41 Talking to a bird (1/2)

”What was that about?” Henry asked in his annoyed face. He looked like a jealous wife.

”He wanted me to deliver something personally.” she replied.

Henry was definitely not into her so she dismissed the idea that the question was about her meeting tomorrow with Tristan.

”No. All that flirting, winking, what was that about?” He said with one of his eyebrows raised.

”That man is a total play boy Madel. Don't get yourself associated with him or else..” He said with a threatening voice.

Madel appreciated his concern. He was like a big brother towards her. Protective and caring.

”He is not a play boy Henry. In fact he is one of the most faithful sha... man that I have met.” she swallowed the word shadow.

”Faithful? that man is swarmed by girls all the time.” He rolled his eyes.

She just gave him a deep sigh.

”Let's hurry up in giving these letters Henry. I still need to concoct something.” She said.

He was annoyed. Madel never explained her association with Tristan. He wanted to know but obviously she was not willing to tell.

In her mind, there was nothing to tell. Tristan was her client and a friend. It was just a delivery mission as she said.

”I will enter in a group mission tomorrow to earn MISSION POINTS. Too bad your busy.”

Henry emphasized on the word mission points.

As a working student Madel needs to work hard to earn money. Mission Points can be converted into money and be used to pay for the facilities, experiments, or manuals in the academy.

”Really? I want to join in” she said.

Henry smiled inside.

[The fish took a bait.]

He just needs to find a group mission... If there was any, or find an excuse.
