Chapter 1007
They were on the same side, so it was vital to share critical intel.
“You guys are incredible.
And about yesterday… sorry about that. Felicia insisted on tagging along when we came over p>
York said apologetically.
“If she’s tailing you, then don’t come knocking on our door p>
Owen said, his brow furrowing.
“This isn’t a game. Bringing that woman into this is nothing but a massive liability p>
“She wouldn’t dare compromise the mission, would she p>
Callum asked defensively.
“I’ll admit, your combat skills are solid. But you grew up in a military bubble. You have no idea how twisted human nature can really be p>
Owen stated flatly.
“Listen to me: there are secrets you cannot let Felicia near, or you’ll pay the price. If anything goes sideways because of her, I’ll be the first to report you both p>
The two men stiffened, feeling the weight of the threat. “Relax. We aren’t idiots p>
Callum shot back.
Owen gave him a sidelong glance, entirely unconvinced. He looked exactly like an idiot to him.
When they headed down to the dining area, Mira and Owen both wore sunglasses to hide their bloodshot eyes from the lack of sleep.
They grabbed a table and were chatting quietly over their food when Felicia suddenly stormed over. “Why didn’t anyone tell me you were coming down for breakfast p>
“Who made the rule that we all have to eat together p>
Callum sneered, not bothering to hide his annoyance at Felicia.
“You… why did you leave me all alone in the dorms while you came down to eat?” “Did your legs stop working? Or did you suddenly forget the way downstairs?” York rarely spoke up, but Callum had zero patience for her attitude.
Felicia opened her mouth to argue, but her gaze snapped to Mira sitting at the table with them, and her fury ignited.
“York! I can’t believe you’re fraternizing with her. I’m reporting you to our superiors p>
“Reporting me for what? Eating breakfast in the dining hall?
You’re a lunatic p>
York scoffed.
“You’d rather hang out with her than me p>
Felicia snapped, pointing an accusatory finger at Mira.
“We actually like her. We don’t like you p>
Callum stated bluntly, staring her down.
A few tables over, Jax snickered quietly.
“Hey, keep Mira out of your petty arguments p>
Owen warned, his predatory gaze locking onto Felicia. “Drag my lady into this again,
and we’re going to have a serious problem p>
“You! Fine. You’re all so tough.
Just wait. We’ll see how you feel when you need my help p>
For this operation, Felicia was in charge of logistics, meaning she held the purse strings for all military-issued funds.
Master Ellis watched the woman stomp away. “She’s going to cause trouble p>
He turned back to York and Callum. “If you boys run into any roadblocks, just ask us. Don’t suffer in silence out of pride p>
“Don’t worry, sir. We won’t let her walk over us. Not a chance p>
The two of them clearly didn’t grasp the true weight of the old man’s warning.
It wouldn’t be until Felicia maliciously cut off their access to essential supplies that
they finally understood exactly what he meant.
As they were finishing their meal,
Owen Are you two not planet
Warren strolled over to Mira and
heading out for some sightseeing today p>
on
“We exhausted ourselves yesterday and we’re feeling a bit under the weather. We’re just going to rest today p>
The inn owner gestured to a server who placed two specially prepared dishes in front of Mira and Owen. “These are local specialties. The chef whipped them up just for yok!. Please, have a taste p>
“Thank you, Mr. Milton. We’ll definitely savor them p>
Warren lingered for a moment, watching them. When they didn’t immediately reach for their
silverware, he knew he couldn’t just
stand there staring, so he eventually
turned and wandered toward the front door.
The second his back was turned, Mira smoothly scraped the food into a plastic bag and shoved it out of sight.
When Warren circled back and saw the empty plates, a smug smile touched his lips. “Did you enjoy it p>
“It was absolutely delicious. As you can see, we cleaned our plates.
Thank you so much, Mr. Milton p>
Mira beamed at him.
