felt embarrassed.

She had to admit that she had been attracted to Thomas for some time now, and she became even more curious about him, especially after witnessing the devastating state of the Hind Family. What kind of man was he? How could he single-handedly overturn the entire Hind Family? He was truly formidable!

“Oh!” Thomas only nodded in reply without any further reaction.

This left Rose a little frustrated. After all, she considered herself a stunning beauty, so shouldn’t he seem a little excited by the fact that she was coming with him to the auction? Fine, if he wasn’t thrilled, then so be it; but he should be surprised at the very least, shouldn’t he? What was with that calm and indifferent expression on his face? Was she really that unattractive? She might not be on par with Olivia in terms of appearance, but she wasn’t that far behind either.

Meanwhile, Thomas did not notice her gloomy expression in the slightest. He took out a cigarette and lit it, placing it between his lips.

“Do you like smoking that much?” Rose asked. It seemed that a cigarette was always in Thomas’ hands every time she saw him.

“Not really. It’s just a habit.”

“Habit, huh?” She observed him carefully. Logically speaking, with how frequently he smoked, his teeth should have turned yellow long ago. However, they remained sparkling white, as if he had never smoked a single cigarette in his life, and it was truly bewildering. Moreover, his fingers showed no signs of yellowing either.

“Thomas, how long have you been smoking?”

After thinking for a beat, Thomas replied, “Probably around eight years.”

His habit of smoking started eight years ago, back when he had just joined the military. It was curiosity that led him to try it after seeing his comrades smoke, but little did he know that he found himself addicted once he had a taste. Smoking helped to alleviate his tension before a mission, and it was able to ease his frustration and loneliness as well.
