"Dominic, you idiot!"
Shiao Yi shouted the words like a weapon, his voice echoing through the corridor as he slammed the door open and stormed outside.
The image of Dominic's surprised, handsome face burned in his mind while sitting there in the middle of a group of women crowding around him in that tavern-slash-dining hall.
What the hell am I doing? Am I a child? he thought bitterly. I'm acting like some jealous kid!
He couldn't believe himself. And I'm supposed to be a B.O.W numbe rone agent? What a joke!
Lately, his emotions had been all over the place. Especially whenever he was near Dominic. His self-control seemed to slip away and he felt like he was regressing into someone childish and more dependent on him.
Whenever he felt Dominic's presence, a strange sense of peace came over him. But still—! That didn't mean he wanted to cling to him or depend on him like some lovesick fool! That was unacceptable. He refused to admit it. Absolutely not!
