Otis was still fuming, but the woman sitting inconspicuously in the corner slowly stood up and walked toward the exit.
Hearing the movement, Otis looked over. His expression softened slightly as he tried to get her to stay. "Mia, you just got here. Are you leaving already?"
The woman called Mia didn't turn around. She just said coolly, "This isn't the first time you've contacted those seeds from the Heavenly List. You don't need me to watch over you. I have more important things to do."
Otis pouted at her words. "But... ever since you completely attached yourself to that guy, you've become colder and colder. Sometimes I wonder if our decision back then was a mistake..."
Mia stopped in her tracks and whipped her head around, her voice laced with icy killing intent. "Watch your mouth! If you don't know what should and shouldn't be said, I don't mind shutting it for you."
Otis, who had been chattering nonstop, suddenly felt his breath catch in his throat.
