"Really? Who is it this time?" Aliana asked, raising an eyebrow with genuine interest.
"Well, boss... it's you," Nigel replied in a small, cautious voice.
When Aliana simply stared at him with a perfectly blank expression, Nigel began to grow uneasy, sensing an incoming storm of denial.
"I think you've been watching far too much drama lately. It's clearly muddled your brain," Aliana said, rolling her eyes.
"Actually, Boss, I barely have time for TV these days when there's a real-life drama unfolding right in front of my eyes," Nigel stated, that familiar sparkle appearing in his eyes whenever he caught a whiff of a new plotline.
"Really?" Aliana scoffed. "And who, exactly, am I sparking with?"
"The mysterious male god we met today," Nigel replied, a cheeky smile playing on his lips.
Aliana knew exactly who he was talking about.
