Right after those two messages, was the voice message that she had sent… and following that, Zivon hadn’t sent any more texts. Oh God, how was she even supposed to react to this…?!
He was clearly jealous, and the fact that she had given him that drunken reply definitely made him much angrier! After all, he had already told her not to drink without him around, and the fact that she had drunk with her senior…! She was undoubtedly in scalding water right now!
It took her a long while, but she eventually replied, ‘…Sorry, I was too tired to make out who the sender was last night…’
Though she was glad that a reply came seconds later, she couldn’t help but clench her fists when she read it.
‘Sorry, but Zivon’s not with me right now… A bit too late to respond, don’t you think?’
…How embarrassing! After taking a deep breath, the blushing woman replied, ‘Sorry, I forgot that this wasn’t his phone… Um, do you know any other way for me to reach him…?’
‘Not exactly… Why? Are you looking for him? I honestly think you should hurry since he was already looking pretty glum by the time I left last night. I have a feeling that he won’t be going easy on his colleagues today, so it’s best to console him at the lab if you want to minimize the damage. Though I say that, he’ll probably make it hard for you to meet up with him. Just a feeling.’
…Yeah, he was definitely pissed… Though she hadn’t done anything wrong, she had to remember that he was currently having to suffer alone in the enemy’s base… She could only imagine how hurtful it was for him to see her have fun outside with an ex-senior while also going against his rule of drinking without him present… She needed to fix things… Fast.
Moving back to Zivon, his iciness spread across the lab, and even though it was sunny outside, his colleagues felt like they were in the freezing tundra… In fact, his aura was so overbearing that they practically rushed out of the lab the second lunch time came! Zivon himself simply remained in his office to sort out several documents…
His voice had clearly frightened whoever it was since the footsteps stopped for a moment… But shortly after, he heard a familiar voice say, “I-it’s me…”
Flinching slightly, he looked up… and sure enough, it was Xavia! Sure, she had a lab coat, cap, and mask on, but he had no trouble recognizing her eyes and voice at all. Squinting slightly, he was prompted to ask, “…How did you get it?”
Before she could even reply, he raised a hand before adding, “Actually, don’t tell me. I’m really busy, so please leave.”
Frowning slightly, she hugged his arm before saying, “…Hey, it took me a lot of effort to get in here, you know…? Don’t you miss me at all…? Or could it be that you’re hiding a woman here…? Is that why you don’t want me to stay…?”
