Chapter 807 187.3 - Sylvie is here too
Irina's fiery eyes narrowed slightly, her annoyance bubbling beneath the surface as she studied Sylvie. It wasn't that she didn't like her; in fact, Sylvie was generally someone Irina found tolerable, even respectable. But this sudden assertiveness—this push to change the plan—was entirely out of character for her.
'This girl…' Irina thought, her jaw tightening as her irritation simmered. Sylvie rarely spoke up like this, much less in a way that challenged others so directly. And now, she was pushing back against Irina, something that sent a faint warning bell ringing in her mind.
It wasn't just annoying. It was suspicious.
'What's her angle? Why does she care so much about meeting earlier? She never does this kind of thing. Is she… one of those?'
Irina's smirk softened into something sharper, more calculating. There was a possibility here she couldn't ignore. But instead of pressing Sylvie further, she decided to pivot.
Her fiery gaze shifted to Astron, standing calmly beside her. His sharp purple eyes were as unreadable as ever, his posture steady and unbothered by the tension in the room.
"Well then," Irina said, her voice carrying an edge of exasperation. "What do you think?"
Astron's eyes moved to hers, calm and deliberate. "About what?" he asked evenly, his tone devoid of any urgency.
Irina raised an eyebrow, her annoyance flaring briefly. "About whether we should meet earlier or not."
Astron's gaze lingered on her for a moment, and Irina caught the faintest flicker of something in his eyes—amusement. His lips quirked slightly, as though he were holding back a smirk.
"Which type of answer do you want?" he asked, his voice calm but carrying a faint undertone of mischief. "The logical answer, or the answer you want to hear?"
Irina's jaw tightened, the corner of her mouth twitching involuntarily as she glared at him. She could see it now—the faint, barely-there glint of amusement in his sharp eyes. 'This bastard…'
Her fingers drummed lightly against her crossed arms as she steadied her voice. &q
